I looove sitting by the pool on a warm hot summer day. I don’t like the damage that the sun does to my skin and hair–not to mention how harmful pool water can be. There are a few things that I am never without when I lounge around the pool.
(1) Good reading material. Whether you like a magazine, news paper, book or tablet reading material is definitely needed. Most of the time I am outside by myself. It is the one of the only ways I can escape my day-to-day. And what better way to get away than to sink my nose into some fairytale (or vampire book)?
(2) SUNSCREEN! If there is one thing you need when going outside, it is sunscreen. If you don’t take anything away from this post other than this —> ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN. I like the Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration sunscreen because it also moisturizes.
(3) Hopefully if you are by the pool there is a nice breeze. A hair tie is always important and I love these little elastic ones that don’t pull and tear out my hair.
(4) Perlier Crackling Ice Body Water. It is new to me but it is growing on me fast. This is a nice refreshing body “spritzer” that snaps, crackles, and pops… It also cools and hydrates. I will be reviewing this in depth very soon.
(5) People are used to hearing “take care of your skin” while in the sun, but not many people preach the importance of taking care of your hair. I love spritzing this leave-in conditioner from Alterna’s Bamboo Beach line called Summer Sun Recovery Spray. An in depth review is coming up on this one as well!
What is it that you can’t live without when you are by the pool or on the beach?
