From glowing skin to hair care, we've put together a must-have check-list for every beach-bound bride. Whether you're having a wedding on the beach, or packing up for a sunny honeymoon, be sure to print out this list (on recycled paper, natch!) when shopping for your cosmetic needs.
get glowing skin
From body scrub to faux tanner, we'll have you glowing in no time!
Step One: Exfoliate. Aveda’s Caribbean Body Scrub ($48) will soften your skin, while leaving you smelling like you just stepped off the sand!
Step Two: Soothe and Nourish: Burt’s Bees Radiance Body Lotion ($9.00) rids your body of the winter “blahs”! This body lotion, made from natural ingredients, enhances your skin’s natural glow so you can feel fresh and beautiful all year round.
Step Three: Polish, polish polish. Origin’s Never a Dull Moment ($23.50) freshens your skin with this brightening face polisher, made from fruit enzymes.
Step Four: Fake It. Origin’s Faux Glow ($17.50) is a self tanner made specifically for your face; the color goes on smooth, while rosemary and orange soothe the skin. Bare Escentuals Faux Tan gives you an all-over glow in three hours while hydrating your skin at the same time ($22).
beach hair
Get soft, supple, beach-ready hair in minutes.
Step One: Moisturize. LUSH I Love Juicy shampoo is perfect for dried out swimmer’s hair. Seaweed ingredients soften the hair, while the citrus scents leave you ready to jump start your day ($24.95). Condition with Bumble and Bumble's Alojoba Conditioner. This moisture-rich, color compatible formula is made from Aloe Vera, Jojoba Seed Oil and cucumber.
Step Two: Roll with It: Get that toss and tumbled beach look with Beach Bag Elixir, which contains a mix of sea minearals an organic oils -- it's our favorite product for year-round, beachy locks.
out in the sun
Say 'I Do' to healthy, protected skin.
Step One: Protect the Body. Juice Beauty SPF 30 Sheer Moisturizer protects your skin while replenishing it of its natural nutrients! This moisturizer ($29) even includes anti-aging ingredients so you can soak up sun without regretting it later down the road.
Step Two: Face Facts! Don’t forget about your face while you are lathering up the rest of your body with protection. Korres Watermelon Sunscreen Face Cream SPF 30 smells watermelon-yummy -- and is rich in vitamins and carbohydrates for your skin ($28).
Step Three: ReHydrate. After you lay out, make sure to spoil your sun-dried skin with an after-sun soother. We like Burt’s Bees Aloe & Linden Flower After Sun Soother ($10). The coconut oil and bee pollen revives your skin while replenishing it nature moisture.
