Emily Kirkpatrick, Associate Style News Editor: While you'll typically find me lounging seaside totally makeup-free, some days you need a little more coverage with your sunscreen, and for that I'm all about Coola's tinted sunscreen stick. It provides just the right amount of foundation, while still keeping my skin totally nourished.

SUPERGOOP SUNSCREEN

Lindy Segal, Style Social Editor: I am, as they say, pale AF. So I usually don't leave the house — let alone go to the beach — without anything below SPF 50. This sunscreen goes on super-sheer, has amazing coverage, and smells fantastic.

Buy it! Supergoop antioxidant-infused sunscreen mist SPF 50, $19; nordstrom.com

WET BRUSH SQUIRT

B832R_PK-LT

Lindy Segal, Style Social Editor: I love having actual beach waves IRL, but they aren't the easiest to manage. Keeping this baby brush in my bag and going through my hair every now and then when I get out of the water saves me from a mountain of tangles at the end of the day.

SUN BUM LIP BALM

Lindy Segal, Style Social Editor: As good as I try to be about SPF, one thing I seem to always forget about is my lips, and I get home to a dry, painful pout. This balm is a solid SPF 30, and the coconutty scent keeps me reapplying all day long.

DRUNK ELEPHANT TINTED SUNSCREEN

Credit: Courtesy Sephora

Sharon Kanter, Deputy Style Director: I am a total sun worshipper/tan-obsessed, but I know the value of a good sunscreen. That's why I love this tinted sunscreen from Drunk Elephant -- the formula is toxin-free, which is fabulous, but it also is tinted, which means I can feel like I'm already getting bronze, all while protecting my skin. It's a total win-win.

Buy It! Drunk Elephant Umbra Tinte™ Physical Daily Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30, $36; sephora.com

Sharon Kanter, Deputy Style Director: I fell in love with this balm last summer after a few people recommended it to me. And, I gotta say, they weren't wrong: I put the do-everything balm on my hands, arms and decollatage. Not only did it sooth all my sad sunburns, it also left a lovely sheen, all while smelling like delicious coconut. I loved it so much, I kept using it year-round.

COOLA LIP SPF IN VANILLA PEPPERMINT

Credit: Courtesy of Sephora

Sharon Kanter, Deputy Style Director: I made the sad mistake of going hiking in the sun without lip SPF and woke up to the worst chapped lips I've ever had in my life. Luckily, the resort where I was staying stocked this amazing product. It definitely helped my lips heal faster, and the peppermint/vanilla combination felt so refreshing. Plus, it has SPF 15 in it, so I happily reapplied over and over again -- so much so that I used the whole thing on one trip!

Buy It! COOLA Liplux SPF 15 - Vanilla Peppermint, $12; sephora.com

LA ROCHE-POSAY ANTHELIOS 30 COOLING WATER-LOTION SUNSCREEN

71bN9Pj77dL._SL1500_

Kaitlyn Frey, Style & Beauty Assistant: One of the reasons I never considered applying sunscreen at the beach a pleasant experience was due to the greasy, sticky feeling lotions I used left behind. That is, until I discovered this lightweight formula from La Roche-Posay. It's just as protective, but feels like water when you rub it in. It absorbs instantly, feels cooling on the skin, has a fresh scent and even -- dare I say -- makes putting on sunscreen kind of fun.

Buy It! La Roche-Posay Anthelios 30 Cooling Water-Lotion Sunscreen SPF 30, $35.99; dermstore.com

ILIA CUCUMBER WATER STICK

ILIA_SU17_Cucumber_Water_Stick

Kaitlyn Frey, Style & Beauty Assistant: This may be marketed as a face primer to use before makeup application, but I like to rub this all over my face when I'm borderline overheating. I've recently became obsessed with sipping on cucumber water too, so its fresh and summery scent makes it even more enjoyable to apply by the ocean, too.

RITUALS THE RITUAL OF AYURVEDA HAND BALM

4591-014591-The-Ritual-of-Ayurveda-hand-balm-PRO-_1_

Kaitlyn Frey, Style & Beauty Assistant: I've become the one girl out of group of friends that always supplies the hand cream when everyone's palms get parched. My hands are incessantly dry, and the gritty sand at the beach doesn't help. I need a nourishing hand cream by my side, and this rich formula from Rituals fits the bill. I've gone through so many tubes of it!

YUNI SHOWER SHEETS

Yuni Shower Sheets

Jackie Fields, Beauty Editor: If there’s a downside to a day at the ocean, it’s that sticky, icky feeling on your skin you feel the minute you step off the sand. But since I discovered these handy wipes I can go right from a beach chair to a restaurant chair without a proper shower.

Colleen Kratofil, Style Writer-Reporter: When I finally have a day at the beach or the pool, I always make the most of it by lounging in the water the entire time. So because I know how important it is to reapply sunscreen, I opt for Neutrogena's wet skin spray. I get full coverage without having to miss a moment in the water to dry off.

EMI JAY NEOPRENE HAIR TIES

Jillian Ruffo, Associate Beauty Editor: Without fail, every time I need a hair tie, there's not a single one in sight. So I keep these bright, summery ones in my bag in order to make sure I'm never stuck without one. The best part? They're made out of neoprene (wetsuit material), which means they stay put and dry fast.
