7 Beach Essentials That Aren’t a Bikini

Clarins Sunscreen Care Oil Spray Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($36)

Okay, so yes, technically you already know that you need to bring a sunscreen to the beach, but what you may not have considered is an alternative to your run-of-the-mill cream. Long gone are the days when using an SPF 4 tanning spray was acceptable (if you’re still doing it, please stop), but technology has come very far and this dry oil SPF is proof. Not only will it promote healthy skin (and even promote a healthy glow), but it will actually protect your skin and is magic for the SPF-phobes. (Oh, PS: It’s water-resistant and will work in your hair, too.)
