Before heading out into the sun, make sure to be ready with proper skincare. Soaking up sun is amazing but soaking up UV rays are a big no-no. Make sure you bring the right moisturizer to continue hydrating your skin outdoors.
According to Real Simple, Coast to Coast's Coastal Lightweight Moisture Lotion -- while hitting about $30 per 50ml container -- is useful for those with sensitive skin. The lotion is ideal for long-term stays under the sun, likely frolicking along the beach sides. The beauty website says the product contains aloe and lavender that help keep the skin healthy and beautifully consistent.
Another moisturizer recommended by Real Simple is the Origins Balanced Diet Lightweight Moisture Lotion. Focused primarily on hydration, the product uses wheat and soy nutrients. Unlike other moisturizers, it hydrates and only keeps oil under "true" control -- some moisturizers could wash away oil, which is essential for skin smoothness. A bit pricey at $28.
Olay will always make it into the list of greatest moisturizers and the Olay Complete All Day Facial Moisturizer offers beachgoers amazing sunscreen with SPF15 that could last the entire afternoon. Similar to Coast to Coast's product, Olay's moisturizer has aloe to help keep skin healthy, but is cheaper at $6.94, according to Marie Claire.
For a 50ml bottle, Neutrogena's Oil-Free Moisture also offers SPF15 for all-day beach bumming while soaking up some heat. The limit is about 12 hours, but one could possibly put on more moisturizer after a few hours -- also the sun is only up for less than the said amount of time. Fairly affordable for $10 for a 50ml container.
Lastly, a bit in the middle of everything price-wise, the CO Bigelow All-In-One Protective Day Lotion with SPF 25 focuses on three things: HealthySkin, Skin Renewal and Anti-Pollution, or so it says in each bottle. Intended for everyday use, it also works effectively beach side. It will set you back a bit over $20.
