The spots people forget are the lips, the part line and the tops of the ears, so this grid is all small things that live in a tote bag. Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 has grapefruit and ginger with shea butter and avocado oil, and it is fragrance free. CAY SKIN Isle Lip Balm SPF 30 in Irie Rose has a vanilla brown sugar flavor and sea moss, with no SPF aftertaste according to the brand.

If you want color, ciele lip & PROTECT in Puzzle is a cool nude satin lipstick with mineral SPF 60+, and caliray Lipguard SPF 31 in Big Sur is a high-shine rosewood mauve gloss balm with non-nano zinc oxide.

For the face, Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Clear Stick SPF 60+ is invisible and made to reapply over or under makeup. innisfree Daily UV Invisible Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ PA++++ is water resistant, leaves no white cast and works on face and body.

How to use them: keep the stick in your pocket and swipe it on at the same moment you check the time, every two hours.

What I would skip: a sheer lip balm as your only lip protection during a long swim. Pick one with a higher SPF and reapply it after you dry off.

A beach day leaves your hair with its own opinions, and salt spray is how you agree with them. Bumble and bumble Surf Sea Salt Hair Wave Texturizing Spray is a matte finish spray for fine to medium hair, made with seaweed and kelp extracts. Bumble and bumble Surf Infusion is the softer cousin, a salt-in-oil formula for medium to thick hair that adds sheen and UV filters. Davines This Is A Sea Salt Spray gives volume, grit and a matte hold, and the brand says it is non-drying.

If salt makes your hair feel crunchy, go salt free. OUAI Texturizing Wave Spray is salt free and aims at frizz with hydration. JVN Complete Air Dry Volumizing Wave Spray is salt free, with UV color protection, and the brand says it adds soft waves without feeling crunchy or sticky. dae Hibiscus Wave Spray is a lightweight wave spray for soft waves on all hair types.

Oribe Aprés Beach Wave and Shine Spray adds moisture, shine and a lightweight hold, and Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray is an invisible dry spray that absorbs oil at the roots for lift.

Try it on damp hair: spray from mid-length to ends, scrunch, then let it dry in the air.

What I would skip: layering a heavy salt spray over a dry texturizer on the same day. Choose the wave spray for the ends and keep the dry spray for the roots.

Build the bag in three parts. Sun protection first: one lotion or spray for the body, one for the face, and a stick or lip balm with SPF that you can reach without digging. Recovery second: an aloe gel like the Sun Bum After Sun Cool Down Gel for the evening, kept in the fridge if you have one. Hair third, and only if you like hair with texture: a salt spray if your hair is fine and wants grit, a salt free wave spray if it tends to feel dry. Read each label for water resistance and how often to reapply, because that matters more than any shade or scent. Then go outside and actually enjoy the day.
