How to Look Your Best at the Beach

Posted by Sally Wilkinson on November 26th, 2016

If you haven’t hit the beach in a while, you may be wondering what you can do to his the sun and sands with a bit of a bang. It is natural that you probably want to look and feel your best, and if you’ve been couped up in the house for some time, you might need a couple of tricks up your sleeve. Chances are, you’ve been invited to hit the beach with your friends, so how are you going to look your most stunning? Here are a few things you can do.

Get a New Wardrobe

A little wardrobe update is essential. Don’t go to the beach in last year’s swimsuit and an old shirt. Instead, get your style on and buy a new bikini or one-piece swimsuit and some Turkish towels to match. This is a nice way to set yourself apart from everyone else, who will probably be in shorts and a blouse. All you need to do is wrap one of these large towels around in a fashionable manner. There are plenty of different styles you can achieve just with how you tie the towel.

Rehydrate

If winter is just finishing up or even if it’s the middle of summer, your body may be more dehydrated than you realise. This dehydration can show quite a bit on the skin and in your hair. This is why you should make sure that you drink lots of water, and that you start moisturising right away and using a good conditioner for your hair. Try to get a moisturiser with a sunscreen in it. This way you will always be protected from harmful UV rays and keeping your skin firm and supple.

Get a Makeover

If you feel like doing something a little different, why not hit the salon? A beach party is a great occasion to try out a new look. It’s also a great way to get noticed amongst all the other people. Take the opportunity at the salon to get your nails done, a waxing, and perhaps a facial to make your skin look flawless. A totally different hair cut might also turn heads when your friends see you after a long time.

Get a Fake Tan

If you are on the paler side, then having been at home for weeks won’t have helped. There’s no harm in getting a bit of a fake tan to look bronze and beautiful as soon as you hit the beach. Be careful that you don’t overdo it, because then it will be noticeably fake. A light tan is more than enough to give you a healthy looking, natural glow.

Hit the Gym

Have you had a few holidays?Then you’ve probably also had a few extra meals. Especially around December, people tend to feast a little extra and then feel guilty about putting on some unnecessary weight. If you’re one of those people, then you might want to hit the gym sooner rather than later. There’s no harm in putting on some weight, but you shouldn’t be unfit, especially if you’re hoping to run around at the beach. So workout and get healthy.

These are just a few ways that you can look good for hitting the beach. Try them and see for yourself.
