Start planning for that much-needed getaway
Tips and must-have products to ensure your spring break is nothing short of perfect
Spring break is just around the corner, and it's time to start planning for that much-needed getaway. Whether you're hitting the beach, exploring a new city, or enjoying a staycation, having the right essentials can make all the difference. Here are our top tips and must-have products to ensure your spring break is nothing short of perfect.
1. Sun Protection
The most crucial item for any spring break adventure is sun protection. Protect your skin from harmful UV rays with a high-quality sunscreen. Look for broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to shield your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. Don’t forget to reapply every two hours, especially if you’re swimming or sweating.
Product Recommendation: Coral SPF 30 Lotion – This lightweight formula is designed to preserve your sunless tan with a silky sheer finish. It's broad spectrum and shields your skin from the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays. Plus, it’s reef friendly with a tropical scent. Paraben and cruelty-free.
Directions:
Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure
Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating
Reapply every 2 hours or immediately after towel drying
A friendly reminder: Products that contain DHA do not protect against UVA/UVB rays. It is recommended that an SPF be applied daily. Regular use of a Broad Spectrum SPF will decrease the likelihood of skin aging and skin cancer.
Product Recommendation: Luxury Waterproof Mascara – Not only will this mascara withstand the water, but it also provides a beautiful lift to your lashes, perfect for those beach selfies.
2. Moisturizer
Keeping your skin hydrated is essential, especially after a day in the sun. Opt for a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer that will keep your skin feeling fresh and hydrated without clogging your pores.
Product Recommendation: Moorea Moisturizer – This blend of native ingredients and creamy, organic Shea Butter leaves your skin feeling ultra-smooth and relaxed.
3. Self-Tanning Products
Get that sun-kissed glow without the harmful effects of UV exposure. Our self-tanning products provide a natural-looking tan that will make you look like you just came back from a tropical paradise.
Product Recommendation: Sea Foam Tanning Mousse – With its rich brown tint and olive brown undertone, this mousse offers an easy application and instant gratification. It dries immediately, leaving no sticky residue.
4. Hydrating Lip Care
Your lips need protection too! A good lip balm with SPF will keep your lips soft and protected from the sun. For a touch of color, choose a tinted lip balm or lipstick that includes moisturizing ingredients.
Product Recommendation: Vinyl Lacquer – This gloss provides a high-shine finish and intense hydration, making your lips look luscious and feel soft.
5. Travel-Friendly Makeup
When you're on the go, you need makeup that's easy to apply and lasts all day. Choose multi-purpose products that can serve more than one function, saving space in your travel bag.
Product Recommendation: Lip & Cheek Cream – This versatile product adds a pop of color to both your lips and cheeks, perfect for a quick and easy beauty routine.
6. After-Sun Care
After a long day in the sun, your skin needs some TLC. Use products that soothe and repair sun-exposed skin, helping to prevent peeling and prolong your tan.
Product Recommendation: Moorea Moisturizer – This moisturizer is perfect for soothing and hydrating your skin after sun exposure, leaving it feeling healthy and smooth.
7. Stay Refreshed
Don’t forget to stay hydrated! Drinking plenty of water throughout the day keeps your skin looking radiant and your body feeling energized.
