#2 Bel Essence Anti Wrinkle Cream

Bel Essence creates its products based on a simple principle – nutrition for the skin. Plant oils such as Argan, Hemp, Rice Bran, Avocado and others are rich in the vitamins, omega 3s, fatty acids and other nutrients important for healthy skin and a healthy body. These oils have been known for centuries for their healing and restoring properties, giving your skin what it needs to regenerate and rejuvenate itself to its best. Sun, sand and heat dry out and damage skin. Bel Essence deeply moisturizes, restoring hydration, and the nutrients in the oils help to reverse sun damage.

Bel Essence combines plant oils, all researched for their nutritional properties and combined to deliver the best nutrition to skin and hair, and give our bodies topical nutrition. The products are built from these oils, not a base of filler ingredients with oils sprinkled in. This is why the products enjoy 4+ star reviews – they are natural and organic, cruelty free certified, made in the US, paraben and sulfate free, and very effective in repairing and rejuvenating skin.

Add a few drops to your moisturizer or sunscreen to create a slight tint!

With a handful of bright and playful colors, these cream eyeshadows just scream summer! The intense pigments and fast-drying formula give any eye look a quick and beautiful pick-me-up.

Using a microfiber hair towel to dry your hair, such as VOLO Beauty’s VOLO Hero, helps decrease dry time by 50% and is gentler on your strands versus a normal bath or beach towel. The VOLO Hero is made with microfiber that is extremely absorbent and gentle, helping remove excess water while eliminating damage.

#17 Recova Tinted Arnica Cream

Recova’s Tinted Arnica Cream is a first-of-its-kind, all-natural cream developed to conceal bruising while healing. As a vascular physician, I developed Recova cream for patients after varicose vein treatments, who wanted to promote healing and reduce pain and inflammation. Then, patients in our clinic, which is located in Southern California, started using it to diminish bruising so they could show their legs on the beach. That led us to developing the worlds’ first Tinted Arnica Cream, which has 9 natural healing ingredients in a tinted color, to conceal bruising while promoting healing.

#18 Anastasia Beverly Hills

The Anastasia Brow Wiz does not come off in salt water or sand. I used it on my recent trip to the beach in South Padre Island, TX. I have also used this brow pencil every day for years! I haven’t found a better brow pencil. It never smudges and lasts me all day. I have sparse brows so this product makes me feel more attractive when I use it.
