It’s summer time and the beach is the place to be! Invitations from friends to a beach party means knowing how to prepare to look good and well put together. So what are some things to consider when preparing to attend a beach party?
Skin care, make up and hair
A beach party means sun and sand, and it is important to make sure you have excellent UV protection in order to protect your skin from the sun’s harsh rays. If you wear makeup, it is best to use a makeup with a built in UV protection and apply as needed during the day.
Make sure your hair is protected from drying out and you have a good conditioner to use after swimming and being in the sun. A cap or hat is a great idea to protect your face and neck from the sun to avoid burning and causing sun damage to your skin.
Preparation is always better when it comes to looking good, so prior to the beach party, possibly the day before if possible, you can schedule a wax to remove unsightly leg hair and bikini area hair.
Another option if you don’t have enough time to schedule a salon date, is to use a razor at home to remove underarm and leg hair without leaving an unsightly rash or bumps on the skin. Make sure the skin is exfoliated and smooth and use a good quality moisturiser on the skin to ensure it looks at its best.
For the bikini area, a razor removal is not the best choice as this delicate area is prone to bumps and irritation, which is not a good look. A better idea is to choose a best bikini trimmer for sensitive skin to remove the excess under the bikini line, and a decent quality bikini den epilator to remove the hair on the outer edge of the bikini line, for a smoother and less uncomfortable effect.
Follow up all hair removal with after-care. Cool the skin down with a cooling moisturiser as well as using a cloth dipped in cool water to remove the immediate inflammation after the hair removal treatments.
Make sure that you have your sunglasses, hat and perhaps a swimsuit cover in your bag.
Pack one or two sets of clothing to change into as you will probably not be in your swim suit the whole day and sometimes evenings can be a bit cooler. Bring your basic make up to touch up if you are planning to wear makeup during the party.
