27 Things To Make Daily Sunscreen Application Easier

27 Things To Make Daily Sunscreen Application Easier

Buzz Feed17-07-2025
First off, if you any questions about SPF, check out our sunscreen Q&A with dermatologists. But if you're too impatient to read that, know that 1) you should aim for SPF 30 or higher 2) no one is safe from sun exposure — even if you have melanated skin and 3) SPF has expiration dates so be sure to check it before you slather it on for the day.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Moisturizing Water Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 glides on and soaks in without leaving behind a greasy feel. Yes, you KNOW you need to wear sunscreen, but you have oily skin and sometimes you skip for texture reasons. Here's your solution.
And its cousin, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Face Moisturizer, also has SPF 50 to protect from UV rays and keep your skin (looking and feeling) in top-top shape. Plus, it's fragrance free so it can play nice with sensitive skin.
Colorescience Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 is a splurgey investment that just might completely replace foundation in your daily routine. (It has for one of our writers!) And it giving tinted coverage is *also* a good thing because you can tell where you put it and where you didn't. No more random little slivers of sunburned cheek!
And if you're into tinted protection, also consider La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF 40 Tinted Sunscreen. This is tinted enough (while blending beautifully!) to give you coverage on both fronts. I've used this in several locales, including during a July vacation in Grand Cayman when it stayed PUT even though I all but ate and slept in the saltwater pool.
A set of sunscreen reminder stickers pair well with your body sunscreen so there's someone besides you and your pal who're wading in the waves to remind you that, uh, yes, you do need to reapply! Oh and they last for 12 hours. Once a sticker turns colors, it's time to reapply.
Vacation Classic Whip SPF 30 is a fun sunscreen you'll want to reapply even before it's time! Oh and it'll also remind you that your pal owes you an ice-cream sundae.
A SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar is a quick K-beauty sun fix you can safely throw in your bag and then reapply on the go. It has a slightly curved bar for easier application (like in the GIF!) and matte effect, and won't leave a white cast in its wake.
And if you're sold on a solid SPF, this Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen really sticks to your skin on your tropical (or just plain sweaty) vacation. Oh, and because it's a solid, it's carry-on friendly! (I love to keep this in my purse all the time.)
Lanolips SPF 30 lip balm gives you a nice, light, pineapple-y treat so you don't end up with fried lips. Your lips needs sunscreen too! But with this, it doesn't taste like you're wearing sunscreen.
Coppertone Glow with Shimmer Sunscreen Spray in SPF 30 gives you that been-outside-all-summer glow — even if the most light you've basked in has been the light of your phone three mere inches from your face as you scroll through TikTok at 3 a.m.
A refillable sunscreen sponge applicator with a rollerball inside makes reapplication SO much easier. Even for your family members (especially kids!) who always complain later after they avoided reapplication OR "reapplied" but somehow still have an extremely sunburnt stomach.
Black Girl Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 beloved by reviewers with melanated skin for good reason. It rubs in (like, actually rubs in) and doesn't leave any ashy white effect.
Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 comes in a two-pack so you can know you'll be covered without FEELING like you're covered in greasy sun protection. Have you even SEEN how expensive aerosol sunscreens are in drugstores lately? True highway robbery.
Milani Make It Last Sunscreen Setting Spray / Primer with SPF 30 helps you combine three beauty products into one...and make your makeup waterproof for up to 16 hours. After all, if you're going to bother putting on makeup during the blistering heat of summer, you might as well make sure it stays PUT.
If you're feeling splurgey, Kopari Sun Shield Body Glow Gel SPF 45 delivers on some major glitz while blocking the sun's harmful rays. In case you've always thought, "I love how people look all glowy while oiled up!" but have gone for traditional SPF for obvious reasons, here's your sign to try this.
A sand removal bag filled with talc-free, reef-friendly powder brushes off the scratchy stuff when it's time to reapply your sunscreen. Exfoliation scrubbing is happening LATER in the shower, not in between SPF layers on the beach, OK? Also, it'll be fab when it's time to leave the beach and you don't want to track a bucket's worth of sand into your car.
Sun Bum SPF 30 Scalp and Hair Mist makes sure that your precious hair part doesn't get burned while you're doing whatever you're doing outdoors. This also doesn't turn your roots or scalp a different color!
Or if your scalp is a bit oily, Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush covers your face like a setting powder on top of makeup, but reviewers especially love it for scalp coverage. They also call out that it's a cheaper alt for both the $35 Supergoop and $36 Brush On Block!
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Moisturizing Face SPF 60 Serum, which reviewers ADORE as a priming moisturizer. Because sometimes, when you're doing a full face and your SPF isn't built into another product, even the BEST sunscreen users can forget it! Oh, and there's zero white cast!
Vacation Chardonnay *Plumping* Lip Oil SPF 30 provides some intense moisture in a yummy caramel-vanilla flavor because maybe your signature red lipstick has zero SPF in it. Layer this on!
Or if you want some more *clear* protection Black Girl Sunscreen's Make It Pop Sungloss with SPF 50 works beautifully on bare lips or on top of another color.
Naked Sundays SPF 50 Glow + Go Lip Oil in watermelon swipes on so quick and easy — whether or not you wear it solo or layer on top of lip liner.
CeraVe Tinted Sunscreen with SPF 30 is a sheer formula to make you glow without feeling like you put on an extra layer or drying you out. Because sometimes you forgo SPF because it doesn't blend in so great. Enter: this.
Kate Somerville Soft Focus Makeup Setting Spray that — ya' guessed it — has SPF 50 in it for when you've got a full face for your boat day and don't wanna layer a sunscreen with a cast on top of your look. And it smells really nice!
Dr. Loretta SPF 40 Urban Antioxidant Sunscreen layers RIDICULOUSLY well under a full face of makeup WITHOUT any pilling (which apparently is still a big ask in 2025)?! And it has a lovely pearlescent sheen for anyone who loves highlighter.
An 18-ounce jug of Supergoop Everyday SPF 50 Lotion in an obvious-enough size and shape that you can park by your door as a reminder to apply before you leave your home. Oh, and there's no white cast!
Mixsoon Bean SPF 50 Sunscreen has an "airy" texture in case you're in the nongreasy sunscreen camp. (Aren't we all?) If you're looking for something that works well with a full face of makeup, this might just be it!

45 Cool Products That Are Just Ittttching To Be In Your Cart

Neutrogena's brand new Collagen Bank Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF 30, which is so good at its job that it is doing double duty as skin protection *and* skincare in one bottle. In other words, you can slather it on in the morning as a one-step reliable beauty routine and know that you're keeping your skin safe from day to day and helping brighten your complexion in the longterm. Bonus: This is so lightweight that it functions as a perfect base primer for makeup! E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the "Ecstatic" shade, which reviewers say captures the same magic as "Black Honey," the $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique that's blowing up on TikTok at a fraction of the price. It doesn't shift colors as magically as the other version, but it's a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lip to stay hydrated all day long. Olay Super Serum Body Wash that will make anyone with dry or dull skin REJOICE — this is packed with niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides to nourish your skin for 24-hour hydration that will make you feel ~luminous~. (Psst — this is the body wash version of their TikTok-famous, super effective facial Super Serum, so you KNOW they mean business.) Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail — now in four shades! — for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference. A pair of lightweight, entirely waterproof cloud pillow slippers for anyone whose feet are pretty little princesses who need to be pampered at all times. These are near weightless, but have a cushioned, thick sole that absorbs impact on hard floors and surfaces. Reviewers with arthritis and plantar fasciitis also swear by these for alleviating foot pain! A NeeDoh Gummy Bear, another new release from the *elite* Needoh sensory fidget toy line. This one features a jelly-like filling with an oh-so-satisfying squuuiiiiiish factor that will make it your favorite lil' glob in no time. Aloderma Organic Aloe Vera Gel for your WHOLE body — this packs such an "all-purpose" moisturizing, skin-calming punch that reviewers swear by it for everything from healing cracked, dry skin to helping calm rosacea and sunburns to tackling dandruff that even prescription meds wouldn't touch. GO LITTLE MOISTURIZER GO!! E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. An airtight Deli ProKeeper so beloved that it's gone viral on FridgeTok (if you know, you KNOW). Not only does this free up space and clutter in the fridge, but it keeps deli meat and cheese so fresh that you'll actually get your darn money's worth by preventing waste. Deeptalk, a compact three-year prompted gratitude journal loaded with quick, gentle check-in prompts that won't overwhelm you like a lot of other journals. It's undated, so you can start it any day you want, and then as the years pass you can reflect on how your mindsets are changing and evolving over time. A TikTok-beloved "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation, which lives up to its name and THEN some — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use. Murdle, Volume 1, a true essential for anyone who relaxes to true crime podcasts or Only Murders in the Building. The book is full of 100 mystery-themed logic puzzles with four different levels of difficulty that they can do solo or with pals, and in order or out of order (although if they do it in order, they get the full scoop on Deductive Logico and Inspector Irratino, whose hilarious misadventures guide you through the book). A set of delightfully ~~tingly~~ self-heating soothing foot masks made with Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint perfect for anyone whose recent step count is "too many." Nothing like a lil' self-care on those aching feet to lift your spirits! Lumify Eye Drops, a product so beloved by TikTok that despite being more $$ than other brands, it's the number one selling brand on Amazon right now. Reviewers swear by this for instant reduction in redness in their eyes, with visible differences within a minute of use. A dimmable flexible clip-on mushroom light so versatile that it'll become your Emotional Support Shroom — this gizmo clips to desks, cribs, bedside tables, and computer monitors to give an ambient, soft glow that's easy on the eyeballs when you're trying to focus. (Also, it's just so darn precious??) A deliciously soothing, super gentle Briotech spray reviewers compare to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray. It's similarly designed with hypochlorous acid, which targets bacteria that causes acne, skin irritation, and blemishes *without* drying your skin. Reviewers swear by this handy little spray for helping not just with acne, but rosacea, eczema, dryness, dermatitis (scalp included!), and even toenail fungus. A mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit for anyone on their "happy accidents" beat — this itty bitty set comes with everything you need to create three tiny masterpieces of your very own. Oxo's new compact Brew Rapid Brewer, aka the answer to any money-conscious coffee lover's prayers — this version is not only cheaper and more portable than comparable models on the market, but WAY faster at making cold brew without compromising on flavor. I'm talking five minutes as opposed to overnight, like other pitchers take — and it doesn't need to be charged or plugged in. 🤯 A set of soft silicone sensory-friendly worry stones that are perfect for busy days, since they are so portable, quiet, and unobtrusive. Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre, an iconic Parisian staple so versatile that it functions as a moisturizer, primer, and makeup remover so beloved that reviewers (and makeup professionals!) of all ages swear by it. In fact, some are so loyal that they won't use any other brand (including one who has been using it for FORTY YEARS)!! A pair of leakproof period "Cloudfeel" boyshorts designed to hold up to 12 (!!) tampons worth of period blood, giving you tons of protection on heavier flow days or overnight. Reviewers love how ultra soft and comfortable the fabric feels — not to mention the money it saves on disposable period products! Londontown "Nail Veil" Protectant, which is designed not only to protect your nails, but to act as a sheer tint to enhance their natural look. It's basically "no makeup makeup," but for your fingernails. A hair identifier spray to make shaving or dermaplaning *that* much more efficient — this not only highlights where your hair is so you don't miss a spot, but also moisturizes and protects skin while you're shaving. This is also a great way to ensure you aren't *over*-shaving areas, since you'll know right away if the hair is taken care of! A pair of ~dreamlux~ leggings made with an oh-so-buttery soft material reviewers compare to Lululemon's Align ... but WAY cheaper. If you're looking for a reliably squatproof, comfy, compressive legging, look no further than these. Pocket World, a stress relief coloring book for adults full of whimsical miniature Polly Pocket-esque worlds to color, with no two alike. I'm talking fairy gardens, tiny hygge-style living rooms, quirky restaurants, and more. And a set of six tiny Tabasco sauces you can easily slide into a purse, pocket, or truly any nook or cranny at your disposal. Hot sauce emergencies are REAL, and with these in your arsenal, you can be the hero that everyone deserves. Elizabeth Mott's Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask that's like, "Skincare, but make it a silly goofy fun time." This charcoal mask helps to deep cleanse pores and gently exfoliate so you're left feeling radiant and ~refreshed~, but it also foams up and turns your face into a puffy storm cloud for maximum shenanigans. Anua Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner reviewers going for the "glass skin" look swear by — this subtle impactful toner helps calm and refresh your complexion by balancing your skin's pH level and helping it better absorb all your lovely skincare products, no matter how hard the sun is trying to dry you out. A pair of elevated, effortlessly chic wide leg petal sweatpants that look like they fell out of an Anthropologie ad. Reviewers love how cozy and breathable these are, and that the style is perfect for indoor lounging *and* outdoor errands. A ballpoint pen oil diffuser that emits a calming scent as you write with it, which may just be the key to stopping all the "adkfjgalkdgjal" in your brain when you're trying to study or write extensive to-do lists. A wildly impressive handled BrüMate tumbler designed with a completely leakproof straw lid that might be actual witchcraft, and ~BevGuard insulation~ that will keep drinks ice cold for over 24 hours. Finally, a ginormous emotional support tumbler that not only fits in your car's cup holder, but can get tossed into your bag worry-free! Sprayway Glass Cleaner, a reviewer-beloved cleaning staple that did *not* come here to play. This streak-free, fast-acting foam is so effective at cleaning surfaces that a lot of businesses and offices swear by it for that oh-so-squeaky-clean look. A "holy grail" Coop Home Goods pillow designed for side, back, *and* stomach sleepers to get the best shut-eye of their lives. This medium-firm pillow has an entirely adjustable memory foam fill so you can mold it to the exact firmness, size, and shape you need. In other words: this is the One Pillow that will serve you well for a long, long time. A pleated skirt and vest set you can mix and match or wear together for an effortless, cheeky twist on a traditional 'fit. It's giving sophisticated whimsy with a touch of "yeah, I played tennis in high school." A Benzene-free, travel-friendly applicator of I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder so easy to use that you can just dab it on your hairline and rub it in for an instant, oil-absorbing refresh. Now your "no wash" days are a secret that you and your roots will never tell 👀. A set of Slop Tart sponges to make every Pop-Tart-loving '90s baby love doing the dishes so much that they'll start fighting over who gets to do them. These also make top notch quirky kitchen decor to brighten your space! A set of crease-preventing spiral hair ties that not only give your pony that delightful ~oomph~ to elevate it, but stay locked in place. They're also waterproof, which makes them great for exercise (as much as we all love a soggy hair tie on our wrist post-workout 🫠). Boka Travel-Size Mouthwash Tablets to quickly freshen breath and eliminate lingering odors when you're on the move. These fluoride- and alcohol-free tables are made with hydroxapatite to help strip your teeth of microbes without the whole song and dance of regular rinse-out mouthwash. An iPhone 14 Pro Max privacy phone screen protector with some real "XOXO, Gossip Girl" vibes — when you tilt this gradient tempered glass protector, nobody will be able to snoop on what TikToks you're watching (or catch you texting your situationship mid-drinks 😬). A self-cleaning electric toilet brush to go full YEE! HAWWWW! on the grime in your toilet bowl. If you're dealing with hard water stains, this is an excellent way to get the toilet bowl sparkling again without having to scrub hard. When you put it away, the base will light up blue to let you know it's sanitizing the brush! An anti-theft "sock wallet" that laughs in the face of pickpockets who think you left your valuables in your shorts like a common tourist. These are also made with breathable, lightly cushioned, blister-preventive material so you can run and bike in them with ease! A set of square stemmed wineglasses inspired by the iconic Crate & Barrel version, except these are durable as heck (good for particularly rowdy wine-and-cheese nights). Reviewers especially love these chic, understated glasses because they work well for red and white wines. A laundry soap station that will help organize your space *and* serve as a handy drip tray for your detergent, so you don't have to lug that jumbo container like a lumberjack every time you need to squeeze a few suds out for a load. This also helps ensure you get every last drop out of the container! Moodmatcher color-changing lipstick, which not only adapts to the pH of your skin to create a personalized, perfect shade for your skin tone, but lasts for HOURS. Reviewers marvel at its all-day staying power, even after meals and breaking a sweat. Look at that lil' green lipstick go!!

39 Must-Have Items For Your Next Boating Trip

A 2-in-1 nausea relief inhaler you can even slip into your day bag or shorts pocket in case you start feeling a bit whoozy. Reviewers say it helps with random nausea, motion sickness, morning sickness, and just feeling quite a bit icky. Simply inhale it or rub it on the tip of your nose to enjoy the "I'm feeling better" benefits. A set of Sea Bands with a little nub that targets the acupupressure point on your wrists meant to help reduce nausea. This'll be great in case you get sea sick. A SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar for a K-beauty sun fix you can safely throw in your bag and then reapply on the go. Listen, I looooove an aerosol SPF but it isn't exactly moving-boat friendly because it can get everywhere but on you. This is a great, matte alt for your face — minus any white cast. Plus, a *solid* Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen that'll really stick to your skin on your next boat excursion without getting it on everyone else but you. Oh, and because it's a solid, it's carry-on–friendly! (I love to keep this in my purse all the time.) A UPF 50 quick-dry long-sleeve swim top if your shoulders always ALWAYS get fried on the water. Pull on this cute top and it won't be an issue! And if you prefer a little more coverage, some UPF 50+ swim capris built to help you jump some waves and engage in some serious seashell-hunting activities. A refillable sunscreen sponge applicator with a rollerball inside that'll make lotion reapplication SO much easier. Even for your family members who always complain later after they avoided reapplication OR "reapplied" but somehow still have an extremely sunburnt stomach. A roomy beach bag with a waterproof section where you can stick your phone, Kindle, and other items that ABSOLUTELY cannot get wet. AND it'll have plenty of room for your sunscreen and sun hat. (Your beloved cotton tote won't suffice.) A waterproof pouch to throw your phone in before you even step NEAR a boat. I bring these on all my beach vacations and have taken some really cool underwater videos. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers that'll pair with your body sunscreen so there's someone besides you and your pal who're wading in the waves to remind you that, uh, yes, you do need to reapply! Oh and they last for 12 hours. Once a sticker turns colors, it's time to reapply. A reusable sand eraser can easily dust off all that stuff stuck to you when you're finally being dragged away from your beach excursion. Now you won't have to worry about building sand castles in your cruise cabin shower. A portable safe to help keep your personal belongings safe and sound on board the day-cruise boat while you're treading water nearby in a bluer-than-blue body of water. It also secures beautifully to beach or boat chairs! Collapsible travel hangers will really up the organization in a cruise ship cabin closet — as I discovered on my first-ever cruise back over New Year's. The ship only provides so many hangers. An *very popular* off-the-shoulder jumpsuit suited for just about any sightseeing needs. But it'd also make the perfect outfit for a cruise departure party because you won't have to worry about flashing anyone! Or perhaps a Lululemon-inspired tennis skirt with built-in shorts and a secret inner pocket in case your boat plans include a non-negotiable top (looking at you, college pal who got pulled into a bachelorette with matching shirts). You can easily keep your phone and lip balm in said pocket while retrieving a drink for the bride. Or a pair of high-waisted quick-dry running shorts to help you fare through crashing waves, sprays, and cannonball blasts. Now you'll just have to worry about getting your sea legs. Plus, a Burt's Bees sunburn soother because sometimes the family will get burnt from some fun in the sun — even if you've been on VERY strict sunscreen patrol. Its aloe vera and coconut oil formula is super gentle on skin while helping relieve pain, redness, and swelling. A CarryAround foldable cup holder you'll think you're a dang genius for buying (and you'd be right) after you easily carry back four beers from the pool snack bar in one hand. It'd also be smart to pack this for your next all-inclusive vacation. A two-pack of beach wraps to help you style your beloved bikini you bought who-knows-when in between dips in the lake or ocean. A compact eight-compartment pill organizer so you'll have space for all the stuff you take after you went a little too hard at the all-you-can-eat buffets because you WILL eat your money's worth on this cruise! A set of three Cadence containers that are magnetized and can stick together in your toiletries bag. They're super sturdy, leak-proof, and even work great for a few days' worth of vitamins or holding small jewelry. They've quickly become one of my packing go-tos. But the real kicker here is that they'll also stick to your magnetized cabin bathroom walls! A set of towel clips you'll be grateful you packed to stake claim on a pool chair and then later keep your drying swimwear attached to your cabin's balcony chair. Or a four-pack of towel bands can take up next to no room in your bag but still help you stake out your deck chair without your towel whipping around in the wind. They'll also come in handy at the beach, pool, resort, or wherever! Neutrogena Dry-Touch SPF 70 Sunscreen because having a backup sunscreen is ALWAYS a good idea and this formula is designed to be matte and quick-absorbing. Plus, it's fine for your face and body! A bag Liquid I.V. electrolyte drink mix that I can attest actually does capture that nostalgic, sweet flavor of a firecracker popsicle you always got at the gas station or ice cream truck! Slip a few of these into your bag to help guard against that moment that you realize you've had several rounds of rum punch and nary a sip of water today. Just dump one in a bottle of water, shake, and rehydrate. A *foldable* wide-brim hat for helping you keep the sun off of your face, make your outfits look even cuter, and easily fit in your bag without crushing it. Sometimes you realize you need a hat once the boat has left the dock. A doggy life jacket for your dog who loves a lake day as much as you do. Obviously, this is a safety thing and helps you keep tabs on 'em. BUT it's also a great excuse to make all kinds of Jaws dad jokes and remind everyone in your life that the mayor in Jaws was still the mayor after all THAT happened. Register to vote!!!! A 4-in-1 floatable hammock that'll help you skip to the good part of supported floating in the cool(er) lake water or in a cove on an excursion. Novelty floats are fun but wow are they a pain to get on while other people are nearby. A *universal* drink handle you can slip onto whatever water bottle happens to be clean this morn so you don't have to rob yourself of precious boat time just to wash out the Stanley Cup with the handle. Cruise passengers also love them for all-you-can-drink ship cups! And speaking of a boat day, some silicone can covers that'll make your Natty Lite look like a Coke Zero while you're playing Passenger Princess. (Obviously, you're not drinking and driving the boat, though!) But you may wanna warn your pals ahead of time before your boat day because everyone KNOWS you're a Diet Coke girly. An underwater "treasure hunt" pool diving game if you've got some skilled swimmers in the fam who love to opine "I'm bored" after you're at the ship's pool for an hour or so. It even comes with an erasable scoreboard so things can get a little competitive during this secretly educational activity. A fanny pack with a ton of storage room inside that has a long enough strap to wear crossbody *or* comfortably fit over outerwear for some hands-free adventures. And in case it looks familiar, TikTokers compare it to the Lulu waist bag. Plus, it's cute enough to wear for fashion and you can pack one fewer bag as a result. A set of waterproof "wet bags" that'll fold up SO tiny but will be a HUGE help in case you decide to take a dip at the beach and don't want to keep wearing your wet swimsuit for the rest of your boat day. A 10 x 9-foot sand-free beach blanket made so sand will roll right off of it. Plus it's big enough to help you lay claim to a good amount of beach space for you and your pals (up to seven adults)! It packs up pretty small so it's a great bet to throw in your cruise excursion bag! A hands-free bladeless personal fan you can wear as the most useful neck jewelry ever. Reviewers have donned it on cruises and short catamaran rides alike because sometimes, even when you're on the water, that breeze just isn't enough. A pack of waterproof playing cards to withstand some tense games at the beach, pool, lake, boat, wherever! What a great option for when everyone gets tired out from water games and come under the shade for some respite from the sun. A stick of Gold Bond Friction Defense that'll stop chafing caused by sweat before it even starts. It's sooo good and better than any other competitor in the thigh-saving category. Throw this in your beach bag to apply before those long cruise deck strolls. Or if you like a physical barrier for your thighs, some Shapermint mesh shaper shorts I recently wore on nonbeach cruise excursions and just out and about on the ship so I could concentrate on how many lattes I needed to order to polish off my nonrefundable bar tab. A pair of quick-dry water shoes to help you traverse nearly every kind of ground you may come upon — especially if the excursion beaches are rocky or you prefer to wear shoes in the pool.
