23 Things To Help You Hide From The Sun
A UPF 50 beach tent to create a lil' den-like area for the sun-fearing beachgoers among us. It has room for up to 10 people (depending on what size you get), folds up nicely for easy traveling, and promises not to easily blow away in the wind like some umbrellas I know. 😒 Pleated paper shades if you find that the sun is waking up way before you. This affordable solution is easy to apply (just trim, peel, stick) and comes with clips to raise or lower them. A bottle of Coppertone shimmering sunscreen offering just a subtle sprinkle of glitter, meaning people might briefly mistake you for a vampire. Plus, the SPF 50 will ensure you just sparkle like a Twilight vampire instead of burn like a True Blood one. A packable floppy hat that'll keep your face shaded (with UPF 50!), yes, but more importantly, it will make you feel posh and dramatic while walking on the boardwalk and looking out at the ocean. Or a large-brimmed visor if you want to give your head some breathing room. The extra-long brim offers supreme coverage and is made with anti-UV, UPF 50+ material. Let's see the sun get through that! A beach chair with a built-in canopy so you don't have to constantly readjust your seat every time the sun sneaks past the umbrella. The chair comes with two cup holders, can hold up to 350 pounds, offers 50+ UPF protection, and folds up neatly in a 14-pound parcel for easy traveling. A car windshield sunshade to keep your car from becoming hotter than the center of the earth. Please! No more scorched thighs this summer. A laptop tent because sun glare is the number one reason why we're not all working from beach. The reflective fabric creates a little dark room for your computer to prevent overheating and sun glare. Now you can actually see the email you're writing and not accidentally type, "Best regrads." A leafy lounger float with a built-in shade for anyone who feels like a sitting duck (ready for the oven) whenever they're trying to relax at the pool. There are even cup holders in case you want to bring some sunscreen on your maiden voyage. A pair of round polarized sunglasses because if you're going to have to brave the summer heat and strong sun, you might as well look cool while doing it. Or a pair of retro-inspired sunglasses you definitely need for the beginning of summer. They provide UV400 protection to properly protect your eyes from the ever-intensifying sunlight. A baby beach tent with a built-in pool so you can keep your little one shaded and bring the ocean to them. Now your baby can splash to their heart's content, and you can stay shaded and cool under your own umbrella. A handy sports umbrella you can clip onto your chair for some personal shade, since it's unlikely you'll find someone to follow you around with an umbrella any time soon. Plus, the long shape is designed to ensure your whole body gets covered. A dermatologist-recommended tinted sunscreen with SPF 41 so you can take on the day without fear of burning your delicate face to a crisp (so long as you reapply!). It's fragrance free, lightweight, perfect for people with sensitive skin, and boasts 11,400+ 5-star ratings. Or Beekman 1802's Solar Milk boasting SPF 50 that goes on 100% transparently. The goat milk-infused gel will feel so silky-smooth on your face, you'll almost forget it's there. A high ponytail baseball hat because I would never want you to have to sacrifice a cute hairstyle for the sake of shade. The discreet slot closes when not in use, so you can wear it normally as well. A cabana-style umbrella offering plenty of shade for your next beach trip. It comes with cloth corners you fill with sand to weigh down the umbrella, so you don't have to worry about it blowing away in the wind. Beach trips are supposed to be stress-free, after all. Or a Shibumi wind-blown sun blocker that sails with as little as a 3-mph breeze, providing much-needed shade for up to six people. Since it's designed to float through the air, it's flexible and won't blow away or fall over. Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush offering some light coverage (and extra sun protection on top of your normal sunscreen) that won't weigh you down on hot days. Most intriguing: Reviewers are using this on their scalp and hairline because YES scalp burns can happen and NO we're not putting goopy sunscreen in our hair. It's also wayyy cheaper than the $69 Colorescience version. A set of special stickers that tell you when it's time to reapply sunscreen. Cover it (and your skin, of course) with sunscreen, and the sticker will turn clear. When it turns purple, you know it's time for another generous coating of sun protection. A "beach blouse" for anyone looking for a versatile cover-up that hides your delicate shoulders from the sun. It's lightweight and so effortlessly chic, you could easily wear it off the sand as well! A canopy that provides shade without trapping in hot air and turning your otherwise pleasant patio into a sweatbox. It comes in a ton of different sizes, and reviewers say it's easy to install. Or a triangular sail you can layer up to create a breezy backyard-of-a-brewery-type vibe. Stay cool out there! Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
