What to Pack: The Beach Edition

This clever set has all your suncare needs covered – it features the brand's best-selling Expert Sun Protector Lotion and Face Cream for top-to-toe protection, plus the After Sun Intensive Recovery Emulsion to soothe and nourish skin after a day in the heat. It even comes with a handy beach-ready pouch, so you can doze off safe in the knowledge that your sunscreen won't suffer from a sand invasion.

The delicate skin on your lips is just as susceptible to the sun as the rest of your face, so don't skimp on SPF for the lips. This treatment combines broad-spectrum protection with nourishing plant extracts, so lips are nourished and hydrated throughout the day.

A miniature hairbrush is ideal for post-swim detangling or taming windswept strands. Reach for La Bonne Brosse's N.04 brush, which has soft fibres to reduce the risk of tugging and breakage. Plus, this limited-edition Lagoon Blue hue will perfectly complement your beachside aesthetic.

A quick hair-conditioning treatment is the perfect antidote to the damaging effects of chlorine or salt water. This leave-in mist from Gisou is powered by ceramides, milk protein and the brand’s Mirsalehi honey to nourish and repair brittle hair as well as leave a glossy finish. Simply apply to lengths and ends, brush through and let it work its magic.

For days that blend seamlessly from sun-drenched lounging to alfresco dinners, you'll need a versatile fragrance. Enter Cœur, the latest addition to YSL's Le Vestiaire des Parfums collection. Labdanum, iris butter, lavender and spice create an elegant amber-floral aroma that is luminous enough for daytime and sultry enough to carry you into the evening.

If your plans don't leave time for washing your hair post-beach, try a hair mist for a quick refresh. With notes of Turkish rose, soft vanilla and sparkling bergamot, Parfums de Marly's Delina hair mist has a beautifully airy summer scent that is perfectly suited to hazy summer days.

This skincare-suncare hybrid contains a cocktail of actives to help nourish skin as it protects. Find witch-hazel-leaf extract to help maintain elasticity and vitamin B3 to refine skin tone. The velvety finish doesn't clog pores and can be easily reapplied throughout the day. An ideal SPF for days spent in and out of the sun and sea.

A lip oil always has a place in any handbag, so why leave it out of your beach bag? Guerlain's KissKiss Bee Glow Plump Lip Oil combines lip-conditioning ingredients like squalane, hyaluronic acid and honey with a sheer pink tint. Layer it over your lip SPF for a plumped, shimmering pout.

For an added hit of summer glow, swipe on Victoria Beckham Beauty the Reflect Highlighter Stick. The mess-free format ensures no spills in your beach bag, plus it's fool-proof to use. Simply sweep over the high points of the face – collarbones and shoulders too – to catch gorgeous speckles of light.

Huda Beauty's Baby Blush Duo is the perfect effortless make-up touch-up for when you're nipping to the beach club for lunch and want to feel put together. Its compact size makes it easy to slip into your bag, while the lightweight formula blends seamlessly into skin. Apply with fingertips for a beautifully blurred flush.
