Don't get caught short when you hit the sand this season

Enjoying a comfortable day at the pool or beach means packing the right things.

So if effortless salty tresses, dewy skin and a natural golden glow is order of the day, make sure you have all the essentials to hand.

Here's a few things we say you shouldn't be going anywhere without.

Haircare

There's a stark difference between flowing, salty tresses and a matted hair mess.

Use a spritz of Hask Coconut Oil 5-in-1 Leave-In Spray the minute you get out of the water and watch the coconut oil work its magic.

Comb it out to prevent your locks from feeling like straw. Goes without saying you need a brush or comb thrown in too!

Perfect eyes

A pool day is the perfect time to break out a waterproof version of your favourite mascara.

We say it's also best to pack a travel-sized bottle of micellar cleansing water, just in case you do find yourself dealing with any smudge emergencies.

The Kiss Envy Volume Defining mascara in black gives five times more volume and is 100 per cent waterproof.

Stick highlighter

Ever wondered how the celebs look illuminated in all the right places, all the time?

Toss a cream highlighter into your beach bag for quick touch-ups before you snap that beach selfie.

The Master Strobing Stick by Maybelline is a great shout for quick and easy application and comes in a variety of wonderful shades.

Hydrating mist

Dehydration is no joke when it comes to pool days. And we’re not only talking about remembering to drink water.

Keep your skin dewy, plump and hydrated with a good skin mist. You'll soon be best friends. A regular spritz over your SPF can safeguard your skin against moisture loss and just give your complexion the boost it needs as the day draws on.
