Its summer time again in the Philippines and the good news is, temperature is not as hot as last year, so for skin conscious out there, don’t worry about damaging your skin because this year temperature is just perfect, just right.
I can’t wait to have a vacation and jump to that saltwater and enjoy sunlight. I love going to beach, walking at the shore under the sun enjoying the salty breeze. I think once in a while we need a break from metro life and just enjoy tranquility somewhere far nice, right? We are lucky that the Philippines is made up of 7,100 islands in low tide and 7,107 islands in high tide that means beach over here is tremendously plenty and fabulous! And I hope I could go to that 7,107 island of the Philippines. Nice! So ambitious of me! Well who knows?
Ok, enough of my day dreaming, I listed below the must HAVE and some useful tips during summer vacation at a beach.
1.)Wear sun block at least with SPF 50 from head to toe, or if you are really so protective of your skin try Sunplay Super Block with SPF 130 PA++, it’s the highest SPF I’ve seen at Watsons and it cost aprox PHP300. Sun block is very important and it should be on top of the list. Buy sun block that have at least SPF 50 because lower SPF will not give enough skin protection, so if you don’t want to end up applying sun block over and over again, get sun block with the highest SPF.
For face, since make up is inappropriate in a beach and we don’t want our face to be shinny, before putting sun block on face, wash face first with oil control facial wash then use a toner afterwards, face will be less oily for hours. Best oil control I’ve used is Eskinol oil control facial scrub.
TIP: If time to reapply sun block, after applying to face, let it absorb in 1 to 2 minutes then dab face with oil control film/strip to get excess oil.
2.)Plan your outfit. Check your closet and get those summer outfit out of the closet. And then remember the summer clothes you wear last year for your vacation. Why? Because you won’t want to be in a photograph again with the same outfit as last year! Right? Of course, you don’t need to buy new ones; all you need to do is mix and match with all you have. So, segregate your clothes and know your activities in the beach and decide which mix and match of summer clothes that best fit your activities.
TIP: Fold and pack clothe that goes together, for instance shorts and body tank fold together and so on.
Outfit suggestions:
GAP Body Tank +GAP Mini Shorts+Slipper+Shades+Big Hat = Fabulous Beach Strolling Outfit
Cotton Tube Dress+ Long Necklace+ flat sandals= Fabulous Night Beach Party Outfit

3.)Always wear Aqua Shoes when snorkeling or going to other water activities, wearing aqua shoes can prevent from getting cuts from sharp stones and sea urchins.
TIP: if you are in a budget, buy aqua shoes at SM Department Store, they have non- branded aqua shoes that are very durable. Price range from PHP 180-250
So that’s it for now, hope you get something from my simple tips and lets all enjoy summer 2011!
