Sunscreen Tips

Summer is in full swing, and there’s nothing quite like a day at the beach to soak up the sun and enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze. At Neighbor’s Pharmacy, we understand the importance of being well-prepared for your beach adventures. Packing the right essentials can make all the difference in ensuring a fun and stress-free day by the shore. Here’s our guide to the must-have items for your beach bag, ensuring you have everything you need for a perfect day.

The sun’s rays can be harsh, and protecting your skin is crucial. Be sure to pack a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. Don’t forget lip balm with SPF to protect your lips from sunburn. At Neighbor’s Pharmacy, we offer a variety of sun protection products to suit all skin types.

Spending time under the sun can quickly lead to dehydration. Make sure to pack plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day. Consider bringing a reusable water bottle that you can refill as needed. Staying hydrated is essential for maintaining energy levels and preventing heat-related illnesses.

A day at the beach can work up quite an appetite. Pack some healthy snacks like fruits, nuts, or granola bars to keep your energy levels up. These snacks are not only nutritious but also easy to pack and carry.

To ensure a comfortable beach experience, pack a large beach towel or mat to relax on. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses are also essential to protect your face and eyes from the sun. Don’t forget a good book or magazine for some leisurely reading while you lounge.

Accidents can happen, so it’s wise to have a basic first aid kit on hand. Include items like adhesive bandages, antiseptic wipes, and any personal medications you might need. At Neighbor’s Pharmacy, we can help you put together a compact first aid kit tailored to your needs.

Bring along some beach games or a frisbee to add a bit of fun to your day. Whether you’re with family or friends, having some games on hand can make your beach day even more enjoyable.
