After the long drive to the Hamptons or a quick Blade to Martha’s Vineyard, no feeling can quite compare to that of freshly pedicured feet sinking into the warm sand—except, perhaps, the knowledge that you’ve properly stocked your beach house to keep your toes, fingers, and everything in between as flawless as the day you arrived. After all, that oversize tote is likely stuffed with bikinis, caftans, and new strappy sandals, and there isn’t much room for beauty supplies. Why cart your broad-spectrum sunscreen or face mask back and forth each weekend?

Leave the heavy lifting to the pros: The ultimate arsenal of summer essentials—ones that are as useful as they are indulgent—lie just a few clicks of the mouse ahead. For spotless skin, Coqui Coqui’s all-natural mosquito repellent and Rodan + Fields' mask forge an infallible skin-soothing alliance. Where Oribe’s oversize shampoo and conditioner will keep strands healthy and ward off the effects of chlorine or salt water on hair, Dior's universally flattering bronzing palette adds a sun-kissed filter wherever needed. And, should you forget to schedule a glow-inducing spray tan, let Sol de Janeiro's shimmery lotion bronze your limbs to perfection in seconds. Here, the 12 beauty products to have on hand to make the most of your getaway—just add water.
