5 Must-Haves for Your Next Summer Vacation

The Summer is just around the corner, and with warmer weather and longer days, it's the perfect time to plan a vacation. Aside from packing your swimsuits and beach towels, there are other items that will come in handy during your getaway. From practical sun protection to a good read, here are five must-have essentials that, unlike Bad Bunny, shouldn't have un verano sin ti.

The vacation glow typically takes awhile to show but you can still achieve a sun-kissed glow even if it’s night one and you have yet to hit la playa. Pack a bronzer like LUNA MAGIC's Bronzer and swipe some on for an instant warmer look — apply it to areas where the sun naturally hits your face, such as the forehead, cheeks, and nose.  

It wouldn't be an essentials list if we didn't mention sunglasses – and not only is it a fashion accessory, but it's also great for protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays. We recommend selecting a pair that complements your face shape and matches your style to elevate your vacation wardrobe.

Sunscreen reapplication is key, especially after swimming or sweating. Opt for a convenient and travel-friendly spray sunscreen that is comfortable to apply, can be easily thrown into your beach bag, and provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays.  

Nurture your mental health with a new book or some reflective journaling. You can snag a book from a Latina author, like The Making of Yolanda La Bruja by Lorraine Avila, or even pick up a new journal, like this notebook illustrated by Reyna Noriega, that can inspire you to get creative with your thoughts.
