Don’t Forget To Snag These 36 Useful Items Before You Head To The Beach This Summer

35. A pack of SPF-sensing stickers that will actually change color and turn dark whenever your sunscreen wears off and the sticker gets exposed to a higher UV. Essentially, it’s a visual reminder to reapply that sunscreen so you don’t get burnt!

Promising review: “I’m multiracial with tan skin. I burn when it’s intense, but I get a great tan otherwise. My 9-month-old is fair, fair, fair. Blue eyes and porcelain skin fair. I reapply my own SPF 50 after a few hours, but I’m not consistent. I’ve never been great about sunscreen, but I was not going to let my daughter get burned. We live in South Florida and just a walk or park time is a potential burning hazard. This is a great visual for me to reapply her sunscreen or make sure she gets in the shade. They’re an absolute essential for parents, especially the ‘sun goddess’ type.” —FlightLife

36. A universal phone shade — it clips onto the back of your phone and blocks the light from your eyes so you can actually read your screen!

Shadey Attachments is a UK-based small business that came up with this idea after seeing people struggle to view their phone while lounging in the sun. The shades attaches to most mobile devices by suction and fans out to protect your face from UV rays. 

Promising review: “I ordered this last-minute for Christmas holiday, and I can honestly say, I now can’t use my phone in the sun without it! It took a second to get going and to realize you have to point it at the sun to put your face in the shade (also better for the wrinkles). It’s literally the best thing ever for the sun.” —Hayley Place
