Ah, finally! Summer's here. And if you're lucky, you're soon going to find yourself laying out on a beach somewhere, basking in the sun with a drink in hand, sans a care in the world.

Because the key to nailing your day by the waves is to look beyond the obvious and make sure that your beach bag is also stocked with grooming products designed to keep you looking your best on the beach — plus wherever you decamp to afterwards.
Like these, for example.
