Introduction

Goa, India's beach haven, is the ideal place for a weekend break. Whether you while away the day soaking up the sun on Palolem Beach, stroll through the colorful lanes of Fontainhas, or dance the night away on Baga Beach, your skin ought to get as vacation-perfect a glow as your mood! Here's a handy and fun skincare guide to make you glow on your Goan adventure.

Sunshine & Skincare: Why You Need the Right Essentials

Goa's tropical climate means scorching sun, sea salt-infused breezes, and humidity—each of which can play havoc with your skin. A well-stocked skincare kit is your ticket to a worry-free beach holiday. ????

1. Begin with Sunscreen: Your Goan Must-Have

Goa's sun cannot be underestimated, particularly in places like Anjuna Beach or Chapora Fort. A sunscreen with SPF 50+ broad-spectrum is a must to prevent sunburn and tanning. Apply every 2 hours, particularly after a sea dip or a scooter ride along Candolim's scenic roads.

Top Tip: Opt for a water-resistant sun lotion so that you can stay protected even while splashing at Calangute Beach!

2. A Light Moisturizer for That Dewy Glow

Humidity makes your skin sticky, but moisturizer is something you have to use no matter what. Use a Vitamin C Mattifying Moisturizer to moisturize without clogging pores. It keeps your skin fresh while you experience the free-spirited lifestyle at Arambol Market or enjoy cocktail-hopping at Tito's Lane in Baga.

Pro Tip: Apply moisturizer as soon as you wash your face to seal in the moisture prior to going out for the day.

3. Cleanse Away the Fun

After a day outside in the sun or a night out at legendary Curlies Beach Shack, your skin requires a thorough clean. A rejuvenating Glutathione Face Wash is ideal for washing away dirt, sweat, and sunscreen and leaving your skin cool and radiant.

Bonus: Its brightening effect will make you glow even in your post-Goa Instagram selfies. #BeachGlow ????

4. Hydrate, Soothe, Repeat

Sun, sand, and salt will dry out your skin. Bring an aloe vera gel or after-sun lotion for your skin comfort after a day of soaking up the sun at Vagator Beach or sunset at Fort Aguada. It's the best antidote to post-sun exposure.

Pro Tip: Refrigerate the gel in your Airbnb to get an added cooling effect.

5. SPF Lip Balm: Small But Mighty

Don't forget your lips! Sun and sea breeze dry them out and cause them to crack. A lip balm with SPF comes in handy to walk through the vibrant cafes of Assagao or relax on a serene backwater cruise on Divar Island.
