Lazy days spent by the pool are one of summer's greatest pleasures.
Of course, a quick dip in the pool will cool us down, but it's all about safely catching some rays and checking books off our reading lists while chilling poolside.
While you're probably going to be subjected to splashing and --let's face it -- sweat, there are some products that will ensure you won't look like a hot, melting mess by the end of the day.
Here are five beauty essentials to pack for a poolside afternoon.
1
Sun Protection
Sunscreen is a no-brainer. Don't forget to also protect your hair!
