So I recently came back last week from a beach vacation ! I thought my hair would be dried out from daily sea water drenching. At nite I'd co-wash w/ Suave conditioner, and the last evening before we left I shampooed w/ shea moisture, and left a slight amount of conditioner in before twisting.My skin is soooo soft from the sand exfoliation, and my hair was tangle-free, shiny, and made a fantastic twist out that I strutted around with at work for the past 2 days, lol! It feels wonderful. So I ask BHM--does anyone else notice these great benefits from spending a few days at the beach? And why weren't more of yall down there either? Black folks were scarce at the beaches I went to at the gulf coast....  |

I have a sun allergy. (go figure... :-() The 50 SPF was just par for the course on south beach. I now have hives all over my body but my tan is okay. As far as my hair, In box braids so can't tell. Besides my hives and Sun burn, I love the beach. Glad you got tons of benefits

I recharge at the beach. My skin glows and the sea water and air invigorates me. That sand exfoliates my feet in a wonderful way. |

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration SPF 50 You might want something stronger but this one smells great, gives a great glow and I immediately stop burning once I apply it http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&docid=TT0f9Z-KjOZApM&tbnid=j29g8DnxJGjzBM:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FHawaiian-Tropic-Silk-Hydration-Sunscreen-SPF-50-6-oz%2F20713651&ei=S_7zU5KnGNa5ogSY44HwDw&bvm=bv.73373277,d.cGE&psig=AFQjCNFKUZ9HwgP6zylubihghqb4JBuYlg&ust=1408585664147173" rel="nofollow">  |

I like neutrogena ultra sheer 50 My sis used to like one that dr Jan Adams had out for WoColor that had a tint to it. This was before Kanye's mom's surgery and death. I doubt he markets products anymore. |

I also love running on the beach. Early morning run (or walk) is the best way to start the day. I will be so happy when I can wake up every morning at the beach LOL |

| Salt water does wonders for my skin. Every time I go on vacation, it always comes out so soft and even. It fuccs up my hair if I'm not careful though |

| I wish I felt confident enough to go to the beach. Lots of beaches in SoCal. I went to Huntington Beach recently and people walk around practically butt naked. Beach was so crowded. |

 I think transportation and cultural stigmas (the sun gets you darker) keep a lot of non-whites out of the sun/beach. |

http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sun-allergy/basics/definition/con-20035077" rel="nofollow - http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sun-allergy/basics/definition/con-20035077 I was told this back in 2011 but I'm hardheaded. I'll take a pic and post it of my hives if I can remember. It's started as little raised rashes then hives. It's starting to scab now. Normally takes about 2-3 weeks for mine to subside. Same thing happened at my last 5k event. As much as I enjoy the beach the after is enough to keep me in the room til the sun goes down next time I vacay.

Went to the beach a month ago.... I hate the beach now. I had to wash my hair three times to get the sand out |

I went to the beach in DR and literally was in the ocean 94% of the time with my natural hair in just a pony. I thought my hair was going to be dried out too, I made sure to co-wash after every swim. My hair was always so soft, I was surprised too. |

Not surprised. My hair is sooooo soft whenever I'm at the beach and my skin glows.  |
