In the Philippines, the summer season is practically synonymous with an unforgettable trip (or two) to the beach. And why shouldn't it be? Our country's tropical weather, pristine waters, and party-ready locals make for one vacation to remember.

Ready to bounce off with your friends? Not so fast! Bikinis, flip flops, and floaty dresses aside, you would also have to make space in your bag for some very important beauty products.
