How to Get Sand Off Yourself at the Beach.
Sand sticks to hot, lotion-covered skin and
gets between your toes, not to mention other,
unmentionable locations.
Keep your body grit-free with these savvy
sand-removal tips.
You will need Baby powder or talcum powder
Sandals Mesh beach bag and mild detergent.
Step 1.
Let wet hair and clothes dry off in the sun.
As they dry, some loose sand will fall off
on its own.
Step 2.
Shake some baby powder or talcum powder wherever
you have sand on your body, like in between
fingers and toes.
It absorbs moisture and allows you to easily
brush off any remaining grains with your hand.
Step 3.
Sprinkle some powder onto your hands and rub
it gently into your scalp to remove sand from
your hair.
Step 4.
Wear sandals to the beach instead of sand-trapping
closed-toe shoes.
Step 5.
Carry a mesh bag for towels, lotions, magazines,
and toys.
Excess sand will fall through the mesh and
won't end up on your or in your car.
Step 6.
Get sand out of your bathing suit by soaking
it in a basin of lukewarm water.
Lay it flat to dry overnight, then wash it
with a mild detergent in the sink.
Finish with a final rinse to get all the remaining
stubborn sand right out.
Did you know Sand sharks, also known as sand
tigers, are the only shark known to come to
the surface of the water and take a gulp of
air.
