Going to the beach for vacation is relaxing, but can also be a little stressful if you're not feeling confident about your appearance. After all, you will be spending a lot of time in your swimsuit surrounded by people. Luckily, there are simple things you can do to feel and look your best so you can get the most out of your upcoming beach vacation. Here are four ideas:

Order a Custom-Made Swimsuit

The one thing that can make or break how confident you feel on the beach is your bathing suit. If your swimsuit doesn't fit quite right or is unflattering, it can kill your confidence and affect how much you enjoy your beach vacation. A great solution is to order a custom-made swimsuit at companies like Wet Peach Swimwear.

Your custom-made swimsuit will be made exactly to your own unique measurements, ensuring a perfect and flattering fit. This also eliminates the problem of finding bottoms that fit only to have the top of your swimsuit be the wrong size, or vice versa.

Get a Spray Tan

Tanning in the sun leads to premature aging and increases your risk of sun cancer, but if you happen to be fair-skinned you probably feel better when you have a little color. A spray tan is much safer than tanning beds or laying out in the sun without sunblock. Spray tans give you a natural-looking summer glow and can even make you look slimmer. Most spray tans last a couple weeks, so your tan should last for your whole vacation.

Fit in A Few Workouts

Even if your vacation is right around the corner, working up a sweat can help you look a bit more toned and fit before your vacation. Plus, exercise releases plenty of feel-good hormones like endorphins, which can be a natural self-esteem booster. In the days leading up to your vacation, make time for a run, take a barre class or two, or simply get in the habit of having dance parties in your living room to your favorite upbeat music. You can keep your fitness habit going by jogging on the beach once you arrive at your destination.

Get a Mani-Pedi

A simple way to look polished and put together is to schedule a manicure and pedicure for right before your trip. You will feel amazing every time you look down at your brightly painted toes in the sand. To ensure that your manicure and pedicure last for the entire vacation, pay a bit more for a long-lasting shellac mani-pedi. 

By following these tips, you will feel more confident about your appearance when you go to the beach for vacation.
