Content creator Ellie Thumann knows there‘s no better feeling than spending the whole day under the sun and on the beach, taking a shower and then getting ready with just a minimal amount of glam. A tropical summer vacation always results in the most gorgeous sun-kissed flush of the cheeks, a natural bronzed tan, beachy mermaid hair and cute freckles on the surface of the skin.

In her latest TikTok, the two-time SI Swimsuit model, who was photographed in Puerto Rico for her debut last year, and Mexico for her 2024 feature, looked beautiful, radiant and happy as ever. She shared the two-products she’s loving from Hailey Bieber‘s skincare brand, Rhode, that make for the most perfect minimalist vacation look.
