1. A Burt's Bees sunburn soother, aka your new summertime bae — it's made with aloe and coconut oil to give crispy shoulders and rosy-red skin some much needed TLC when you've (accidentally) spent too much time in the sun.
Psst — a lot of reviewers mentioned this also helped prevent peeling and itching!
Promising review: "I ordered this two weeks ago after seeing rave reviews. So grateful I did. Yesterday I got the worst burn. It was unbelievable. I applied this four times over 24 hours. When I woke up this morning it was a lot better and has just gotten increasingly better throughout the day. The burn is mostly faded, and the pain is so much better. I hope to never burn this badly again, but I will be stockpiling this lotion all the same." —Carolina G.
Get it from Amazon for $12.66.
2. A portable neck fan to give you that sweet relief from the heat wherever you are. It works so well with its three speed settings, you'll almost feel like you have your own personal central AC system hanging around your clavicle.
Depending on your setting, the fan can last 4–16 hours. Once it needs to be recharged, just connect it to any USB cable.
Promising review: "Summer must-have. This fan works! I tried another brand, and it was too noisy. At first, thought it wasn't powerful enough, but I was wrong. It kept me cool in the hot sun in Orlando at theme parks. I kept it on low most of the time as I didn’t need it higher and turned it off when inside; it lasted over eight hours. Definitely recommend. I even wore my hair down, and it didn't get tangled." —Miami girl
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in five colors).
3. A CeraVe salicylic acid body wash so you can say "see ya!" to those pesky scabs left over from picking ingrowns, and "au revoir!" to warm-weather keratosis pilaris flare-ups. This exfoliates without the rough, physical microbeads and buffs away bumpy skin while smoothing — thanks to hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.
Promising review: "My 6-year-old daughter has keratosis pilaris, commonly known as 'chicken skin.' This year it really flared up during warm weather so I gave this wash along with lotion a try. Wow, I saw results after just a few uses and after a couple of weeks most of her bumps disappeared. Thrilled we skipped a trip to the dermatologist! Can’t beat this price for the results either." —Ashley Steigerwald
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
4. A stick of Body Glide anti-chafing balm to protect your precious skin from irritation, particularly between your thighs, around your neck, under your arms...literally anywhere you can experience rubbing from clothing or regular ol' skin contact.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord uses this and says "I swear by this to the point where if I can't find it in the morning of a summer run, I just won't go out, LOLOL. My boobs chafe SO BADLY under my sports bra bands, no matter what kind I'm wearing, but putting on a tiny bit of this before I leave works like a charm. Absolutely no more friction and no more going 'OW OW OW' in the shower because my literal boob wounds were stinging."
Promising review: "Used for a Vegas vacay. Miles on the strip can do a number on the inner thighs! Used this and it was great!!!!! No soreness or chafing. Kept skin soft smooth and worked for a very long time! This is my first full review of a product because it worked soooo well." —Toya S.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four sizes).
5. A cushy pair of popular "recovery" slides reviewers with pain from plantar fasciitis and bunions (to name a couple!) swear by for keeping their feet free and comfy throughout the season. Not only are they absurdly cute, but their marshmallow-y sole will have your (now) happy feet bouncing from place to place for any and all summer activities.
Promising review: "I have ordered several pairs trying to find the one that lives up to its hype; well this one is it. Super cushy, fits true to size — I ordered the mauvish pink colored one and love it. I will be ordering a black pair. I have a heel spur and planters fasciitis so regular flip flops bother me after wearing several hours, these do not. Very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend." —leah
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and 30 colors).
6. An absorbent bra liner you'll probably want to hug the inventor of because you, an under-boob sweater, have basically had your prayers answered. Simply slip this inconspicuous layer beneath your bra to trap moisture and minimize the effects of pesky perspiration.
7. A hypoallergenic Aveeno SPF 60 moisturizing face sunscreen we could all use in our daily routines (but especially when the sun is having its moment). This stuff is oil-free, has a lightweight feel according to reviewers, and is sweat- and water-resistant for up to 80 minutes — making it the perfect companion for hikes and pool time.
Promising review: "I use it every day during the summer. I water walk Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m.–9 a.m. and take a water Zumba class from 9 a.m.–10 a.m. then just swim until 11 a.m.. I use Aveeno every morning before I start and haven't had a sunburn yet, and I'm in Oklahoma where it's 100 degrees before noon." —Teri
Get it from Amazon for $10.97.
8. Plus! Live Tinted Hueguard, which protects your skin sans any annoying, ghostly white cast. It's great if you don't have the patience (or energy) in the summer to apply multiple products, since this mineral SPF 30 sunscreen *plus* primer hybrid moisturizes and preps skin for a no-makeup or full-face-makeup day.
This works for all skin tones to leave your face with a beautiful dewy glow! P.S. This is formulated with 18% zinc oxide (a mineral ingredient that works as a skin protectant — and hooray! Is an FDA-approved sunscreen component that reflects harmful UVs). And yes, bbs, it's clean, vegan, cruelty- and fragrance- free, *and* it's reef safe!
Live Tinted is a South-Asian woman-owned beauty brand founded by beauty blogger and entrepreneur Deepica Mutyala. Her brand is built around diversity and inclusion with phenomenal multitasking products that address skin concerns like hyperpigmentation. Just peep their top-selling color correcting Huestick.
See why this TikToker is choosing Huegard.
I've recently introduced this gem into my skincare routine, and — holy cow — I'm not sure why it took me so long to give it a whirl. I've been writing about Live Tinted's products for some time, and finally decided to snag some of their goodies for myself. Hueguard injects a literal ray of liquid sunshine into my daily regimen because, gold. And it really, truly, leaves zero white cast on my face — plus there's no pilling, either! It blends seamlessly with my complexion, feels ultra hydrating, and is the perfect base layer for makeup. (That's me above after a few hours of wear with Hueguard layered under some Kosas concealer and One/Size foundation and, I've got to be honest — as someone who has had a few acne scars residing on their cheeks for some time and struggles with makeup application — I haven't seen my complexion look this smooth in a minute! AND my no-makeup-makeup look stayed put for hours!) I can't recommend Huegard enough if you're looking to try something new!
Promising review: "This has now become my favorite daily sunscreen/moisturizer/primer. They really do mean it when they say 'no white cast' and the product doesn't feel oily/doesn't block my pores. Love the consistency and that you can travel with it — plus it's a 3-in-1 so it saves me a lot of time. Highly recommend!" —Ulta Customer
Get it from Amazon, Ulta or Live Tinted for $32+ (available in two sizes).
9. A set of popular reusable silicone Nippies to provide seamless coverage under dresses and lightweight shirts. Reviewers love these since they replace the need for uncomfy strapless bras (hands up, who here hates wearing any form of bra in the summer anyway?!) and because even in 90-degree heat, they stay put without any budging.
Promising reviews: "I LOVE these! Total game changer. Very smooth taper, seamless transition for layering under the most challenging tops like silk and super soft lightweight T-shirts. I’ve owned this pair for a year, they still stick well and are just starting to lose adhesion around the edges. I even wear them while exercising, no issues! I actually bought another pair to replace them months ago and still haven’t needed to open them :) I wear these a couple of times a week and am very happy with the product, highly recommend! It blends nicely with my skin color, it does not show even under white tops." —Lets Go Shopping
"I literally wear these covers all the time. These covers really are seamless and I love the shades they have, these blend perfectly into my skin tone. As someone with small breasts, strapless bras never really were for me as they always rode down and I would have to adjust them throughout the day. With these, it’s just so much more comfier and they really are sweat-proof, they do not budge. I live in California and it’s summer right now, so it’s been like 85-95 degrees and I can wear these with no issue!! I wash them after every wear and put them back in the casing it comes with." —Marilyn Miranda
Get it from Amazon for $26+ (available in two sizes and four shades).
10. Kinfield Golden Hour Spray, a plant-based, DEET-free mosquito repellent that's every bit as light and lovely as your summer should feel (with the added bonus of having a delightful citrus and vanilla scent). This effectively wards off those bloodsuckers without the need for harsh and nasty chemicals.
This is vegan and cruelty-free and comes from a woman-owned small biz!
And! If you do happen to get nibbled on, you should try their soothing cruelty-free, vegan Anti-Itch Balm.
Promising review: "I’ve tried so many natural bug sprays that have not worked so my expectations were kind of low. HAPPY to report this bug spray works. Every day I hike in the mosquito-filled woods and this spray kept the bugs away. I’ll definitely purchase again." —Kinfield Customer
Get it from Kinfield for $22 (available in two sizes).
11. And! A bug bite suction tool, because it can't hurt to arm yourself with something to prevent those itchy bumps as well as some after care that drains out the irritant and stops swelling and itching in. its. tracks.
Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times, so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. It arrived Monday and Tuesday morning I woke up with a bug bite on my arm, so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) and immediately after use, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bite gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in seven colors and in multipacks).
12. Natural green tea oil absorbing tissues, which take blotting sheets to the next skin-loving level because they can actually cleanse your face as well. Use one of these to swipe away summertime shine *and* impurities in a flash.
They're even all-natural! They're made from 100% natural linen fibers with organic bamboo charcoal to keep you nice and fresh all day.
Promising review: "I've had oily skin my whole life and have used countless types of oil-blotting sheets because they're lifesavers. THESE ARE AMAZING. They're a great deal, big sheets, and they pull out one at a time so easily. I'll never go back to other brands. Give these a try — they're completely worth it. They work well and are easy to use. I have no negative things to say at all." —Kelsey
Get a 100-count pack from Amazon for $6.95+ (available in three formulas).
13. A post-workout multispray, the dream formula in a bottle for anyone looking to instantly refresh their sweaty bodies or clothing after a mid-summer exercise sesh. This stuff instantly cools and provides a light, minty aroma to musty pits *and* kits.
Plus! This can also be used on tired, achy feet!
Get it from our Goodful shop for $29.99
14. A CurlCap that's trusted to take care of curly hair when the weather is best described as "too damn hot." With its satin lining, this chic accessory has an open back and built-in elastic that will easily (and comfortably) sit and fit over big, beautiful 'dos while also providing some shade from the sun.
CurlCap is a Black-owned apparel company founded by Britney Sade that specializes in caps designed for natural hair with an open back and flexible scrunchie design.
Promising review: "This hat is comfortable, well-made, and cute! It is now my go-to hat for casual days when I put my hair in a ponytail. I have also worn it playing tennis and found that it's more comfortable than wearing a visor. The back elastic really keeps the hat secure without feeling too tight. I have the black twill, and would love to see it in other colors in this fabric for walking, running, and tennis. Love." —Me
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in one size and medium sizes; and 25 styles).
15. A plant-based, refillable deodorant so you can switch up the aluminum-filled antiperspirant you've been wearing since 10th grade — because this is the future of preventing sweat and having great-smelling underarms. With this, you can pick your colorful case, your choice of fresh scents, and your plan.
You can select your plan based on whether you want a one-time purchase or regular refill plan. Myro deodorants are cruelty-free but there's so much more to it than that — they're also aluminum-, paraben-, phthalate- and talc-free. Plus, they don't use baking soda, artificial colors, or synthetic fragrances, which are known to be skin irritants.
Here's what BuzzFeeder Marquaysa Battle has to say about it: "Tbh, I wasn't looking for environmentally-friendly deodorant although I swear I love Mother Earth. My go-to fragrance-free deodorant was discontinued so I just desperately needed one that wouldn't irritate my sensitive underarm skin and would keep me smelling fresh. All the other natural deodorants I tried DEFINITELY DID NOT KEEP ME FRESH 🙅🏿♀️. I had to re-up several times throughout the day just to avoid a sweaty smell, which wasn't my norm and made me feel self-conscious. Finally, I stumbled upon the Myro deodorant and figured I'd just try it since I tried everything else (Native, Tom's, Almay, you name it). I was skeptical because it smelled so good and my severely sensitive skin typically doesn't play nice with scents. I guess since the product is truly natural, that's why it didn't irritate me. Fair warning: I peeped that the deodorant has low ratings on like two sites but it appears that the Myro brand listened to the people, as its website notes that it's upgraded the formula. I've been using it for about three weeks. I apply it once daily and don't have to break my schedule to re-up, haven't had any itchy patches develop under my arms, and FINALLY get to enjoy a great scented product again, which I haven't been able to do in years. BTW, the scent I have is the Chill Wave which smells like cucumber, jasmine, and spearmint 👃🏾❤️."
Get the actual deodorant from Myro for $25 (available in five scents) and the case for FREE (available in five colors). Personalize your case for $6 more, and to just get the refill it's $11.25+.
16. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution that can assist in reducing the appearance of ingrowns and ouch-inducing red bumps — known to us sufferers as a ~fun~ little thing called razor burn.
Promising review: "I have razor burn around my bikini line in the summer soo bad, and I feel like I’m always self conscious and trying to hide it. This product completely solved the problem. Easy to use. I apply it in the morning and evenings and always remember to after shaving. I don’t have any razor burn anymore!!!" —Kellie R
Get it from Amazon for $14.39+ (available in two sizes).
17. A bottle of AquaGuard Pre-Swim Hair Defense to provide some added insurance for anyone who spends their summers doing handstands in the local pool. Chlorine = your hair's worst enemy, so apply this color-safe formula to your strands pre-dip and allow to dry before showing off your water gymnastics tricks.
Promising review: "I'm a believer. My daughters have thick, curly hair that takes about 10 minutes to condition and wet-comb daily. Chlorine is kryptonite; their hair becomes frizzy polyester if they swim, rinse, and air dry. This AquaGuard Pre-Swim conditioner is amazing. We work it into wet hair, put the hair in a braid or ponytail, and swim. After swimming, the kids rinse off and comb their hair again. The next morning is the test — no polyester! In fact, the hair looks, smells and behaves as if it had been freshly washed and conditioned before bed. So very worth it!!!" —Denise
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in a multipack).
18. An Esarora Facial Ice Roller here to depuff and help calm inflamed, overheated skin — with the added bonus of potentially alleviating sinus pain and hot-weather migraine ouchies. Just plonk it in your fridge or freezer and use it across your cheeks, eyes, and head. And for some extra self-care: roll this over a sheet mask for better absorption and ultra soothing feels.
Promising review: "I was skeptical about this product. I wasn't sure how it was much different than rolling any other frozen thing on your body. I'm beyond pleasantly surprised. I've used it for sinus pain, migraines, swollen neck glands, under-eye circles/bags, inflamed acne, TMJ pain, etc. Not to mention, when I used it on my face, it leaves my skin feeling tight and wakes me up in the mornings. It also stays cold for forever but never sweats or leaves water behind. It's like magic. I also bought one for my mom who suffers from nerve damage in her arms and legs. I think it'll really help when she has bad pain days." —Jessica McRee
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 12 colors and in two-roller options).
19. L’Oréal 8 Second Wonder Water Lamellar Hair Treatment, a rinse-out hair treatment that works like a treat in eight, yes, you read that correctly, EIGHT seconds to fight troublesome bed head and frizz caused by humidity. Think: mirror-like shine and softer-than-soft locks in fine to thick textures.
Apply this directly to wet hair, avoiding the roots, massage it in for eight seconds, then rinse. Effort required = practically zero. You can use 1 dose for fine- to medium-textured hair, 2–3 doses for thick- to curly-textured hair, and add one more dose if you have long hair.
Promising reviews: "I don’t usually do reviews on products, but for this one, I absolutely have to. I have 3c type hair and struggle a lot with breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me, I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would have thought this brand would work on my hair. I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing, and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen. Thank you so much!! ♥️" —Theressa Hailey
"It really works! My hair is brittle and dry breaking frequently. I also live in an extremely humid area (South Florida). I never could get that shiny healthy polished hair look in the summer. Until now. I didn’t even need conditioner, and it’s so sleek and silky looking and feeling. No longer dry and easily tangled. So smooth, moisturized without being weighed down. It did feel a bit warm when applying. I took care to avoid getting it on my scalp and just on the hair about an inch away from the root to the bottom. I have a shoulder-length bob." —Bonnie
Get it from Amazon for $8.29.
20. A set of cooling patches that — don't be fooled — can help relieve a multitude of summer troubles, including drowsiness, bee stings, bug bites, fevers, sunburn, and even hot weather-induced headaches.
Promising review: "Used these on a sunburn on my back, and they were very soothing. Also provided padding when leaning back in my seat. I stuck one on my shoulder also to keep my seatbelt from rubbing the sunburn there. I bought them to use on the back of my kids' necks to help prevent heat exhaustion on a very hot day outside but ended up just using them for burn relief." —Joanna
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $13.99.
21. Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray, which keeps makeup where you want it and not where you don't — i.e., it won't rub off on your friend's white shirt when you lean in to give 'em a hug. TBH, sweat, rain, and humidity should all just admit defeat, because they're no match for this summer superhero spray.
This is perfect for normal, oily, dry, and combination skin types. Plus, the vegan and cruelty-free formula lowers the temperature of your makeup for seamlessly smudge-proof, waterproof, and transfer-resistant wear.
BuzzFeeder Marquaysa Battle has put this stuff to the ultimate test and this is what she says: "I use this spray and will swear by it for the rest of my days. I definitely have oilier skin in the summer months and over the years, I've tried a number of drugstore setting sprays that did absolutely nothing. This spray is worth the extra coins. I even wore it to Puerto Rico. Through the blazing sun and lots of ocean splashes, my makeup did NOT budge."
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes) or from Sephora for $16+ (available in two sizes).
22. A bottle of Bio-Oil to gently treat uneven complexions — along with a myriad of other skin concerns, like stretch marks, scars leftover from bug bites, and sun spots. It's so effective that more than 70,000 people love it. It's also noncomedogenic, which means it won't clog pores and — *jumps for joy* — can be used on the face to eradicate acne scars, too.
Psst! Bio-Oil contains retinol, which accelerates skin turnover but can make you more sensitive to the sun — so don't forget your sunscreen!
Promising reviews: "I LOVE this product! On the left was me two weeks postpartum, and on the right is two months later!! I use this oil religiously! Twice a day (in the morning and at night). I would definitely recommend this to EVERYONE; it is a little pricey, but it is definitely worth it!!!" —Gia
"We spend a lot of hours outside in the sun for my kids' sports, especially in the summer for travel baseball. I noticed after this season, my arms were developing several sun spots. I started using this oil and noticed a difference in less than two weeks. Then, within a couple more weeks, I noticed my hands were looking a lot younger and smoother. I really love this oil, and it's a part of my daily regimen for skin care. It has made a significantly noticeable difference, and I am very pleased with the results." —Sherrmor74
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes).
23. Mighty Patch hydrocolloid pimple patches that can work to absorb pus and shrink zits ~head on~. Since summer can be rough on our skin (think: sweat + humidity + sunscreen) these are great to prevent picking and, according to one of our editors, are an effective treatment to help avoid scarring and hyperpigmentation.
Melanie Aman, an editor on our Shopping team, tried these out and says: "These are hands down the best pimple patches I’ve ever used. Why? Because they actually work. I’ve tried some more cutesy patches that were great for Instagram photos but did nothing to shrink my breakouts. And the pimple patches that touted themselves as basically invisible were — but so were any results. While the Hero Cosmetics pimple patches are a little more visible (but really only noticeable if someone was standing really close to my face), the results are clear to see. (And JSYK, they also make an invisible version, but I have not tried it.)
IMO they work best on whiteheads, drawing out the pus and preventing me from picking. Once all the fluids are drained (yum!), I plop a patch on what was once home to a very angry whitehead and replace it twice a day (once in the morning and once at night). In my experience, that has been the best treatment for preventing really noticeable hyperpigmentation and acne scarring, which my skin is really prone to after breakouts."
Promising review: "This product is amazing and has worked wonders for me! I have used other brands but this one has shown the best results time and time again. I always have these on hand and doesn’t cause any issues on my sensitive skin. Sometimes it may take three nights in a row to really diminish the pimple, but after one night I see results." —Kristin Mallory
Get 36 patches from Amazon for $11.97.
24. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes for anyone who finds themself d-r-i-p-p-i-n-g in salty fluids day after day (even if it's cool outside!). Just peep this before and after; the after could be you...in the future...bone dry. AKA, run — don't walk — for these godsends.
Heads up, if you have sensitive skin you might wanna spot test these before trying them out on your whole bod!
And hey! Each box lasts two months!
Promising review: "For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in packs of two or three boxes).
25. A leave-in curl conditioning spray that tells knots and tangles to take a hike *plus* will turn your little one's messy post-pool-swim locks into ones that are a lot more manageable (and feature soft, picture-perfect curls and ringlets). This stuff gently detangles and restore tresses, all without the use of harsh and nasty chemicals.
Reviewers say this spray will leave wavy or curly hair (from 2a–4c hair) shiny, soft, and bouncy. And it's free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic colors or dyes, propylene glycol, gluten, wheat, and nuts!
Promising review: "This is the BEST product EVER! I will never use another hair detangler ever again. We use this product daily in my house, my daughter, my son, and I. Both of us girls have long and thick curly hair, and it allows us to brush through our hair with no problems! And my son mostly uses it to style his hair before gel, and because it smells so good! We tried a few products from Walmart, Ulta, and Target, and nothing was good enough. This is now on my Subscribe & Save every month!" —Tamira McLelland
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available as a two-pack).
26. Supergoop's (Re)setting 100% Mineral Powder with SPF 35 because shielding your skin from the sun's unforgiving rays and locking in your makeup can, in fact, come together as one. Plus, this can also be REapplied throughout the day *over* your look for a protective touchup — without messing with your concealer. It's also travel-friendly (because, powder) so take it en route for all summer adventures.
Pro-tip: If you part your hair, brush some onto the exposed scalp — it'll protect the skin and help absorb excess oils!
Promising review: "Purchased this product for my wedding — knew I would have professional makeup done and that we would be taking photos outside. I have very fair skin and burn very easily, so I knew I needed some sort of SPF protection. This was perfect to brush over my face, neck, and shoulders before photos, and I was completely protected from the sun! Highly recommend!" —Jennyg788
"New must have product for summer. I’ve been searching for a sunscreen for my part & every scalp sunscreen has made my hair greesy. This product works so well for my part & blends into my blonde hair well." —RachelBrooks
Get it from Amazon or Sephora for $35 (available in three shades).
27. A shampoo scalp massager to help you achieve a deep scalp clean with its thick, stimulating silicone bristles. Some reviewers note that it can potentially soothe a dry, itchy scalp that's home to pesky dandruff, too. Plus, it can also be used to gently detangle any knots!
And! This just happens to be fan-favorite among the BuzzFeed writers — including myself. I have one of these shower companions, and while I don't use it every time I get sudsy, I usually run it through my hair after a few days of back-to-back dry shampooing. It really gets in there to clear up any buildup while also feeling like a nice little scalp massage.
Promising review: "I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis that gets very painful and itchy in the summer. This little scrubber helps really scrub away the flakes and gets the shampoo deep in my roots. As someone with dense hair, getting the shampoo really deep into the scalp can be difficult. It doesn't feel too harsh on the skin either." —FanGirlOfTheOpera
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
28. A Casper hybrid pillow with Snow Technology™ featuring a cool-to-touch, supportive surface that's worth the extra bucks so you can sleep soundly without overheating in bed. Because what's personal care without a good night's rest?
I can attest that this pillow is both cooling *and* supportive. I've been lucky enough to try one of these babies, and since I live in California there's been no better place or time to test it out than during this summer's heatwave. I look forward to getting into bed and resting my head on this every night since it instantly cools my face — and stays cools throughout the night. I move around a decent amount in my sleep, and, with each movement, every part of the pillow remains cold. It honestly astounds me. Plus, the firmness is both flexible and supportive and I haven't woken up with a sore neck since I've been using this. It's absolutely worth the investment if you, like me, overheat during the night.
Promising review: "I am amazed at how cool this pillow stays. Both sides are as cool as the flip side of the pillow! Loving not sweating to the pillowcase on these hot summer nights. I was certain my husband was going to try to steal this pillow when it arrived (and I was right)!" —Casper Customer
Get it from Casper for $149+ or Amazon for $134.10+ (available in two sizes).
29. A set of popular wickaway sweatbands, aka your trusty companion for, well, any type of activity you plan to do in the blistering heat. These babies prevent sweat beads from running down your face and stinging your peepers, while keeping your noggin cool and comfy.
Promising review: "I've always been active all my life and I sweat profusely! It's Summer here in Southwest Florida. I walk over 5 miles outside with temps close to 90 degrees and over 80% humidity. You get the picture. I just received these and this was my first time to try it out. I walked over 5 miles and there was NOT one drop of sweat that went in my eyes. The wicking is the best ever! It never moved on my head (I was worried because I have a small head), it is extremely comfortable, and it is fashionable. Next comes the wash test. The best Amazon purchase ever!" —Michele in O’Fallon
Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $13.49.
30. A jar of Lawless Forget The Filler overnight lip mask, which takes care of chapped lips that are battling dryness and dehydration. Packed with shea butter, berry extract, and hyaluronic acid, this stuff helps support natural collagen production to plump and soothe as you sleep. So getting kissably softer skin has never been easier!
Team up harsh acne medication with fierce dry heat winds and you've got the perfect formula for lizard-like dryness. AKA what I'm currently dealing with — especially around my mouth. Enter: the Lawless Forget The Filler Overnight Lip Mask, which has been saving my chapped lips for the year. It's cooling, it's soothing. It's thick without feeling tacky. It's hydrating without feeling sticky. And I don't have to do a darn thing except liberally apply it each night and wake up with softer, fuller, less painful-feeling lips!
*And* this is vegan and cruelty-free!
Lawless Beauty is a woman-owned beauty brand from Annie Lawless. She makes clean, nontoxic makeup and skincare that doesn't skimp on pigment or coverage.
Promising review: "As someone who is skeptical about overnight products like this, I was pleasantly shocked and surprised to see results the next morning after my first use! My lips not only felt hydrated and smooth, but definitely looked more plump (without that tingling sensation most plumping products provide which I don't like!)" —JuliaFromPhilly
Get it from Sephora for $22 (available in four shades).
31. A cult-fave Mario Badescu Facial Spray you'll thank yourself for having on hand after a muggy subway commute. This is infused with cooling aloe and soothing rosewater to refresh makeup and hydrate summer dryness.
Promising review: "I needed something to add to get overnight delivery, found this, it sounded interesting. Boy do I love it. Used during hot humid days at Disney. Was cooling and very refreshing. I'm not normally a fan of rose scent, but found it to be delightful in this situation. Will definitely buy again." —Vickie San Antonio
Get it from Amazon for $7+ (available in two sizes and multipacks).
32. An I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo so you can bid greasy roots and sweaty scalps adieu without an aerosol formula. This handy container is perfect for on-the-go touchups when your summer schedule reads: busy as all heck.
Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —Teresa
Get it from Amazon for $14.40.
33. Foot exfoliating peel masks that work like witchcraft to peel away calloused skin caused by summers walking in sandals and leave you with the softest baby bum feet. This at-home science experiment might be gross, but you'll be so very satisfied with the results.
Just pop on the booties for an hour, wash your feet, and marvel as your feet start shedding layers of dead skin.
Promising review: "Okay, so first things first: I have VERY calloused feet from years of barefoot gravel adventures. The directions advised me to use a second application one week after the first, which I did. My feet just keep PEELING. I'm talking massive chunks of skin coming off. My feet literally haven't felt this soft in over a decade and I'm only 21!! It's a must-have for those wanting to take care of their feet!" —Callie Pinaire
Get it from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in four scents and in three pack sizes).
