If You Love Nature But It Doesn’t Love You Back, Check Out These 42 Products

Promising review: "I was very skeptical of this product but decided to give it a try after reading the reviews and knowing if it didn't work I could return it. Let me preface this review by saying I live a few miles from a swamp in south Louisiana.

"I know it says wait 15 minutes to give it time to work, but I wanted to make sure mosquitoes were swarming to test it effectively. So I camped out in my favorite chair and was immediately swarmed by mosquitoes. I started the unit, and in about 15 minutes there wasn't a mosquito near me! No exaggeration. I am sitting outside as night is falling in south Louisiana and not one mosquito is buzzing me. I have been out here just over an hour and I have only two bites – one bite was from when I first sat down and before the unit was on 15 minutes. I am seriously impressed with this product and I am ordering more for gifts and to expand my own coverage as soon as I am done with this review. And there is no stinky citronella smell. There is no odor at all. Amazing." —NolaMom

3. An Owala FreeSip tumbler so you can enjoy icy agua all day long in the sweltering heat instead of having to add more ice every hour, thanks to its triple-layer insulation! This godsend offers all the benefits of a Stanley without the spills, and its spout is a game changer — you can either drink through a built-in straw or tilt it back to chug.

Promising reviews: "I've tried them all, and this is hands-down the best water bottle!! I love that I can use it with the built-in straw or use it as an open water bottle, just depending on how I tip it while drinking. It's seriously perfect. My husband has been using a Stanley for four years and switched to this after seeing mine. No more leaking, or spilling." —Rowleypolie

"Without a doubt, everyone has heard the uproar over huge insulated cup brands using lead to make their cups. If that is a concern for you, then there is no need to worry about this one. This cup is made lead-free and works phenomenally! I always put ice in my Owala with my water and notice that all the ice is still there over a span of 48 hours and still freezing cold." —DietDrKelp069

Get a 24-ounce tumbler from Amazon for$29.99 (available in 21 colors and three other sizes).

4. A pair of quick-drying hiking shoes with an open-mesh upper and holes on the sole so you can cross through rivers and wade through waterfalls without having to suffer through that icky feeling of soaked sneakers and socks.

Promising review: "It's got good arch support, definitely not waterproof, but dries very fast and doesn't have any pooling water in them. Good for hiking. Not too slippery, good grip on wet rocks. The color is as expected." —Dustin

Get them from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in 19 colors and in men's sizes 7–16).

5. An instant cooling towel, because yes, there actually IS a way you can stay cool during your hikes and runs in 90-degree weather! Just soak it with cold water, wring it out, and drape it around your head or neck for sweet, sweet relief.

Promising review: "Great product! I bought this for an upcoming summer hiking trip in Utah, but I have been using it for an aerobics class as a headband. I sweat on my head and it runs down into my eyes. Regular headbands get soaked too fast. This really works because it keeps my head cooler and when warms up, I simply drizzle more water on it from my spouted water bottle." —Lepmay

Get it from Amazon for $8.95 (available in seven colors and in multi-packs).

6. A pair of flowy athletic shorts so you can look cute and stay as comfy as possible on your summer walks and hikes. They're designed with built-in spandex and a pocket to hold your phone and wallet!

Promising review: "So lightweight and silky soft. Love the shorts under the flowing fabric, but especially love the hidden phone pocket. I bike, run, and play PICKLEBALL in these and they have been my staple for this hot summer. The colors are vibrant, and the fabric is breathable. I’m 5’8” 139 and wear a medium." —Chris and Bobby

Get them from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in 26 styles, women's sizes XXS–XXL, and two inseam lengths).

7. And a pack of three lightweight racerback tanks because the feeling of sleeves sticking to you when it's blazing hot out? No thanks. They're designed with large arm cutouts and sweat-wicking fabric, so you'll probably have 'em on rotation all season long.

Psst to anyone breastfeeding — many reviewers mentioned that the deep sleeves in this also made it easier to breastfeed at home!

Promising review: "I LOVE these shirts. I live in Arizona, where it is hot 50% of the year, and these are so nice and breezy! Great for working out and great for breastfeeding! I love that they’re dual-purpose for me. I went hiking with one on, and my friend liked it so much on me that she purchased some herself!" —Elizabeth

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in 14 color combos and women's sizes XS–XL; also available in single packs).

8. A beary adorablehandheld fan you wouldn't think has the power to keep you cool with how compact it is...but its 53,000+ 5-star ratings prove otherwise. Imagine you're hiking through Death Valley and pull this baby out — oh boy, are you about to be the most popular one there. Plus, it TRIPLES as a flashlight and portable charger, so this small but mighty thing can do it all.

Promising review: "I bought this fan to take on a trip to Japan. The trip was during the summer, which is just ridiculous heat and humidity. I'm from a hot climate and this heat was truly unreal. People, when I tell you that this fan SAVED me...I'm not kidding!

"I particularly enjoyed that the fan is also a flashlight (which I used on more than one occasion) and can charge your phone in a pinch! And it does, indeed, do both of these things really, really well! I used this for at least 8 hours straight every single day of a 15-day trip, and I charged it once (I'm not even sure I needed to). The charge on this thing is amazeballs.

"It might seem like it wouldn't do much, but this fan, and its two wonderful speeds, literally kept me from being overheated. Moving it around and not just focusing on my face was also helpful. In short, BUY THIS. Also, I wasn't even remotely the only person carrying one of these, from locals to other tourists. So as far as getting around in the extreme heat, no matter the continent, if you know, you know!" —La Cinema

Get it from Amazon for $14.39+ (available in six colors).

9. Or a hands-free bladeless personal fan that'll keep you cool on the beach, during hikes, or even while lounging around in your backyard. It's like a constant gentle breeze that'll actually make your time out in the sun a little enjoyable.

The rechargeable fan lasts for up to 16 hours, and it has six different speed settings. Reviewers say it's especially great for people who work outside all day and still need their hands free to do tasks.

Promising review: "Best thing I’ve bought in a very long time!! Living in Texas means HOT summers, and I hate always being so sweaty! This fan is a lifesaver, and everyone who has seen me with it has asked to try it and loved it. Buying a second one today. 👌🏼" —Laura W.

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three colors).

10. A bottle of eye drops because allergies are no joke (thanks a lot pollen) and you need those red eyes to clear up ASAP. Plus, these results can last for up to eight hours!

Promising review: "I can't remember the last time I wrote a product review but I feel compelled to do so for Lumify. My eyes are constantly red. I have been to eye doctors, taken prescription eye drops, tried every eye drop on the market, spent hours searching the internet for relief and alas, the redness remained. My chronic red eyes have been a source of embarrassment for many years with people routinely pointing out how tired I look or questioning if I'm high. I would be too self conscious at times to even hold eye contact!! I tried these drops, looked in the mirror...and I swear I heard the strumming of a harp from an angel. Life changing. It's been 7 hours since I tried the drops and I've been working on the computer and driving in bright sunlight. My eyes are still white!!! Like, unhumanly white. It's amazing!!!!!!!" —HaileyC

Get it from Amazon for $11.33.

11. An adjustable mister so instead of being attacked by waves of heat, you'll be hit with refreshing droplets of water. It'll cool down the area by up to 20 degrees so you can get your tan on without burning up. The pliable design means you can easily wrap it around another object or just stand it up on its own!

The mister comes with an interchangeable flower-shaped misting head for a fun, whimsical detail.

Promising review: "I didn't really expect this mister to be worth anything, but I was really wrong. I live in South Texas, so I purchased a canopy for my western facing patio and it was still to hot to sit outside. I thought I would give this a try and I couldn't believe it. We sat outside on a 98 degree day all afternoon with just this mister! It works perfect and well worth every penny I paid for it. If this one ever breaks, I will buy another one right away. It can be adjusted to how much mist come out. Even my dogs sit out under the canopy and let the mister spray them. I would never have another summer without one." —Sheila

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (colors may vary).

12. A pack of underarm shields because the summer heat and humidity is seriously no joke. Not only will these prevent sweat from going through your clothes, but they'll also help stop pit odors! So don't you worry — even if you're sweating buckets, your clothes can still smell like flowers and sunshine.

Amazon

Promising review: "I love these. I have a few cute summer dresses with sleeves — eeek! The first time I tried the shields it was 104 degrees at an outdoor event, and I was sweating bullets! The shields worked BEAUTIFULLY. Not a sweat stain in sight." —Cosmic Girl

Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $14.99.

13. A hydration backpack that you're going to fall in love with because you'll be able to sip on some water without having to pull out your clunky water bottle as you're trekking through the wilderness. Plus, reviewers love how roomy this bag is — they're able to pack all their essentials in here!

Promising reviews: "I bought this for a hiking trip to the Smoky Mountains and it did not disappoint! First, we hiked from 9 a.m. to about 5 p.m. for three days straight, using the bag on each hike. Some hikes were 12 miles, other hikes were less. We hiked in several different weather conditions: sunny/hot and cool/wet/rain. The bag performed perfectly. The first day hiking in the rain (for about 30ish minutes), I did not use the rain cover, and all of my items in the bag remained dry. The next day it rained more, so we used the rain cover, and it did its job and kept the whole bag dry. When we hiked in the heat, the water in the bladder remained cool. I was able to comfortably store my wallet, phone, keys, knife, two sandwich containers, two small bags of chips, and the full water bladder with room to spare. This one bag was used for me and my wife during hikes. The longest hike was up and down a mountain for a total of 12 miles, which took three hours up and 2 1/2 hours down. The water bladder ran out right when we got back to the bottom of the mountain. So, it should be plenty for one person; however, just enough for two." —Krusader171

"I purchased this in 2017; it’s still working perfectly well in 2025. I use it 5-7 days a week: day hikes, walks to the store, taking my lunch and water to work, and for my computer on road trips. All zippers and clips are still working. No complaints and will replace with another one if this one fails. I’m glad I didn’t spend 3x the price on a fancy name brand." —Ray Dawley

Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in two sizes and in 11 colors).

14. A picnic blanket with stakes because you're just trying to enjoy a nice, calm lunch at the park, but the wind has other plans for you. With four metal stakes you can just stick into the ground, you'll be eating peacefully instead of running to each corner to try to weigh them down.

Promising review: "This blanket is perfect for our camping! We use it inside our six-person tent as a cover for the floor between the cots. It cleaned up easily after we tracked in grass and dirt. It is water resistant, as claimed. Our dog spilled her water bowl; the water pooled on the top layer. We missed cleaning up some, and it soaked into the top layer over time, but it did not go through the bottom layer. I like the metal grommets for easy staking to the ground for the picnics or shoreside sitting area." —AMSs

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 13 patterns).

15. A pack of UV-sensing stickers, aka the silent version of your mom nagging you to put on sunscreen. You can stick them anywhere on your skin that's exposed (and needs sunscreen), and they'll darken when they detect UV rays, giving you a peaceful notification to reapply!

Promising review: "I'm multiracial with tan skin. I burn when it's intense, but I get a great tan otherwise. My 9-month-old is fair, fair, fair. Blue eyes and porcelain skin fair. I reapply my own SPF 50 after a few hours, but I'm not consistent. I've never been great about sunscreen, but I was not going to let my daughter get burned. We live in South Florida and just a walk or park time is a potential burning hazard. This is a great visual for me to reapply her sunscreen or make sure she gets in the shade. They're an absolute essential for parents, especially the 'sun goddess' type." —FlightLife

Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $16.49.

16. A set of claw-shaped hair clips because the last thing you want on a blazing hot day is your hair stuck to your sweaty neck (bleh). Just toss up your locks in one of these claws in seconds (even if you have long, thick hair!!!) and create a gorgeous hairdo.

My former colleague Ciera Velarde loves them! In her own words:

"I've owned this set for about a year and I am reaching for them constantly! I used to be someone who would tie my hair up in a messy bun whenever I'm doing things around the house, but I noticed how that would really start damaging my hair after a while. Instead, I just clip my hair back with one of these, and my long, thick hair stays in place without the claw jamming into my head. I have some other clips lying around that I should probably get rid of because I only ever exclusively use these!"

Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $7.59+ (available in 17 color/style combinations).

17. A sun visor with UPF 50+ that'll protect your eyes and face from the harsh sun and its harmful UV rays — there will be no burns this summer! Major bonus: Instead of your hair getting absolutely flattened like those hydraulic press videos, you'll be able to wear your hair up in a ponytail or messy bun thanks to the open top! And it's easily rolled up, which makes it perfect for packing while traveling.

Promising review: "I took this sun hat to Cancun. It was perfect! I love how it can roll up small to fit in luggage. The brim stays up and doesn’t flop around. It stayed on nice and snug with the adjustable Velcro closure even when it was windy out. It dries quickly and I love that I could wear it with a ponytail. This product was just like advertised. It’s the perfect traveling, sun hat!" —Emily

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in eight styles).

18. Cult-fave Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen that'll protect your skin with SPF 40. True to its name, it really is ~unseen~ and doesn't leave a white cast, and it's not greasy either!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown is a proud member of the Supergoop fan club:

"I've been using this sunscreen at least once daily since my mom gifted it to me two Christmases ago, and have every intention to keep using it for years. A dime-size amount covers my entire face, because it's translucent it leaves absolutely no white cast, and 10 minutes after putting it on, my face just feels like I applied a little bit of a nice moisturizer or makeup primer, not anything that's grease-central, like sunscreen usually is. After several years of stubbornly trying (and failing) to find a decent, oily-skin-friendly, non-greasy drugstore option, I've caved to this pricier kind because literally none of the six or seven other options I tried even compared to this.

"Every time I've worn makeup since I got it, I've been impressed by the way my matte foundation glides over it, looks with it, and lasts with it. You can see the texture and color in the photo above; it really does go on completely clear. And it's water- and sweat-resistant for 40 minutes!"

Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes and in either SPF 40 or 50).

19. Or! La Roche-Posay sunscreen to shield skin from harmful UV rays while helping prevent breakouts at the same time. This SPF 60 oil-free sunscreen is designed for acne-prone skin, absorbs excess oil, and reduces shine.

Amazon

Most reviewers say that this doesn't leave a white cast but a few have experienced it. Reviewers say that as long as you rub it in well, it won't be noticeable! Btw, this is oxybenzone- and octinoxate-free as well as fragrance-free.

Promising review: "I'm extremely fair-skinned so I need to wear sunscreen just to go outside. I just started using this brand and so far I really like it. The SPF coverage is great, it doesn't look or feel greasy and it lasts. It's also sheer enough to wear with your other skincare products. My skin is very sensitive and so far it hasn't caused any breakouts or skin issues that other sunscreens commonly do." —Ashley Stanton

Get it from Amazon for$19.99 (available in two sizes).

20. Or mineral powder sunscreen if you don't like icky, sticky goop being rubbed all around your face. Just dab the brush all over for a matte finish — it also works well as a makeup primer or setting powder! Reviewers also love it for their scalp because it doesn't make their hair greasy (and take it from me, your hair part will DEFINITELY burn if you don't protect it). Over 40,000 customers bought it in the past month, so what does that tell you?

Reviewers of all skin tones love this sunscreen!

Promising reviews: "We buy mineral powder sunscreen to use on my kids’ ears and mine and my daughter’s parts. We are all very fair, and without a hat, our scalp burns where our part shows. My kids refuse to wear hats a lot, and especially when they’re playing in water, so this is a must-have. This works well for that without leaving the oily residue that comes from using typical sunscreen. Might even be a helpful dry shampoo since it is a powder and can soak up some of the oil in your hair! Highly recommend!" —Caitlin

"I have brown skin and am always looking for sunscreen that doesn’t leave a white film. This actually sets my makeup and can be used on my neck and décolletage without adding color. This is affordable and it smells like going to the beach!" —Johanna

Get it from Amazon for $15.87.

21. A pack of towel bands, because don't you just hate when your towel flies away when you're not laying on top of it?! (And then you look silly chasing after it — ugh, first-world problems.) This nifty little rubber band will ensure that your towel stays put when you leave it alone to take a dip in the pool.

Amazon

Promising review: "Last-minute purchase for a trip to Jamaica. So happy I bought them. They always kept our towels on the chairs correctly. It was also easy to tell our chairs apart from others on the resort. Will definitely be recommending them to others." —RG

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four colors and another style).

22. A pair of beach socks that'll keep your precious feet protected from blazing hot sand and sharp rocks instead of feeling like you're walking on hot coals. You can also wear them into the water so every time your foot grazes against seaweed or algae, you won't scream bloody murder.

Promising review: "Water sports shoes save the bottom of my feet from being torn up by the pebble tech on the floor of my pool. It also protects feet from the intense Arizona heat on pool decks (yes, even pool decks get extremely hot in Arizona). I will definitely wear them when at the beach — walking on sand and in the ocean." —noslip

Get them from Amazon for $7.63+ (available in women's sizes 4–13.5, men's sizes 3–12, and various designs).

23. A cut-to-size aloe wrap so you can target your sunburn's most painful spots and get some sweet, sweet relief. It's infused with aloe vera, green tea, and vitamin E that'll not only reduce redness and that burning sensation but also hydrate your skin to minimize peeling.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I got absolutely FRIED at the beach this past weekend and tried everything under the sun (literally) to provide some relief for my sunburn. I was in so much pain, and every over-the-counter aloe gel, lidocaine, and cold shower was not helping. I found this wrap on my TikTok and immediately bought it. As soon as I put this on my burn, I was immediately relieved of any burning or irritation. I am wearing four patches right now, and I plan on wearing them all day, every day until this burn heals. I will say the only downside is they slip off the aloe has worn off! And it is a little bit hard to maneuver to cut since it is so slippery. But overall, I love this product and will be a forever customer!" —Nick

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

24. And a tube of Burt's Bees After Sun soother if people keep referring to you as Mr. Krabs after a long day under those strong UV rays. The aloe and coconut oil formula will calm burns and hydrate your skin so you don't wince every time your shirt touches your back.

This product is formulated without parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, or SLS.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this product for years now. My first trip to Costa Rica I had it and trust me when I tell you it’s saved my life. I live in Florida now and I never go anywhere without it. After any time in the sun you can use this and you can believe that your skin will be nourished and moisturized it will not hurt and your skin will not peel if used properly. I said your skin will not peel. I love this product for it." —Kenneth

Get it from Amazon for $9.03.

25. A sand-removal bag because the last thing you want during your relaxing beach day is to lie on all the sand you dragged onto your towel. The powder inside the bag absorbs moisture so the sand comes off effortlessly when you rub it on your body!

Amazon, Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed

Shakalo is a small business based in San Diego.

Promising review: "We recently moved to a beach area, and we are constantly there. This item has changed our entire lives! It lasts decently long (depending on how much you use it), it smells super good (not at all like baby powder), and it's super effective. It has saved me from vacuuming my car at least 1–2 times a week. And I even use it on my dogs paws and bellies to make sure they're taken care of too. I will definitely be buying the refill and another bag to have exclusively in the car." —Gabbs Uresti

Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

26. A pack of unscented antiperspirant wipes if "sweating buckets" don't even begin to describe your 'pits in the summer. Just wipe these under your arms or anywhere else that, um, "sparkles," and your sweat will be controlled for up to seven days!

Amazon

Psst — you should definitely patch test this on a small area of skin before putting it on to ensure you don't have any reaction!

Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok, and I decided to give it a shot since it was only like $20 for 10 wipes (that's 10 weeks, 2.5 months) of no underarm sweat. It worked! I was so happy to finally be able to wear all the shirts I own that are not black!" —Nes172011

Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (each box lasts over two months).

27. An anti-chafing balm because the last thing you want to worry about is your skin in the hush-hush spots itching and burning as you sweat. It's scent-free and glides on wherever your need it so your skin will stay silky smooth.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am a lifelong curvy lady whose thighs have rubbed together since the beginning of time, probably, so I’m no stranger to chafing. This morning I applied the balm to my inner thighs under a sundress and spent a day walking around in the heat and sunshine; it was hot, and I was sweating, but miraculously, my thighs felt fine! I applied the balm at around 11:30 a.m., and as I write my review, it’s almost 7:30 p.m., but my legs are going strong. Other parts of me have definitely reacted to being out and about, but not my thighs — without this stuff, they would be pink and tender, but they feel soft and happy. I am absolutely impressed. Long story short, this stuff absolutely worked for me; I plan to buy a larger size when this smaller one runs out. Don’t be a doubter like I was!" —Gina

Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

28. And a set of sexy anti-chafe lace bands if your thighs rub together more than a cricket rubs its legs — which creates that annoying itching and burning. Just slide these onto your legs and enjoy dress season without the chafing!

Reviewers do say that if you're between sizes (or even an exact number of inches that corresponds to a size), order down one so they stay!

Promising review: "These are fantastic! I've been using the deodorant style anti-chafing rubs and wanted a longer lasting option. Ding Ding ladies!! This is it! So comfortable I fell asleep in them! No marks, no uncomfortable 'digging in.'

"I did measure my thigh to get an accurate size rather than guessing, but it is definitely true to that measurement. And they do take some fine tuning to make sure that they don't roll, but once you find that spot, they don't move!! I got the lacy ones and they are sexy and soft to the touch with the silicone on the top and bottom. Highly recommended!!!" —A. Spencer

Get them on Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 20 styles and women's sizes S–3XL).

29. A mini first aid kit for all your boo-boos while you're out because the outside world can be dangerous. It's small enough to fit in any bag but this baby holds all first aid essentials. Fingers crossed that you'll never get hurt, but you should keep this in your everyday bag to give yourself peace of mind.

Amazon

Kit includes: one pair of scissors, 10 large bandages, 10 medium bandages, 10 round bandages, two pairs of plastic gloves, eight alcohol pads, four antiseptic cleaning wipes, 10 cotton buds, one roll of non woven tape, one metal tweezer, five safety pins, and one first aid booklet.

Promising review: "Very thin and lightweight! Fits anywhere and has SO much in it! I take it everywhere with me." —Genesis

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

30. A Bug Bite Thing (as seen on Shark Tank) to always keep with you in case those HORRIBLE bugs decide to attack you. Place the suction on top of your bug bite and 🪄abracadabra🪄 — it helps remove the venom that the evil bug left behind. No more swelling or itching, so you can go about your day without anything bothering you.

In addition to mosquitos, you can also use it to treat bites and stings from bees, wasps, biting flies, no-see-ums, chiggers, and sea lice.

Promising review: "I ordered the Bug Bite Thing in December after watching the Shark Tank episode. I live in the Northeastern US and have not had to use it until the spring weather arrived. No matter what I do, bugs find me, and to compound it, I usually have an allergic reaction. I have tried numerous anti-itch creams and natural remedies through the years, which treat symptoms but not the root cause. I ordered the Bug Bite Thing with skepticism but am very pleasantly surprised. I had a number of bug bites that I tried this on and the itching and swelling dissipated immediately! It works and without chemicals. I highly recommend!" —HappyDaisy547

Get it from Amazon for $6.97+ (available in five colors and multipacks).

31. Or some cooling gel patches because immersing yourself in nature when it's warm means mosquitos and that means itching. One of these will give you up to 12 hours of relief and a cooling treatment for your blisters, bug bites, minor burns, and more so you'll go from ughh to ahh.

Promising review: "I have problems with my fingertips cracking, especially in dry weather. Nothing seemed to help, and it can be painful and frustrating. I purchased these and some cohesive wrap bandages, and I am happy to say I have finally found the solution! They feel cool and spongy on a sore fingertip, providing a lot of relief. I used one yesterday, then put on another to sleep in, and when I woke up, my finger felt so much better and was almost healed. They do not stick well on their own on a fingertip, but that is not an issue for me; I just use the bandage. They might stick better on a flat area, but if not, just cover it with a bandage. I will never be without these." —JB

Get 200 pads for $28.99 (available in other pack sizes).

32. Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray that'll keep your hair frizz-free and shiny, even when there's humidity, rain, and heat. Nature doesn't stand a chance.

Promising review (for pic on the left): "LOVE this product sooooo much! I’m obsessed! I am of mixed race and have very curly frizzy hair naturally. Even with relaxer my hair has always had dry looking frizzy ends. I have tried so many different products but nothing else compares. Best by far!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review (for pic on the right): "I NEEDED to try this product after all the positive hype. It certainly did live up to my expectations. I went from balayage to a medium brown color with my hair. The bottom part of my hair was still very porous from the bleaching. After blow drying my hair where the blonde was it was never smooth. Not anymore! My hair is so smooth and healthy looking. I absolutely love this product and I highly recommend it. It has completely transformed my hair." —Lori

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes; sulfate-, gluten-, alcohol-, and paraben-free).

33. An outdoor fan because the summer breeze simply isn't enough to cool you off. This will circulate air AND prevent any bugs from lingering around.

This weatherproof fan has a fully sealed and permanently lubricated industrial motor to protect it against moisture.

Promising review: "Great fan at a good price! I bought this fan for my backyard to help circulate the air on hot days and to help deter mosquitoes at night around the firepit. This fan worked perfectly. It has three speeds, the highest of which is super strong. The fan at high speed is a bit noisy, but nothing unexpected of a powerful fan. It is also 100% waterproof, which is a must. My only minor issues would be 1) it would be nice if the fan came with a cover for when it’s not used, and 2) the fan is only adjustable up and down, not side to side. If they could make it oscillate, that would be great. Having said that, I would recommend this fan for sure and would not hesitate to buy it again." —Bigdad

34. A bag of Liquid I.V. electrolyte drink mix, aka your right-hand man this summer because it'll help you stay hydrated while sweating buckets in the sweltering heat. The best part about it is that nostalgic Popsicle Firecracker flavor (which includes cherry, lemon lime, and raspberry)!

Electrolytes replenish the minerals you sweat out, according to The Cleveland Clinic!

Promising review: "Liquid IV does an amazing job hydrating. I purchase their product for 40+ employees who work in a construction-related industry. Hydration is so important while working in the hot Georgia Sun, and this product aids in this 100%. Now, let’s talk about the Firecracker flavor! When we produced these for our crew, ages 23–60, all of their eyes lit up, and they were super excited. Many of them did not know this flavor existed. Quite honestly, I didn’t either until I came across them on Amazon. They all loved the flavor. In particular, the ones who were older kept telling me it tasted like their childhood. Seriously, who hasn’t stood outside an ice cream truck ordering the Firecracker Popsicle?" —Disney Diva

35. The Revlon Volcanic Face Roller because going outside in the heat means a face full of sweat. This soaks up any excess oil throughout the day, leaving your skin feeling fresh. The best part(s)? It can be used over a full face of makeup and is reusable, so you don't have to keep buying blotting papers!

Promising review: "I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good but you have to keep them around (aka keep replacing them) and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I keep one in my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom everyday." —Jennifer Helseth

36. An anti-blister balm to prevent, well blisters. During your long hikes, you'll want to keep this fairy godmother with you to save your poor feet through all the hardships they're going through.

Promising review: "Purchased two of these for our one-week Disney World trip. I knew I’d be walking around A LOT and my feet aren’t used to the many miles of walking a day in the hot and humid environment so I didn’t want to be uncomfortable. Happy to say I put it on once in the morning, slipped on some socks and comfy shoes and I didn’t get one blister or issue with my feet! Wish I knew about this a long time ago!" —Michelle

38. A set of trekking poles — you may not think you need 'em for your walks, but once you get to the declines, river crossings, and rocky terrains, you'll think otherwise. They're adjustable and come with interchangeable tips that are going to get you through your hike without a single fall (most likely)!

Promising reviews: "As a less than experienced hiker with horrible joints, I was very nervous to go on a hiking trip to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. I bought these hiking poles thinking they would shed some of the weight off my knees and ankles. I have NEVER enjoyed hiking more. These poles are my Roman Empire. They saved my life on multiple days and allowed me to keep up with more experienced hikers. They are lightweight and are adjustable in two places. I love them." —Sally

"Brought them to New Zealand, where they have been extensively used up and down rugged mountains, traversing thick native bush, and through multiple rocky fast-moving river crossings — these poles stood up to it all!!! They were super easy and quick to adjust to my needs, they are lightweight yet strong. Coming down steep, slippery, muddy slopes in rainy conditions, they kept me upright and saved me from slipping uncountable times. Plus, the handles didn't give me blisters or pain even after using them nonstop for three days in a row. The carry bag is a lovely bonus for storing either in my pack when not needed, or at home in between adventures." —Shells
