Just 48 Things For People Who Sweat Like It’s Their Full-Time Job In The Summer

BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-06-12 05:03

1. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder that'll stop shine in its tracks without having to dip into a coffee shop bathroom to touch up your makeup. It walks that fine (perfect) line of blurring and keeping you matter without making you look dull. 'Tis the season for your skin to come out of its dry cave and it's always a bit tough to find that perfect in-between!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I loved this setting powder, it blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim 

Get it from Amazon for $25

2. A portable handheld fan that's also a power bank *and* flashlight. So you'll be sure to find all sorts of uses for it. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the portable fan in action. 

Promising review: "This fan works so well, keeps me cool when I’m on the beach or sitting outside in the sun. The battery life is amazing but it takes a while to charge up." —Amanda Clerk

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors). 

3. Plus, a 360-degree portable neck fan for those sweltering days on the beach when you just seem to be pouring sweat — even in the shade of the umbrella. Just be sure to charge it with the USB before you pack your beach bag!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I spend several weeks a year in Orlando, and visit its theme parks regularly when I do so. When it's hot and humid outside, this portable fan has been a lifesaver. It holds its charge well and provides welcome relief to get me through the long walks and long waits that come with summertime park hopping. When I don't need it, it slips easily into my daypack. While it's only a fan, it does the job and is an affordable alternative to the cooling versions, which cost multiples more." —Arlene Wszalek

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in nine colors).

4. Plus a battery-operated flexible rotating fan that lots of reviewers use on strollers to keep babies cool. But it'll attach to all sorts of places like car seats, treadmills, tents, or even your WFH area to create a nice breeze. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "We live in Florida and realized how badly we needed a fan for our newborn. We use it pretty much on a daily basis. We put it on her car seat and on her stroller when we go on walks. I’ve even propped it up on our desk when I’m working and holding our daughter. The three speeds are great: low usually offers just enough of a cool down and high is very impressive because it’s fast and quiet. The lights we didn’t really need but has been a nice feature to have. Our daughter hates going in her car seat and this helps to distract her sometimes. Plus, since we live in Florida we have to wait to go on walks until later in the day and the light lets us be seen easier. Overall, it’s a great and I’d definitely recommend!" —EmLe

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three colors). 

5. A SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar for a K-beauty sun fix you can safely throw in your bag and then reapply on the go. It has a slightly curved bar for easier application (like in the GIF!) and matte effect, and won't leave a white cast in its wake. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar in action. 

Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned Black woman and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

Get it from Amazon for $17.02

6. A pack of clinical-strength SweatBlock wipes could come in handy for hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating any time of the year. But if summer really makes all that rear its ugly head, it's worth a try. You can apply it to your pits for bed and it's made to work for up to seven days. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

This stuff is STRONG so make sure you do a spot test first — especially if you have sensitive skin.

Promising review: "For anyone who might be skeptical, 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 pack of eight from Amazon for $19.99.

7. Or a clinical-strength antiperspirant if you've tried just about everything to stop sweating but you haven't found your holy grail yet. It has 12% aluminum chloride, which blocks sweat for up to 72(!!) dry hours.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Just got inside from 80-degree weather. I CANNOT believe I have no sweat marks. To be dramatic, this is life-changing. To be modest, this is life changing. Haha. I was always so embarrassed going anywhere! No matter the weather I was always dripping sweat from under my arms. I was always so self-conscious, leaving parties early, known as the sweater! No more! I’m seriously so excited about this." —Liz

Get it from Amazon for $5.67.

8. A cervical pillow with breathable memory foam if you're a hot sleeper and always seem to wake up on a sweaty pillow. This'll cradle your head and neck in a gentler way than a regular pillow. Also, it comes with an Arc-Chill pillowcase!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

It's also adjustable — if you find it too high, you can remove the memory foam piece at the bottom. If you find it too low, contact the brand and they'll provide an extra insert.

Promising review: "I know it's hard to switch from your favorite pillow, but once you switch to this product, you will not regret it. I purchased this because I was having neck pain and it did help. I then found out I had to have cervical disc replacement and have not used anything but this pillow since surgery, and it has helped me so much. By the end of the day, my neck is tired and sore, but when I lay down on this it takes all the pressure off and immediately relaxes my neck. Not to mention the cooling effect it has is wonderful. It stays cool all night long." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for$35.99

9. A bag of Liquid I.V. electrolyte drink mix, an electrolyte drink mix infused with potassium and vitamin C you can stir into a bottle of water to help speed up your hydration. After all, if you're sweating all day you may not be drinking as many liquid as you should (or drinking too many beers instead of water). And! This one tastes like Firecracker Popsicles!

www.amazon.com

FYI, depending on your situation, water may be enough to rehydrate you! Read more about electrolyte-enhanced drinks and hydration at 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

Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $24.99.

10. Corsx Acne Pimple Master Patches that'll attack and help flatten out painful blemishes that tend to pop up more in sweaty summer weather. They suck out the gunk without irritating your skin around the blemish like drying treatments.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Omg, where has this been my whole life? Why did nobody talk about hydrocolloid patches when I was a teen? These truly do shrink your pimples (as long as it is an open or popped one). I just put one on before bed and by morning, voilà! All that's left is a small bump, if anything at all. I seriously couldn't believe my eyes. (All those years of suffering from acne! I'm in my 30s now with hormonal acne, btw.) These are magic!" —Julie W.

Get a four-pack of 24 patches each from Amazon for $13. Check out our full Cosrx Acne Pimple Patches review!

11. A reusable sand eraser that'll easily dust off all that stuff stuck to you when you're finally being dragged away from the beach. Now you won't have to worry about making your car (or shower) feel like a sandbox and deal with an uncomfortable journey home. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

I actually just bought one for myself because I love going to the beach. But living in New York City means I have to ride a ferry or a subway to and from the beach. So it's even better to get as MUCH sand as possible off of me before my hour-long journey home. Always worth it, though!

Promising review: "This is a great product and gift for a beach lover. Works great and is a decent size for brushing away the sand after an amazing day at the beach! Going to buy it as a gift!! Easy to use and affordable!" —Sue Krauser 

Get it from Amazon for$13.99

12. AnI Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo in a range of hair colors to tackle greasy roots without the aerosol or benzene formula. I've been packing this for flights where I carry on only and this little puff is EFFECTIVE. Like, I went to New Orleans in late May with a blowout I was trying to make last. This kept my oily roots matte again! It's LEGIT. 

Amazon

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 $19.99

13. A stick of Gold Bond Friction Defense can stop chafing caused by sweat before it even starts. It's sooo good and better than any other competitor in the thigh-saving category. But really. I have thick thighs and swear by it!

Amazon

My former colleague Ciera Velarde is a huge fan! Here's what she has to say: 

"I've used it for about 12 years now and it's the only thing that I can trust to prevent that dreaded chafing after a sweaty day of walking around. It glides on perfectly, it's unscented, and it doesn't melt away when you start to sweat. If it's a particularly hot day out, it can start to fade after a few hours, so just make sure to bring it with you to reapply. In addition to preventing chafing between my thighs, I've also applied it on my arms where my sports bra rubs against them when I run and it works like a charm!"

Promising review: "Whoooo sometimes I feel as if a fire is going to start between my fat thighs, but with this stuff they just glide right on by each other, it has been a summer lifesaver. Only thing is you have to pack it on and reapply maybe four hours in, so bring it along for the ride. I will be buying again." —Ash

Get it from Amazon for $6.

14. Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray to stave off frizz and give you a glass-like sheen thanks to its anti-humidity powers. Even in the nastiest of weather. AND it's formulated for its effects to last through several washes. (Something to which I can attest.) 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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 $26.60 (also available for curly hair; sulfate-, gluten-, alcohol-, and paraben-free).

15. A set of DEET-free handy mosquito-repelling bracelets in case the thought of putting something else on your skin (like smelly bug repellent) sounds like a total nightmare. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the mosquito-repelling bracelets in action. 

Promising review: "I moved last year from Southern California to North Carolina. Bugs of all types have always been attracted to me but the amount of bites I got last summer was WILD. Someone gave me one of these types of bracelets to use one day and it seemed to work SOOOOOO I decided to buy myself an arsenal to prepare for this summer. I read the reviews and about 99% of them had great results. I've only used this bracelet twice but both times I was outside and un-touched. Delivery was very quick so that was a plus. I'm not fond of the smell, I'm hyper sensitive to smells, but I'd rather have the odor than being chewed alive." —Tracey Agopian

Get a 10-pack from Amazon for$8.49

16. A cooling mattress pad reviewers rave about because it's truly awful to get ready for bed and then lie there, unable to sleep because you're too hot. This'll set you up for sleep success. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Unbeknownst to me, my wife decided to replace our mattress with the hardest slab of concrete on which I've ever had to sleep. I ordered this cover hoping for a tiny bit of relief. From the first night it exceeded all my hopes and dreams, I was able to sleep again, it doesn't slip off even with my tossing and turning, and it stays cool. This mattress cover probably saved my marriage. Thank you!" —michael ervin

Get it from Amazon for $28.82+(available in sizes Twin–California King). 

17. A silk pillowcase that have a soothing, cooling effect. But! These'll stick around in your bedding mix during cold weather, too, because silk doesn't suck moisture from your hair and skin like cotton pillowcases do. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I'm not one to usually write reviews, but I LOVE this pillowcase. It's easy to clean and it has helped my acne so much. Cloth pillowcases absorb oil and bacteria, this one has been helpful in controlling breakouts as well as being very cooling. If you get hot at night, I definitely recommend this pillowcase. It stays cool and you don't have to keep flipping over your pillow to the cool side with this pillowcase." —Patricia Upton

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).

18. A lightweight two-piece tank top and shorts set with drawstring shorts and a ruffled crop top in airy fabric. I wore this walking around Cagliari, Sardinia, and down ~700 stairs to a cave (and then promptly back up) so I can attest it makes for excellent photo ops *and* is airy enough for such activities. 

Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed, Amazon

Yes, that is ME wearing this set on the way back up from said cave. Since returning home, I wore it to a Yankees baseball game, a long July weekend in Lisbon, and in Boquete, Panama!

Promising review: "I got so many compliments when wearing this set on vacation in Hawaii! The top is very comfortable and cropped at just the right length. The shorts were a little see through, but for the price they were very comfortable." —Courtney Smith

Get it from Amazon for $32.99(available in sizes XS–XL and in 13 colors/patterns). 

19. A set of cooling towels you'll start taking with you everywhere this summer (and then, perhaps, in other seasons too). You simply wet one, wring it out a bit, and then drape it around your neck or anywhere else you run hot to experience its ~cooling~ super powers. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I saw these recommended on a TikTok for disabled people who can't regulate their temperature in the heat, and omg, was it worth buying them. You just add cold water and it's like an ice pack without the burning of the ice. They worked great for cooling my arm after the COVID shot! Excited to use them all summer!" —Muirgen Neal

Get a set of four from for $19.99+(available in 12 color combos). 

20. A set of popular wickaway sweatbands to rock during workouts, but maybe also just on days when you know you'll be outside awhile and suh-WEATING. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I wasn't certain if these would work for me or not. Since they aren't cotton, they're spandex, I thought they'd slip easily. You know what? They didn't. They not only didn't slip, but I love the colors. I love them so much I'm going to purchase the same style headbands from them but in different colors!" —Teresa T

Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $13.99.

21. *Solid* Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen that'll really stick to your skin on your tropical (or just plain sweaty) vacation. Oh, and because it's a solid, it's carry-on–friendly!

Amazon

I first bought this for a weeklong Croatian vacation in 2021 when I did carry-on, and as long as you are *thoroughly* reapplying, this stuff stays on pretty well. On a beach club afternoon, I did haphazardly reapply and missed a strip on one arm, but I tend to do that with spray-on or lotion sunscreen, too. Since then, I've packed this for any trip I've been on, including a two-day Disneyland trip where I toted this around in my bag and shared with friends. I sometimes carry it with me in my purse on my everyday adventures because I know it's so easy to apply. Also worth mentioning...I am about the palest lady you've ever seen and swear by daily application of sunscreen. But when on a beach trip, I'm constantly swimming in the water and sweating. So yeah, this stuff works. 

And if you're a bit hesitant about jumping on the solid sunscreen bandwagon, you can pack a stick of this, knowing you have enough sun protection to get you through to finding some spray-on or lotion SPF at your destination. 

Promising review: "I bought this right before a Florida beach trip this month. Of course after a long winter, the Florida sun can be very intense and concerning. I use this on my face. It doesn’t break me out and has perfect coverage. Twice applied during a 3-hour beach outing, did not burn at all. After a few days of this routine, my face is perfectly bronzed." —Mflowers

Get it from Amazon for $10.17.

22. Or if you prefer a cream, Neutrogena Dry-Touch SPF 70 Sunscreen because sunscreen is ALWAYS a good idea and this formula is designed to be matte and quick-absorbing. Plus, it's fine for your face and body! 

www.amazon.com

Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

Promising review: "This sunscreen is well worth it. I used it all summer and never got burnt. It lasted tanning, swimming, and walking around outside every day. I would reapply it every hour or so to ensure coverage. It is really lightweight and doesn’t feel like a thick sunscreen. It had a nice, subtle smell that wasn’t overpowering. I am happy I got so many bottles to last the summer, and the slim packaging was nice to take in a bag. I will be getting it again!" —Savannah

Price: $8.88+ (available in multipacks, SPF 100, and SPF 30 versions) 

23. A Revlon volcanic stone face roller to remove oil and shine from your face. And unlike oil-blotting sheets, the ball can be popped out and washed so you can use this over and over and over again.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. Not only is it affordable, but it's also washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful. It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep. After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pick up everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B.

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

24. *Though* if you can never break up with the OGs, a pack of blotting papers is one of those skincare products you'll always find room for in your bag or pocket. (I know I do! And specifically buy this brand's in bulk over and over again.) 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've had oily skin my whole life and used countless types of oil blotting sheets because they're lifesavers. THESE ARE AMAZING. Great deal, big sheets, and they pull out one at a time so easily. Give these a try — completely worth it. They work well and are easy to use." —Kelsey

Get a 100-sheet pack from Amazon for $6.95 (available in three scents).

25. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers to pair with your body sunscreen so there's someone besides you and your pal who're wading in the waves to remind you that, uh, yes, you do need to reapply! Oh and they last for 12 hours. (Yes, they REALLY stick.) Once a sticker turns colors, it's time to reapply. 

www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the sunscreen stickers in action. 

Promising review: "Just used this product on a recent trip to Florida. I made sure to wash my skin before application and it lasted about two days on my skin without coming off. When out of the sun or behind UV glass, like in a car, the spot turns clear. As soon as you step into the sun it turns purple. If you use a sunblock it starts to become clear or semi clear. After being on the beach and having gone into the water a few times the spot started seeing purple and I applied sunblock again. In a minute the spot was clear again. So this is very effective In alerting me when to reapply." —RGTorque

Get two 16-counts from Amazon for$25.99+ (also available as a 48-count). 

26. A hot or cold therapy hat you can put in the fridge before bedtime to cool down your noggin. It's made for migraine relief, but tons of reviewers love it otherwise. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is the perfect sleep mask — pressure on eyes is comfortable and not overbearing. It'll block out all light. The nose zone doesn't obstruct or cause discomfort. It cools in the freezer fast. Two-hour freeze and putting this on is like a dive into cold water. Chilling it in the refrigerator instead of a freezer is excellent! Sleeping with it on is easy, and it doesn't shift. You get a 360 cooling effect. Yep, wipe out a headache or a hot night. Genius!" —C. A. Yeager

Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in three colors).

27. Carpe Antiperspirant Hand Lotion for anyone who suffers from constantly sweaty hands who REALLY notices it in the summer. It's recommended by dermatologists and the reviews are FULL of believers.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve been pretty impressed with this cream. I have hyperhydrosis which mostly affects my hands and feet. I take an oral medication fort condition but I still have sweating sometimes which is why I decided to try this lotion. I’ve been using this product mostly on my feet about three times a week for a little over a month now. This cream has a slight smell but it’s nothing awful at all. I’ve noticed a little bit goes a long way. Before bed I put the cream on the bottoms on my feet. It doesn’t really leave any residue. It almost makes my feet instantly feel dry. I have definitely noticed that it helps maintain minimal sweating without any crazy side effects. I’ve also used this on my hands as well. This is a product that actually does help with my hyperhidrosis and I’ll definitely be ordering more when I run out!" —Lauren p.

Get it from Amazon for $19.95.

28. Lavilin Foot Deodorant Cream because you can't forget about your poor sweaty feet too! This sensitive skin-friendly formula is made to last up to seven days.

Get it from Amazon for $19.08.

Get it from Amazon for $18. 

30. ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starr 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray in case you have a lot of requirements for your made-up look. Like, you wanna actually dip in the pool but stay looking matte while you lounge poolside beforehand. 

Sephora

Promising review: "This setting spray locks my make up in, great for menopausal women too cause the makeup doesn't fade off. I sweat on my forehead and nose area and my makeup stays on all day." —shelop

Get it from Sephora for $17+ (available in two sizes; vegan and cruelty-free).

31. Or a Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder in case sprays aren't your thing but you need something to keep the sweat off the beautiful masterpiece of your face.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

I own, use, and love this. Plus, it's in a HUGE container and lasts for what feels like forever.

Promising review: "Great for baking (setting) under eye concealer (or concealer anywhere). Also, if I start sweating during my foundation application, I lightly dust this powder on my skin and the sweating not only stops then, but it will pretty much keep it at bay for the rest of the day.

The powder does have a slight scent to it which doesn’t bother me however no one has told me that I smell like something different or powdery since I’ve been wearing it." —jillianmaxmillian

Get it from Amazon for $4.49+ (available in six shades).

32. OGX Locking + Coconut Curls Air Dry Cream for a great, affordable scrunch-and-go option with legions of fans to back up that claim. Might as well embrace the inevitable and let your natural texture shine through because you know after sweating a bit your hair is going to start curling anyway. (I know that life.) 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I put some in my hair for the first time today and I'm impressed! I towel dried my hair and then put about a quarter size in my palm and spread throughout my hair, scrunched my hair, and then let it air dry. I think it did a good job at defining my waves and eliminating the serious frizz." —ninjamommy

Get it from Amazon for $6.97.

33. Kaia Naturals The Sweat Powder Sakura Blossomwill pair well with natural deo in that it helps absorb sweat and keeps you smelling sweet throughout the day. It's especially great to travel with or throw in your gym bag. This talc-free formula is inspired by athletic chalk. 

Credo

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim. I have not been disappointed. It is great for extra freshness on a hot day. A gym bag must." —Anne D.

Get it from Credo Beauty for $29.

34. Rimmel Stay Matte Mattifying Primer to give you a smooth finish that'll stay that way for so much longer.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product works!! I have extremely oily skin which means my face is super shiny within minutes of applying foundation. The second photo is without primer, a few hours after applying foundation….you can see all the shine on my forehead. The first photo is with primer six hours after applying foundation….hardly any shine! I believe in the product so much that I gave a tube to my friend who also has oily skin and she absolutely loved it and uses it now! For the price, you can beat it compared to the expensive brands that are way more expensive and only a fraction of the size." —S. Rodriguez

Get it from Amazon for $6.71.

35. A hair color kit can help you touch up roots, cover grays, or tint eyebrows instead of going to the salon. It's a little bit of effort BUT the reviews and review pics are *quite* compelling. This is a nice brow-filling alternative for when you'd rather not with makeup and instead concentrate on which boat excursion you're taking on your Greek Isle trip. Plus! It's cheaper than getting your brows tinted professionally. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have bold brows but as I near age 40, there are some parts (especially the inner corners and arches) that are thinning out. This will save me two trips to get my brows tinted (I’ll still go twice a year for the shaped threading, but will cut my annual visits from four to two, and will do my own tinting moving forward). Will buy again. Going to try on my lashes next time and will update my review then." —Bethany Kirk

Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in four colors).

36. An ultra-fine continuous water mister will refresh your hair in the morning after you've slept on it. Let's keep that air-dry style looking fresh instead of using more time, water, and hair products on a whole wash!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Used for wetting my 2-year-old's hair. Could have used it for crafts, could have used it for misting plants, so many things. It’s super durable, I know because she dropped it a million times. You don’t need to refill it every day, it doesn’t use a lot of water in each spritz but it does feel like it. Incredibly smooth. Would buy again (and I will because I left it at my sister's while traveling)." —Savannah

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four sizes). 

37. A cooling body sprayas a welcome relief for anyone who runs hot or just spends a lot of time outdoors.

It's made with pure essential oils, water, and witch hazel.

Rooted Earth is a Maine-based small biz established in 2013 that specializes in small batch skincare and herbal apothecary goods.

Promising review: "This spray is so lovely and refreshing! It smells fantastic, seems to be genuinely very high quality, and helps so much with cooling off (I run hot and find heat stressful). The packaging was also adorable and handmade, which made me feel like a valued customer :)." —April Wilson

Get it from Rooted Earth on Etsy for $8.99+ (available in three sizes).

38. Some flowy shorts could be the minimum (but adequate) amount of fabric to wear when it feels like summer has hit its peak, only for you to be unpleasantly surprised the next week when the heat index is about 10 degrees hotter. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These shorts are so light and airy! They are so comfortable. The only downside is that they do run small, I would size up by one size. I wore them to the beach and they were perfect for hanging out when I didn’t plan on getting in the water!" —Reese Elder

Get them from Amazon for $13.50+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 29 colors).

39. Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Toner to target clogged pores and blackheads *but* reviewers who came for that have also found that it helps treat their rosacea! (Yeah, rosacea also doesn't do too great in the heat and sweat either.) 

Amazon

Promising review: "I love this stuff. I have had skin issues my entire life — bad acne, rosacea, dry skin, enlarged pores — and this has cured all of that. After just two weeks, my skin is almost flawless. I’m very sensitive, so some nights I add a thicker moisturizer instead of serum and it works like a dream. Buy this!!" —Caroline

Get it from Amazon for $26.

40. A Neutrogena makeup eraser stick can let you do a quick touch-up on that eyeliner wing that you can't get right or your sweat already smeared before it was set. And it's small enough that you can throw it in your bag on the reg. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? For years, I’ve been using cotton swabs dipped in makeup remover to remove little goofs or mistakes. This is so much better and portable! Erases waterproof mascara marks around my eyes easily. Must-buy product!!" —Katherine Riordan

Get it from Amazon for $7.97

41. Kitsch Microfiber Hair Towel that'll gently sop up water while you go about your day. It's lightweight but hard working so you can get closer to either the dreaded hairdryer session or putting in some product and letting your hair finish by air-drying. 

www.amazon.com

I own this beaut in this pattern, a polka dot print, and a tropical leafy print. I swore by the Turbie Twist for awhile (which is closer to an actual towel) but this microfiber fabric is far gentler on hair. Plus it feels lighter on my head/neck, which is great news for someone like me taking lunchtime showers while working from home and putting off blow drying my hair for as long as possible. It has elastic along the edges that helps it wrap around my head comfortably, and a stretchy loop at the front that I can twist back and put on a large button at the back of my head. Suffice it to say, it's super user-friendly. I can easily throw it in the wash with the rest of my towels and hang it up on a bathroom door hook to let it dry between uses. I wish I bought three of these years ago.

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in 13 patterns).

42. A pack ofDr. Frederick's Original Better Blister Bandages made with hydrocolloid to not only avoid rubbing existing blisters, but also to help heal them. 

www.amazon.com

Here's what BuzzFeed staffer Emma Lord has to say about them: "As a blister-prone human, I swear by these. A few years ago, before I invested in these running socks that prevent blisters, I got a blister on my big toe so unspeakably large and painful that I am cringing even TYPING about it, and no amount of rest from running seemed to heal it; it just kept coming back. I finally used one of these bandages, and the pain was virtually gone from the moment I put it on. It was also so airtight that nothing got inside, and it didn't loosen in the shower. You're supposed to take it off when it loses adhesive so it can come off gently without disturbing the blister if it hasn't fully healed yet. After using two of these in a row over the course of a week and a half, my blister was finally healed up enough that it stopped coming back."

Promising review: "I got a big heel blister while breaking in some new work boots. It would have been painful to keep wearing the boots with a traditional Band-Aid. These Dr. Frederick's heel bandages work like magic. They are literally like a padded extra layer of skin. Put one on and you can't even feel the blister anymore. Could put the boots back on and go right back to work. And they fit so well, that towards the end of the healing period I forgot and even took a shower with it on and still stuck on fine. Like I say, like an layer of temporary skin." —Kevin Weatherman

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four varieties). 

43. e.l.f. Hydrating Face Primer that, according to reviewers, will set up your face for smooth application and then keep it looking matte once said makeup is applied as you like it. Give this affordable option a go before spending double-digits on luxury primers. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This stuff is a holy grail for me. Same smooth, poreless matte finish I'm used to in higher-end primer, but for my dry flaky skin, this gives me so much moisture that doesn't change how my makeup wears." —K2G2

Get it from Amazon for $8 (vegan and cruelty-free).

44. OC Eight Professional Professional Anti Shine Mattifying Gel can layer on underneath makeup to trap facial oils, reduce shine, and even out skin tone for ALL skin types for up to eight hours. (Cue the Reba theme song.) 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My face laughs at rice powder, oil blotters, and other paltry means. I decided to jump in head first and try it the first day with NO BASE MAKEUP AND NO POWDER. I did as was recommended on the box to apply and then moved on about my day. It doesn’t last eight hours. But I can tell you that it fully lasted four hours and after eight hours, my face was markedly less oily than it was without it. Which for someone who truly struggles with oily skin is a godsend. The pic is (from left) without oil control after about eight hours, then after I put it on this morning, then about four hours in and then about 10 hours in. 😱" —Crystal S. 

Get it from Amazon for $30.

45. A set of affordable, highly popular *waterproof* wireless Bluetooth earbuds some reviewers compare to AirPods for significantly cheaper. Cheers to listening to your backlog of podcasts while sweating your butt off and staring at the ocean.

www.amazon.com

These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge). 

I also use these on the reg in my everyday life to listen to Spotify and podcasts, and even talk on the phone. I have to charge them about once a week and always keep them in my coat pocket. 

Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" —Katlyn D Arnold

Get it from Amazon $22.09+ (clip the "15% off coupon" on the product page for this price; available in five colors).

46. A super portable, sturdy beach umbrella that reviewers say withstands the wind and will provide you a bit of shade — even if you find yourself hanging outside in other places like the park.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It comes with sandbag anchors and steaks for reinforcement, an adjustable pole that can be tilted, and its own carrying bag. 

Promising review: "We live in Maui, Hawaii, and wind gusts on the beach can exceed 50 mph some days. The wind also changes direction constantly and never comes from just one direction. We have spent over $500 trying to find various combinations of anchors, umbrellas, and tie downs, and NOTHING has worked until these bad boys. We bought one initially and tested it out on a VERY windy day and were super impressed. It never once became inverted or blew over. Meanwhile, the other umbrella we were using that day broke. Needless to say, I have since bought two more so we can have ample shade for my husband, my dog, and myself." —Beth

Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in blue or orange). 

47. Or a fancy umbrella that reviewers love for their patio but *also* take along to the beach. Yes, your beach setup could use a bit of fringe. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Beach State is a small business specializing in premium, high-quality beach umbrellas. 

Check out aTikTok of the umbrella in action. 

Promising review: "This umbrella is exactly what my family was looking for as our everyday beach umbrella — large diameter, high quality, and cute retro design. It is a higher end umbrella but still slightly less expensive than the other big name designer beach gear company that we were considering. It is easy to pop up and stays standing, and we’ve had many compliments from other people at the beach asking where we got it. The customer service from the company was excellent. Would definitely recommend these umbrellas!" —Taryn

Get it from Amazon for $165(available in seven colors). 

48. A pair of Thigh Society cooling shorts WITH a built-in pocket can save your inner thighs during that sunset walk on the beach.

thigh Society

Promising review: "These are perfect for under dresses, even in the hot, humid summer. The pocket is perfect to slip my phone in so I can be hands-free. Great quality! I have two pairs, one black and one beige." —Amanda Martinez

Get it from Thigh Society for $39+ (available in women's sizes XS–2XL, four lengths, and in nine colors).
