When a heat wave hits, your freezer should be stocked with this XL gel ice pack, cooling eye mask, and face roller.

I'm a BuzzFeed Shopping writer who covers everything from home and organization to travel and gifting, and I'm passionate about staying on top of the latest beauty trends (especially K-beauty) as well as tracking down affordable products for a luxe lifestyle.

These wipes should be used externally only.

Promising review: "I LOVE these wipes. They help me feel so fresh when I have gotten a little sweaty while out and about and cannot shower. Also, the cooling effect when you're hot it so nice!" —Stephanie L. Bunnell

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

Promising review: "This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65 degrees outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you thank you thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for" —Niko

The rechargeable fan lasts up to nine hours on the lowest speed (or three hours on the highest), and it has three 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.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes loves this thing: "It came in a day early (TY Amazon), which just so happened to be a 90+ degree day, and I was headed to a baseball game. When I tell you this thing came in clutch!! Even on the lowest setting, it provides a really great breeze around the neck and lower face, and it was enough to keep me from sweating. It also stayed on my neck just fine while walking around; I never felt like it was going to slide off. At the same time, it's not heavy; you genuinely forget it's there, in the best way. I passed it around to all my friends to try, and they were equally blown away (no pun intended) and did not want to hand it back to me, lol. Seriously, I'm bringing this to any music festival, concert, or other outdoor event with serious sweating potential from now on."

Promising review: "This fan works so well! I was worried with how hot it is in the South that it wouldn't keep me cool when I go on walks in 90+ degree temps, but on the strongest wind setting it produces a nice blast of air! I love it! It does make it hard to hear, but it's worth it to keep me cool. Would recommend." —Aaron Johnson

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 $19.97 (also available in packs of two or three boxes).

Promising review: "This is an excellent ice pack for injuries, but I also found it to be surprisingly useful when it was really hot this summer and the power was out as a result of a recent hurricane. Sitting and laying on the ice pack really cooled me down and felt amazing!! At the time, I wished that I had bought more than one." —E. J. Tompkins

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

Promising review: "I work the night shift, and I am a very hot sleeper. This product helps keep any light that may work its way through the blinds but also helps to keep me cool while I try to sleep. I’m so happy with this item. I bought two." —Stacy S

Naturium is a staple in my body care regimen, so when I found out about this version, I knew I needed it immediately. I live in Georgia, and ever since I started using this body wash I've noticed a significant reduction in body odor throughout the day whether I'm outdoors gardening or doing my daily Hot Girl Walk. The scent is so light and fresh, and the cooling sensation is especially appreciated.

Promising review: "When I say this works for BO, it’s magic. For someone living in a hot state, work in a hot job, always working out and sweating, this product keeps you in check ALL DAY! No skin irritants, no dryness, and I feel clean. The mint isn’t strong so you can feel the tingle, but not for long. I let it sit on my skin for at least three minutes before rinsing off. Best soap ever! I will continue to use this. Forget Dove antibacterial, forget Dial, BUY THIS!" —Shelby

Psst — this is your golden opportunity to stock up and ensure you're covered SPF-wise the rest of the summer!

Promising review: "This is my favorite sunscreen. It works great, doesn't feel sticky or greasy on your skin, and so far has been actually waterproof for swimming in the river. The three-pack is perfect for keeping one in the river bag, one in the car, and one in the house. I've also sprayed it on my hand and rubbed it on my face when I forgot my face cream sunscreen, and it didn't sting my eyes. I was pleasantly surprised. Overall, I would recommend!" —Traquy

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

This deodorant doesn't contain aluminum or baking soda.

Promising review: "The Dove body deos are the best. Not only do they work as a deodorant even after a long workout, but they also serve as an anti-chafe stick. No more rash from my Apple Watch or from clothes rubbing on my skin on a hot day or during a workout. I combine this with the Dove Glycolic Serum Wash which seems to work perfectly together to keep me smelling great. I’ll never switch, I love this stuff." —J.S.

Many reviewers also say it helps reduce puffiness on their face when used in the morning.

Promising review: "Well made for the price. I find it’s helpful in the morning for puffy eyes. It’s great to use after a workout in sunny Florida. I use it to cool down and reduce redness after exercising." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in eight colors).

Promising review: "Well made, accurate sizing and CUTE! Every influencer was right, this was a perfect fit! I’m in my 40s. Comfortable to get on and wear! I ordered my usual size with no problem and the suit came in quickly." —Sabian

Get it from Amazon for $26.59+ (available in women's sizes 4–18 and 12 styles).

Reviewers with bigger boobs do suggest sizing up (unless you want more of a cleavage-y look). Also, if you *want* to buy new bottoms, check these out.

Promising reviews: "I'm in love! I'm from Brazil and we manufacture the most amazing bikinis in the world. And this one came really close to that! I always worry about if my boobs are showing and am attentive to if it’s too loose, and this one straps perfectly and it’s firm and the color is beautiful and faithful! And for the price???? AMAZING!" —momo

"I'm a 34D and wanted to show my boobs off. Great coverage, no nip slips, good cleavage, no side boob, and as the pic shows, the cutouts on the bottom and middle are placed well for a bit of an underboob moment. The material is comfortable, kinda soft for swimsuit material, and the straps lace in the back, so it's great for lifting the boobs up, or however you want to wear it. They are also convertible from regular to crisscross. Thinking of buying in other color options." —Sydney Goodnight

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 18 styles).

Promising reviews: "With hot flashes and Florida heat, these pajamas have been a great help in sleeping through the night. The fabric is actually cool to the touch. Very comfortable." —mrssmith

"These are the ones I have been searching for! I have not been sweating at all since I started wearing them (I'm 49 and get hot flashes during the night) or at least waking up with damp clothes. The only thing I don't like is that they take forever to air dry because of the pocket construction. Other than that they seem well made and are super comfortable! I'm getting a second pair so I can rotate them for plenty of drying time." —Greg Ruth

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes S–4X and 20 colors).

Promising review: "It gets to be over 100 degrees in the summer where I live. These come in handy when working in the yard, at the beach or even at the county fair when it's super hot. What a relief these are to use when the weather is hot. I've purchased these many times because I always seem to give them out especially to those that work outside in the heat (mail carrier, pool guy, landscaper...) and they are always very appreciative." —Realfoodmama

Get a set of four from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 10 color sets).

Promising reviews: "I love the color and the cool silky texture. Great for summer sleeping and hot flashes. Love these." —Annetta

"I've been using these pillowcases for about a week now and I have to say that they have really seemed to help my hair not be so frizzy when I wake up! I live in a hot and humid climate and my hair normally just makes my life awful this time of year (summer). I have been trying a couple of new things to help my hair, like using Moroccan Oil on the ends and these pillowcases and it's really a lot better. I also feel better about sleeping on my side now and don't worry so much that I'm creating wrinkles. I would definitely buy these again and recommend them!" —R. Spann

Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 36 colors and four sizes).

Promising review: "So cute for my trip to Hawaii!! They hold up my thick hair with ease, and they are the perfect size. Also, as a bonus, they work great to hold open curtains as cute room decor. They are a thicker plastic, so they are durable and don't feel like they will be breaking any time soon." —anonymous

Promising review: "Deployed to the desert. Started doing long runs, and I ordered this, not sure what to expect. Turns out, this item is freaking awesome. What's great is you are not limited to what hat you have to wear. I have paired mine with a North Face running hat, and it has been great at keeping me cooler than I thought it would. I honestly thought it would feel closed in, like it was holding in heat, but it actually feels great. Plus, the fact that it's easily removable is nice for easy storage. Small, light, easy on and off, easy to pack, works great, what's not to love?" —happy bill

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these: "I recently bought these shorts because I needed some more breathable summer options, and they're phenom! I love the huge array of colors you can buy these in. (At other places they often sell out too quickly to get to pick!) I love that the high-waistedness of them meets about where my running crop top ends so I don't have to get bonkers with sunscreen, and love love loooooove the side pocket for my keys or face mask. I only have them in purple so far, but I'm excited to try other colors!"

Promising review: "LOVE these shorts. 🥰 I live in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and the humidity was getting uncomfortable in regular cotton shorts. These are so light and breezy. The little zip pocket is handy and discreet. I loved the beautiful packaging too. I will order more colors because they are so great!" —Abnnassif

Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in women's sizes S–XL and 19 colors). 

Promising reviews: "I live in the desert and these sheets are fantastic! I love the silky feel, and they wash up beautifully. I’m buying a second set today." —Sunny

"If you have night sweats, you need to buy these sheets. I do and I bought a set. Oh my, I just love them. Not only are they soft, but they also seem to be cooling too. No more night sweats for me." —Linda Leynes

"I am a cold sleeper but my partner sleeps hot. Normally, her heat keeps me awake for a while. However, these sheets are so cool that I am instantly able to fall asleep. Pair that with how soft they are and they are definitely worth the money." —Trevor Scott Frazier

Get them from Amazon for $45.59+ (available in sizes twin–Cal. king and in 25 colors).

Promising review: "I live in the Southeast U.S., along the banks of the Mighty Mississippi, and in the summer (and shoulder seasons), it feels like a hot, wet giant duvet has been thrown on me. This region is a hellscape of humidity and mosquitoes. I am prone to night sweats and hot flashes and this blanket has become a summer/hot season MUST-HAVE. I have two — one for the couch and one for my bed. It instantly cools and brings me back to sanity/normal temps. I haven't tried the other Elegear products yet, but if they all work this well, y'all can take all my money." —Ashley M.

Get it from Amazon for $22.02+ (available in five sizes and 13 colors).

This massager can also help increase blood flow to your scalp, which can promote hair growth.

Promising review: "I bought this item based on the reviews and needing something that would help with my itchy scalp. I tend to have a line on the back of my scalp where product builds up due to my thick hair and extreme Florida humidity. I've used this a few times now and I love the way it feels. It helps the shampoo really get into my scalp and I haven't had as much itching since I started." —Ashley R.

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

As a girlie who doesn't drink nearly as much water as I should, I was a die-hard Liquid I.V. fan...until I tried Cure. I love that the key ingredient is coconut (which is known for being amazing for hydration), and I love that the overall ingredient list is relatively short. The flavors are also so tasty and refreshing. I don't go a day without having a packet (or two).

Promising review: "We live in Las Vegas, and the heat is just starting to get up to triple digits. After trying many other products to keep my kids and husband hydrated, this is by far the best product, so I am buying again. They give them the rehydration they need without the extra sugars from Gatorade or Powerade, and all have said that with one packet they can feel a difference with their bodies. During the summer months, they take two packets a day: one in the morning before work or school and then one in the middle of the day with lunch/games. They have said that doing it this way keeps them feeling great, not exhausted, and, more importantly, their bodies don't feel ill from the heat." —Christina

Promising review: "No complaints, I'm just satisfied. It worked. We were surprised that such a small bracelet could keep us bug-free, but it did." —M. A. Cooper

Promising review: "Best 10 bucks I ever spent! Oh my god, where has this simple, effective, ingenious device been all my life, and why hadn't I ever heard of it before? My 7-year-old got a bumble bee sting (yes, they DO sting and it HURTS). A few days later, I got stung by one. Then my 3-year-old got stung by one. Upon using this, it immediately stopped itching.  I'd give this product a million stars!" —Me

Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "I've been using this stick sunscreen for almost two months now, and I absolutely love it. It's incredibly easy to apply and doesn't feel greasy or heavy on the skin. One of the best features is that it goes on clear, so there's no worry about a white cast or altering your makeup. Plus, it's perfect for reapplying throughout the day, even over makeup. The convenient, portable design makes it easy to carry with you wherever you go. Highly recommend!" —Hoda

Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (also available in a glowy option).

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 $9.98+ (available in women's sizes 4–13.5, men's sizes 3–12, and dozens of designs).

Promising review: "You know when your life gets better after you purchase a specific product? Well, this is that product. With this Texas summer weather approaching, wearing a bra is like sticking your breasts in a straitjacket! I slapped these bad boys on today and went braless in a white tank top! I'm a happy woman!" —Amazon Customer

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.

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

This product is suitable for all curl types!

Promising review: "I live in Florida, and the humidity is awful. I have naturally curly hair and after a couple of hours outside, my hair is nothing but frizz. I used this for the first time yesterday and I really wish I'd found this sooner! My curls stayed defined after hours outside, with the breeze blowing! By the end of the night there was some frizz but this product reduced it by 75%–80%. Even this morning, it is less frizzy than just a few hours without it. I will be buying again!" —Amanda

Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in three sizes).

Just slather some on before you dive in, and let it work its magic!

Promising reviews: "Leaves my processed, blonde hair, feeling soft and hydrated. No problems with chlorine green hair." —CR22

"This stuff is AMAZING! Literally nothing else keeps tangles out of my daughter’s hair like this does. Her hair is so thick and very difficult to brush; this makes it easy peasy to brush the tangles out after a swim in the pool. It also softens her hair. When not used, the pool chemicals make her hair very stiff and dry. We even use this every once in a while just because! It smells wonderful and doesn’t make the hair greasy in any way. I cannot recommend this product enough!!!" —Emily

Promising review: "This is my favourite lip balm. It has really good color payoff for an SPF lip product and gives a pretty glossy tint on the lips. It feels lightweight and comfortable without being sticky. It keeps my lips looking smooth and hydrated. I also love that it has SPF 30 and peptides for extra care. Perfect everyday lip balm for a natural glossy finish." —Geeta

Get it from Ulta or Amazon for $20 (available in four shades).

It's foldable, so it's easily packable and won't take up much room!

Promising review: "I’m sure this is what they mean by hot girl summer. I’m a teacher and I do carpool/recess every day and have thick hair and a big ol' head, and I got the large. This is such a lifesaver!!! I have tan lines and just got sick of getting burned/exhausted from the sun and heat every day. Seriously the best thing ever. It’s so wide, it even keeps the sun off my chest. Love!!!!" —S

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa has used this on herself and her toddler. She says, "It's actually shocking how well it worked. No sand was on our legs, arms, or tummies after I used it. A miracle product."

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 & another baggie to have exclusively in the car." —Gabbs Uresti

The liners come with trimming guidelines so that you can cut the insert to your desired size.

Promising review: "Great for summer shoes. Cut to fit your shoe. They are washable and retain their shape after each wash. If you like to go sockless, this is a great option and allows you to wash the insert in case your feet sweat…most do!! The thin 'flat sock' aka insert does take up a tiny bit of space in your shoe. If your shoe is already tight on or across the top of your toes it could be uncomfortable. I would recommend these for purchase and I have purchased them more than once for my husband and me!" —Nanny B

Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in two sizes that fit women's sizes 6–13 and four colors).

PSA: Just like cushion foundations, with a cushion dry shampoo, a light hand goes a long way.
