The wipes you’ll want to keep on hand at all times…
Skimm’rs and our editors alike have been really into Lume’s Whole Body Deodorant, but our latest discovery from the brand are these deodorant wipes. On top of being pH-optimized, they’re packed with an odor-controlling deodorant that’ll keep your body smelling fresh for up to 24 hours. While we aren’t swapping out our regular deodorant application for these, we are loving them for a post-gym refresh or a touch-up on particularly hot days. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

The best hydration pack to keep in your bag…
Make those daily cups of water count more with these hydration multiplier packets from Liquid IV. They’re full of essential vitamins, clinically tested nutrients, and three times the amount of electrolytes compared to your average sports drink. Just rip open the stick, add to a 16-ounce glass of water, and enjoy. ($24.99+, Liquid I.V.)

A pair of refreshing eye masks…
Our editor loves these Jet Lag Eye Patches from Summer Fridays because they aren’t overly coated in serum (which means they won’t slip and slide around). They’re naturally cooling, hydrating, and depuffing, but we’d suggest keeping them in the fridge for stronger effects. ($24/6 pairs, Sephora)

The random, yet useful body product Skimm’rs can’t stop buying…
Megababe’s Magic Powder has been a bestseller for months on end. The reason? It’s an easy way to apply an absorbing powder without the mess. It applies like a lotion, but dries like a powder, so you can apply it anywhere susceptible to sweat, blistering, and chafing. ($16, Ulta)

A portable fan that rests around your neck…
Enjoy a steady, constant breeze (that won’t make too much noise) the minute you turn it on. It’s USB-powered and has three speeds so you can adjust to your liking. More importantly, your hands will be free for a book or an afternoon cocktail. ($27.87, Amazon)

An ice roller to help you depuff…
Harness the power of cool with this roller’s icy, aluminum design. It tightens, depuffs, and stays cooler for longer. You’ll come for the sweat relief and stay for the added bonus of pore shrinkage and lymphatic drainage. Just see what one editor had to say after using it for six weeks. ($79, The Skinny Confidential)

Deodorant wipes that’ll leave you smelling fresh…
Stop B.O. in its tracks with these biodegradable and aluminum-free deodorant towelettes. They're made with coconut powder and charcoal to neutralize odors, while aloe and oat kernel extract cool and soothe. Stash them in your beach bag for midday refreshes. ($8.99, Amazon)

A foam pillow to stave off night sweats...
One editor called buying this cooling Casper mattress the best decision she's ever made, so we had to include the accompanying pillow. It's made with Snow Technology that feels cool to the touch and moves heat away from your body, so you'll wake up refreshed and dry. If you're a sweaty sleeper, it's worth the investment. ($149, Casper)

A high-neck maxi dress for super hot days…
Wearing a full outfit when it's above 85 degrees is its own kind of feat. But this airy dress is so lightweight and breathable, you’ll feel like you’re wearing nothing at all. Add a pair of chunky earrings and sandals to complete the look. ($148, J.Crew)

A rescue stick that’ll prevent thigh chafing…
This nontoxic anti-friction stick from Megababe works like a deodorant for your legs. Just glide it on and feel it melt into your skin. It’ll create a smooth barrier so your thighs stay cool and irritation-free thanks to its award-winning formula with aloe, vitamin E, pomegranate seed extract, and grapeseed oil. ($14, Ulta)

Oil-blotting sheets that’ll remove any excess oil…
Blot away midday shine and sweat-related breakouts with these oil-absorbing sheets. The pack is slim enough to fit in your pocket or purse and comes with 60 sheets. So you can stay cool for a good time, and a long time. ($18.11/5-pack, Amazon)

A cold brew maker that’s super compact…
No bulky, invasive tech here. This iced coffee maker is small enough to fit inside your fridge without hogging too much shelf space. It can brew up to a week’s worth of coffee in 12-24 hours. Not to mention the carafe is cute enough to leave out on your counter. ($34.99, Amazon)

An anti-boob-sweat powder that’ll keep you dry…
This talc-free powder absorbs moisture ASAP. Just spray it on your chest, and it’ll keep your bra and top nice and fresh. It also has soothing aloe, chamomile, and lavender for a relaxing scent. Plus, it’s vegan and cruelty-free. Keep it in your bag so you’re always prepared. ($16, Ulta)

A refreshing mister that’ll keep you from overheating…
If you find yourself dipping in the pool every five seconds during your backyard hang, you’ll want to add this mister to your cart. It attaches to a standard hose and can be bent to the perfect angle. Just don’t forget to apply sunscreen before you head outside. ($18.98, Amazon)

A natural deodorant with activated charcoal…
This sensitive skin-friendly deodorant blends to a clear finish and won’t leave stains. But we especially love the formula, an effective combination of coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, and pure vitamin E oil that keep unwanted odors under control. It comes in a stick or a jar, and it’s housed in earth-friendly packaging. Read our full review here. ($18, PiperWai)

A portable smoothie maker for cold treats on the go...
Instead of running to the nearest bar with a frozen margarita machine, try this portable blender (and save some cash in the process). It comes with a 14-ounce BPA-free jar that doubles as a travel cup. With just one on/off button, you can make your favorite smoothie, milkshake, or marg in literal seconds. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

An air conditioning unit that won’t mess up the feng shui…
This unit is quieter than most, fits easily within standard windows, can connect to your phone for call-ahead turn on, and blends in with your surroundings. It comes in four other sizes that’ll cool larger spaces with ease, and a few panel options for an extra splash of color. Read our full review of this next-gen AC here. ($349+, Windmill)

A handy tool that makes iced coffee in less than 60 seconds…
No need to prep your cold brew the night before. Store this cooler in your fridge so it’s always cold and ready for use. When you’re ready to enjoy, just pour into your glass and add your choice of milk. Pro tip: This beverage cooler also works on other drinks like alcohol, soda, and tea. ($24.95, Amazon)

Leave-in conditioning spray to keep your hair hydrated…
This leave-in conditioning spray can help tame baby hairs, boost moisture, and fight breakage. It has rosehip, argan, and coconut oil to keep your hair soft and smooth. The science-backed formula works for up to 48 hours, so you can get away with not washing your hair for *one* more day. ($25, Briogeo)

A three-in-one mini fan to take on the go…
This handheld fan can run for hours and fit in your pocket or bag. It has a flashlight, doesn’t make a lot of noise, and has a USB output port so you can charge your phone on it in a bind. The blades are soft, but if you happen to touch them while they’re on, they’ll automatically stop to keep you safe. ($17.99, Amazon)

A lightweight comforter that doesn’t retain heat…
This comforter is what happens when you combine NASA-engineered temperature-regulating technology with 100% breathable cotton. Its fiberfill gives you a down-like feel while wicking away moisture while you sleep. ($219+, Slumber Cloud)

A half-gallon water bottle with helpful time markers…
This BPA-free option makes it easy to remember to drink enough throughout the day. It has a handle and comes with a leakproof lid, which makes it a breeze to carry to the pool, gym, or around your house. The wide-mouth opening makes cleaning it and adding ice cubes easy. Plus, its large size means you won’t have to constantly refill it. ($14.39, Amazon)

Cooling towels to use after your outside sweat session…
All you have to do is soak this towel with water and wring it out for an icy, refreshing treat. It’s soft and flexible enough to drape around your neck or wear like a headband. When it’s dry, fold it up and toss it in your tote for an instant cooldown on the go. ($9.99/4-pack, Amazon)

Stretchy biker shorts for when it’s too hot to wear leggings…
These shorts aren’t just moisture-wicking — they also have a longer inseam, so there's enough coverage to prevent thigh chafing. The no-seam front gives you a full range of motion (sans camel toe), and the waistband provides maximum coverage. They also have pockets. We repeat, they have pockets. ($19.99+, Amazon)

An all-over cooling spray for when you just can’t anymore…
Been there. This hydrating body mist is packed with skin-nourishing ingredients like vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to keep you feeling refreshed. It also has a bright citrus fragrance and menthol for a super fast cooldown. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)
