We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
If you plan on being outside at all this summer, even just for 15 minutes, check out this list.
1. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes with a clinical strength formula to help put a stop to excessive sweating for anyone constantly drenched, no matter the occasion. Each application works for up to seven sweat-free days, so when you finally decide it's time to tackle cleaning out your garage this summer, you won't be completely soaked 30 minutes into organizing!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
As always, this is a clinical-strength product, so make sure you do a spot test first (especially if you have sensitive skin)! And each box lasts two months!
Promising review:"For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee
Get a 10-count box from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in packs of two or three boxes).
2. A Megababe anti-chafing balm created with a moisturizing *and* soothing blend of aloe, pomegranate, and grapeseed oil, so you can step out in short shorts and skirts without worrying about your thighs being on fire just from walking down the street.
Megababe
Megababe is a woman-owned small business.
Promising review:"I was hesitant to buy this product because I wasn't sure if it would work or not, but WOW!!!!! It works!!!! Amazing!! I've been to a music festival for the past two years, and from walking too much, I've gotten the worst chafing. This year, I decided to buy this and use it during my two days at the music festival. No chafing whatsoever!!! I did reapply a few times (because I was walking tons/sweating). But seriously, this product is wonderful. I tried deodorant last year, and that was no help for me. This is my new go-to, and I'm excited to use it more this summer! Buy this!" — Queen268
Get it from Amazon for $13.97, Megababe for $14, or Target for $13.99.
3. A Bug Bite Thing suction tool that helps remove insect venom and saliva after a bite to help relieve itching so you can keep enjoying your day at the park without feeling like your skin is on fire.
Just FYI, some reviewers mentioned the suction power is pretty strong, so use it carefully!
Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times — so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) — immediately after using, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bump/bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it's awesome. I'm carrying it with me everywhere!" — Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in five colors and multipacks).
4. Orrrrr a travel-friendly bug bite relief patch created with hydrocolloid to help absorb leftover saliva or venom from the area, as well as aloe and witch hazel to help prevent itching and deliver instant relief. These were designed with kids in mind to help them stop picking and scratching at bug bites, but anyone can use them! It's that time of year again when the flies and mosquitoes are literally out for blood, so you've got to stay ready.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Quitch is a small business founded by a group of moms looking for chemical-free alternatives to bug spray and repellents.
Promising review: "I'm not a kid, but I get absolutely ravaged by mosquitoes in the summer. I was tired of dealing with messy cortisone ointment that worked for one second, and I wanted to also stop myself from scratching. I think these are pretty effective! At minimum, it relieves that urge to pick at a big bite. They are sticky and will last a few days even in the heat. They aren't too noticeable on my skin, and I'm very pale. I bought a backup box to keep on hand for next summer, and I'm sure I will keep repurchasing" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 for 27 stickers (also available in packs of 36 and 81).
5. A pre-swim hair cream if nothing is going to stop you from getting in the pool, even the effects of chlorine on your hair. 😭 This cream is designed to help keep your hair from frizzing up and developing a green hue after a swim, and instead leave it looking and feeling like you just got it done.
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
Get it from Amazon for $21.99.
6. Essence's Lash Princess False Lash Waterproof Mascara — yes, a version of that internet-famous mascara — because it boasts a waterproof (read: sweatproof) formula that delivers the look of voluminous falsies without the painstaking process of gluing to apply and the fear of your lashes flying off when you're driving with the windows down.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"I LOVE THIS MASCARA!! It has been Louisiana hot, humid weather tested and I did not wind up with raccoon eyes! I bought the waterproof version and am very pleased with it! I just bought some for my best friend, who is a dirt racer, to wear when she races! This came in a sealed plastic overlay. It was easy to remove with a facial wipe. So after previously spending big bucks on the 'fancy big name brands,' I found this gem and am very happy with it." — Bootlegger
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
7. An SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar with a curved design to glide effortlessly over your skin for quick touch-ups throughout the day. This lightweight, protective balm is perfect for wearing underneath your makeup because it delivers a matte finish and zero white cast!
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.
8. Orrr a TSA-friendly, water-resistant Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen stick for your face *and* body, so you can stay protected at home and on your spontaneous beach trip to Costa Rica after you saw the unbeatable flight prices while perusing the internet last night. 👀
Amazon
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly has to say:"I first bought this for a weeklong Croatian vacation two years ago 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."
Get it from Amazon for $9.88.
9. Plus, a lightweight, SPF 30 Sun Bum scalp and hair mist featuring a blend of vitamin E, sunflower seed oil, aloe, cucumber extract, sea kelp, and algae to help keep your locks hydrated and protected without a greasy finish. Unless you're wearing a protective hat, the top of your head will need something to defend against UV rays, too!
Amazon
Promising review:"If you like to wear your hair down in a part, if you have a middle part when you wear your hair up, if you have thinner hair, this is the right product for you. No more sunburn scalp nightmares. We all hate when our scalp gets sunburnt and, as it heals, gets flakes on our scalp or hairline peeling. Fret no more and buy this product. It doesn't make your hair greasy and is perfect for spraying your hairline, scalp, part, etc. I do this with my child's hair a lot because the sun just seems to stream right through her hair. She hates wearing hats to the pool, so I take this every time I go to avoid her scalp getting sunburnt. Some of the other scalp sprays are grittier and greasier. This is not. It's a little pricey but well worth the money!" — Kaylee E Agin
Get it from Amazon for $17.49.
10. A set of absorbent bra liners with a moisture-wicking blend of cotton and bamboo, making them perfect for anyone who sweats more underneath their boobs than anywhere else. 🥵 The seamless design also helps alleviate any discomfort you might have wearing underwire bras.
www.amazon.com
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
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes M–XXL and in several color combos).
11. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder designed with a blend of three powders and blue hyaluronic acid to absorb oil and blur your pores in a way that can only be described as high-level sorcery. With this portable mattifying compact on hand, you'll never have to fret about high temps leaving you with a slick, sweaty complexion!
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.
12. A stainless-steel foot file, which only requires a little elbow grease to tackle those crusted and calloused feet once and for all (or at least regularly). You'll end up with baby-soft feet and enough dead skin debris that you'll need to vacuum up afterward...or *gag* collect it in a cup to throw away later.
Promising review:"AMAZING!!! Seriously beyond impressed with this product. I've never had dry or cracked heels until recently, and I've tried everything I could find to get rid of them. This is all you need!!! I literally opened the box and did this in less than a minute! I'll never use anything else! Even better than professional pedicures!!!" — Kyla Jackson
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
13. An ice roller to help de-stress your skin and remove puffiness with a few rolls across your cheeks, eyes, and forehead. This innovative tool can be popped in the fridge or freezer, and then it's ready for use! Plus, it can even offer some relief for sinus pain or migraines. Pro-tip: roll it over your favorite sheet mask for a super soothing sensation!
Read more about how temperature therapy can help with migraine prevention at Mayo Clinic. See it on TikTok here.
The ice roller is designed with a detachable head and handle, so you can store the roller in the freezer separately. When you're ready to use it, simply reattach to the handle (it clicks in place) and roll away! You can also get the double pack, which comes with two detachable heads: one metal and one gel.
Promising review: "So far I have bought a total of three. These are wonderful for headaches, migraines, minor aches, flushed cheeks, overheated or feverish faces, to close pores, to ease stress in the neck and shoulders, and so much more! This is my favorite because it comes with two types of rollers. (Definitely get the one that has the two types of rollers!) The metal gets icy and warms quicker than the gel bead roller. The gel bead roller stays cold for a good while. Both feel great on the skin and roll smoothly with no squeaky sounds. We use them all the time. If you really want to chill your skin for a long time, then I suggest buying more than one and just change the rollers when they get warm. Or if there is a chance a family member may take yours, then definitely buy more than one! This really helps with our migraines and when we get overheated in the garden. Hmmm, with the hot weather coming to Florida, I probably should buy a few more. I definitely recommend this item." — Renee Resseau
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in nine colors and with two rollers).
You can also check out this ice roller that you fill with liquid yourself, so you can add in anything from essential oils to green tea or even petals.
14. A bag of citrusy Liquid I.V. Hydration packets — these additives boast three-times the amount of electrolytes of your favorite go-to sports drink to help get (and keep) you hydrated even better than regular-degular water. It's just perfect for having in your purse the next time you brave the summer heat on an all-day excursion!
And guess what? They are gluten-, soy-, and dairy-free!
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:"No issues with the packaging. I love the lemon-lime taste. It dissolves in your water easily; I only used a straw to stir it up. It was not gritty, and after drinking a glass, I truly felt my headache vanish, which I felt coming on after a heavy workout! My husband uses them for hangover days when you just don't want to feel as if you are nearing death, LOL! Satisfied and definitely 5 stars. Great to have on hand." — Britt
Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $23.46+ (available in 17 flavors).
15. Lume's whole body deodorant WITH sweat control for use anywhere on your body that rubs together or tends to get moist when the temps are skyrocketing and the air is thick with humidity. It boasts the same odor-eliminating power as the original formula, while also working to keep you sweat-free for up to 72 hours. Now you won't soak through your bike shorts or T-shirt in the time it takes to find the perfect place to plant your beach towel.
This deodorant is aluminum-, talc-, baking soda-, sulfate-, and paraben-free. In order to get the best results, it's recommended to apply it at night so your skin can properly absorb it.
Promising review:"I love the new Sweat Control formula! To put it to the test, I applied it in the morning after showering. It endured a day and night of hot flashes, followed by morning exercise and cleaning house the following day. There was no stink at the end of the second day. I also love that it isn't turning my tops yellow like the old formula did. I highly recommend the new Sweat Control formula." — Lisa M.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $36.99 (available in three scents and an unscented formula).
16. Elizavecca's Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment, which helps restore and repair damaged hair that's been through... a lot (read: dye jobs, heat damage, and even sun damage). Bring your hair back to life and show off silky, voluminous tresses that look like you just left the salon. Don't worry, your under-$10 beauty secret is safe with us!
This reparative mask is designed for heat-damaged hair of all types, but definitely beloved by reviewers with fine and wavy hair!
Promising reviews:"I bought this based on a review in a BuzzFeed article. I have long, thick, curly hair and use this maybe once a week. I get a ton of compliments every time, and I absolutely love the way my hair feels afterward. So amazingly soft. I use it in the shower and usually wash my hair and then towel dry it. I put a small amount in my hair, mostly on the roots. Let it sit while I shave my legs, and then rinse it out and comb through with a wide-tooth comb. I allow my hair to air dry, and bam, amazing hair. This will forever be part of my hair routine now." — m. damocles
" THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. Super easy to apply. I have fine curly hair, and it leaves my hair glossy and soft without weighing it down. Works better than any Moroccan Oil, L'Oréal, or Briogeo product I've used and is wayyyyy cheaper. Gifted a bottle to a friend with very thick curly hair, and they said it works amazing on them, too. Just do it once a week and you're set!" — Mid-west
Get it from Amazon for $7.60.
17. A two-pack of dark spot fading bar soap with a revitalizing and hydrating blend of retinol, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, turmeric, and vitamins C and E for a hydrating cleanse to help even skin tone and reduce dark spots on your face, neck, and body if that's something you're looking to do. Say buh-bye to buying swim shorts if your inner thighs bother you (they certainly don't need to, we're pro embracing your dark spots!) — and either way, hello to bikini season!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I'm big, so my inner thighs have always been darker than the other parts of my legs. I've tried other products for it but nothing has worked. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SOAP FOR THREE DAYS AND OMG!!!! My inner thighs are SMOOTHER, and they are ALMOST THE SAME COLOR AS THE OTHER PARTS OF MY LEGS, I'M SO SO SO HAPPY!!!! I hate that I didn't take a before picture but trust me!!!! BUY IT!!!! My face also looks brighter and fresher, agghhh!!" — Daphney
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
18. A fungal nail renewal formula and an electric file if the appearance of your nails lately has been giving you the ick. The reviewer-loved multipurpose formula helps restore damaged nails to a smoother, healthier appearance by reducing discoloration, strengthening your nails, and even delivering much-needed hydration! It's time to take your toes out of hibernation and get them ready for sandals-and-slides season.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Start by using the included electric file to smooth out the surface of your nail for better absorption, and then apply a thin layer of the reparative solution. The wireless, rechargeable electric nail file is designed with an LED light and comes with five different attachments.
Promising reviews:"Not sure why or from what, but had yellow discolored, ridgy toenails, with a white strip. Do not think it was fungus. I do not paint my nails. Been using twice a day on and under my nails. And in three days, my toenails are already brighter white/clear. Still have some way to go on worst nails, but huge difference already! Impressed." — Amy Carrera
"I have been using this electric nail file for about three to four weeks, and it is amazing. I have used this both on my toenails and fingernails, and I cannot believe I had never tried this before! There are so many different file tips to use, and the light on the device is just an added bonus! It charges quickly and does the job so great, and there are many speeds to this device, too! Go buy one quickly!" — Lizette
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
19. An internet-famed Bum Bum Body Cream that boasts a blend of caffeine-packed guarana extract and coconut oil to help *visibly* firm and moisturize skin, so you can step out this season feeling as confident as ever. And it won't hurt that it also smells ah-may-zing with creamy, delectable notes of salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla! ✨
Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising reviews: "This Bum Bum cream is a winner! You will not be disappointed. It smells wonderfully awesome. :-)" — Dianne Doering
"Like so many, I was brainwashed by TikTok into buying this rather expensive lotion...then I bought one for my mom and one for my sister and five more for myself as they became harder to find. My favorite thing about it is the smell. Lightly tropical/coconutty but nothing overwhelming. Every time I wear it people say, 'What are you WEARING?' like I have some amazing perfume on. Besides that, it really is a great moisturizer. I'm not usually a sucker for marketing but this was so worth it." — Kristen
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes).
20. Speaking of Sol de Janeiro — their shimmering body oil with SPF 50 will leave you looking ✨ luminous ✨ in the sunshine while still being protected from UV rays without an ashy-looking white cast. Oh, you're heading out for a patio brunch? Slather your gams, shoulders, neck, chest, and arms with this and head out knowing you look *and* smell good thanks to the brand's signature, obsession-worthy Cheirosa '87 scent!
21. A bottle of signature Fur Oil for softening and cleansing pubic hair and skin to help tackle those pesky ingrowns and deliver more moisturized and smoother skin below the belt. Lots of reviewers nabbed this on recommendation from their go-to wax professionals and swear by using it in their post-wax routine!
Promising reviews:"I am prone to ingrown hairs. I have VERY coarse pubic hair and every time I shave, I get razor bumps and ingrown hairs as the hair starts to grow back. Very embarrassing. This has led me to lean more toward trimming that shaving. I decided to try to shave one more time — well, I used Nair and removed my pubic hair from my genital area. I used Fur Oil every day morning and night after the removal, and even as the hair grows back and beyond. I would also exfoliate the area about two to three times a week with a coffee scrub that I got on here. The hair has started to grow back with zero bumps or ingrown hairs. It has actually been over a month and still no issues. This has never happened to me before. I have never not removed hair down there and not had ingrown hairs and hair bumps. This is a new experience for me, and I am loving it. I have even removed hair again since then and still no problems. My only complaint is the size of the bottle, and the smell is so-so. It is a very small bottle for the price. I will continue to use this combination of products, though, because I know it works. I am satisfied." — In the know
"Recommended to me by my waxer. I was a little hesitant at first because it's pretty expensive, but I haven't had a single ingrown hair since using this oil. I am diligent on application of the oil, and it's been great. It lasts — I've been using it for about two months, and there's still a ton in the bottle." — Megan Harmeyer
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes).
22. A bottle of Nyx matte setting spray because you want to be confident that your makeup actually makes it to *and* through the day without worrying about sweating, crying, or wiping it off. You're going to depend on this for those 90-degree daytime functions!
Promising review:"Expensive isn't always better. I tried this spray before spending the day outdoors in 90-degree heat at Disneyland, and the only place my makeup moved was on the tip of my nose because I have allergies and use a lot of tissues. But otherwise it looked as fresh as it did when I put it on. I've used Mac and Urban Decay setting spray and they never worked as well as this stuff. I am completely amazed. Definitely give it a try." — DH
Get it from Amazon for $8.50+ (available in two sizes, and also dewy and radiant finishes).
23. Burt's Bees sunburn relief lotion for soothing and hydrating your skin after enduring a little too much sun exposure thanks to a blend of coconut, aloe, and other moisturizing ingredients. This is a great on-the-go must-have in case you accidentally forget to reapply your sunscreen!
Promising review:" I'm happy to say this product works! I purchased this product due to my inability to provide my skin with appropriate sun protection one day this summer. I proceeded to spend a night wishing that I could safely freeze myself into an ice cube. Midnight discomfort led me to this product. The initial use was a day or two after the day of regret, but it eased the discomfort and moisturized my reddened skin, helping to soften the leather layer I had started to form. Of course, this review would not be complete without me faulting myself a second time. Two times in one summer, I proved my inability to adult well. I applied this lotion the MINUTE I realized that I had experienced another exposure to the sun for too long a period. To my absolute joy, this product relieved my discomfort. It left a layer that stayed cool for a few hours (at which time I reapplied it), it was a little tacky to the touch (not sticky or oily), and my skin did not experience the crocodile and subsequent peeling experience it had earlier in the season. The scent is soft and not overpowering. I have experienced skin sensitivity in the past to products, but I had no issues with Burt's Bees products. Thank you for providing me with such a helpful product." — Meghan
Get it from Amazon for $9.01 (also available in coconut and in packs of three).
24. Orrrrr a cut-to-size aloe wrap infused with aloe vera, green tea, and vitamin E to help reduce redness and that awful burning sensation from a painful sunburn. Plus, it'll help hydrate your skin for minimal peeling afterward!
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 once the aloe has worn off! And it is a little bit hard 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.
25. Aquaphor's popular lip protectant, which works double duty as a sunscreen with SPF 30 to help soothe and repair dry, chapped lips while still keeping them protected from harmful UV rays! At under $5, you'll want to keep one of these in every purse, fanny pack, and jacket pocket you own this summer!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Because this is made with Broad Spectrum SPF 30, it meets the AAD Guidelines!
Promising review: " I used this every day 2–3 times a day in the Florida sun. This worked for me fantastic. I cannot use typical balms with sunscreen, so I decided to try this because I love regular Aquaphor for chapped lips." — jeanie
Get it from Amazon for $4.76.
26. A pair of reusable and waterproof silicone nipple covers that magically disappear your nipples or piercings from being visible though your shirts or dresses with seamless coverage that stays put! You'll be able to wear your favorite strapless or backless outfits without worrying about stubborn bra straps, and if you're a member of the tig ol' bitty committee — you can even get Nippies that offer lift.
BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more.
Promising reviews: "These covers are AMAZING! I used them for the first time this weekend during my bachelorette because of how much white I would be wearing, and they were perfect. I usually use petals, but sometimes you can see the shape of the petal, and my nipple still shows, but these covered my boobs perfectly, and you couldn't see them through a see-through white body suit. They lasted through the night when I forgot to take them off before bed and also lasted through tonsssss of sweaty dancing. I never leave reviews, but I had to spend the word. All my girls on the trip were amazed by them and are all ordering now." — Amazon Customer
Get a pair from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes, with or without lift, and five shades).
27. An acne-clearing lotion specifically for your bum that features an anti-bacterial and moisturizing formula with tea tree oil to help reduce breakouts. Treat your booty to some TLC because it's finally time for daisy dukes, short shorts, bikini bottoms, and other revealing pieces that show off your favorite ass -et!
www.amazon.com
Read more about how tea tree oil can help with acne from Mayo Clinic.
Promising review:"This product works, but takes time! I have really bad stubborn acne on my butt and thighs... this product did not clear them up right away, considering I have bad acne so that was to be expected. I am now on week three and am finally noticing a difference in the acne. It is actually mostly clear! if you are willing to wait for the results then this is a good product for you. I noticed if you stop using (which I did for a period of time) the acne does come back! So I would use for awhile after skin has healed as well. This is definitely needed for summer time! Thank you so much for making this product, seems to be the only thing that worked for me!" — Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
28. A set of seamless "invisible" underwear — you're going to be obsessed with them after realizing you can barely feel them when wearing them under even your most body-clinging pieces. Bike shorts this summer without a constant wedgie or visible camel toe? These ultra-soft no-show panties have to be worn to be believed! And if you're not into full-coverage underwear, reviewers are obsessed with these seamless thongs!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the seamless underwear in action.
Promising review: "These are my new favorite. They are comfortable and do not show under all my clothes. They are super soft too and hold up all day without gapping. I have been buying Victoria's Secret underwear for many years spending unnecessary money. I'll repurchase these over and over again." — Joshua
Get a set of six from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 10 sets).
29. A pack of hypoallergenic, plant-based body wipes designed for freshening up wherever and whenever. A blend of tea tree oil, peppermint, aloe, and ginseng delivers a moisturizing scrub and pleasant scent with this wipe that is larger than a piece of printer paper when unfolded — so you can get all in those crevices, even if you're in the tiniest bathroom ever.
Goodwipes
Each box includes 10 individually wrapped wipes, making them perfect for taking on the go!
Promising review:"I bought these for a long holiday where I anticipated hiking in remote areas without the opportunity to do a whole cleanup at a hotel before going out for dinner. Tho I was never quite that dirty/smelly, even on regular days in the city that were unexpectedly humid or travel days of hopping between airports and train stations, these came in clutch to make sure constant freshness was a quick wipe away." — candi
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two scents).

I Was Today Years Old When I Learned That These 23 Things Can Kill You

Listen — we all know the internet can be a horrific, dark place, but it can also be an incredible resource that teaches you things you're shocked you had no idea about. You know — those things that you feel like there should've been a high school "how to be an adult" class on? Well, this post is exactly what I'm talking about here. Both Redditors and members of the BuzzFeed Community shared the simple — and sometimes seemingly harmless things — that, believe it or not, can actually kill you. I'll be honest, I had no idea about half of these, and these people have probably saved my butt a time or two. Here are 23 unexpectedly deadly things they shared: 1."Leaving food out on the counter." —u/Ok_Application7142 "I made garlic-infused olive oil once. Left it out because that's how I always saw it on people's counters. Used it a few weeks later. I got botulism. I was out for four whole days, writhing in pain with nothing left to expel. Turns out, I could have died." —u/Zabroccoli The USDA advises not to leave food out for more than two hours in cool weather and one hour if it's 90° or higher. Temperatures of 40 to 140° are the "danger zone" for bacterial growth, with the amount of bacteria doubling in as little as 20 minutes. 2."Garage door springs." —u/TheDarkRabbit "My father-in-law drunkenly pulled the emergency release red cord on our very old, SOLID wood garage door. The door fell down with such force that it dislodged the spring, and that thing shot right through the wooden garage door, shattering it into a million pieces! It was the most terrifying moment. Had that spring shot in the other direction, there would have been multiple fatalities, I'm sure of it." —u/Ambrosia0201 3."Cat and dog bites. My cat bit me, and I ended up in surgery because the infection was anaerobic. I could have lost my thumb or gotten sepsis. Go to a doctor to get an animal bite cleaned." —sdk "Cat scratches, too, especially for people with compromised immune systems." —jcorey1513 Contrary to the name, both cat scratches and bites can lead to Cat Scratch Fever — a bacterial infection your cat can give you if they've been bitten by a flea. 4."Giving infants water to drink. It doesn't have to be much; water intoxication can kill them very easily." —u/19Thanatos83 5."For adults: Drinking lots of water while also trying to be 'healthy' by going low-sodium can mess you up badly if your potassium levels go too low. I did that and spent a week in a coma." "Now I have to take supplements, drink lots of Gatorade, and put lots of salt in/on my foods, or my blood pressure plunges, and I have to worry about falling in the shower because my compression socks are off." —shelleye "Water toxicity isn't limited to babies, BTW. Once I got a migraine on a hot day. I called the doctor, and he told me to drink more water. So I did. It got worse, and I started to get nauseated. He said, again, to drink more water. So I did. He failed to ask, at the beginning, how much water I had already been drinking. Which was A LOT. More than most people. Cut to later that day. I came to in my sister's living room. I had made it there on the bus, but I didn't remember how. I was confused and acting really weird. I had thrown up several times, then I fell asleep. She thought I was just really sick. I realized later that I had water toxicity. I could've died, all because the doctor didn't bother to ask how much water I was drinking and assumed my migraine (which I got ALL the time) had been from dehydration. There is too much of a good thing." —pandamama710 When things like overconsuming water affect the sodium levels in your blood (like the latter story), it's called hyponatremia. When this, like in the former case, affects your potassium levels specifically (as potassium is an electrolyte), it's called hypokalemia. 6."Rags covered in linseed oil can spontaneously combust when left in a pile. I randomly discovered this fact in a Reddit post titled, "The new guy burned down our workshop." A carpenter I know confirmed that this is a real thing. I've been getting into refinishing old furniture, so I'm glad I learned this now. You'd think it'd be more common knowledge!" —u/doctor_x "I'm sure most people know this, but it doesn't have to be linseed oil; basically any type of combustible liquid can have the same reaction. Oil, gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner, etc. Always store your dirty rags in a metal, fireproof canister designed for that purpose. Bonus items that can, under the right circumstances, burst into flames: grains, animal manure, hay, woodchips. While some people just want to see the world burn, some seemingly benign items do, too." —srandlett25 "My cousin nearly died in a house fire from this. My aunt's dog saved his life. And yes, they both survived." —kelseyc48a791d61 According to NASA, this is a reaction known as auto-oxidation. Essentially, linseed oil — which is a "self-ignition combustible" — reacts with the oxygen in the air and can spontaneously heat, thus causing a fire. 7."A dental infection. I went to grief support meetings, and a woman there lost her son to an impacted tooth that spread infection to his brain." —u/jefuchs "I worked in a dental office for a good while, and we had a patient with chronic periodontal disease and a small tooth abscess that wasn't coming in for treatments as directed, and wasn't taking prescribed antibiotics as directed. Next thing we heard, she was in the ICU with endocarditis, among other things that they linked directly to the infection in her mouth. She survived and got some of it treated in the hospital, but as soon as she could, she was in our office like clockwork for the rest of her treatments." —s45b9ebeb9 8."If potatoes are not stored properly and become rotten, they produce a toxic gas called solanine and can make a person unconscious if they've inhaled enough, and result in death in some cases. There was a news article back in 2013 of an entire family in Russia that was killed by it." —u/Moon_Jewel90 "I about died from this as a kid. My grandma had a potato box in her kitchen, which is exactly what it sounds like. It was a wooden box about the size of a trash can and had a lid on top that she stored potatoes in. When I was 10 or so, I was playing in the kitchen, and I got curious about it. I was never especially interested because, like, it was a potato box. What do I wanna look at some potatoes for? But for whatever reason, I got curious, opened the lid, and woke up on the floor sometime later with my chest burning so badly that I could barely draw breath to cry for what felt like ages. I didn't find out why exactly that happened until I was an adult and saw a comment like this on Reddit, but I was scared to even go NEAR that damn potato box for the rest of my childhood." —u/Zazulio 9."Flowing water that is only inches deep can still have the strength to sweep you away if you're not careful." —u/akumamatata8080 "When I was a kid, one of my friends died this way. The family was crossing a shallow river in a Landcruiser Troopcarrier with lifted suspension, and the undercurrent swept the car away immediately. The mom, dad, and sister escaped in time, but my mate (around 7 years old) couldn't undo his seatbelt fast enough and drowned." —u/Mike9601 and u/commiecomrade 10."Mixing bleach and ammonia when you clean produces a toxic gas that will make you REALLY sick. " —u/Any_Assumption_2023 "This is why you don't use bleach to clean litter boxes!" —j458091739 Bleach + ammonia = chloramine gas, which — when inhaled — can cause coughing, nausea, shortness of breath, chest pain, wheezing, pneumonia, and fluid in the lungs. 11."Pressure washers are quite lethal." —u/floydie1962 "Can confirm: pressure washers are dangerous. Mine stripped a layer of my sandal sole off when I accidentally blasted my foot with it, and it stung for about a day. It wasn't a super duper ultra-powerful pressure washer, either." —u/swithinboy59 "I was just using one about a month ago, and like a dummy, I stuck my hand out and it sliced my finger wide open. It was just like getting cut with a dull knife, it hurt like a MF." —zmyersmyers" 12."Going to sleep while drunk and choking on your own vomit. Always lay your drunk friends on their side and lift their chin to open their airways. DO NOT lay them on their backs. My friend died from this at age 32." —u/K8syk8 13."Slipping down the stairs. Yes, some people know stairs can be dangerous, but many don't realize how deadly residential stairs can be." —u/Parking_War_4100 "Did that. Got a concussion and five staples in my head." —u/thebeamingbean 14."Ladders. People think you have to fall far to get hurt or die. Eight feet is plenty." —u/Ancient-Valuables "I was always told falling your own height can kill you." —u/Quality_Street_1 15."Tylenol. The dangerous dosage is only about four times the therapeutic dosage." —u/Waltzing_With_Bears Taking Tylenol as intended can provide pain relief, but taking more than the advised dosage can have serious medical consequences, such as permanent liver damage, seizures, coma, and death. 16."A lot of medication interactions. Mucinex DM with antidepressants, Tylenol for a hangover. Always look up the potential drug interactions of medications. Every time. I've had doctors give me some deadly cocktails because they neglected to check them against the meds I was already taking. It happens more than you'd think." —u/otterboviously "My grandfather nearly died a few months ago because his doctor prescribed him a medication that interacted with one he was already taking, because he couldn't be bothered to check. I've also had medications prescribed that would interact with ones I was already taking. Always ask your doctor about interactions, because they won't always check." —anonynasty There are tons of handy drug interaction checkers online; however, always make sure to ask your pharmacist or doctor if you're uncertain. This is also true for over-the-counter medications and supplements, not just prescription medication. 17."Party buses. My wife's cousin was on one a couple of years ago. They were all dancing on the bus while it was driving on the 101 freeway in LA. She slipped and fell against the door, which gave way. She fell out of the bus and was immediately run over by a car. There wasn't much left of her, closed casket for sure. She was celebrating her 30th birthday, but instead, she died and left behind 5 kids, all under 10." —u/bowlskioctavekitten 18."Cheerleading. I had an accident and almost died because one of my teammates lost their balance while I was on top, and I fell. I broke my neck and I haven't been able to walk or move most of my body again since." —u/Glum_Benefit3704 19."Other people mowing the lawn. My stepdad was cutting the grass 300-400 ft from the house. He hit a rock and it flew all the way to the house, through two panes of glass, and between me and my mom sitting by the window It shattered the glass on the oven door." "I had always heard about the dangers of being around running lawnmowers, but didn't think much about it. That rock could have blinded or killed someone. Now I know, but people think I am nuts when I tell them to put their kids in the house when cutting the grass." —luckyangel30 20."Playing in a deep hole at the beach. Everyone forgets how heavy dirt actually is." —u/GuiltyLawyer and u/Is_Unable "When I was a little kid, there was a construction project at my school, and there were trenches. They did a demonstration where they took the strongest kid in the school of 1,000 students and had him lie down on the stage. Someone placed a bucket of soil on his chest, and then he tried to stand up. He couldn't move it. They even supported the bucket to make sure he wouldn't get hurt from it being too much weight. That was educational." —u/St_Kevin_ 21."Hitting your head. r/TBI is full of stories about simple slips and falls that resulted in death and lasting effects. I simply fell on ice at work once. Bam! Unconscious. I woke up saying I was OK but got talked into getting in an ambulance. I started dying in the ambulance from a severe brain bleed. I was in a coma and was expected to die, but I survived. I lost most of my memory, emotional stability, the ability to easily make new memories, and a ton of IQ. Still…in all, I'm not dead!" —u/cbelt3 "Always protect your head! I worked in a mental hospital with a Neurology Department. We had SO MANY kids and grown folks who had serious brain damage from a head blow that didn't seem that serious at first. In particular, I remember a little boy who was climbing a fence and fell, hitting the concrete below. He ended up in a wheelchair with a mental age of 2-3 years for life. In addition, you would be shocked at how many women ended up having seizures and brain damage from being whacked in the head by their men." —luckyangel30 22."A grape. My wife had a friend/coworker whose young daughter choked to death in front of her and her mother. They tried to dislodge the grape, but nothing worked. By the time an ambulance got there, the girl was brain dead. It's about the worst thing I can imagine as a parent. We were cutting our kids' grapes in half until they were 10 after that happened." —u/jpiro finally, "Confined spaces. If it only has one way in and out, especially if it is below ground, there is a very real possibility that there isn't enough oxygen in there to support life. Even something as simple as rusting metal can remove the oxygen from the air, and if there isn't airflow going through the space, the oxygen-depleted air won't be replaced. Other processes can remove oxygen or produce actively toxic gases. This sort of thing often kills more than one person, as the first person to find the victim goes in to rescue them and becomes the second victim." —u/SuspiciouslyMoist Do you know of a simple thing like these that can accidentally kill people? If so, tell us about it in the comments below. Note: Submissions have been edited for length, clarity, and factual accuracy.

This Hair Mask Brings My Dry Hair Back To Life Fast

Between constant heat styling and general neglect, I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm someone who tends to pay more attention to my skin than hair. Yes, my hair is thick and full, but it is beyond thirsty and lacks the nourishment necessary to make it look shiny and healthy. Leave-ins, oils, and deep conditioners seem to only work as a temporary fix, and I don't have time (or frankly, the patience) to wait 15 minutes for a hair mask to work its magic. Cue the Briogeo Superfoods Acai + Passionfruit lightweight hydration hair mask, a water-cream hair mask that claims to hydrate strands without weighing them down. Did I mention it does the job in under five minutes? The mask is the latest newcomer to Briogeo's Superfoods line, a collection of products inspired by (and infused with) superfoods that nourish, moisturize, and support healthy hair. While typically ultra-rich hair masks like this one can weigh down fine to medium hair, this one is specifically formulated for these hair types and addresses signs of damage and dehydration without jeopardizing volume. It's made with acai extract to repair sun damage and reduce frizz along with passionfruit oil for shine and moisture. After just one use of this hair mask, I noticed shinier, more hydrated hair, especially at my notoriously frayed ends. My parched hair drinks the formula right up, and what I love most is that it doesn't just make my hair look better for a day — it actually feels healthier even after I heat style it. The scent is also a huge selling point — it smells like a sophisticated bubblegum (Briogeo describes it as sweet and slightly tart with some freshness), and effectively perfumes my entire shower, making for a great sensorial experience. I use this in place of conditioner once a week and have noticed that my hair has more moisture, shine and radiance to it. To use, I scoop up a generous amount and apply to the mid-shafts of my hair all way toward the ends, making sure to distribute it evenly. After five minutes, I rinse it out and voilà — gorgeous, healthy, commercial-ready hair. Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in two sizes).
