27 Products To Help Fix Summer Body Problems
A bottle of Burt's Bees sunburn lotion because picnic-at-the-beach season is finally here. This will save the day when you forget to apply SPF on one of your summer adventures — the soothing blend of aloe and coconut oil will help calm your skin in no time.
A cult-favorite foot file that'll grind away at calluses and have your heels and toes looking silky smooth and ready to slip into your go-to sandals. There are many foot files out there, but thousands of reviewers say this one works like a charm.
An after-swim leave-in detangler to alleviate your chlorine-hair worries. Now you can glide around gleefully in the water like Aquamarine while playing the bop of the same name by Addison Rae. The lightweight spray is meant to help detangle, soften, lessen the effects of UV exposure, and will even help neutralize chlorine odors.
A bottle of Fur Oil, which will be your new best friend for soothing your skin after hair removal. It uses tea tree oil to potentially prevent ingrown hairs and jojoba and grape seed oils to help reduce redness and irritation from current razor bumps. Those last two oils mean you can even use it to condition your cuticles, scalp, and to seal split ends. I just looked up "multitalented" in the dictionary, and it just says "see: Fur Oil."
A pack of Dr. Frederick's Original blister bandages for all my fellow blister-prone people who refuse to let their sensitive feet stop them from rocking new shoes on vacation. These are designed to be water-resistant, stay in place all day, and provide extra padding to help relieve pain.
Undersummers anti-chafing shorts to protect your thighs from friction when you wear your fave dresses and skirts — because nothing ruins a perfect summer day like realizing your thighs are gonna pay the price. And don't worry, these are super stretchy and moisture-wicking, so you won't have to sacrifice comfort to keep the chafe at bay.
Or an all-over anti-chafe balm for anyone who is not actually about that hike life but still lets their super-active friends convince them to tag along. You can swipe this on your thighs, ankles, feet, neck, armpits, or anywhere else that needs some extra protection from the friction that's threatening to ruin your serene afternoon.
A Lume acidified body wash that's designed to help control odor for a whopping 24 hours! That $3.75 shower gel you've been loyal to since high school simply can't do that. It's also formulated with mandelic acid to help brighten hyperpigmentation with continued use. And yes, it's safe to use on sensitive areas!
Lume's whole body deodorant WITH sweat control — it has the same odor-eliminating goodness of the original formula with added antiperspirant power! Spread it on your pits, skin folds, privates — anywhere external that needs extra protection while you gallivant around in the summer sun. Pro tip: apply it at night for best results so your skin can properly absorb it.
And a pack of 30 aluminum-free deodorant wipes so you can quickly freshen up those pits while you're hitting the town in a sunhat like the summer diva you were destined to be. These are super easy to carry around, and just a few swipes will help neutralize odors and leave behind a tropical coconut scent.
Or a pack of SweatBlock wipes, which might be the most aptly-named product ever; they truly block the sweat. They're super easy to use: dab the wipe on your underarms, let it dry for 3–5 minutes, let it sit overnight, then clean with soap and water in the morning. Once you do that, you'll be protected from excess sweat and odor for up to seven days.
Or!!! An aluminum-free Sol De Janeiro Rio Deo deodorant that not only helps prevent odors but is also available in four of SDJ's iconic scents (The "Cheirosa '62" scent is the same as Bum Bum Cream btw!) It's also designed to help soothe skin, and reviewers say it actually holds up all day.
A sand-removal bag you'll want in your beach bag at all times going forward — because beach trips are the best but removing sand is the worst. Just pat the bag to disperse some of the talc-free powder inside, then wipe it over your skin and watch the sand just glide right off! It even comes with a waterproof carrying pouch so you can keep it safe in between uses.
A pack of hypoallergenic body wipes for the days when you need to skip the shower and take the lazy route instead. We've all been there. These are infused with aloe so your skin will feel refreshed, clean, and silky smooth, even on those scorching summer days.
A bottle of Happy Nuts Comfort Cream — an aluminum-free lotion-to-powder formula that's designed to keep the ~downstairs area~ dry, comfy, and stank-free. If your... um ...🌎 globes 🌎 are susceptible to chafing in warm weather, you might want to keep a few bottles in stock.
Or Carpe's Groin Powder that's not only silky smooth but also absorbs sweat thanks to the corn starch base. While it's specifically designed to be safe to use on the groin, some reviewers have had success using it in skin folds and other sweaty areas. Oh, and the delightful white jasmine scent is a welcome bonus.
Seamless bra liners you'll wonder how you ever got by without. Simply place them in your bra and let the moisture-wicking fabric do its magic while keeping you extra comfy.
And! A pack of disposable underarm shields so you'll be extra protected when you attend a baseball game and a round of ~the wave~ threatens to broadcast your sweat stains up on the jumbotron. These adhere to the inside of your clothing and absorb wetness to keep those pesky sweat stains at bay.
And!! A pack of highly absorbent sweat liners — now your fave hat won't be drenched at the end of your afternoon walk. Just peel off the adhesive backing, place it inside your hat above the rim, then rest assured that your eyes are protected from sweat and your hat is protected from nasty odors.
And!!! A pack of genius handkerchiefs that are specifically designed to mop up sweat. They can absorb seven times their weight in moisture and dry faster than traditional towels. Honestly, where have these been all our lives?!
A Revlon volcanic stone face roller to mop up excess oil before it has time to break down the makeup you spent SO much time applying that morning. This was one of the first beauty products to go viral on TikTok — and for good reason! It mattifies with just a few swipes and is designed not to disturb your makeup.
Or a pack of oil-absorbing sheets that will tackle the shiniest of foreheads and have you looking instantly matte without ruining your makeup. These are a must on the days when you want to touch up in a hurry and forgot to bring your setting powder with you.
CeraVe's Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser so you can banish the acne that's popping up like sunflowers all over your body now that warmer weather is finally here. Reviewers have had luck using it on face and body acne, with many saying it reduces rough skin, bumps, and pimples with consistent use.
A pack of shoe deodorizers that are a must-have for anyone who apologizes profusely any time they take their shoes off around other people. They're designed to absorb and neutralize odors overnight, and you can even use them in gym bags, pet beds, lockers, or anywhere else that's in need of a refresh.
And a deodorizer shoe spray made with peppermint and eucalyptus oils that's safe enough to spray directly on your feet so you can tackle those odors from the source. It's designed to dry super quickly, so you can spray it and put your shoes on right away.
The super popular Bug Bite Thing, which uses the simple power of suction to alleviate the post-bite itching and swelling from the adorable but vicious bumblebee that attacked you while you were distracted by an equally cute butterfly that landed on a sunflower (I think they may have been working together). It works on everything from mosquito bites to wasp stings, so you'll probably want this in your pocket any time you leave the house this summer.
A pair of Nippies, adhesive pasties reviewers swear by for feeling comfortable, secure, and supported — especially when their summer 'fits just don't work with a regular bra. The medical-grade adhesive provides a strong, waterproof hold, and they're entirely washable and reusable. Plus, they come in several colors to match various skin tones.
