Because the people who created these sweat-blocking wipes and sand removal bags definitely deserve all the credit they can get.

I am a contributing writer and former BuzzFeed Shopping fellow and I love writing about the latest fashion trends, the cutest home decor, and what beauty products are actually worth adding to your makeup bag.

Promising review: "Great fan. Used while in Disney over the summer, and it was strong and lasted all day. I really like that it tells you the percentage of the battery, so I could judge how much longer I had to use it while we were out in the heat all day. There were a couple of days I used it all day on various speeds and still had 25% left by the time we got to our room at night. Great battery power. Small enough to carry or wear with the strap around your neck. Strong air flow, and it wasn’t loud. I would buy again." —AWright

Promising review: "I have been carrying these with me everywhere I go for over a year. It's easy to throw a couple in a pocket or a handful in your bag on the way out the door. They take up virtually no space. Since each individual portion of Purell is completely self-contained, I can keep them in my car during the Arizona summer with no chance of heat expansion or evaporation. Also, a must for travel! Every time I share them with friends, they order some for themselves. Such a smart product!" —ML

You simply apply to clean, dry, hair-free skin, and press firmly. It's good for 8–12 hours of wear. (So, a fun day at the beach!) They're waterproof, hypoallergenic, cruelty free, vegan, latex free, and paraben free.

Promising review: "This was one of my best purchases for my international trip. Traveling there aren’t many opportunities to charge your phone but this enabled my phone to stay fully charged the entire day and night. I was able to text, make calls, take videos and photographs without worrying that my phone would die. Fast too charge, small and easy to carry in small purse or pocket. Always keep on hand." —Tenyca

Promising review: "Okay, so I found this deodorant, and I have to rave about it! It's a total game-changer for those scorching summer days. I'm talking about the kind of heat where you feel like you're melting. Well, this stuff keeps me feeling completely dry, which is a huge win compared to others I've tried. On top of that, I smell amazing, like a total treat all day long. 😉 It's like a little burst of freshness that actually lasts. I've tried so many different brands over the years. But, I have to say, this one is the most reliable deodorant ever! I never have to worry about reapplying throughout the day. It's the real deal, and I just had to share!" —JA

Get it from Amazon for $8.97 (available in four scents). 

Psst — you should definitely "patch test" this on a small area of skin before putting it on to ensure you don't have any reaction! 

Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok, and I decided to give it a shot since it was only like $20 for 10 wipes (that's 10 weeks, 2.5 months) of no underarm sweat. It worked! I was so happy to finally be able to wear all the shirts I own that are not black!" —Nes172011

Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (each box lasts two months).

Promising review: "A friend of mine told me about these. Brilliant, I can't believe I lived without them for so long! I've been wearing all black on business trips forever because I got tired of stained white top syndrome. The three-pack is perfect: one at home, one in the office, one in my travel bag." —Cathy

Promising review: "I walk a lot at night and these bracelets are keeping the mosquitoes at bay! Good product, and it does perform well in bug-central Florida." —C. Cole

Promising review: "I never knew what we were missing! My kids HATE putting sunscreen on their faces, but are more than fine grabbing this stick and rubbing it all over! No issues with burning, even in the pool at the height if the sun. Plus, it smells as amazing as the rest of the Sun Bum products! It's a staple around here now!" —LC Ole

Promising review: "Perfect, affordable, useful. Comes in attractive carrying case. Has a protective sleeve. Opens to a good size." —Holly West

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 11 colors and two-packs). 

Plus, this is TSA friendly, which makes it great for traveling.

Basic Vigor is a US-based small business specializing in all-natural migraine relief products. 

Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life — I’m 31 now. I’ve been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy. I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine medication since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell

It's also easy to clean: Just twist and unlock the roller's ring, gently pull out the stone part, wash the stone with a gentle cleanser, rinse it off, and let it air dry before using it again!

Promising review: "I saw this featured on TikTok and decided to give it a try. It really does work! I have oily skin on my forehead, around my nose, and chin. One swipe in each of the areas and [the] oily, shininess was gone. A must-have in your purse." —Maria S.

The toothbrush's liquid gel toothpaste is different from regular toothpaste since it minimizes foam production so you don't even need to rinse after brushing. This little tool is a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, toothpick, and tongue scraper all in one! 

Promising review: "Freshee is terrific! Anytime you need to refresh/impress! This device offers the ability to brush and floss your teeth on the go; I use it at work or when traveling. The built-in toothpick and tongue scraper are nice additions that really help me feel refreshed on the go! It fits easily into pants pocket or suit coat pocket and is sturdy and durable." —Antonio Abrego

Promising review: "Quality is great, these are a lifesaver working in the summer with a bunch of gear on, and they keep you cool for a while. All you do is add water, wring it out, and you’re good to go. Comfortable to drape over your neck or head while working outdoors or exercising. The amount of towels you get for your money is great. The size of them is good." —Alexis Gonzalez

Get them from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in nine size and color sets). 

Promising review: "These are great for travel and when you’re at a poorly stocked public bathroom (or behind a tree, whatever the case may be). It is also great for hand-washing and removing sunscreen in a pinch. They are even gentle enough for the face. Good size and thickness.  I have made a lot of people’s day by having these on hand…" —K. Bee

Get a pack of 30 individually wrapped wipes from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four scents and a 90-pack). 

BodyGlide is a small business that specializes in chafe-preventing personal care products. 

Promising review: "Wow. I took this on vacation, during which we walked about 20,000 steps daily. And, of course, my shoes begin to rub against parts of my feet, terribly. But I smeared this on, and it was amazing. I did have to reapply a few times a day, in public, but I highly recommend this!! I used it on my toes, ankle area, etc., and my feet felt great (normal)." —Y.

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in multipack). 

FYI, for the travel Tower 28 SOS spray, it's $12 for 1 ounce where as this is $9.99 for 2 ounces — so even in the travel department you're still saving and getting more bang for your buck!

Promising review: "This is the best product ever! I’ve always been an excessive sweater my whole life. As you know, that can lead to being stinky. I can spray this on my face, arms, and chest after a workout in the afternoon on a hot day, then go back to work without worrying about stinking up the place. Helps to neutralize the bacteria that causes you to smell." —Celinas

Shakalo is a small business based in San Diego.

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 dog's paws and bellies to ensure they're taken care of too. I will definitely be buying the refill and another bag to have exclusively in the car." —Gabbs Uresti

Promising review: "Absolutely excellent. I’ve taken this to the beach three times now, and it’s awesome. Absolutely massive, and sand doesn’t stick to it. Sure, if you step on it with sandy feet or push sand onto it, it’ll sit on top, but it just brushes off or shakes off without working for it at all. Ideal fabric for lying out at the beach. Great value, a must-have!" —Amazon Customer

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

Promising review: "I burn very easily, so I try to stay out of the sun or wear tons of sunblock. On those days when I still manage to get burned, this has been the absolute best for pain relief. I’ve used it for years. Instead of trying to drive around to see which store carries it, Amazon has made it easy. I’ve tried other things that are too greasy, sticky, or just don’t work. This stuff relieves the pain, smells nice, and it turns to tan rather quickly, skipping the peeling part. I swear by this stuff." —Danielle K. Schmidt

Promising review: "Last-minute purchase for a trip to Jamaica. So happy I bought them. They always kept our towels on the chairs correctly. It was also easy to tell our chairs apart from others on the resort. Will definitely be recommending them to others." —Rose's Favorite Finds

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $10.97+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "I threw these in my bag last minute for a trip to a resort in Cancun, and we absolutely loved them! They take up no room, and I easily fit two pillows in my carry-on bag to have for the beach. Made the beach chairs so much more relaxing by being able to be comfortable. They blew up so easily. It just took four big breaths for each pillow. Loved that I could either use the straps or sand to hold them in place. I also like the idea of traveling with them in my carry-on in case we have a delayed flight, and I have enough time for an airport nap. I'll be bringing these on all future vacations." —Nikki Miller

Get it from Amazon for $36.95 (available in 15 colors).

Promising review: "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: "Great cart! We love the ease of use. It folds up pretty flat (except, of course, for the balloon wheels) and fits easily in the trunk. It can hold an impressive amount of gear! We have packed it with two large beach chairs, a small cooler, drinks, speakers, blankets, towels, a diaper bag, an umbrella, a small baby tent, a little table, flip-flops, drinks, etc., and we still have room for more. The balloon wheels are THE ONLY way to travel through deep, soft sand. Even when loaded down, it is very easy to tilt the cart back on the two big balloon wheels and roll through the sand. Other carts' wheels just bog down and get dragged through the sand or dig in and become immovable, making it a miserable trip. We live in Pensacola and visit the beach constantly, so we hope the cart holds up! So far, it seems sturdy and shows no signs of failing. Best beach cart we have owned so far!" —Jboogy Groove

Get it from Amazon for $249.99+ (available in two styles and three colors).

Promising review: "This fan is just what we were looking for! We live in Florida, and trying to do anything outdoors can become very hot. This fan has been amazing for those hot summer days spent at Busch Gardens, Disney World, and Universal Studios. Don't second guess; these are great!!!" —Amany Shamsideen

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "These are so handy. There’s many in a pack and so my whole family ended up using them when we went on vacation. The different colors help keep track of whose drink belongs to who. They are good quality, stable and easy to clean. They are now a beach staple that helps keep everything from getting sand in it." —TEMc
