Promising review: "I have trouble regulating my temperature and this cooling necklace has been an amazing help! I’ve ordered two more: one as a spare, and one for my kiddo who has the same temperature issues. I love that these are functional as well as decorative!" —Jenny

Get it from YAHAccessories on Etsy for $28+ (available in two sizes and lots of colors/patterns).

Promising review: "Got this for a Father's Day gift. He works in a dealership service drive outside all day. He loves it after using a few days. The misting feature just feels like ice cold air and not wet. Water lasts for about 15 minutes on high, but is very easily filled back up. He lives it and literally will not shut up about it. So good purchase!" —Marci

Get it from Amazon for $149.99 (available in six colors).

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 $8.87 (available in four scents).

Promising review: "I have only rubbed this on my feet once so far, that was exactly 1 day ago. My feet are dryyyy. Its crazy!! I sweat naturally, I am just always "hot" which causes clammyness for my feet and hands. I tried this for work one night and I was so happy. I started using toe socks as well, helps keep my feet from rubbing together too, the combination has been awesome. Im only planning on applying as needed, even after 1 shower I can still feel it on my feet! They're so dried out but no more clammy in my shoes!!! It has a smell at first, but it goes away. For me personally, it changed my whole night of work. My feet felt dry, the heat in my body was still there, but my feet weren't clammy feeling and wet!!! My socks were dry when I got home. Need to try for my hands too, will see." —Melissa roberts

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available with or without an applicator).

Promising reviews: "The flavor on this is exactly what you would imagine! Just like being a kid and having rainbow sherbet in a cone. It is delicious and refreshing and one of my favorite flavors of liquid IV." —Jenny D

"Great price for this product! I have been using this brand for a very long time. It has great hydration effectiveness. It mixes well with water easily. It has a great taste and flavor. If you are looking for a quality powder to keep you hydrated, this is it! I use it during workouts, and the very hot days we have been having." —H.D.

Get it from Amazon for $19.79 (also available in 12 other flavors).

Just wet it, ring it out, and snap it before 

Promising review: "This is so much better than the other microfiber cooling towels. I’ve been looking for the real deal for years now and this is it. The cooling effect & longevity is way beyond the typical cooling towels out there. And while it holds a significant amount of water it doesn’t drip water down your shirt, it actually holds it keeping you cooler so much longer. Love the blue color as well!" —Nicole

Get it from Amazon for $9.88+ (available in nine colors).

The pack includes five pairs of underwear.

Promising review: "Wow, I’m ordering more. They stay put while playing pickle ball and hiking. They breath, are silky and soft keeping me comfortable. They’ve held up to repeated washes without changing shape or pilling. And bamboo is sustainable and healthier for my body and our environment. I have less panty lines and love how they fit." —Chloe's Mom

Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in women's sizes S–3XL and nine colors).

Promising review: "First, this does an excellent job of protecting your skin against the sun's harmful rays. And that's the main goal of this product and I'd give it 5 stars for that alone. However, I would give it more stars if possible! The application is so simple and easy. And on hot days it feels SO COOLING AND REFRESHING! This is my absolute favorite sunscreen for my face!" —Erin & Everything

I've been using this perfume for years and I regularly get stopped to ask what scent I'm wearing. It's not overwhelming and gets better the more often you use it, since each swipe introduces a little more of your musk into the formula. I keep it in my purse and roll it on any time I'm feeling gross and sweaty! 

Promising review: "When someone in the same room as me asks, "oh my god, who smells so good?" I can confidently answer, "it's me!" No exaggeration when I say I get compliments daily on how good I smell. I've probably told hundreds of people about this perfume. When I ask people how it smells, they have a hard time explaining it most of the time and frequently land on "it just smells...clean". I am a nurse, I need a scent that's not overpowering, and this is exactly it. I'm urging you to treat yourself: both to the scent and the daily compliments!" —Becky H.

Promising review: "This thing is a freaking life saver. Went to Orange Beach, Alabama in the last week of July to ride the Gulf Shores State Park and it was like 100° in the shade, we'll for everything except me. It was like riding with an air conditioner under my helmet with this thing on. It was light weight, fit under my cycling helmet really well and it kept me cool. I highly recommend this item for hot weather activities." —GASP AMBASSADOR..💪.

Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in nine colors).

Promising review: "Fits like a glove and works incredibly well. Slides into place without a lot of effort and absolutely no sun gets through the windshield. Hours in the Texas sun and my car feels like room temperature. If/when I remember the remote start, the shade helps cool it down to low sixties in 90–120 seconds. I’ve never tried to put it back into the holding bag but it seems as annoying-but-doable as any other shade. Best purchase I’ve made for the car." —Brittany

Get it from Amazon for $11.53+ (available in six sizes and tons of other styles).

Promising review: "My husband’s favorite summer shoes. He gets a new pair every summer! Comfortable, cool style and no smell!" —Elena B.

Get it from Native Shoes for $34.78+ (available in women's sizes 6–12, men's sizes 4–13, and two colors).

Promising review: "This is our fourth shirt purchased and we love them all. Comfort, softness and fit are perfect. Love the cool comfort on even the hottest days. The colors are beautiful. The shirts have all retained their color and shape after numerous washing and come out wrinkle free after drying. Will definitely be purchasing more in the future." —Kathy Steers

Get it from Amazon for $32.79 (available in men's sizes S–4XL and seven colors).

Promising review: "Absolute 5 stars! Wore these for a wedding in New England in September. Weather started off in the 70s and then cooled down. The reception was indoors and HOT! These babies stayed put through the whole thing. And let me tell you, I danced for 2.5 hours and SWEAT! My dress changed color almost entirely because I was so hot, but these NEVER MOVED! Well worth it. I have tried others and had no luck with them sticking. My dress was very thin satin material with rouching, but you couldn’t see them at all. These stuck immediately and stayed on for over 10 hours! Highly recommend! I am typically a B cup so base my review on that, I can’t speak for larger chest." —Kim K

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in cup sizes AA–G, including half cup sizes, and 13 colors).

Promising review: "Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo is hands down the best I’ve ever used and the only one I’ll buy. It absorbs oil, sweat, and odor without leaving any residue behind, and my hair never feels stiff or straw-like.

My hair feels clean, soft, and completely natural after using it, with a fresh scent that isn’t overpowering. It truly looks and feels like freshly washed hair. Worth every penny — I won’t use anything else!" —Momma2hhj

Get it from Amazon for $33+ (available in two sizes).

Promising reviews: "Cools red hot skin on contact. Pleasant scent. Feels fabulous when applied after being refrigerated. Will buy again." —HS98

"I actually don't care if it does anything for my skin in terms of hydration or de-puffing. I bought this solely because of the cooling it provides. I am always hot and this is amazing at cooling the skin. Be aware that if you try the tester in store, it might not be as potent simply because the tester is probably a little old. If you spray it at the wrong angle or keep your eyes open (don't), it won't be pleasant in your nose or eyes. I wouldn't recommend it to children at all. If you need something to help keep you cool, try this." —mom2jack

Promising review: "It goes on cool and smooth. A little goes a long way. Use it for under boobs and on back where bra closure is. Really keeps you dry! Use it for cleavage and chest as well. I’m glad I found this product!" —Kim Falkenhein

I keep one of these in my purse and use it whenever I feel a headache coming on, which happens a lot in hot weather. It has a nice, light smell and a little goes a long way.

Promising review: "The coolness is so soothing. It has actually helped me to keep a couple of migraines from starting when using it on the spots where I was feeling pain before it got too bad. I purchased a second one. I keep one in my purse and one in the bathroom for when I get a headache during the middle of the night." —Amanda

Promising review: "This is the second pair of cooling shorts I’ve purchased. I love them.

I never wore cute summer dresses because of the chafing, rubbing and sweating. Not anymore! I’ve purchased four new dresses for summer." —Sarah M.

Get it from Thigh Society for $39+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, six lengths, and 11 colors).

I have and love this hair gel. I live in North Carolina where temps are regularly in the nineties from April until October, meaning I wear my hair up A LOT. A pea-sized amount of this helps keep my hair in place all day long without making it crunchy.

Promising review: "I got this gel for my husband but I have also used it since then and we both absolutely love it! It works well and keeps the hair in place without being too stiff. It also does not flake!! For the price you cannot beat it!" —Amber

Get it from Amazon for $4.84 (also available in a stronger formula).

I use this nearly every day in the summer. I have sensitive skin and sometimes heat + lotion = a nightmare. But a few spritzes of this on my arms, chest, and legs offers plenty of hydration and leaves behind a dewy glow.

Promising review: "If you like gardenias you will love this scent. Very soft and subtle. For dry skin the spray is perfect, not too heavy or sticky, but gives a silky feeling which feels "just right" for bare arms in summer." —Carla Falkson

Get it from Amazon for $38 (available in two scents).

Get it from Anthropologie for $108 (available in women's sizes XXS–XL and five colors).

Promising review: "Great hat for using in high heat and humidity. Keeps head cool and if it gets sweaty just machine wash in cold water and hang dry. No more hand washing. Second Mission brand style hat I have bought. Both are wonderful. This one is ball cap design. Other one has wide brim and neck curtain to protect from sun. Highly recommended!" —Samsung Tablet user

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in nine colors).

Get it from Pure & Gentle Soap for $9.95.

Promising review: "Holy Florida heat, this are a must have for between cardio and weight lifting, I didn't know sweating until I moved to Florida and these have saved me!!!" —Marvelous Meghan

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two scents and other quantities).
