~Cool~ products that'll help you beat the heat.
The spray actually comes out as a powder that you apply directly where you sweat. Just shake the bottle, hold it an inch away from clean and dry skin, and pump before you get dressed.
Promising review: "This has become a summertime staple for me! Living in humid south Florida, that means it's hot May through October. A little shake, a little spray, a little pat, and I'm good to go for the day. It helps so much! I have sensitive skin and haven't had any adverse effects." —Cate

The handle folds up for easy carrying, and the fan has three speed settings.
Promising review: "I live in the south, and it’s sooooo hot and humid here and most battery-powered fans you just don’t even feel the breeze! This fan is sooo powerful, and I absolutely love that it’s rechargeable, and it’s quiet, but it just plain works! I don’t know how I went soooo long without this product in my life. This is one of those products that once you get you don’t know how you lived without it but you are glad you don’t have to! ❤️❤️❤️❤️" —Julie James

Promising review: "I bought this to have in hot and humid Georgia this summer and it works. It keeps my style in place for the day despite the humidity, and I have wavy thick hair that blows up in humid weather. It does leave a stiff layer on the hair but it is not bothersome." —RAR31
Get it from Sephora for $24.
Promising review: "This works great at keeping the sun from blinding my kids and keeps their car seats from getting so hot that it could burn them. Plus, it keeps the temperature in the car at least 15 degrees lower. This is huge for us because we live in a extremely hot and humid climate. As for the fit, it’s pretty good, but it doesn’t fit snuggly in my Dodge Dart windows. Not a deal-breaker though as it 95% fits fine." —Phenyx

Promising review: "This product is great! I never knew until now, that there was something I could do about excessive facial sweating. I have always had a problem with a sweaty head and face, and as I've aged it has gotten even worse. I live in the Midwest, and summers can be extremely hot and humid, so I was constantly wiping sweat off my face — especially on the golf course. It's really embarrassing when you're the only one with sweat streaming down your face. With this product, I still feel just as hot, but there is minimal sweating. I find myself wiping my face, only to find there's nothing there to wipe. It works well for me!" —Babalooey

Promising review: "I live in a naturally hot and humid climate, and this is a game-changer! I don't have to wear only dark colors for fear of looking like a sweaty slob! I love these shirts!" —Bryan & Katherine
Get them from Amazon for $28.49: available in women's sizes XS-XXL in three colors and in men's sizes XS–3XL in three colors.
Promising review: "It is really easy to just pop off the ice roller, put it in the freezer, and re-attach to the handles. So far I haven't had any issues with re-attaching after cooling the ice roller. One thing to know though is that the ice roller can accidentally pop out if you apply too much pressure on it — but again no issues with putting it back in. This has really been so convenient for the summer heat and unexpected humidity of the year. I enjoy using it and so does my mom. I can't really say anything else about it regarding skincare absorption mostly because the main purpose for me is to have something cool for my face." —Anita
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in nine colors).
Promising review: "NYX matte makeup setter lasts and leaves makeup perfectly in place for long hours. I live in humid Louisiana and work in the film industry. This product withstands heat, humidity, light rain, and sweating. Even on your lips and brows. Makeup washes away easily too. An added perk is with proper blending of makeup, it will set tattoo cover-up as well. True trick is to blend up fine layers, letting them dry before the next layer them finishing with NYX. I absolutely LOVE it and from now on it's a permanent addition to my makeup routine daily." —Lynette B
Get it from Amazon for $8.49.
Promising review: "These are the most comfortable slip-ons that I’ve bought. I can wear them for hours in the hot and humid streets of NYC with no complaints! Buy them now, you won’t regret it!" —Keri T.

Promising review: "I used this towel through the hot humid summer to absorb all the sweat from vigorous power yoga. It has excellent grip and absorbs a lot of sweat without creating puddles. During the winter, I use a thinner towel with equally great satisfaction." —Saba

Promising review: "It’s a heat index 95 with high humidity here in Houston, and my son's back is always soaked with sweat when he goes in the stroller even with a fan. The pad kept him dry today and is a nice comfy layer too. I'm very happy." —A Dickerson
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in toddler and infant sizea and in 11 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "I live in a hot and humid part of the country. As a result, I often end up with sweaty smelly feet. I came across this product and thought I’d give it a try. To my pleasant surprise, it really works. The scent is somewhat strong, but not offensive. Personally, I like the mostly lemongrass scent. I have used it successfully in my shoes and on my feet. It doesn’t take a lot either — two to three sprays per shoe/foot." —Maggiezzy
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
The system comes with a reversible pad that you put over your mattress, the control unit, and a remote to adjust the temperature. The unit uses hydropower (aka water) to adjust the temperature from 55-115 degrees F, which means you can use it all year long to keep you comfortable. To use it, you simply have to add water to the unit before going to bed. Plus, it auto shuts off when the water is too low and the pad is machine washable.
Promising review: "Living in Hawaii can be really humid and not everyone has the luxury of AC. Having the Chilipad really made a difference! I feel way more comfortable at night and wake up more refreshed then without it. Sometimes I just don't want to get out of bed because of the cooling effect. I tend to prime my bed way before I sleep by running it, by the time I sleep my bed is already cool! Thank you Chilipad! You made my night!" —Alex
Get it from Chili for $499+ (available for one or two people and in queen, king, or California king).
Promising review: "Best eyeliner ever! I live in a hot and humid state, and I walk across campus all day long without having to reapply my makeup. This eyeliner has a sharp tip that is flexible enough for me to control the thickness/shape of the line I want to draw, and the waterproof formula prevents any budging or smudging. Definitely worth every penny. I only apply once in the morning, and it lasts throughout the day. I even wore it in the pool and on rainy days, and it doesn't fade. I'll try cheaper products, but always end up coming back to this one." —RDPark
Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in 10 colors).
Promising review: "I purchased these curtains two months ago and just purchased two more sets for more windows. I live in Hawaii where the weather is humid and muggy throughout much of the year. I usually keep my windows open all day despite the heat. These curtains have helped keep the high temperatures and humidity at bay and have eliminated the glare on my flat screen (my TV faces setting sun), which was my primary reason for purchasing these curtains. I also purchased these curtains to protect my privacy at night, and they do so perfectly. Overall, I highly recommended them." —thejungleflower
Get them from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in 21 colors and patterns and in six sizes and two styles).
Promising review: "Where have these been my whole life? I live in humid FL and have very oily skin. Halfway through the day I look like an oil slick. I love these charcoal tissues, they feel great on skin and gently absorb oil. They do not ruin or pickup my makeup at all when I dab them on my face. They leave no trace of oil and I am good for another four hours or so. I can't live without these now!" —Ashley Bouchard
Get the pack of 100 from Amazon for $6.95 (available in 10 styles and varieities).
Promising review: "This is so nice for a hot, humid summer! I didn't buy an air pump to go with this, but it blew up very easily with my hairdryer set on cool. Plenty of room for my roommate and me (both about 5-foot-4) to lay in with room still at our feet. We've had this for about two months and haven't had any problems with it other than having to blow it up a little here and there but I think that's normal — not like water was spilling out or anything, just got a little soft from time to time. Overall, It's a great product! It's very durable and is so convenient for hot summer days! Can't beat the price for such a large-sized inflatable pool." —Gionna Knauss
