    Simply 38 Of The Best Grooming Products To Help Solve Your Summer Problems

    Finally, an SPF 30 lip balm that doesn't taste like you smeared sunscreen all over your lips.

    1. An Eos shea butter shaving cream will help you glide your razor over all kinds of curves and bony parts. (Why are knees so hard to shave?) Folks with sensitive skin (like me) swear by this stuff. It has a super hydrating formula you'll totally feel the difference for after using. 

    Promising review: "I am so happy that I found this shaving cream! I hope they never stop making it! I have super sensitive skin and continuously got razor burn in my bikini area. I had to resort to waxing for years. But since I started using this shaving cream for the past year, I’ve never had razor burn again!" —Richard

    Get it from Amazon for $3.97 (available in five varieties, including a sensitive skin version!). 

    2. A Revlon volcanic stone face roller to remove oil and shine from your face. And unlike oil-blotting sheets, the ball can be popped out and washed so you can use this over and over and over again.

    Reviewer using Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller

    Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. Not only is it affordable, but it's also washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful. It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep. After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pick up everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B.

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

    3. *Though* if you can never break up with the OGs, a pack of blotting papers is one of those skincare products you'll always find room for in your bag or pocket. (I know I do! And specifically buy this brand's in bulk over and over again.) 

    Promising review: "I've had oily skin my whole life and used countless types of oil blotting sheets because they're lifesavers. THESE ARE AMAZING. Great deal, big sheets, and they pull out one at a time so easily. Give these a try — completely worth it. They work well and are easy to use." —Kelsey

    Get a 100-sheet pack from Amazon for $6.95 (available in three scents).

    4. A stick of Gold Bond Friction Defense can stop chafing caused by sweat before it even starts. It's sooo good and better than any other competitor in the thigh-saving category. But really. I have thick thighs and swear by it!

    the stick
    Amazon

    My colleague Ciera Velarde is a huge fan! Here's what she has to say: 

    "I've used it for about 12 years now and it's the only thing that I can trust to prevent that dreaded chafing after a sweaty day of walking around. It glides on perfectly, it's unscented, and it doesn't melt away when you start to sweat. If it's a particularly hot day out, it can start to fade after a few hours, so just make sure to bring it with you to reapply. In addition to preventing chafing between my thighs, I've also applied it on my arms where my sports bra rubs against them when I run and it works like a charm!"

    Promising review: "Whoooo sometimes I feel as if a fire is going to start between my fat thighs, but with this stuff they just glide right on by each other, it has been a summer life saver. Only thing is you have to pack it on and reapply maybe 4 hours in, so bring it along for the ride. I will be buying again." —Ash

    Get it from Amazon for $6.

    5. An I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo will tackle greasy roots without the aerosol formula. I've been packing this for flights where I carry on only and this little puff is EFFECTIVE. Like, I went to New Orleans recently in late May with a blowout I was trying to make last. This kept my oily roots matte again! It's LEGIT.

    Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —Teresa

    6. Coola Organic Scalp Spray & Hair Sunscreen Mist With SPF 30 because, yes, the skin on your scalp also deserves a layer of protection! Besides, we're leaving itchy, red hair parts in 2022.

    Promising review: "So I'm fair-skinned and red-headed. Sunscreen is my signature scent! This is a great spray, and I use it only on my ears. Just small enough to carry around in my purse, and a fine spray that's perfect for such a small portion of my body. I won't ever go without it again." —Kim V.

    Get it from Amazon or Ulta for $28 (cruelty-free and vegan).

    7. Elizavecca Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment that'll go on like a hair mask except it'll give you even more dramatic results thanks to Ceramide 3 and collagen. Any time I use it, my hair looks and feels so much healthier. If you're clocking a lot of time in chlorine or the sun, this is likely a good bet.

    8. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers to pair with your body sunscreen so there's someone besides you and your pal who're wading in the waves to remind you that, uh, yes, you do need to reapply! Oh and they last for 12 hours. Once a sticker turns colors, it's time to reapply.

    Check out a TikTok of the sunscreen stickers in action. 

    Promising review: "Just used this product on a recent trip to Florida. I made sure to wash my skin before application and it lasted about two days on my skin without coming off. When out of the sun or behind UV glass, like in a car, the spot turns clear. As soon as you step into the sun it turns purple. If you use a sunblock it starts to become clear or semi clear. After being on the beach and having gone into the water a few times the spot started seeing purple and I applied sunblock again. In a minute the spot was clear again. So this is very effective In alerting me when to reapply." —RGTorque

    Get two 16-counts from Amazon for $25.99+ (also available as a 48-count). 

    9. Burt's Bees after-sun soothing lotion because sometimes you get sunburned even when you think you're being great about reapplying sunblock. Or maybe you just recruited your laziest friend to help you reapply on your back. Both are highly possible!

    It doesn't contain any parabens, phthalates, petrolatum or SLS.

    Promising review: "Whenever someone I know has a sunburn, I become that super annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Really, Burt’s Bees should pay me. It rubs into skin like lotion so you don’t feel greasy and can immediately put on clothes after application. A little goes a long way! It smells good without being overpowering (and I’m picky about scents!). Most importantly, it works! I’ve had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Highly recommend!" —jlgentr3

    Get it from Amazon or $11.40.

    10. An exfoliating scrub mitt to help you part with excess dead skin and particles while you use it a couple of times a month. (It's that good so you don't have to use it often!) Reviewers find it super helpful for removing self-tanner, addressing ingrown hairs, and increasing circulation — all something that we could use help with during warm months.

    reviewer image of the black glove on their hand

    Promising review: "I have very thin and light body hair, so any form of removal (shaving, waxing, etc) usually leaves me with a lot of ingrown hairs. I've tried body scrubs and washcloths and neither really do a great job. I saw this product recommended by a dermatologist on TikTok and thought I'd try it — it's amazing! I also have very sensitive skin, and this mitt doesn't leave my skin irritated at all. However, absolutely do not use this mitt on your face, neck, or other sensitive areas, it would be way too harsh.

    I like to use this mitt first when I get in the shower, then use a body wash (a gentle chemical exfoliant) and follow up with body lotion for dry and sensitive skin. This whole routine is fragrance free and leaves my skin feeling very soft and moisturized." —Kat

    Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (also available in a set of two). 

    11. SOL by Jergens Deeper by the Drop Self Tanning Drops will easily combine with your moisturizer to help pale folks develop a ~glow~ overnight.

    Promising review: "Works better than all the high-end products I have tried. Would definitely recommend!! It does have a strong 'self tanner' smell, but I personally don't mind that. This picture is after letting it develop overnight." —Whitney

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

    12. Vanicream clinical strength anti-perspirant that'll be perfect for people with sensitive skin who also want their pits to stay dry. That describes me to a T. I wore this stuff in nearly 100-degree weather and high humidity in Grand Cayman in July last year while exploring the Crystal Caves. Afterward my clothes looked and felt like I'd gone swimming, but my pits stayed odor-free and dry. (I also may or may not have gotten heat stroke that day.) Nothing short of a miracle!

    Promising review: "I recently developed a serious reaction to antiperspirants. My underarms would break out in a horrible, painful red rash. So I tried different 'natural deodorants.' They did not break out my underarms, but they didn't really work! So I tried Vanicream after reading several reviews. IT WORKS!! My underarms don't break out, and it works as well as any antiperspirant/deodorant on the market. After my first order, I ordered two more. Couldn't be more relieved and happy to find this product!!" —Amazon Customer

    13. COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, a lightweight but SUPER hydrating face serum made to work on *all* skin types if you're looking to keep it light feeling but still super effective.

    Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust

    15. Carpe Antiperspirant Hand Lotion for anyone who suffers from constantly sweaty hands. It's recommended by dermatologists and the reviews are FULL of believers.

    Promising review: "I’ve been pretty impressed with this cream. I have hyperhydrosis which mostly affects my hands and feet. I take an oral medication fort condition but I still have sweating sometimes which is why I decided to try this lotion. I’ve been using this product mostly on my feet about three times a week for a little over a month now. This cream has a slight smell but it’s nothing awful at all. I’ve noticed a little bit goes a long way. Before bed I put the cream on the bottoms on my feet. It doesn’t really leave any residue. It almost makes my feet instantly feel dry. I have definitely noticed that it helps maintain minimal sweating without any crazy side effects. I’ve also used this on my hands as well. This is a product that actually does help with my hyperhydrosis and I’ll definitely be ordering more when I run out!" —Lauren p.

    Get it from Amazon for $14.95.

    16. Lavilin Foot Deodorant Cream because you can't forget about your poor sweaty feet too! This sensitive skin-friendly formula is made to last up to seven days.

I use a Dollar Shave razor now, changed every couple of weeks with Tend Skin after every shower and before deodorant. Miracles! I have noticed less of a difference on razor burn and ingrown hairs in other areas, however." —A User

We use for mosquito bites mostly...but I will tell you, my husband actually got stung by a wasp after we bought this and I cant tell you how excited I was! Not for this discomfort of course, but I could wait to see if the bug sucker would actually suck out the stinger...it did!!!!! So satisfying." —E. Horvath

    22. A three-pack of Vacation Strawberry Jello Salad SPF 30 Sunscreen Lip Balm that'll put a stop to your excuses of skipping SPF for your lips because all of the options out there *taste* like sunscreen. This one's made to taste like a fun dessert.

    Promising review: "I’ve tried many, many sunscreens that claim to blend and not leave a white cast when applied. This was so much better than I expected. A nickel-size amount goes a long way and blends into a smooth, dewy finish. I also didn’t notice a scent so there was no worries of walking around smelling like sunscreen." —Target Customer

    24. Rimmel Stay Matte Mattifying Primer to give you a smooth finish that'll stay that way for so much longer.

    Promising review: "This product works!! I have extremely oily skin which means my face is super shiny within minutes of applying foundation. The second photo is without primer, a few hours after applying foundation….you can see all the shine on my forehead. The first photo is with primer six hours after applying foundation….hardly any shine! I believe in the product so much that I gave a tube to my friend who also has oily skin and she absolutely loved it and uses it now! For the price, you can beat it compared to the expensive brands that are way more expensive and only a fraction of the size." —S. Rodriguez

    Get it from Amazon for $4.07.

    25. E.l.f. Hydrating Face Primer that, according to reviewers, will set up your face for smooth application and then keep it looking matte once said makeup is applied as you like it. Give this affordable option a go before spending double-digits on luxury primers.

    Promising review: "This stuff is a holy grail for me. Same smooth, poreless matte finish I'm used to in higher-end primer, but for my dry flaky skin, this gives me so much moisture that doesn't change how my makeup wears." —K2G2

    Get it from Amazon for $8 (vegan and cruelty-free).

    26. A hair color kit can help you touch up roots, cover grays, or tint eyebrows instead of going to the salon. It's a little bit of effort BUT the reviews and review pics are *quite* compelling. This is a nice brow-filling alternative for when you'd rather not with makeup and instead concentrate on which boat excursion you're taking on your Greek Isle trip. Plus! It's cheaper than getting your brows tinted professionally. 

    Promising review: "I have bold brows but as I near age 40, there are some parts (especially the inner corners and arches) that are thinning out. This will save me two trips to get my brows tinted (I’ll still go twice a year for the shaped threading, but will cut my annual visits from four to two, and will do my own tinting moving forward). Will buy again. Going to try on my lashes next time and will update my review then." —Bethany Kirk

    Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in four colors).

    27. An ultra-fine continuous water mister will refresh your hair in the morning after you've slept on it. Let's keep that air-dry style looking fresh instead of using more time, water, and hair products on a whole wash!

    Promising review: "Used for wetting my 2-year-old's hair. Could have used it for crafts, could have used it for misting plants, so many things. It’s super durable, I know because she dropped it a million times. You don’t need to refill it every day, it doesn’t use a lot of water in each spritz but it does feel like it. Incredibly smooth. Would buy again (and I will because I left it at my sister's while traveling)." —Savannah

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four sizes). 

    28. A digital home waxing warmer in case you're game to try out some at-home waxing instead of going into the salon and paying someone else for it. (To each their own!) This kit has with 47 accessories to help you get the job done at home, like skin-soothing wipes (designed for calming sensitive skin) and signature scented beans that are safe for *even* Brazilians. (Lots of other places, too.)

    FYI, it uses a low melting point, which means that you're less likely to get burned. It includes five bags of FDA-approved waxing beans, 20 waxing sticks, 10 eyebrow waxing sticks, one pre-spray, one post-spray, 10 gloves, and five protective rings. Plus! There's a digital indicator so you can see your wax heat.

    Promising review: "This is an amazing waxing set and I love it. I use it on my underarms and bikini areas and it's work is amazing. I was worried it wouldn't get the job done because it was so cheap but this exceeded my expectations. It melts the wax so fast on high, I then I lower it all the way down about five minutes before I use it, just to be safe. My skin is very sensitive and I don't have any problems with this. I am a cosmetologist and I would use this on my clients. You won't regret getting this wax set!" —Jennifer

    Get it from Amazon for $44.99.

    29. A pack of insect-repellent wipes you'll pat yourself on the back for slipping into your bag the next time you do some last-minute restaurant patio margs or drop by the park to meet a friend. 

    parent using the wipe on a kid's face
    Amazon

    When I was a kid, someone told me that mosquitoes love me because I'm so sweet. And I FULLY believe that as an adult because I still get eaten alive if I'm out for long periods of time without wearing some kind of repellent. I've used these wipes on several park days here in NYC (sitting on a picnic blanket drinking wine with friends is more or less screaming COME GET ME to skeeters). But I've really found success with them on a hot weekend trip to Savannah, Georgia. I don't notice any smell when using them and have found one wipe to have enough repellant for my arms and legs. So, basically, a one and done. I don't think that I've gotten *any* bug bites on days I've used these wipes. Plus, I have extremely sensitive skin but haven't had any irritation from these seemingly powerful wipes!

    30. *Solid* Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen that'll really stick to your skin on your tropical (or just plain sweaty) vacation. Oh, and because it's a solid, it's carry-on–friendly!

    model applying the sunscreen to cheek
    Amazon

    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. 

    And if you're a bit hesitant about jumping on the solid sunscreen bandwagon, you can pack a stick of this, knowing you have enough sun protection to get you through to finding some spray-on or lotion SPF at your destination. 

    Promising review: "I bought this right before a Florida beach trip this month. Of course after a long winter, the Florida sun can be very intense and concerning. I use this on my face. It doesn’t break me out and has perfect coverage. Twice applied during a 3-hour beach outing, did not burn at all. After a few days of this routine, my face is perfectly bronzed." —Mflowers

    31. OGX Locking + Coconut Curls Air Dry Cream is a great, affordable scrunch-and-go option with legions of fans to back up that claim. This'll provide more time for hammock reading than hair styling. Win-win. 

    Promising review: "I put some in my hair for the first time today and I'm impressed! I towel dried my hair and then put about a quarter size in my palm and spread throughout my hair, scrunched my hair, and then let it air dry. I think it did a good job at defining my waves and eliminating the serious frizz." —ninjamommy

    Promising review: "I traveled to London last month with a raincoat that did not have a hood, and wanted something that would protect my head/hair/blowout without lugging an umbrella. This definitely did the trick. Two of the 3 days were rainy (some quite heavy), and my hair stayed totally dry. It stows nicely, too." —Miss Information

    35. A pack of clinical-strength SweatBlock wipes could come in handy for hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating any time of the year. But if summer really makes all that rear its ugly head, it's worth a try. You can apply it to your pits for bed and it's made to work for up to seven days.

    This stuff is STRONG so make sure you do a spot test first — especially if you have sensitive skin.

    Promising review: "For anyone who might be skeptical, 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

    36. A stainless-steel tongue scraper that'll help you kick sour wafts to the curb FAR better than your toothbrush. Though, it'll also do a much better job of scraping off that artificial shaved ice blue or purple you seem to commit to for days at a time every time you take part in your fave summer treat.

    Promising review: "Unfortunately I, like many, suffer from bad breath and have tried so many things to stop it. I read that sometimes it's the germs on your tongue that can cause it, so I went crazy trying to brush my tongue. Of course, we all know how that ends — gagging, watery eyes, and it still looks like that gross film is on your tongue. I finally decided that maybe it was time to get a tongue cleaner and it had to be a stainless steel one because they are easier to clean and sterilize. This product is really easy to use and I can get very far back on my tongue without activating my gag reflex. Also, it doesn't have the feeling like brushing with a toothbrush does. This cleaner just glides across my tongue, taking all the icky germs and bad breath with it. I love my nice new fresh breath and bolster of confidence!" —jordanlauren

    38. Starface Outer Space Foaming Body Cleanser's lime green color will be a fun shower addition. But more importantly — this formula has Willow bark extract (a natural alternative to salicylic acid) and AHAs (glycolic, lactic, and malic acids) to help exfoliate and hydrate skin. Now that's especially good news if you tend to break out a bit on your back in the summer.
