    42 Problem-Solving Products For Every Last One Of Your Summertime Issues

    Catch me out here sweatin' and strugglin' until September.

    1. A cold therapy ice roller if your skin turns into a hot, sweaty mess at the first sign of summer. It's also really effective at fighting migraines and treating large swathes of overheated skin.

    2. A tube of body deodorant that'll help keep your dingleberries fresh, dry, and totally chafe-free. It's less messy than talc or other powdery products and won't stain your pants, either.

    3. A magnetic screen door you can pop open and shut without using your hands. Reviewers love that it doesn't tear or snag when rambunctious pets run through it, either.

    4. A jar of moisturizing after-sun cream that'll soothe any skin tuckered out by too much sunlight. It uses non-psychoactive cannabis seed oil and aloe vera to calm irritations and leave you looking glowy (not roasted).

    5. A rechargeable portable fan that'll help you keep your cool when you're out and about. You can wrap its flexible octopus legs around a treadmill handle, use them to hang it from a car headrest, or create a stand out of them so it can sit on your desk.

    6. Or an oscillating fan that'll keep you cool and comfy if your AC is struggling. It's whisper-quiet, too, so you won't be kept up all night in your quest for a cooler bedroom.

    7. A pair of cold therapy socks that'll help your hot feet find their chill. The secret? Removable ice pack linings along the sole and the top of the foot that'll give you all-around relief.

    8. A bottle of SPF-packed scalp mist if even your hair can't save you from the sun. Its extra-long nozzle is perfect for getting it where you want, rather than spraying and praying it won't end up all over your bathroom.

    9. A water-repellant cushion that'll give your drab patio sitch a serious colour upgrade. It'll even resist stains and fading, meaning no amount of bright summer sun (or spilled sangria) will ruin your decor vibes.

    10. A bottle of Tower 28 facial spray that'll calm down even the feistiest skin. It's pH-balancing, fragrance-free, and completely non-drying, so you can mist it on as much as you like whenever your dermis is acting like a total fool.

    11. A cooling towel that'll provide instant relief during heatwaves. Because it's extra-long, you can wrap it around your noggin, drape it over your shoulders, or even use it to swaddle an overheated puppy.

    12. A pack of gardening gloves that'll keep your digits clean when you're elbow deep in your garden. Their petite rubber beads will give you some serious grip — perfect if you're planning on doing some heavy lifting.

    13. A bottle of DEET-free bug repellant that'll protect you from their pesky lil' chompers. It has a citronella base and a refreshing citrus-vanilla fragrance that won't leave you stinky and sticky.

    14. Or a pack of mosquito-repelling stickers if you're not a fan of dousing yourself with sprays and lotions. They'll work for up to 72 hours, which is great if you're a tad on the forgetful side (it me).

    15. A pack of double-sided clothing tape strips if your sweet summer 'fits tend to have a mind of their own. They'll never slip out of place and won't leave any residue on your skin (or your fabrics).

    16. A super-speedy drink chiller for when you need iced coffee pronto. It'll get frosty in seconds (like, less than 60), so you won't have to wait around for your java to cool before you mix up a sweet iced treat.

    17. A pack of oversized pimple patches that are big enough tackle uncomfy body breakouts. They can be snipped into all kinds of shapes and sizes, so zits won't have anywhere to hide.

    18. A tube of natural deodorant that'll actually make you smell fresh as a daisy. It goes on silky-smooth and will keep your sweet lil' pits nice and dry through the dog days of summer.

    20. A box of adorable waterproof bandages you'll wanna slap onto all your booboos. They're free of latex, gluten, and silicone, which is perfect for anyone who's allergic (and can't use regular bandages).

    21. A bottle of dry shampoo for when it's too damn hot for wash day. It's got built-in conditioner that reviewers say makes their mane feel softer and less frizzy afterwards.

    22. And a tube of scalp-detoxing hair mask if you've been rocking dry shampoo non-stop (but hate the residue). This baby doubles as a fantastic conditioner, giving locks a seriously soft and volumized finish.

    23. A 2-in-1 cooler speaker so you can bring the party wherever the summer takes you. It can hold up to 16 cans and has an impressive six-hour battery life that'll keep the tunes pumping all day long.

    24. A bottle of anti-chafing powder that'll keep all your bits dry and comfortable (no matter what you put them through). It's sweat-absorbing, friction-reducing, and contains soothing calamine powder that'll help keep irritation at bay, too.

    25. A pair of protective sleeves that'll help keep you sunburn-free while you're enjoying the outdoors. They're lightweight and breathable (not to mention super stretchy), so you can comfortably go about your day without worrying about getting singed by the sun.

    26. A bottle of Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray with all the serious holding power of the OG formula (but with more good-for-your-skin ingredients). It's got vitamin C to keep your skin glowing for up to 16 hours and your ~lewk~ locked in place, no matter how high the temps climb.

    27. A set of patio lights so you can keep the party going even after the sun goes down. They have a handy dimmable function to help you save energy and set the mood.

    28. A tube of anti-friction foot balm that'll make blisters and chafing nothing but a distant memory. It's made of beeswax and vegetable oil, so it'll be safe to slather onto sensitive areas, too (like your thighs and underarms).

    29. A tulip-shaped fly swatter because you're not just any pest assassin — you're a stylish one. It's cute enough to leave on display (it's got a suction cup base), so you'll be able to draw your weapon in a flash during the next mosquito invasion.

    30. A mattifying facial roller that'll keep your complexion from turning into a shiny, greasy mess. The secret is the volcanic stone — it'll sop up all that extra oil, so it can't cause any annoying zits to crop up.

    31. A light-up drink sleeve that'll keep you from losing your sweet bevvy during an evening park hang. Thanks to the reflective strip, it'll still be visible even when if you forget to switch it on.

    32. A lululemon swim tee if all your worst sunburns always happen by the pool. Unlike your standard cotton T-shirts, this one's made of a light-as-air fabric that'll block out UV rays without weighing you down.

    33. A pack of fizzing electrolyte tablets that'll help get you rehydrated in a hurry. You can add them to smoothies, post-workout shakes, or just a plain glass of H2O if you're not fancy — reviewers say they help with everything from hangovers to dehydration headaches.

    34. A tub of Nexxus scalp scrub that'll help lift away some of the residue living on your head (what even is that?). It skips the parabens and sulfates that may weigh down your hair, so your scalp and strands will feel clean as a whistle.

    35. A dual-ended bikini trimmer if you like to keep your hair in check (and aren't too keen on painful waxing). One end is equipped with an electric trimmer that'll help you shape and sculpt, while the razor end can transform your carpet into a hardwood floor *wink wink*.

    36. A tube of After Bite lotion that'll help take the ~sting~ out of insect bites (thanks to the blend of aloe vera, baking soda, and tea tree oil). The formula's gentle enough for kiddos, which means it's non-stinging — even on the bites you've been scratching at for weeks.

    37. A tub of Wet 'n' Wild translucent powder that'll set your makeup and keep your look locked in during the hottest days of the year. And no worries about caking — you can reapply it throughout the day without having to stress about things looking chalky or clumpy.

    38. A pair of chilling wands that'll cool down your fave chardonnay without watering it down. Their silicone hook handles will make them easy to remove once you've reached ~maximum chill~ (and won't accidentally chip your glassware).

    39. A packable pet bowl so you can keep your fur bb hydrated when you're out of the house. Thanks to the removable ice pack, the water will stay nice and cool (even on the hottest days of summer).

    40. A travel-sized citronella candle that's small enough to bring along to the beach. It's DEET-free and has an impressive burn time of 30 hours, so you can focus on enjoying the sunshine (instead of warding off pesky mosquitoes).

    41. A pack of stainless steel grilling combs if you're tired of getting splinters in your fingers during BBQ season. Every tasty ingredient will get it's very own prong, so you can pull off morsels in whatever order you like.

    42. And lastly, a reversible outdoor rug that'll protect your feet from deck splinters and other outside debris. Reviewers say it's comfy to walk and sit on, and love that it dries in a flash — perfect for any sudden summer rainstorms.
