Stay Cool
If I had to pick just a few things to make a heatwave more bearable, I'd start here. These are the products I'd grab before heading outside.
I've been seeing this everywhere lately, and I understand why. Having a fan, cooling plate, and mist all in one device makes it much more convenient than carrying separate products.
Shark ChillPill Portable Fan Misting and Icy Cooling Plate Carbon
A portable fan is one of those things you don't think about until you really need it. This one is compact enough to keep in your bag all summer.
Portable Handheld Fans | Quiet & Rechargeable
Perfect if you're going to be walking around, standing in lines, or spending time outdoors. I like that it keeps your hands free.
JISULIFE Neck Fans in Fans
Wet it, snap it, and drape it around your neck. It's a simple product, but it really helps when the temperature starts climbing.
Cooling Towels for Instant Heat Relief
If you spend a lot of time working from home, this is one of those upgrades you'll appreciate every single day during the summer.
Dyson Cool Tower Fan AM07 White/Silver 464818-01
Sleeping in a hot room is miserable. A cooling blanket can make warm nights much more comfortable without having to lower the thermostat even more.
Cool Blankets | Lightweight Cooling & Breathable Options
Hydration Essentials
When it's this hot, staying hydrated becomes even more important. These are the products that help me actually drink enough water throughout the day.
This is the water bottle I find myself reaching for the most. It keeps drinks cold for hours, which makes drinking water a lot more enjoyable.
FreeSip® Water Bottle
Great if you're at your desk most of the day and like having a large amount of cold water within reach.
The Quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler | 40oz | Stanley 1913 US
I like keeping these around for especially hot days or after spending a long time outside.
Liquid I.V. products at Target
If you prefer an electrolyte option without added sugar, this is a great alternative.

Bigger ice cubes melt more slowly, so your drinks stay cold much longer.
Silicone Ice Cube Trays with Lids
If flavored water helps you drink more throughout the day, this is an easy addition.
Stur Water Enhancers in Powdered Drink Mixes
Sun Protection
The heat is one thing, but protecting your skin is just as important. These are the products I'd pack before heading outside.
One of my favorite sunscreens because it feels lightweight and comfortable enough to wear every day.
La Roche Posay Anthelios Sunscreen Melt-In-Milk Lotion Face and ...
I especially like this one under makeup because it doubles as a smooth base.
The Unseen Sunscreen Collection
It's easy to forget your lips need sunscreen too, especially if you're outside for hours.
Sun Bum Lip Balms & Conditioners in Skincare
Sometimes the simplest products make the biggest difference. A good hat adds instant shade and helps you stay cooler.
Sunday Afternoons Hat
Keeping this facial mist in the refrigerator during the summer makes it even more refreshing.
