24 Summer Products To Help Beat Sweat
A cooling towel designed to help keep you from having a heatstroke during your summer hikes. Just wet, shake, and sling it around your neck for instant cooling that'll stave off your sweat. Don't let the heat keep you from reaching the top!
Or a neck cooling tube that's basically an ice pack you can wear, minus the freezer burn or soaking wet T-shirt you end up with after it melts. It's designed to be sweat-proof, flexible, and lightweight to keep you comfortable *and* cool over two hours!
A pack of SweatBlock wipes so you can wear that light-colored shirt again without fear of it changing colors. These are made with pure aluminum chloride to block your sweat for over a WEEK! You can say goodbye to sweat stains and hello to dry pits.
A hands-free, rechargeable neck fan for your summer vacation because no one told you Europe has no AC! It has three adjustable speeds with a multi-stage air duct that keeps the fan super quiet, meaning you can hit all the tourist spots without attracting too much attention (though you might catch a few envious stares from people wishing they had their own fan).
A mini handheld fan that triples as a flashlight *and* a power bank so you're ultra prepared for your next desert music festival. Nothing is worse than overheating or sweating off your glitter makeup as you stand in a crowd waiting for your favorite artist. With up to 19 hours of battery life on a single charge, it'll keep you cool until the sun goes down!
A pair of cooling arm sleeves designed with moisture-wicking fabric that also blocks 98% of the sun's UV rays. If your summer goals involve a marathon or just riding your bike more often, these sleeves will help keep you protected and cool as a cucumber. You can't use "it's too hot out" as an excuse anymore; get out there!
A handheld misting fan that'll be your savior this baseball season. As you lounge watching your kiddo practice their pitch, you can have AC right in your hand or hanging from your umbrella. You'll be the cool parent who's *not* drenched in sweat, chugging their kids' water.
A Megababe Thigh Rescue stick for your poor thighs that can't last through a whole day of sightseeing. There's no reason you should be walking around this summer in jeans (an overheating, sweaty nightmare)! Swipe this on *before* your next long adventure so your skin can glide with no friction or irritation. BTW, this also works for that annoying bra strap that rubs your skin to the bone, or those shoes that have not stopped giving you blisters.
A double-sided cooling blanket in case your partner can't sleep with the AC on, but you can't sleep without it — this is an easy compromise. One side is made with a Japanese cooling fabric that absorbs your body's natural heat to keep you sweat-free, while the other side is made of lightweight cotton so you can still feel cozy, but *not* like you're wrapped in a hot, fresh tortilla.
A cooling pillow that'll have you waking up dry instead of in a pillow puddle. It has a distinct cooling side so you don't have to flip your pillow back and forth all night and with adjustable filling so you can have the perfect amount of plush. You can say hello to a dry, full night's sleep!
A tower fan for when AC is just not in the budget this month. No need to have your house become a personal sauna, because this powerhouse of a fan blows cool air at up to 25 feet per second! It has four speeds, from a gentle breeze to a storm of wind.
An outdoor misting system that'll transform your backyard into a tropical rainforest. It releases a light mist that absorbs the surrounding heat, keeping your area to a comfortable 73 degrees Fahrenheit without leaving you drenched in water.
A pack of deodorant wipes for when your antiperspirant decides to clock out by noon. There's no need to panic when you get a quick whiff of your B.O. — these wipes remove sweat, odor, and bacteria so you can go back to work feeling like you took a quick shower.
A can of thermal spring water to give you instant cooling after a long, sweaty gym sesh. Sure, it's ~technically~ water in a can, but reviewers swear its soothing mineral formula has helped calm their skin's redness, and the mist is so light that it won't overly wet your already sweat-drenched face.
A Brumate Era 40-ounce water bottle that'll be your emotional support as you battle the summer heat. It's *actually* leakproof, allowing you to lock your straw so you can simply toss it in any bag instead of having to hold it all day. The inner part of the straw is stainless steel, keeping plastic out of your drink, and the insulation keeps your water cool for over 24 hours so you can have that *ahhh* ice-cold sip every time. No more hot car water to quench your thirst during a long road trip.
A bottle of sweat-absorbing hand lotion for those moments you want to make the first move but don't want to be humbled by your clammy hands. This lotion helps manage symptoms of excessive hand sweat without adding another layer of slippery grease. Just apply a pea-size amount and enjoy a long, romantic walk in the park without feeling the need to wipe your hands every five seconds.
A sweat-absorbing headband to catch all your forehead sweat before it blinds you during your bike ride. It's made with lightweight, sweat-wicking fabric that'll keep you dry — and *without* feeling like a soaking wet towel is just plopped on your head.
A set of cooling bed sheets for when your bed feels like a human oven that's cooking you for dinner. Waking up feeling like a rotisserie chicken? *Not* how you should start your day. These sheets have a silky, breathable bamboo fabric that stays cool all night long and wicks away moisture so you can get a *refreshing* eight hours of sleep and not wake up in a puddle.
A pack of cooling patches you can stick to your neck, back, or right on your head for an instant cool-down that lasts up to eight hours! They cover a lot of surface area but can also be cut to fit comfortably on any part of your body (or for small kids). You can even hide them under your clothes, so when you're walking around the amusement park, everyone will be questioning how you're not drenched in sweat.
OneSize On 'Til Dawn setting spray that'll keep your full beat on your face instead of melting away the second you walk outside. Its weightless, waterproof formula gives you an airbrush finish that won't make you want to crawl out of your skin from layers of product. Makeup and sweat don't mix, so lock it in!
A bladeless fan to keep you from sweating through your businesswear in your office that has yet to get working AC. It's small enough to place right on your desk, and it's quiet, so your cubicle neighbor won't file a complaint (they'll be asking to borrow it instead).
Supergoop (Re)setting Powder with SPF 35 for when your poolside makeup look is starting to sweat away — now you can mattify your shine and get an extra dose of UV protection at the same time. Just toss it in your beach bag for quick touch-ups all day.
A pair of moisture control socks since you can't just rub deodorant all over your feet. (I guess you can, but pls don't put it back in your armpit.) These socks are made with a soft, breathable fabric that wicks away sweat and enhances airflow so that during a long day of work, you're *not* walking around with puddles in your shoes.

Meet Kulfi, The South Asian-Inspired Beauty Brand Making Waves At Space NK
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. I distinctly remember the day when I was at school and a boy in my maths class slipped me a note. I opened it and staring back at me was a rudimentary caricature of me, only with big, fat caterpillars where my brows should be. I wanted to disappear. The following year, I obsessively tweezed my brows to the point where they were uneven, scrawny husks of their former selves (luckily they grew back) and began shaving my arm hair and bleaching my moustache — even though it made my skin itch like it was on fire. It was one thing to be aware of things I didn't like about myself, but it was as if my worst fear was realised when other people noticed them, too. As a mixed-race Asian-American woman, I felt like I was constantly retaliating against my body's natural tendency towards hairiness; many Japanese women I saw looked as smooth as a dolphin and it made me feel like a beast in comparison. The stigma I experienced as a woman with visible body and facial hair was even heavier with the pressure of Asian beauty standards — and I'm not alone. A similar story inspired Priyanka Ganjoo to create a beauty brand, Kulfi, that celebrates and represents her Indian heritage. One of the brand's launches, Free The Brow, particularly embodies the brand's ethos of celebrating and enhancing your natural features: In addition to defining and enhancing brows in a single sweep, it conditions them with ingredients like vitamin E and sunflower oil. (Before you ask, no: It doesn't tame brows, because spoiler alert — they don't need to be tamed in the first place.) In an interview with R29, Priyanka gets candid about embracing body hair, finding inspiration in South Asian culture and why she's on a mission to make makeup fun again. The following interview was told to Karina Hoshikawa and has been edited for length and clarity. On starting a beauty brand It's wild to me that I started a makeup brand because I didn't even wear makeup until my late 20s. I just felt like it wasn't for me — it was for a certain aesthetic or a certain type of girl that wasn't me. I didn't feel included in that conversation. I did an MBA and got into the beauty industry from a business side at Estée Lauder, and then at Ipsy. I realised that makeup can be really fun, and I started trying things by myself and went on this discovery. I wondered, Are there brands serving South Asian consumers?, both from a product perspective — their undertones, products that address their concerns — but also the community. So I decided to do it myself. I wanted to embrace the fun, playfulness and artistry of makeup. That's what we're called Kulfi. Kulfi is a South Asian ice cream dessert that's colourful, flavorful and delicious. I wanted beauty to feel like that experience, too. It's fun to put on glittery eyeshadow! [It means so much to me] for people to see a brand called Kulfi — which, again, if you're South Asian, you get it immediately — and feel seen in that. On embracing facial & body hair Growing up, I had a lot of facial hair and my brows were made fun of. If you had one piece of hair on your arm, you were teased for it. I grew up in India and it was the case there, too. Even though those were our natural features, we were aggressively trying to get rid of facial hair and have super skinny brows. It took a lot of unlearning for me to embrace my hair like that, which led to Free The Brow. It doesn't just make your brows beautiful and look laminated, but it actually supports and nourishes your brows. Hair oiling is an Indian beauty tradition, where we try to make our hair thicker, longer and more luscious — [ Free The Brow ] is inspired by that but for your brows. I'm so glad we're able to create products like that and have this beautiful campaign. I wanted someone with a unibrow for this campaign, and the model we found applied to our TikTok casting call. She was like, 'I've never touched my brows.' She just walked in so proud of her brows and the result is beautiful. It's such an emotional story to grow up wanting to get rid of all your [facial] hair, and it's kind of crazy how so many of us have had these experiences because we've been trained to think that facial hair is bad, or that thick brows are masculine — like that's inherently negative. On being inspired by South Asian culture We're inspired a lot by South Asian culture and textile art. When we launched the kajal eyeliner, the colours were inspired by saris and the colours we see in clothes: shades like teal and terracotta that we know are flattering on us when we wear [them] but hadn't been translated to makeup. We have this beautiful duochrome shadow in chartreuse with this greenish-gold shift. It's such a unique colour in makeup, but actually, there are a lot of Indian textiles and art that use that colour. Being able to take that inspiration and translate that into makeup is the artistry part of our brand. Most people want to have a black liner in their makeup kit, but what our community also told us is that they're tired of seeing the same shades every brand has to offer. There is this desire for something that helps them experience joy. This is just a starting point. I honestly feel like within the beauty industry, there was this call for diversity and inclusion when Fenty [Beauty] launched, and there was this huge momentum during the Black Lives Matter movement. There's so much work still to be done and shade inclusion is not just about foundation shades, right? It's also about how we create blushes, lipsticks and all these other products that look flattering on a diverse set of skin tones. If you have a deep skin tone, one blush shade shouldn't be the only option you have on the table. There's still so much we have to do and that's what I'm really excited for in the future, to keep kind of pushing those boundaries and keep making beauty fun for everyone. We've received messages where people are like, 'I love that you put someone who looks like me on the campaign because it makes me feel seen,' and 'I didn't see that growing up in a small town where I was the only person of colour.' We have people share stories like that, stories that are really, really powerful. On her favourite Kulfi products Oh, this is a hard one. I have a very special spot in my heart for our Zari Eyes eyeshadow because I used to be terrified of eyeshadow. Lipstick is, in some ways, easier — you just put it on. I could do that. Eyeshadow was more intimidating and I thought it didn't look good on me. That's why we [created] our formula, which is intentionally designed to apply the most beautifully if you use your fingers. It actually picks up very little product with a brush. [But when applying with fingers], literally in a minute, you can have a beautiful eye look that's really easy. I use it all the time because it made this thing that was so complex easy for me and enjoyable. It represents everything we're trying to do. Obviously, the Mehendi Moment blush. Initially, there was hesitation because purple blushes aren't as mainstream, but this has actually become our bestselling blush shade. It's a pink-toned purple that looks beautiful on olive undertones and I love that it came from our community not wanting just one mauve option for blush. We're trying to create this assortment of colours that everyone feels welcome to play with and that looks good on a variety of skin tones. Combined with our storytelling and the inspiration we get from South Asian culture, there's so much more we can do.
