And if you need a little inspo to treat yourself, we've got you, with some of our favorite picks to make this summer your coolest/ comfiest/ most fun yet.
Frankie4: Drew Sneaker
"Cute summer shoes" doesn't have to mean flip-flops with zero support, or high-heeled espadrilles that make your feet ache. Frankie4's Drew sneakers are stylish and comfy, designed by a female podiatrist to support posture and spinal health — and they can be instantly customized for wide, narrow, or standard feet.
Supergoop!: Glow Stick SPF 50
Lots of us skimp on the SPF due to an uncomfortable truth: many sunscreens feel slimy, sticky, or just unpleasant on your skin. Supergoop is dedicated to changing that, by making feel-good sunscreen that fits into your daily beauty routine. The Glow Stick is a dry oil sunscreen for face, chest and shoulders that you can take on the go — and not only will it go on without any grease or stickiness, it will actually accentuate your glow.

It can also help dull, dry skin look dewier.

How many times have you uncorked a bottle of wine for a summer picnic or BBQ, only to watch most of it go to waste? Wander + Ivy was created to combat this issue, with a line of single-serving premium wines sourced from award-winning organic vineyards around the world, served from stylish glass bottles.
Westman Atelier: Lit Up Highlight Stick

The Lit Up Highlight Stick — created by leading editorial makeup artist Gucci Westman — helps you get the most done with the least amount of makeup, providing an all-around glow with its translucent gel highlighter. The result is a lightweight, dewy finish that won't feel stifling in the heat — a finish achieved without silicones, parabens, PEGs, phthalates, or synthetic fragrances.
Peter Thomas Roth: Cucumber De-Tox Hydra-Gel Eye Patches
If you're looking to reduce the look of puffiness, dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles AND cool down, pop these detoxing eye patches in the fridge before you put them on. The result will not only nourish and hydrate your skin — it might actually help you beat the heat.
