We’re spending more time outdoors these days, which means more exposure to sun rays, heat and humidity. It also means that it's time to prep your skin (and hair!) for the upcoming season. Take it from Shop TODAY contributor Makho Ndlovu, who stopped by TODAY to give us the scoop on the summer finds she recommends packing in your beach bag. From cooling moisturizers to anti-humidity sprays that prevent frizz, we put together a complete list of products to add to your summer beauty survival kit. The best part? You can shop all of them right on Amazon, starting as low as $7.

This has been the "it" lip balm of the last few years, having gone super viral on TikTok and earning its status as a Shop TODAY award-winning, tried-and-true favorite. It has a light tint and instantly adds hydration and shine. "This is my absolute favorite lip balm," Ndlovu vouches. "I use this all the time. If your lips are like mine and they get dry or flaky, this instantly adds moisture and makes them look smoother and healthier."

This anti-humidity spray is a game-changer for summer humidity. It’s an affordable solution for keeping frizz and flyaways at bay all season long, thanks to the protectant “shield” it provides to strands. One Shop TODAY producer gave it a try — spraying on her hair before styling with a hot tool — and swears that it kept her locks tame for over 24 hours. The formula can also help to extend the life of already-styled hair and even acts as a heat protectant, up to 450 degrees.

Prep your feet for sandal season with this exfoliating spray. Its skin-renewal formula can help with the appearance of cracked heels and calluses, as well as give your feet a softer, smoother feel by eliminating dead skin. Ndlovu calls it a game-changing product, sharing that it can help to alleviate dryness, without having to pay for a salon treatment.

Ndlovu shares that this "frozen cream" is going viral for its cooling and dewy skin-care effects. A new version of Belif’s bestselling moisturizer, this formula is designed to reduce skin temperature by over 10 degrees with tiny, dissolving beads of eucalyptus extract, says the brand. "Having personally tested this out over the last few months, I can confirm that it has a significant cooling effect, which is perfect for summer days when your skin feels hot, puffy or irritated," reports production associate Audrey Ekman.

Summer means showing more skin, and if shaving or waxing leaves you with bumps or ingrown hairs, this No. 1 bestselling treatment on Amazon (with over 60,000 ratings) can help. "This can be used on common areas like the face, neck, legs, underarms and bikini line after shaving to reduce redness, calm skin and exfoliate to prevent ingrown hairs or bumps," Ndlovu says. "It was recommended to one of our editors by a friend and now it’s a staple in her bathroom."

This popular lip stain is designed to stay put on your pout for up to eight hours, making it one of the more low-maintenance products in your makeup routine. All you have to do is apply it to the lips, let it dry for 20 seconds — or up to 60 seconds for bolder pigment — and then wipe it off. "The finish of the lip stain is matte and so natural-looking that it looks like I was born with a naturally cherry-colored pout and not my usual ghostly pale lips," says editor Shannon Garlin. "Plus, it lasts for a long time and doesn't transfer!"

If you tend to get oily throughout the day, you need a quality powder to make sure your look stays perfect. This pressed shine eraser may be your answer. It’s designed to go on as a gel but dries down like an invisible powder, working to instantly mattify your skin and eliminate shine. “I love that it easily melts into the skin, creating a soft-focus finish without caking, creasing or altering your makeup,” says Shop TODAY contributor Melissa Garcia.

Glassy skin is so in for the summer, but the look doesn’t just happen overnight — unless you throw on one of these face masks, that is. By applying one before bed, you can wake up to a more hydrated complexion, firmer skin tone and stronger barrier, per the brand. One Shop TODAY contributor found it so comfortable, she was able to wear it for two hours without issue. “This smoothed my face and left it feeling plump, hydrated, and healthy. My face felt snatched and tight, but not dry. It seemed bouncy and radiant,” she said.

Use these patches to target dark circles and puffiness on early summer mornings. They’re made with a handful of great ingredients (niacinamide, kojic acid, caffeine) that can help hydrate those sensitive areas and even diminish the look of fine lines. These quickly became a staple in editor Kamari Stewart-Jackson's skin-care routine, who formerly shared that they were a huge help "to never look as tired as I actually am" while working full-time, studying in grad school and training for her first marathon.
