Sweet summertime! The sun is shining, the world is reopening… and our physical and mental health still need all the TLC they can get.

Whether you’re looking for a list of the best sunscreens before you hit the pool, a CBD Gummy for anxiety before you head to that family reunion, or a meditation app to keep your kiddos (or you?) calm while school’s out, our editorial team has plenty of recommendations.

Read on for a few of our editors’ go-to products for summer.

“Smoothies are the only thing I want for breakfast in the summer, but I get bored very easily. Daily Harvest uses ingredients in their smoothies that I’d never buy myself but love — goji berries, anyone?! The smoothies come frozen and perfectly packaged so all you need to do is add liquid and blend. They are on the pricier end, but they have a few different subscription sizes to fit your lifestyle.” — Jamey Powell, Senior Market Editor

“I have a jam-packed summer schedule, so to keep calm, cool, and collected(ish) I use Kanibi's Full Spectrum CBD Oil in the peppermint flavor. It offers a higher potency of 50 mg CBD per 1 mL (I recommend starting at half a dropper, 0.5 mL for 25mg CBD, as you slowly work your way up). Kanibi's flavors are tasty, and as a bonus, you'll have fresh minty breath wherever you go.” — Christy Snyder, Clinical Market Editor

Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost Moisturizer is my go-to for summer because it's lightweight and doesn't feel like it clogs my pores. Even though it has a gel-like texture, it feels like it absorbs well and doesn't sit on top of my skin like some others I've tried. It's a great dupe for more expensive water-based moisturizers which tend to work better with my oily/combination skin."
— Katie Walsh, Market Editor

“As someone who almost never puts on real pants, I love that Girlfriend Collective makes activewear that’s both comfy and cute. Plus, it’s way more sustainable than other brands — everything is made from recycled material, and the brand is super transparent about their manufacturing processes. For summer, my favorite pieces are the ReSet Super Crop (great for workouts or just lounging), the High-Rise Run Short (doesn’t ride up or fall down, even while running), and anything from the Float line (lightweight, cool, and oh-so-comfy).” — Chelsea Logan, Senior Market Editor

“I’m shamelessly obsessed with my Hydroflask water bottle and take it everywhere, all the time. But for summer, especially, it’s key. This thing has literally kept ice icy for hours in 100-degree heat. And bonus: It’s dishwasher safe.” — Chelsea Logan, Senior Market Editor

“I exercise year-round, but when the temperature reaches above 75, I get acne breakouts on my back and shoulders — not-so-great timing for tank top season. I just started using Paula’s Choice Clear Acne Body Spray to combat sweat-induced pimples, and I already see a considerable improvement in my skin! It uses 2% salicylic acid but doesn’t dry me out. If anything, it feels a little sticky but hydrating.” — Jamey Powell, Senior Market Editor

“In the summer, there’s nothing worse than doing your makeup to then go outside and have it melt off your face and crease all over your under-eyes. Lately, I’m obsessed with Tula’s Glow + Get It Cooling and Brightening Eye Balm for a midday under-eye refresh. It smooths and moisturizes, but also has a nice little cooling effect. I swipe it on every time I’m feeling or looking a bit tired.” — Mellanie Perez, Clinical Market Editor
