Dokotoo Swimsuit Cover Up
For a product that can take you from brunch to the beach, reach for this buttoned cover-up. Made out of polyester, this is designed to remain lightweight and cool.
While reviewers warn this item is a bit sheer, they love its "flattering design" as well as the floor length.
Dokotoo Floral Print Blouse
Florals for summer? A must. Save 65% off this blouse that's available in 15 different colors and features a ruffled cuff sleeve.
Plus, the brand boasts that it's lightweight fabric will keep you cool during warm months and special occasions, where the last thing you want are visible sweat stains.
Dream Pairs Gladiator Sandals
Combining a closed toe with the strappy sandal look, these gladiator-like sandals will keep toes concealed while still remaining an effortless slip-on for summer.
Available in six different neutrals, many reviewers are repeat buyers or own multiple pairs of this pick, praising how comfortable they feel.
TruSkin Face Serum Duo
Make your morning (or night!) routine easier with this skin care duo that promises to brighten and tighten your skin with just a couple of drops.
Dermatologists confirm that vitamin C pairs well with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, ingredients that are featured in both of these serums.
Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Drops
For a self tanner that integrates easily into your everyday routine, Isle of Paradise has got you covered. Combine a few drops with your face moisturizer for an easy-to-blend mixture that the brand promises will provide a long-lasting, even tan.
Zaxop Heat-Resistant Silicone Mat
Prevent damage to your countertops with these silicone mats intended to act as a mat for holding your hot tools while in use and during cool down.

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Scent Spray
Annie Shigo, social media editorial assistant, named this as her most complimented scent, with strangers singing her praises as she walks by.
"It is a very light and fresh scent and every time I wear it I get stopped," she says. "It is the perfect scent for on the go and really lasts a long time."
Supergoop! Triple Prep Weightless Multitasking Moisturizer
For a product that combines multiple steps in your morning routine, making sure you've applied SPF has never been easier. This 2-in-1 SPF 40 and moisturizer combo product promises protection and hydration with every swipe.
"This is perfect for those who forget to wear sunscreen everyday (aka me)," admits production coordinator Camryn Privette. "It’s a moisturizer and SPF all in one that’s super hydrating for those with normal to oily skin types. I really love the formula for winter skin and I can’t recommend it enough."
Coola Scalp & Hair Mist Sunscreen Ocean Salted Sage
Out of sight, out of mind is typically the motto when it comes to taking care of our scalp — until it becomes a problem area. Prevent sunburns on your scalp (yes, it's possible!) with this misting spray that provides SPF 30 protection.
"I tried out a few products with varying degrees of dissatisfaction until I came across this sunscreen mist last summer," says senior editor Jess Bender. "It applies easily, stays intact even when I’m outside during longer stretches and it smells great."
The North Face Horizon Breeze Brimmer Hat
Multiple Shop TODAY editors love this hat for how durable and comfortable it is, proving to be more flexible than a baseball cap thanks to its included drawstring that can be adjusted to fit anyone.
"I felt super protected from the sun and also love the drawstring feature," says associate editor Allie Wise. "I have a small head and being able to secure it tighter made me feel safer!"
Rainbow Sandals Single Layer Premier Leather Sandal
Sandal season is here! Rainbow sandals are known for their longevity, with assistant partnerships editor Lauren Witonsky wearing hers down "until a strap breaks," she says.
Their non-slip sole and unexpectedly great arch support work to provide all-day comfort.
