Amazon summer beauty and fashion previously seen on TODAY
Shop TODAY editorial director Adrianna Brach previously joined TODAY to share a few of her favorite wardrobe and beauty essentials to help you feel prepared for the season. From the “perfect T-shirt” that you can wear again and again to a hair mist that will help you achieve the beach waves of your dreams, Brach has you covered with all your summer essentials.
Ouai Wave Spray
If you were wondering how you can achieve effortless beachy waves, Brach says this one-and-done spray is the ultimate summer beauty essential. To use, just spritz it on damp or dry hair to help enhance its natural texture. Brach says she also likes to spray it on her roots for more volume.
Goshi Exfoliating Shower Towel
Since it's the season of short sleeves, Brach says keeping your skin exfoliated is an absolute must. That's why she loves this Japanese exfoliating cloth, which is designed with threads for both lathering and exfoliating to scrub away dirt and dead skin, says the brand. It will even help with ingrown hairs and bumpy skin, ultimately leaving you feeling cleaner and smoother, says Brach.
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré
Brach says this multi-tasking French cream has been one of her favorite discoveries during her tenure as a beauty editor, adding that industry professionals swear by it. Formulated with shea butter and aloe vera, the brand says it can be used as a daytime or nightly face cream, primer or facial mask. Brach loves applying it in the morning after using a cold face roller and says it leaves her skin feeling instantly awake, plump and soft.
Miholl Short Sleeve V-Neck T-Shirt
This bestselling tee is made of a cotton-blend fabric, which Brach says is the key to the perfect T-shirt since it tends to be softer. In fact, she loved the flattering fit of this option so much, she immediately bought more. It comes in over 40 colors and patterns, and Brach says you can wear them again and again, and they'll still look good as new!
Zesica Bohemian Maxi Skirt
Other than a versatile tee, Brach says a cute maxi skirt is your next summer staple because you can dress it down with a T-shirt or dress it up with heels and a blouse. This flowy option comes in tons of boho-style patterns and it sits high-waisted, making it incredibly flattering.
Cupshe One-Piece Swimsuit
If you're looking to upgrade your swimwear for summer, Brach calls this one-piece "the little black dress of swimsuits." She loves the flattering tummy-control design and says this Shop TODAY editor-fave will look amazing on everyone. And the best part? It's under $35!
More Amazon summer beauty bestsellers
Brach previously stopped by TODAY to share six bestselling Amazon beauty finds that can help you troubleshoot your summer beauty routine, so you can look and feel your best throughout the next few months.
Buf Puf Body Sponge
The secret to glowing skin? Exfoliating. According to experts, the process helps slough off dead skin cells, so your skin can feel soft and smooth while you sport sleeveless tanks and dresses this summer. This sponge in particular is taking over social media and has nearly 4,000 verified five-star ratings from shoppers. It's dual-sided, so you can use one side to scrub and the other to smooth the skin.
Beauty by Earth Self Tanner Tanning Lotion
Dermatologists don't recommend sunbathing during the summer months (or ever, really) since it can put you at an increased risk for skin damage. If you still want to achieve a sun-kissed glow, this lotion takes the guesswork out of self-tanning, Brach said. Since it is a lotion, there's less of a chance that it will stain your sheets or clothing, and it doesn't have a weird smell like other self-tanners tend to have. According to the brand, it develops gradually, so it might take a few applications to start seeing your desired shade — but it's a plus for anyone that is new to self-tanning and wants to avoid waking up with an orange skin tone.
BestLand Hair Finishing Stick
High humidity can cause frizzy hair and flyaways, but this portable hack can tame it down with just a few strokes, says the brand. Whether you're sporting an updo or want to control a few unruly hairs, you can apply the waxy formula to smooth it all out.
Body Glide Anti Chafe Balm
This beauty hack was developed in the '90s in California for use by surfers, which naturally lends it to being a summer beauty staple. You can use it all over your body as a protective balm to help avoid irritation and blisters from shoes, shorts, sneakers and even bathing suits. Plus, the formula is both sweat- and water-resistant, according to the brand.
Body Glide Foot Anti Blister Balm
The brand also makes a balm for your feet, which can help reduce friction when you wear sneakers or sandals.
Frownies Facial Patches
Wrinkle patches are having a moment right now, but this brand predates the current trend — it was established in 1889. When you wear their paper patches overnight, they can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time. According to the brand, the patches help to "train" our facial muscles to reduce their movements when we frown, concentrate or smile, which helps reduce the look of the lines and wrinkles we see when we make those expressions.
Esarora Ice Roller
Estheticians, one Shop TODAY editor and thousands of reviewers love this facial roller for its soothing and de-puffing qualities. You can store it in the freezer before you head to bed and then use it in the morning to help perk up your skin. If you're dealing with sunburn, you can even add some aloe to it and roll it over the area for some relief.

Once contributing writer Anna De Souza laid eyes on this sundress (and the hundreds of rave reviews), she knew she had to have it.

If you're catching any early flights this summer, these "baggage claim" eye masks can help reduce the look of puffiness and dark circles when you arrive at your destination.
