People Always Ask Me What to Buy From Amazon—These Are My Top 3 Summer Finds

If the sweltering weather has you glued to the couch with the AC blasting—same. On the days I do venture out into the heat, I need a little backup; a.k.a., things that'll help me get through the 90-degree temps before and after. Fortunately, I never run out of Amazon recommendations (just ask my friends and family), so it's no surprise that I have three summer go-tos from the retailer I'm relying on heavily right now.

I recently discovered Pacifica's Rosemary Purify Shampoo and Conditioner, which packs a lightweight, clarifying punch to summer-ridden strands. While I'm using the duo to get an effective cleanse on my oiler-than-usual hair, it has a second, arguably more enticing feature: Its main ingredient, rosemary, is known to improve hair growth. My mane is on the thinner, finer side, so I'm keen to see some added thickness over time.

I know I'm late to the party with this next one, but I can officially say EltaMD's UV Clear Sunscreen really is that girl. It's no surprise that the tinted and untinted versions have a combined 48,000-plus five-star ratings; they leave behind a fresh, dewy glow that'll replace your usual primer and foundation. Lastly, when it comes to summer attire, this flattering empire waist dress is one of my all-time favorite Amazon finds. The breezy, under-the-radar dress easily takes me from casual walks to cute dinner dates, and the fabric is high-quality enough that I can wear it braless, too (a summer treat!).
