10 Heat-Fighting Amazon Products to Get This Summer - CNET
This summer, heat waves continue to hit the US. Rising temperatures and punishing heat make going outside unbearable, but some of us don’t have a choice. If you are out and about this summer, make sure you are staying safe and keeping cool.
Here are 10 items you can use to survive this year’s heat waves and summer highs.
1. Electrolyte powder
When you spend lots of time in the heat, your body actively loses water and electrolytes — minerals found in the body that have a charge — through sweat. It’s important to replace that lost water and electrolytes with fluids. If you struggle to drink eight cups of water a day in the summer (and sometimes you need more if you are extremely active in the heat), an electrolyte drink can help replenish your body.
The best electrolyte powders usually contain sodium, calcium, potassium, phosphate, chloride and/or magnesium. Electrolytes such as these can balance your body’s water and pH levels, move nutrients throughout your cells, carry out waste from your cells, and ensure all muscles, bodily functions and nerves are working properly.

Liquid I.V. powder provides two times faster hydration than water alone. It includes five vitamins and and many electrolytes.
One bag of Liquid I.V. includes 16 on-the-go packets. Add one packet to 16 ounces of water and stir.
2. Water bottle
Rule No. 1 for surviving the heat: drink lots of water. Whether this is water or an electrolyte drink, hydration in the summer is key. You don’t want to become dehydrated. Symptoms of dehydration include feeling tired, dark yellow urine, sunken eyes, headache and feeling lightheaded.
I find that I drink the most water when I carry a water bottle around with me. I also drink more water when it stays ice cold throughout the day. An insulated water bottle — one made with stainless steel — will do just that.

Choose between an 18-, 21- or 24-ounce Hydro Flask. Made with Pro-Made stainless steel, this water bottle is non-free, BPA-free and keeps water cold for up to 24 hours.
3. Portable fan
When you miss the indoors or are dealing with broken AC, a portable fan is handy. Cool down while on a walk, traveling or doing anything in the sun. It can even be useful for summer camping or hanging at the beach.
Look for a portable fan that can be easily rechargeable. There are even fans that can mist your face.

This chargeable, handheld fan is also a flashlight and a portable charger. Speed one can last up to 21 hours between charging and speed two can last up to 14 hours.
4. Sunscreen
If you want to beat the heat, you first need to make sure your skin is protected. Wearing sunscreen should always be a priority if you are doing anything outside this summer. In addition to wearing sunglasses, a hat and/or UV protective clothing, sunscreen provides a shield to your delicate skin. Sunscreen provides not only protection from sun cancer but also signs of sun damage and premature aging.
You can try chemical, mineral or combo sunscreen. If you want a sunscreen that won’t leave a white cast, look for a product with a light serum. If you have acne-prone skin, use a sensitive mineral or combo sunscreen.

5. Countertop ice machine
There is nothing better than an ice cold drink on a hot day. You can bring the ice directly to you with a countertop ice machine. Add ice to your water or store beverages and take them with you; a countertop ice machine can be transported from one place to another. Take it camping orbring it to an outdoor party. As long as you have access to an outlet, you can have cold ice handy.
