The best wetness protection, jog bra and shower gel will help keep you feeling cool--and clean-all summer long.

Outsmart Sweat

If there's one must-have during the summer months, it's deodorant. Bahar Takhtehchian, Lifestyle Expert, recommends Degree Women's Dry Spray Deodorant in Daisy Fresh. "What's great about this is Degree's MOTIONSENSE Technology that is designed to respond to your body's movement, offering superior protection. I like that it goes on dry so you get that cleaner feel. I also love the fact that it helps you stay confident no matter what activity you're doing. Whether you're surfing, running errands or just going about your day this is a product that you really need to have in your gym bag and of course in your actual bathroom for everyday use as well," she says.

Stay-Cool Bra

Exercise is really important all year round, and summer is no exception. Don't let the high temperatures slow you down. Opt for a sports bra with thoughtful features created to keep you cool during your workout. "The Champion Warrior sports bra has some great technology, including vapor technology that actually wicks away moisture to keep you nice and dry. Plus, parts of the band are perforated which means it keeps your hot zones nice and cool as you're working out," says Takhtehchian, who also points out the adjustable gel straps as a great feature. "They prevent any sort of digging, which many other sports bras fail to do," she says. Also, note the array of beautiful colors.

Shower Power

Many of us are familiar with Method's gel hand soaps. Now they have shower products, perfect after an active day outdoors or at work. Whenever you need a refreshing shower, grab a new gel body wash in one of five amazing fragrances: Waterfall, Green Tea Aloe, Mandarin Mango, Coconut Milk and Lilac Blossom. "These are about 5.99 at Target stores and Target.com. Just like the amazing hand soaps, they are paraben-free and free of animal byproducts. They also have a really great lather that rinses off smooth and clean so you feel incredibly clean and fresh and amazing," says Takhtehchian.
