We’re entering the peak heat of the summer season, and we all know that means increased sweat for our normal outdoor activities like gardening, taking a walk or having a catch. 

What you might not know is that heat and sweat provide ideal conditions for the dandruff-causing microbe Malassezia globosa to thrive and raise the chance for a dandruff flare-up. Thankfully, Head & Shoulders BARE has your back – and your scalp, giving you the effective Head & Shoulders dandruff protection, you’d expect from the #1 awarded scalp care brand. It’s made with only nine ingredients, BARE is sulfate, silicone, and dye free, and was created with the clinically proven dandruff-fighting ingredient zinc pyrithione (ZPT), which goes deep to fight dandruff at the source, while keeping your scalp and hair refreshed. No matter your hair type, BARE can fight against dandruff with its two different formulas – BARE Pure Clean for oily hair and scalp, and BARE Soothing Hydration for dry hair and scalp. Not only does it get the job done by leaving your scalp feeling great, but your hair will look fresh and fabulous. Get it right at Walgreens or walgreens.com.

Something else we always need, but especially this time of year is a great deodorant. The new Secret Whole Body Deodorant is designed for your whole body, gynecologist and dermatologist tested, and made with intentional ingredients that can be used all over the body. You can confidently apply it from pits to privates, feet and under your breasts. It is clinically proven for up to 72-hours of odor protection and is free of aluminum, baking soda, dyes, phthalates, and parabens. It comes in three forms: spray, stick and cream that goes on clear so no residue on clothes or anything. You can find it right at food and drugstores starting at $12.99.

Summertime can bring lots of messes, so it’s always good to take along wipes. WaterWipes are amazing for anything sandy, melty and sticky including sunscreen-covered hands, and ice cream smeared faces. When life plays dirty, WaterWipes can help because they’re made with minimal ingredients, they’re gentle enough for all skin types, but tough enough to tackle any mess you come across. WaterWipes are perfect for summer camp, road trips, days at the beach, and they’ve just introduced new WaterWipes Hydrating Clean Wipes with the same ingredients as the original, but they’ve added a drop of organic aloe vera proven to boost skin hydration. In fact, WaterWipes are the only certified microbiome-safe baby wipe by MyMicrobiome, meaning they help maintain skin health. Parents can keep these in the car, purse, or diaper bags.
