Let’s face it summer is gross. You’re sweaty and sticky and so is everyone else! Outdoor events like Made in America and Curlfest require standing outside for hours in the heat and humidity and they aren’t the only place where things can get a little grimy. In between the fun of rooftop parties and outdoor brunches you have to deal with the funk leather seats, public transportation, and that weird smoke that people think you can’t smell from their e-cigarettes leaves behind. Here are 13 summer essentials to stay fresh.
1. Mario Badescu Facial Spray With Aloe, Chamomile and Lavender $7.00
This vitamin-c enriched cult favorite is designed to calm and refresh your face but in a pinch it can perk up knees, elbows and toes. It’s available in two other scents but the lavender is my personal favorite.
