You don’t always have time to wash your hair on vacation. Thankfully, this dry shampoo is the ultimate travel companion, thanks to its aerosol-free design. It’s a Shop TODAY reader favorite, and according to the brand, it absorbs excess oils without leaving a white cast.
“If you’re like me and don’t use heavy coverage on a daily basis, the sheer tint in CeraVe’s sunscreen offers just enough coverage to blur out major imperfections and give my skin a nice glowy finish,” one freelance writer shared about this popular formula. “When using on my skin tone, I don’t see any of the white cast that sometimes occurs with mineral sunscreens. The texture is also very lightweight, so I can wear this product under makeup without it pilling. It’s also non-greasy, so I don’t feel like it clogs my pores every time I wear it.”
“As someone who is prone to bumpy, ‘strawberry’ skin after using body wash or shaving, especially around my bikini area, I love this,” shared one former editor. “It’s especially good for little spots that tend to develop in the underboob area after working out and wearing a tight sports bra. I love the fact that it’s fragrance-free, because I’ve heard horror stories of people using scented products in sensitive areas and it ending in disaster. This exfoliator leaves me with bump-free skin for about two days, before I start to notice spots again.”
One writer who tried this foundation from Laura Geller said she loved how natural her skin looked once the formula was applied. “Instead of sitting on top of my face or settling into fine lines, the powder blended with my skin, evening out my skin tone without masking it,” she wrote. “While I appreciate the buildable coverage, a light layer was enough to even things out. My skin didn’t look matte or flat, just softly polished ... like my skin on a really good day.”
After suffering from stress-induced hair loss, senior editor Julie Ricevuto turned to this product as part of her regrowth routine. “The liquid-serum texture was easy to apply and, when massaged into damp hair, didn’t leave a residue,” she shares of the hair growth formula.

Multiple Shop TODAY editors swear by Sojo’s affordable sunglasses, and this pair is super on-trend for summer. Even better, the brand says that they block 99.99% of both UVA and UVB radiation.
These high-waisted leggings have thousands of five-star ratings from shoppers who call them the “best leggings” and say they “fit like a dream.” According to the brand, they’re moisture-wicking, ultra-stretchy and super soft, so they’re great for everyday wear as well as workouts. Ricevuto is a fan of the brand, wearing their leggings for nearly any activity.
Writer Danielle Murphy is a huge fan of Furtalk’s travel-friendly foldable sun hats. And we love the cute and classic design of this one. There’s an inner adjustable strap, too, to help you get the perfect fit.
“It’s basically a security system in a purse with a ton of anti-theft features,” Shop TODAY contributor Chassie Post shared. “It has locking zippers, slash-resistant fabric and straps and RFID-blocking pockets, keeping you protected from pickpockets and digital theft. It’s also super organized. You’ve got pockets for everything: four exterior, two expandable water bottle holders (you could even use one to hold a mini umbrella), and three interior for your phone, passport and more.”
The medium version of this bag is a Shop TODAY Travel Award winner, but we’re equally impressed with this smaller version. Even with its petite design, it can fit a surprising amount of gear, including a water bottle. Plus, it’s machine washable, so it’s easy to clean.

Tired of opening your cabinets only to see a mess of lids? This is the perfect solution. Executive editor Adrianna Brach says that it’s “super easy to set up.” She shares, “Just pull it out of the box, add the dividers where you want them and load your lids — no tools required.”
As someone who eats a lot of salads, I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit chopping vegetables for lunches and dinner. And that’s precious time that could be used for, well, anything else. But that’s changed since I got this handy vegetable chopper. It seriously makes preparing big salad or any other vegetable-heavy dish so much easier. I love that it has a large base to collect the vegetables, and that it even has blades for spiralizing or creating ribbons.
This single-serve coffee maker has accompanied me through multiple moves to various small New York City apartments through the years, and it fits perfectly in every kitchen I’ve placed it in. It’s great for single-person homes or for those who have individual brew preferences. The best part? It’s less than $70!
Hatch Restore 3
“As someone who tends to sleep through just about anything, I never thought I needed a white noise machine. That is, until I met the Hatch Restore,” one former editor said about this sleep gadget. “This is so much more than a white noise maker, it’s also an alarm clock and bedside light that I can completely customize to fit my sleep habits. I swear by it, and dare I say, sleep worse without it.”
Brach says that this 2-in-1 fan is a must if you have pets or kids, as it doesn’t have any blades. She adds, “I always run cold so I can place it on my side of the room when we’re sleeping to stay warm, or my husband can blast the fan on his side.”

Our team is made up of a lot of readers, and many of them swear by Amazon’s Kindle device. “It’s so lightweight and does exactly what I need it to — makes it easy to read on the go,” says editor Kamari Stewart-Jackson, who owns another version of the device. “I love to bring it with me on vacation because it doesn’t take up much room and I can read more than one book! Perfect for reading on the beach.”
“My absolute favorite setting that these AirPods offer is conversation awareness, which lowers the volume of the media that you’re listening to when it detects that you’re speaking with someone,” says social media producer Dani Musacchio about these AirPods. “Gone are the days of having to awkwardly shuffle to remove your AirPods from your ears to hear the person you’re talking to.”

Best Amazon cleaning products
Yes, you really should be cleaning your garbage disposal! And these packets make it easy. “The ease of dropping a single packet into my garbage disposal is unmatched — especially because I’m comparing it to measuring out baking soda and vinegar, and running ice through my disposal,” one writer shared. “The first time I used this, I was hesitant to drop a full paper packet into my disposal. But the packet materials are biodegradable and all of its contents are disposer, drain, and septic safe, so my hesitations were unfounded!”
I’m ashamed by how long it took me to start cleaning my AirPods. But the good news is, once I discovered this tool, it became a breeze. This tool has two tips, a pointed side that allows you to scrape off gunk and a softer one that can be used to wipe off surfaces.
“The most game-changing detail this sponge offers has to be fading technology,” says Murphy. “The monogram stamped onto the firmer side is designed to fade when it’s ready for a replacement. For me, this acts as a visual reminder to check under my sink to make sure I have another sponge stored and ready to swap in.”
So many members of our team are fans of Dawn’s Powerwash Spray, myself included. As someone who exclusively handwashes my dishes, I find that this spray makes the job way easier, as compared to other soaps that I’ve tried. It helps loosen food and grease, so you don’t have to work as hard.
“This bathroom cleaner is effective at removing heavy stains,” writer Jannely Espinal shared about this formula, which you can simply spray and leave to do the cleaning before you rinse later. “While it’s not foamy or has bubbles, the formula has no scent and is ideal for those with smell sensitivity. Literally, you can forget about it and go about your day. It’s formulated without bleach, ammonia or harsh irritants, which makes it easier to clean your bathroom without covering your nose.”
