These sandwash short sleeve T-shirts are perfect for staying fresh on a hot summer day. It’s made with 48% recycled polyester, so it can help you stay cool by drawing sweat away from the body. It also comes with UPF 30+ sun protection for added coverage on long days outdoors.

Sunscreen is another must-have for burning hot summer days. These Member's Mark premium moisturizing sunscreen sprays come in a pack of three and cost just under $15. They’re lightweight, won’t clog your pores and offer strong protection against harmful UV. Plus, they’re enriched with Vitamin E to moisturize your skin. Just make sure to reapply every two hours, as well as immediately after swimming or after sweating, since both will break down any sunscreen applied beforehand.

If you’re hosting a pool party or a backyard barbecue, these Member's Mark summer paper plates will make your life a lot easier. They’re made from cut-resistant BPI commercially compostable paperboard, which means they’re both durable and eco-friendly.
