GoodWipes Body Wipes for Gals, $8, basically pack a shower in a wipe. These refreshing disposable cloths remove sweat and dirt while cooling your skin with tea tree oil, peppermint and ginseng. Plus, despite being large enough to be able to cleanse your entire body, the individually wrapped packages make it incredibly convenient to always have them on hand.
As women, sometimes it's easier to pretend that we don't have to contend with weird or gross bodily issues, but the fact is, we're human. And being human means that sometimes our "bathing suit area" can get a little bit, well, swampy, particularly during the summer. (Yep, we went there. Sorry, Mom). Lush Silky Underwear Dusting Powder, $8.95, absorbs unwanted moisture, while leaving behind a pleasant jasmine fragrance -- so you can go on pretending you're a flawless, sweat- and odor-free creature.
Spraying bacteria all over your skin to keep it healthy sounds counterintuitive, yet that's the rough concept behind Mother Dirt AO+ Mist, $49. This spray contains live probiotics that essentially feed on your sweat and help maintain your skin's microbiome. Use it to spritz bacteria hot zones, such as your armpits, nether region and feet.
Dry shampoo is probably our desert-island beauty product. And while there are a lot of amazing products out there, Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo, $22, is specially formulated for superdirty strands (we're talking post-spin-class, fifth-day, unwashed hair). Its patented technology helps it absorb sweat, oil and odor without leaving a powdery residue, so your hair looks and smells like you've really washed it -- not just like you're just masking your greasy roots.

You're probably already a little bit dependent on dry shampoo to keep your locks clean. But even if your hair looks and smells like it's just been washed, it might not feel as soft and silky as if you'd conditioned it in the shower. Enter Drybar Detox Dry Conditioner, $23. The dry spray softens and detangles hair without a single drop of water, thanks to a combo of hydrating argan oil and mango butter, among other good-for-hair ingredients. Oh, and it smells absolutely heavenly.
