For smoother, shinier hair

Once the weather warms up, we love a quick dip in the pool, but chlorine can alter hair's pH, causing breakage and frizz. What helps: A onceweekly, pre-shampoo treatment that contains citric acid. It lowers hair's pH to reduce hair fiber friction, making strands less frizzy, explains Francesca Fusco, M.D., a New York City dermatologist who specializes in hair care. While Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector is known as a go-to fix, online buzz found citric acidinfused L'Oréal Paris EverPure Bond Strengthening Concentrate does the job for a third of the cost!

To keep makeup from melting

Rising temperatures put oil glands into overdrive, leaving an unflattering sheen that causes makeup to "melt." To avoid it, New York City-based makeup artist Judi Gabbay says t prep skin with a mattifying primer before applying makeup. "It creates a barrier between skin and makeup to ensure a long-lasting result." A favorite? Tarte Clean Slate Blur Balm, a putty-like skin primer that contains absorbent kaolin clay to sop up sweat and oil. But beauty aficionados on social media apps like TikTok are singing the praises of e.l.f. Cosmetics Matte Putty Primer since it works just as well to help makeup stay put and keep skin shine-free-for $25 less!
