YOU GIRLS IN NEW ENGLAND AND THE MIDATLANTIC BATTLE SERIOUS HUMIDITY IN THE SUMMER. SO WE ROUNDED UP SOME NEW PRODUCTS (AND A FEW TRICKS!) TO GET YOU THROUGH THE SEASON LOOKING COOL EVEN WHEN YOU'RE HOT!
Makeup fades quickly in hot, humid weather. So New York City makeup artist Maria Forte suggests using a silicone-free primer (try Lorac AquaPrime Oil-Free Makeup Primer, $30, sephora.com). It gives makeup something to adhere to, and since it doesn't have silicone (a slippery ingredient) it stays put in humid weather.
Sharon Dorram Krause, head colorist at John Frieda Salon in New York City, says lots of her clients complain that their hair feels dry and brittle in the summer. Her fix? Once a week, break open a vitamin E capsule (vitamin E helps your hair repair itself), add it to a moisturizing conditioner, then use the conditioner as you normally would (try John Frieda Moisturizing Conditioner, available in five shades, left, $7, at drugstores).
