SPF For Your Hair
UV rays scorch your hair the same way they fry your skin -- it just takes longer to see the effects. Phyto Phytoplage Protective Sun Oil, $22, is a lifesaver on the beach. It's packed with hydrating oils that protect your hair as well as your scalp from the sun, saltwater, chlorine, and whatever else you're subjecting it to. Just remember: Wear a hat or apply sunscreen to your scalp where your part to protect that slice of exposed skin.

Damage-Mending Mask
The Ouidad Melt-Down Extreme Repair Mask, $40, nourishes with Kalahari melon seed oil and makes your hair feel softer after just one use. Plus, it creates a warm, tingly sensation while it works. For added sun and chlorine protection, work it through your hair before you head to the pool or beach.

Sunburned Scalp Soother
Sun, saltwater and chlorine can turn your scalp into the Sahara. Carol's Daughter Lisa's Hair Elixir Fortifying Scalp Spray, $22, has a blend of essential oils (like basil, mint, and eucalyptus) that calm inflammation, moisturize, and help your hair grow stronger.

The summer beauty mantra will always be: sunscreen, sunscreen, and more sunscreen. But there's so much more to it. Your skin isn't the only thing exposed to brutal hot weather elements. Walking from your car to the office can leave your face looking like a Salvador Dali painting, nevermind the full-scale attack on your hair from the scorching sun, chlorinated pool water, or relentless humidity. It's enough to make a girl stay barefaced and in a permanent ponytail all summer long.

To the rescue: our picks for the very best new summer beauty buys. These hot-weather products are a must for keeping your hair, face and skin in peak condition.
