Weather Forecast: Beauty Tips to Weatherproof Your Hair and Makeup

They say April showers bring May flowers...but they also bring frizzy hair and runny eyeliner. An unexpected afternoon shower can foil a blowout, and dry desert air can crack dry skin. Prepare for the elements with the help of Weather.com's new Beauty forecast. Sponsored by John Frieda and Jergens, your beauty forecast lets you know not only the day's highs and lows, but your chance of frizz and likelihood of dry skin.

So now that you know your forecast, what can you do to combat the elements?

RAINY DAYS

When it comes to your hair, don't fight Mother Nature--embrace the inevitable flyaways and frizz with a loose look. Try pinning your hair in a messy bun at the nape of your neck. And smooth stray strand with a styling product such as Aveda Brilliant Anti-Humectant Pomade to keep frizzies at bay. For your face, embrace the humidity with very little makeup. Use a smudge proof mascara like CoverGirl LashBlast Waterproof Mascara to prevent raccoon eyes.

UNSEASONABLE WARMTH

When you get an early preview of summer, sometimes you can be unprepared. Fight flat, limp hair with hair powder--for example, Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder--sprinkled on the scalp. It creates volume and texture. Slather your skin with SPF 30 and then de-shine with a sheer dusting of powder like Palladio Natural Rice Powder. It can layer as the day goes on without looking cakey, and your skin still feels like it can breathe, even if the heat means you barely can.

COLD, DRY SNAP

With a sudden snap of cold messing with your spring mojo, you can be caught off guard. Keep your locks luscious with a dab of some product like Davines Defining Invisible Styling Cream on the ends. Try some moisturizing lip balm such as Nivea Lip Care to stop lips from cracking. Use a cream blush like Boots No7 Blush Tint Cream on the apples of your cheeks to brighten up dull skin and make sure to slather a heavy, shea butter based lotion such as Beyond Belief Ultra Hydrating Lotion on your arms and legs.
