As the summer temperatures rise, your hair, makeup, and skin can be tested to its limits. Frizz, sweat and dry skin don't have to be in your future if you listen to bicoastal beauty editor Ning Chao. Here, she shares four drugstore beauty buys that'll keep you looking good all summer long, even in the most sweltering conditions.

1. Anti-Humidity Hairspray

"An absolute essential for surviving summer is a hairspray that will make sure your strands stay perfect no matter how hot or humid it gets," says Chao. Her pick: Sebastian Professional Shaper Hairspray. "The formula is specially designed to allow for movement and brushability, which means you can switch up your hairstyle in between summer events without any sticky residue," she explains. Freebie Alert: Enter the Sebastian Rock Your Shaper sweepstakes to try to win a trip to L.A. complete with a rockstar-worthy makeover and VIP access to the People's Choice Awards.

2. Trustworthy Deodorant

"When you're up against heat and humidity, you want to make sure that you stay dry and feel fresh," says Chao. Her pick: Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant Deodorant. "It's the ultimate multitasker because it gives you 48 hours of odor and wetness protection, while moisturizing skin for softer, smoother underarms," she says. "They also come in a wide range of beautiful fragrances."

3. Meltdown-Proof Makeup

If you're in the market for a lightweight, full coverage, long lasting foundation that won't budge in the heat, try Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation with Comfort Serum. "It's perfect for summer because it's lightweight, but heat-proof, sweat-proof, and humidity-proof for up to 25 hours," says Chao. "Plus the serum instantly hydrates your skin, so it hides fine lines and imperfections, giving you a poreless, seamless looking complexion. It also contains SPF 20, antioxidants, and Vitamin E to make sure your skin stays healthy, too," she adds.

4. Smooth Shaving Essentials

Make sure your legs are always ready for those short shorts by using shaving tools that'll not only make your legs look smooth, but also feel super soft. "Use a moisturizing shave gel like Skintimate Silky Skin Shave Gel. It's enriched with Moroccan oil, Vitamin E, olive butter, and sunflower oil which will help replenish your skin's natural moisture as well provide unbeatable razor protection," she explains. Chao's favorite razor: Schick Quattro for Women Razor. "It was designed for the contours of a woman's body with four ultra thin blades, a conditioning strip and an easy-to-grip handle that really gives you a comfortable, close shave," she explains.
