What's heating up for summer beauty! Founder of beautyblitz.com Polly Blitzer scoops on the must-have beauty buys for summer.

What are some summer beauty must-haves?Polly: Well of course sun protection is key...and the coolest new invention I'm loving is Strivectin's-SH Age Protect. It does double duty to not only protect your face from the sun with SPF 30. It has the highest grade UVA protection, preventing aging, wrinkle formation and free radical damage. It's filled with antioxidants and vitamins...oil free and so sheer. You can wear it right under your makeup. $49 at MACY'S and strivectin.com.And don't forget your lips ladies. Neosporin's Lip Health Daily Hydration and Overnight Renewal Therapy. Both products are clinically shown to restore visibly healthier lips in just three days! It has SPF 20 to protect against the summer sun and overnight renewal therapy works to repair and nourish your lips during your skins natural renewal process---sleep. They both retail for around $4.99...amazing stuff.For your hair...1 in 3 women have dry unpredictable hair that can be frustrating to manage. Nothing brings out the frizz like summertime heat and humidity. Dove has come out with an amazing New Nourishing Oil Care Collection. When you use the shampoo, conditioner and leave in smoothing cream together, they smooth up to 100% of roughness and frizz without weighing hair down. The collection even uses a blend of natural almond, coconut and mineral oils. It's the only U.S. brand with this unique combination of oils and it's less than $5! It totally transforms hair into soft, shiny luscious locks that you want to run your fingers through all summer long.Now for the beauty ritual that's a summer must--hair removal. Veet just did a survey which found that 74% of women think a groomed bikini line is the number one must have this season, even more important than a toned body. That said, don't spend the summer fussing with your razor everyday. The new Veet ready-to-use wax strips that will give you smoothness for up-to 28 days! With versions for both face & body. They have an "easy grip tab" and an essential oil formula that easily coats and removes hair as short as 2mm...from even your delicate areas! Use on your brows, lip, legs or bikini and if any excess wax is left behind, just wipe skin smooth with a perfect finishing wipe which is included in the package. A salon experience for under $10? DIY waxing just became a breeze.
