Finally, Spring is in full swing and the weather has us looking towards sun and fun. Which beauty buys should you add to the mix as things heat up? We asked Beauty and Lifestyle Expert Jenn Falik for her fave picks of the season.

Jenn is all about the SPF protection -- and who isn't these days? The #1 cause of aging skin is the sun. "Even though every season really is SPF season, this is sort of the time of year I think most of us really remember that we need to be wearing SPF every day," says Jenn, "And Olay is on a mission to help women make smarter decisions when it comes to daily sun protection. They've launched the new Total Effects Featherweight Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 with SolaSheer technology." What makes this light-as-air formula special? A combo of broad spectrum SPF and proven moisturizers to protect skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays, plus anti-aging benefits and a skin-nourishing vitamin complex. "So it's going to kind of have you completely covered," explains Jenn, "And it's lightweight so you can put it on under your makeup every day -- get in the habit." And to learn more, check out Olay.com.

Jenn says, "Another Spring into Summer must-have is a great deodorant because nothing ruins a look like perspiration. So Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant and Deodorant is great because it's going to give you 48 hours of odor and wetness protection, and there [are] moisturizing ingredients so it's going to give you softer, smoother skin." And if you're into mixing up your scents of the season to fit your mood, 13 different fragrances to choose from will have your every mood covered. The two new scents this Spring? Original Clean and Powder Soft. Find them at mass-market retailers nationwide and visit Dove.com for more info.

As for your hair... "Spring is sort of that time I feel like you're getting your hair to look really good in the Summer and be low maintenance, so you want to take great care of your hair and you need to reduce breakage as much as possible." Enter Goody with a new line of ouchless brushes that reduce hair breakage by 55%. Jenn explains, "There's a flexible top plate that keeps the bristles aligned so they don't collapse on top of each other and snag your strands. There are exclusive flex glide bristles that gently remove tangles without breakage, and there's a hidden cushion pad in there. So it's sort of going to customize the shape of the brush to your head every time you brush [for] a really great ouchless experience every time you brush your hair."

Jenn loves Goody's ouchless hair accessories, too. "They also have wonderful hair accessories, so ouchless elastics and head wraps in all the big trends of the season: pastels, tribal prints, lace, florals," she says. And those ouchless elastics will last you through 100 ponytails -- that's ten times more ponytail per elastic. "Everything's under $5 at Target stores," adds Jenn, "Enjoy the season!"
