Beauty Editor Diane Aiello finds must-have skin protection and melt-proof picks for sweltering summer days

Bye Bye Flaws
If you are like me, the summertime heat means stocking up on the most melt-proof makeup formulas I can find. It Cosmetics has come out with two stay-put products that I adore. First, Bye Bye Under Eye is a full-coverage waterproof concealer that keeps my under-eye luggage under wraps. It also boasts antioxidants and vitamins to smooth delicate skin. Top that off with Bye Bye Pores, an übersheer high-definition micro-powder infused with collagen and vitamins A, C, E and K to help give a poreless appearance to the skin while keeping oil at bay. $24 each. www.itcosmetics.com.

Eco Sun Veil
If you are an eco-chic kind of girl, try Josie Maran Daily Sun Protection 40+. Infused with Maran’s signature ingredient, argan oil, this silky lotion will keep you hydrated while improving the tone of your skin and fighting off damaging effects of the sun. $32. Sephora.

Amped-Up Sun Filter
It’s a prime month for sunning so to be sure that I get the most protection possible without breaking out there is Kate Somerville Protect SPF 55 Serum. This little tube will be one of your new best outdoor friends. It’s paraben- and oil-free, perfect for daily use to filter harmful UVA and UVB rays. $45. Sephora or www.katesomerville.com.

Silky Shave
The hotter it gets, the more skin seems to peek out from underneath those clothes; ultimately, this means more hair removal on those gams, bikini area and underarms. King of Shaves, famous for their men’s grooming goods, has recently launched Queen of…, a collection for women. The tea tree-scented Ta-da! Shaving Gel is a must try for anyone who suffers from razor burns, bumps or dryness. $4. Target.
