5 Beauty Products to Tackle Houston's Humidity
Although Houston's seasons are limited (and sometimes happen in the same day), we occasionally stumble upon springtime.

Considering the imminent temperature and humidity rise, it's time to switch out your winter beauty items in favor of lighter products. Here are some of our spring beauty favorites to leave you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the Houston heat.
