1. A waterproof rain jacket that's lightweight enough to carry it with you as an extra layer for when those spring showers sneak up on you. This will help you stay dry and protect you from the chilly winds! Plus, it's got a hood that you can use to tuck your hair away.
Promising review: "I got this a little bigger to go over my sweatshirt and it was perfect. It is super lightweight and kept me dry. It also helped lock in some extra warmth so that was a bonus. It's the perfect little rain jacket for the price." —Amie Linsday

Or check out this rain jacket that comes in plus sizes!
2. Or a waterproof Columbia rain jacket with a detachable hood, adjustable cuffs, and two zippered pockets. This one will also keep you completely dry during a downpour and can be packed down into its own pocket for easy toting.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this jacket! The teal color I personally bought is beautiful and goes with much more than I thought. Love how the neck comes up a bit higher for extra coverage in the rain. And the hood can be rolled up and stowed away so it can be used more as windbreaker also. Provides excellent coverage in the rain. Cannot go wrong with the quality of Columbia!" —Momof3wifeof1:)
Get it from Amazon for $39.98 (available in sizes XS—3X and in 52 colors).
3. Some absurdly cheap yet cute waterproof Chelsea boots because I think we both know you're way past letting a bit of rain ruin your outfit. These will let you splash around in slushy puddles all you want without any worry of getting a dreadful wet sock.
Promising review: "I live in the desert and noticed our upcoming trip to London had rain in the forecast nearly every day. I didn’t want to walk around in wet tennis shoes, and we were planning a trip with heavy walking. I have problems with plantar fasciitis, so I was skeptical, I usually buy expensive, supportive shoes. But I took a chance. These boots did not disappoint. I ended up wearing them every day in London. They were very comfortable, my feet stayed dry, they were super cute and the best part, ZERO foot pain. We walked a lot, 7–8 miles a day. I will put these in my closet for other rainy-day trips!" —volvomom
Get them from Amazon for $23.79+ (available in sizes 4–13 and 15 colors).
4. Or some rain boots with a unique quilted mid-calf design that sets them apart from your regular rain boots. Reviewers rave about how roomy and lightweight they are!
Promising review: "I love these boots! They are comfortable to wear and look great. My feet are wide and I tend to have trouble with boots because they rub on my toes, but these have plenty of room. I'm very pleased with the fit and totally impressed with the customer service from this company! I'm very happy with this purchase!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 5–9 and eight colors).
5. And a pair of waterproof sneakers for all the sneakerheads that would rather not wear rain boots, but would also rather not ruin their very un-waterproof kicks.
Promising review: "I bought these shoes for a trip to Alaska where I knew that it would be rainy and wet. They were perfect. My feet stayed dry and when they got dirty I was just able to wipe them clean ... I've even worn them to football games where sometimes people spill beverages and my shoes were able to stay dry and again I just had to wipe them clean. Plus they look cute." —Yvonne R.
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and 11 colors and styles).
6. Paul Mitchell's humidity resistant serum if this season's rain is sure to give your locks some unwanted frizz. This helps condition and seal your hair cuticle for shiny, silky hair — rain or shine! It also smells *delightful*, and reviewers love that a little goes a long way.
Promising review: "I have been using the Paul Mitchell Skinny product for years. I have curly hair and this really helps calm it The best is how my hair shines and has a soft feel when it is dry. I get so many compliments! I bought some of this serum for my mother who has short straight hair, and she loves it too. A few drops is all it takes. I recommend this product for great looking hair." —C Green
Get it from Amazon for $28.50+ (available in two sizes).
7. A reviewer-beloved Essence Lash Princess waterproof mascara, which works its magic like no other waterproof mascara does. This gives you glorious, clump-free length *and* volume that'll stay put through rain, sweat, or tears!
Promising review: "I have been on the hunt for the best waterproof mascara for decades now. My fave go to is the Maybelline Full and Soft, but I like to try new ones. This mascara was very impressive. It coats well, doesn't clump, and provides length and volume. My eyes water often and I haven't had an issue with this one. And you can't beat the price!! It coats well with just one application. Absolutely worth trying. It's also worth noting that this does not weigh my lashes down as I've seen with other brands. My lashes stay in place all day without flaking or falling. Stayed put after 12 hours of wear AND getting caught in a rain storm." —swb
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
8. A mattifying waterproof On Til' Dawn One/Size setting spray, which I'm pretty sure has some sort of miraculous witchcraft in it. Beyoncé used it at her Renaissance concert in the pouring rain at her DC show — and mother's face stayed looking fresh and FLAWLESS through the downpour. Honestly, just take my money.
One/Size is a queer, Filipino-owned business founded by makeup guru Patrick Starr to ensure that makeup is really one size fits all, as it should be.
Promising review: "I seriously thought I would never find a way to keep my makeup from melting off on hot summer days that are above 100 degrees F but this is magical. No dripping or spotty patchiness after, and application is even because it's a fine mist. Don't forget to shake well before application. My makeup stays in place and I have an oily T-zone and very oily lids. I totally recommended this product to all my friends and family. Also, try it with their blurring primer. This is now my most loved setting spray for ☀️. Thank you for creating this awesome product." —beautybee7
Get it from Sephora for $17+ (available in two sizes).
9. A volcanic stone face roller because it works like magic to eliminate excess oil and mattify your skin as you roll it around your face. Since spring is about to bring on allll the humidity, you'll appreciate this wonderful little tool!
As one of the more oily-skinned girlies, I also bring this with me everywhere for on-the-go touch ups. It's reusable, washable, and won't remove that gorgeous face of makeup. See it in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I really like this product, it helps for when I'm in a pinch and need to get rid of the oil on my face but cant wash my face because of makeup or something. It also keeps my makeup decently intact, I just have to touch it up only a little bit after I roll this over it." —Hannah
Get it from Amazon for $9.83 (also available as a rose quartz roller).
10. A pair of waterproof Columbia hiking boots — if you're a hiker, you'll wonder how you ever lived without these babies. Not only do they come in many cute colors, but they'll keep your feet totally dry and have a reinforced toe and heel construction that makes them supportive, stable, and super long-lasting.
Promising review: "I needed a waterproof boot that would also be good for lots of walking. I did a lot of walking in Ireland and Scotland, mostly in rainy weather, and these boots were true to their description. My feet were dry and comfortable." —Louise M.
Get them from Amazon for $54.59+ (available in sizes 5–12, two widths, and 21 colors).
11. A tennis shoe cleaner, which puts even your most unsightly, mud-stained pairs of shoes to the test. It even comes with a brush for scrubbing the dirt away. So go ahead and grab those shoes you never thought you'd be able to wear in public again — this'll make them look brand spankin' new.
This will work on leathers, vinyl, nubuck, suede, canvas, and cloth.
Promising review: "I have had my Nike Roshe runs for about a year now, and I don't go easy on them. I play sports and run in the dirt with them all the time, but I also like to wear them for fashion purposes. Pink Miracle helped restore my daily shoes to look like I just bought them — now I can wear them for even longer. Very pleased with Pink Miracle, I will buy it again when I run out of my bottle." —Romario
Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in two sizes).
12. A heat and humidity gel infused with ceramides that define your curls with a strong, long-lasting hold that helps prevent frizz and flyaways. And it helps prevent damage caused by heat styling! Sign me up.
Promising review: "I have 2c and 3a, even 3b in parts fine hair prone to frizz. I live in south Florida and the humidity has always been my nemesis. I've tried creams, gels, leave ins, everything. No matter what I tried, I never got good results. Even though I slept with a silk scrunchie, I would wake up to frizzy, no definition and no bounce curls. This product is amazing. My day three hair looks even better than day one. All I do is add a spritz of water and a tiny bit of gel and it looks amazing, the curls are defined and actually spring back into shape. My hair hasn’t sprung in I don’t know how long. I’m seriously about to buy their whole line because I finally found something that works for me. Try it!!!!" —Terri
Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in three sizes).
13. Or a curl-enhancing Bread Beauty Supply Elastic Bounce Cream to give dry, frizzy hair the bounce and hydration it's been craving! You might just fall in love with the defined texture it leaves on your luscious locks.

Promising review: "This curl cream is really it. I have tried different ones before but I feel like this one leaves my hair bouncy and moisturized. I really like the smell, too — its so sweet, makes me want to eat it hehe. I like that a little goes a long way and the packaging is really great size so it would last a long time." —Sephora Customer
Get it from Sephora for $16.
14. A waterproof car seat cover that can be converted to both hammock style and car bench style with its anti-skid zipper. You'll finally be able to protect your freshly-cleaned seats from your furry friend, who just got done living his best life splashing through big puddles and rolling in the mud.
It also has nonslip backing, adjustable headrest anchors, seat anchors, trunk cargo liner, and two seatbelts openings to keep your pup in place.
Promising review: "This thing is a lifesaver! I hike a lot with my dogs and they love swimming and tromping through all terrains. They are also quick to roll in anything they can find —dead or digested— and this cover has SAVED MY CAR. It is waterproof and easy to clean. It is even easier to install. I loved it so much I bought a second and a third for my sister’s and mom’s cars. I have had other backseat covers before, but they were thin and came in cheesy prints. This one is black, which matches my car’s interior, and is nicely quilted. I would rate this 100 stars if I could." —Katie G.
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).
15. And a portable paw cleaner to protect your precious floors (who have probably already been through enough) from your pup, who was just getting their zoomies out in the wet grass outside. 🙃
Promising review: "This product is great. My puppy is a digger and we have red clay type dirt. It gets her paws clean fast and easily. So much better than having to get a bath every time she digs." —Mandi Bultman
Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in three sizes, eight colors, and with or without a lid).
16. A light-as-air Maybelline Super Stay Liquid Foundation, which is water- and sweat-resistant and *perfect* for wearing when glam days and spring showers choose to overlap with one another. This blends out seamlessly and will stay put all day, all night.
Promising review: "A little goes a long way, covering blemishes and evening out my skin tone. Covers up circles under eyes and leaves a smooth, natural-looking finish all over the face. It does not feel heavy or caked on at all and doesn't seem to cause my skin to break out. I can wear this all day without having to touch up, even got caught in the rain a few days ago and I still had good coverage. Definitely worth the price. The bottle lasts a few months of use almost daily. Was shipped and delivered to me quickly and the condition of the product was as if I had just picked it off the store shelf myself." —kat
Get it from Amazon for $11.66 (available in 23 shades).
17. An anti-humidity shield spray that acts as a protective shield to keep the rainy weather's humidity from frizzing up your hair. Plus, it smells like vanilla and citrus. 😍
Promising review: "Hey you. Yes, you. I see you there, eyeing this product on Amazon, but you’re hesitant to take a chance on it. That’s probably because, like me, you’ve been hurt before by products that promised to keep your hair sleek and frizz-free, only to look like a puffy poodle by the time you walk into the office. No leave-in treatment, cream, or humidity-fighting spray has worked for you yet, so why should you believe this one will? Truth be told, I have no idea how this spray works its magic - I just know it does. Spray it on damp hair and blow it dry, or spray it on dry hair and flat iron it, and - voila! - you’re good to go. The first weekend after I got this, I went to a two-day outdoor music festival in July. My hair stayed frizz-free and looked as good at the end of the day as it did at the start. I’ve used it daily since then and it has never disappointed. I’ve now been using this stuff religiously for months. This stuff still works like a dream. I’m a customer for life!" —Susan Caldwell
Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in two sizes).
18. Or a Living Proof de-frizzing dry conditioning spray to tame up to 92% of the frizz that's keeping you from having those hair flip-worthy locks. This'll replenish your hair's natural oils and have it looking soft, smooth, and shiny all day long (which also makes it great for in-between wash days)!
It works on both straight and curly hair textures!
Promising review: "This lightweight spray de-frizzed my hair amazingly well. I have tried numerous products and have tried every concoction possible and nothing smoothed my hair like this did. My hair feels soft and looks shiny. Worth every penny." —Darla
Get it from Amazon for $33.
19. And a satin-lined Hairbrella — it's just what you need to protect your Barbie-perfect hair from being ruined by rainy or muggy days while you're out and about. It folds up and fits right in your bag, so that you're ready for whatever the weather throws your way.
Check it out on TikTok here.
Hairbrella is a Black-owned business known for their stylish hats that also help protect hair from various weather conditions, including humidity, rain, and snow.
Promising review: "I traveled to London last month with a raincoat that did not have a hood, and I wanted something that would protect my head/hair/blowout without lugging an umbrella. This definitely did the trick. Two of the three days were rainy (some quite heavy) and my hair stayed totally dry. It stows nicely, too. I'm still learning how to adjust it while it's on my head (easier to adjust first and then put it on). Also, when I do have it tightened/pulled to the right place, the loop/slack from where I adjusted it sort of sticks out and gets in my peripheral vision. I wish the adjustment/clasp was on less prominent. But, all in all, this is perfect for anyone who wants to keep their blowout fresh in the rain." —Miss Information
Get it from Amazon for $44 (available in nine colors).
20. As well as an instant stain remover spray, because those spring showers can wreak havoc on our outdoor furniture. Just spray some of this on and admire as it starts to remove all of the black mold and mildew instantly.
Promising review: "I have a small three-tier water fountain in my patio, naturally the birds in the community have come to rely upon it for drinking and bathing. I literally sprayed this product and walked away, I actually left it on overnight, I got busy with other tasks. When I checked back all of the mold was gone, everything, with no damage to the painted stucco wall or cement and no scrubbing. Literally spray and leave." —Mark
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five sizes).
21. Or an electric pressure washer to make your patio furniture and fence look brand-new after a heavy downpour. You can also use it on your porch and lawn equipment! One reviewer said they even got great results without using a cleaning solution, and that it's quite satisfying to use!
It's great for washing down cars, houses, boats, patios, and outdoor furniture, and it comes with two detergent tanks, a garden hose adapter, and a clean-out tool. It even comes with five spray tips to help you attack light- to heavy-duty cleaning tasks.
Promising review: "I love this washer. It competes with my 2,200-psi gas-powered pressure washer, which in fact I sold to keep this. But doesn't have the noisy gas engine or the heavy weight. Easy to move around lightweight and has great power. Very quiet. I love all the attachments and the different stream types. The soap dispenser works well. I'm cleaning everything, my deck, my house, the garage doors, the concrete slab. It takes off all the dirt and mold from the old concrete stairs and sidewalk." —Debbie
Get it from Amazon for $129.
22. A humidity-resistant edge control gel infused with argan and castor oil that helps support healthy edges for a sleek look *without* the white flakiness and residue.
BUT we want to add that no one should feel pressure to lay their edges, unless they want to! Check out "Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna."
Promising review: "Hands-down! The best edge control I have ever used and I have used a lot of them. Stayed all day! No flakes and nongreasy! And this one is not even the strongest in the line. Love this product!" —Mrs.Washington
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in seven sizes and four scents).
23. E.l.f.'s No Budge Retractable Liner so that you can rock a cute liner look without ending up looking like The Grudge when the rain starts pouring down.
Promising review: "I am impressed with this eye pencil, both the performance and the value! I have been using Palladio Waterproof eye pencil but noticed that it "traveling" outside of where belonged as my day progressed, resulting in the dreaded "raccoon eye"! This one stays put and does not dissolve during the course of my day. I have been using it for about a week in extreme conditions; high temps and humidity on the golf course with a pleasing result and would recommend for anyone looking for a change in eye pencil to try E.L.F." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $4 (available in three colors).
24. An I Dew Care dry shampoo to prep your scalp for the increased humidity that comes with spring showers. This is infused with biotin, black ginseng, and root-boosting powder and comes with a conveniently attached puff so that you can dab, dab, dab away all that excess oil and grease to instantly add some volume back into your hair.
Pro tip: apply just a bit of product, brush it out, and repeat. Putting too much product at once may lead to a sheen of white residue.
Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA, and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair, so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it lasts longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —Teresa
Get it from Amazon for $18 (also available in two and three packs and as sets).
25. The Inkey List Salycylic Acid Cleanser if you just know your blackheads are about to make their grand entrance with all the increased humidity that this season's about to bring. 🙃 Fear not! This cleanser's nondrying, nonstripping formula will help minimize excess oil and visibly reduce blackheads and breakouts.
Promising review: "I've been using this cleanser for a year now, and it's become an essential part of my skincare routine. The results have been consistently impressive, leaving my skin feeling refreshed and revitalized. The gentle formula is perfect for daily use, and I appreciate how it effectively removes impurities without causing any irritation." —Drashtiii
Get it from Sephora for $13.
26. A thick sweatshirt with a satin-lined hood — hey, potential hair frizz shouldn't stop you from wearing a cozy hood on a rainy spring day. (C'mon, hoodies and rain just go together!) This one has high-grade satin that promotes moisture retention in your hair and helps protect it against breakage.
Kin Apparel is a Black woman-owned brand founded by haircare content creator Philomina Kane. Her hoodie line is inspired by her Ghanaian culture and her passion for natural haircare.
Get it from Kin Apparel for $59.99 (originally $79.99; available in unisex sizes XS–3XL).
27. Youthforia's Pregrame Primer, because with more humidity comes more sebum production. 🫠 Thankfully, this is formulated from sebum-reducing botanicals and plant-based ingredients and glides on skin while preventing other products on your face from evaporating. Get ready to achieve that bouncy, radiant complexion!
Youthforia is an Asian woman-owned small biz that aims to make makeup that's so good for your skin you can sleep in it. The founder, Fiona Co Chan, even tested the brand's blush by sleeping in it for two months! They are passionate about being environmentally friendly and not using fossil fuels or gross toxins in their products.
Here's what BuzzFeeder Chelsea Stuart says about it: "I have been using this for a few weeks now and I'm in love. Whether I decide to wear makeup or not, I always slather on a few pumps of this at the end of my skincare routine (following cleanser/primer/moisturizer) to lock in hydration. And when I do wear foundation and the works, it creates the perfect base to build on (no oxidization whatsoever 😊 ). I have oily skin so primers are very hit or miss for me but this doesn't leave me greasy — after a few seconds it honestly feels like I'm wearing nothing at all."
Get it from Youthforia for $38.
28. A soothing saline nasal gel, which is a non-greasy aloe gel that can help moisturize your dry, stuffy nose caused by spring's "rain, then sun, then rain again" weather.
Promising review: "I don't like to talk about it, but every year my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert. No winter bloody noses! It is very light, is not slimy or like Vaseline, and it does not have any smell." —Catherine
Get it from Amazon for $3.62 (also available as a two-pack).
29. A stain- and odor-eliminating spray designed to release enzymes that break down odors and lift away dirt and mud stains caused by our furry, puddle-loving friends. We love you, Biscuit, but.. our carpet doesn't.
It's made with a natural bio-enzymatic formula, so it's safe for both kids and pets!
Rocco & Roxie is a family-owned small business that offers pet supplies, from cleaners, to treats, grooming tools, toys, and more.
Promising review: "This product has been exactly what I needed to keep my home smelling fresh and clean. This odor eliminator is a true lifesaver for pet owners like me. With three dogs and two cats running around, accidents happen. But thanks to this amazing spray, I no longer have to stress about lingering odors or unsightly stains on my carpets. The color-safe formula ensures that my carpets look as good as new, while the powerful enzymes eliminate even the toughest odors. I love that it's safe for both my pets and my children, giving me peace of mind. The only thing I would suggest for improvement is a slightly stronger odor elimination. But overall, this is the only stain remover I will ever use. It's made my life so much easier and my home so much fresher. Thank you for creating such an incredible product!" —Brooke Hurley
Get it from Amazon for $19.31 (available in two sizes).

30. An odor neutralizing 2-in-1 pet wash your nose will love because it cleans and conditions your fur baby's coat while balancing out bad odors with a fresh, tropical scent using natural ingredients such as coconut and vitamin E. Now they can have all their rainy day fun — without the wet dog smell!
Psst — this wash is also safe and effective for your feline babies! It's paraben-, dye-, soap-, and cruelty free and suitable for use on dogs and cats 12 weeks or older.
Promising review: "My English bulldog has (had!) trouble skin. And I was using a recommended oatmeal wash for him but he was getting eczema on his hind end/lower back. I did some research and found this one. So glad I did. No more scaly bumps (so far I’ve washed him with this twice now). It smells good and makes his coat soft and the scent is not super strong. Lol anyway, I strongly recommend especially for bulldog skin eczema/ trouble skin. UPDATE: ONE WHOLE YEAR LATER and still no skin troubles! This stuff is all he ever uses for bath time. Lifesaver." —Jenna Chrisman
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 10 scents and styles).
31. A weather-resistant eight-foot wooden path that you'll appreciate when you want to avoid damp or muddy ground. It also doubles as a delightful way of leading you into the more hidden spaces of your garden.
Promising review: "The cats love to sleep on them and they do keep the wetter pathways dry under your feet. They are lasting quite well and although not cheap by any means, they are standing up to cats and people walking on them all day long. They are surviving both rain and sun and wind. We will be purchasing more." —susan osako
Get it from Amazon for $89.99.
