This is a "real-deal" color safe product and a great conditioner.
This is one of those good products you want to use on color treated hair to make it last and shine. It works just as well on dry hair. If you do have naturally drier hair (*waves*) you may want to still use a little leave in afterwards, but it's still a very good product.
The only real negative is that as a salon product it has a salon price tag. Still worth the buy to keep colored hair looking great longer!

I have used Biosilk Silk Therapy for years. It's lightweight, scent-less, color-less and a VERY little goes a very long way.
This big bottle is a couple of years old and it's going to last me a few more. I don't think it expires, it has not changed much since purchase. Small bottles are found in salons and drugstores. This was Walmart of course!
This is a treatment type of leave-in. It smooths the hair, replenishes it and gives it shine. You only need a very small amount rubbed in your hands then smoothed and then combed through your hair. It doesn't need to be used often either.

It will certainly make your hair shiny. And crunchy. It's kind of like a non-aerosol "good" or "better" version of hairspray.
It does work. I keep some of this on hand for occasions when I need my hair to be super shiny no matter what. Which is why the bottle may be old-ish.
But most of us now want out hair to move naturally. So unless you intend to just give the lightest spritz and hope to still get a result, you won't get both bouncy and shiny hair out of this product.

Hawaiin Tropic Sheer Touch Ultra Radiance SPF 30 Sunscreen

This is my favorite body sunscreen. I have different ones for my face, but this is the one I adore for the rest of me!
It's smooth and rich, not chalky, and absorbs well and quickly. I do not look like I was painted in white glue for 30 minutes. It smells like a tropical drink, which is a bonus, but even better that the scent is not overwhelming or long lasting.
Most importantly, if you follow the directions, it works well. With no sunblock I go from pasty to lobster with a migraine with nothing in-between if I venture outside in the summer for over 10 minutes even on a cloudy day. I love that there is a great product like this that's also very affordable and accessible.

I cannot live without L'oréal Paris Total Repair 5 Replenishing Spray . This is my must-have leave-in.
It does wonders for my hair, detangles, nourishes, hydrates, smooths, preps it for other products, tames frizz, and probably more. If I've done a treatment, I stop after I use this spray. My hair being what it is, it always needs at least this product, for others, just a bit of this lightweight leave in may be enough. It has a very light scent, but that fades very quickly.
It goes on sale often, and I stockpile it. If L'Oreal ever stopped making this, I might very honestly have a panic attack. NOTHING has worked so well as a first step leave in ever, and that's even counting the expensive salon brands.

This is the second leave in that I use after I clean my hair, layered after the leave-in spray of this same line. It's a good leave in and it does add to the smoothing and nourishment of my hair. Given my particular hair, I would not use it on its own, but for other types of hair, such as finer hair, it would probably work fine solo.
It is not thick, so a little goes a long way if rubbed between the hands then smoothed and combed through the hair. Very affordable when it goes on sale, and available pretty much anywhere.

I use Clear eyes Triple Action Relief every morning, and any time my eyes feel irritated. It clears up any redness almost instantly, and soothes my eyes very quickly as well.
I keep a bottle on hand at the office as well, to help combat the dry air and it's an absolute lifesaver.
Eye drops are not just for when you are sick or for old people. The sense of relief and ease when your eyes are properly taken care of makes a surprising difference.

I have a small/sample sized version of Gold Bond Ultimate Moisturizing Skin Therapy Cream with Aloe. I use it after things such as bug bites, stinging nettle, or odd reactions or minor itches and it works great.
It absorbs well and doesn't feel greasy, leaves my skin moisturized, helps soothe whatever happened and does not smell medicated. In fact, there's pretty much no scent to it.
I'm going to be looking for a full-sized version when the little guy runs out.

If you have dry mouth, start your recovery journey with Biotène Dry Mouth Oral Rinse.
My mouth has the unfortunate tendency to fall open while I sleep. This dries it out and makes it feel like the Sahara in the morning with my tongue glued to the top or bottom. And if that happens, your breath is not pretty. A constantly dry mouth is also a danger for the health of your teeth and gums.
One of the first preventative steps is a good oral rinse the night before, after brushing your teeth. Biotène mouthwash is one of the best. It keeps your mouth "lubricated", and is alcohol and sugar free. It's the first step in my healthy-at-night mouth routine.
A small bottle can be pricey. The value sizes go on sale, and that's when they are a good deal. You just need a small amount to gargle with each time, a bottle lasts a long time.

Biotène ® Oral Balance Gel

If you have dry mouth a hard candy won't cut it, you need a product like Biotène Gel.
My mouth has the unfortunate tendency to fall open while I sleep. This dries it out and makes it feel like the Sahara in the morning with my tongue glued to the top or bottom. And if that happens, your breath is not pretty. A constantly dry mouth is also a danger for the health of your teeth and gums. I can also get dry mouth during the day as a holdover.
A gel like this is a good product to help. It keeps your mouth "lubricated", and is alcohol and sugar free. I use it after the Biotène mouthwash at night, and on its own during the day.
You just need a tiny amount to swish around your mouth each time, so while not the cheapest, a tube lasts a long time.
