HAIR 

1_BUMBLE AND BUMBLE BB SUNDAY SHAMPOO, $30

Use this deep-cleaning shampoo once a week for total reset. Botanical ingredients help whisk away buildup like sweat and oil, leaving behind a natural shine. It's especially handy if you spend a lot of time in the pool, since chemicals can stick around and make your hair look lifeless.

2_OLAPLEX NO. 4D CLEAN VOLUME DETOX DRY SHAMPOO, $30

This clear, oil-absorbing dry shampoo is a great option for degreasing your scalp between washes without leaving any white residue. Bonus: It can also be used as a weightless styler to pump up your hair's volume all day long.

3_ORIBE INVISIBLE DEFENSE PROTECTION SPRAY, $44

Think of this as sunscreen for your hair. The spray not only infuses dry, frizzy, or color-treated hair with moisture, but it also protects it from UV rays and other damaging environmental factors, like pollution. If you use a blow dryer, apply this before you power it up, but even if you don't, a few spritzes help keep your hair in check.

BODY

1_DR. BARBARA STURM ALOE VERA GEL, $75
