In My Shower - Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash

Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash with NutriumMoisture - 710ml - $7.47 - a super-mild wash that contains almost 25% more Glycinate, an ultra-mild cleanser primarily found in premium face products, offers amazing lather and has 10x more moisturizers than other leading body washes.

I tend to mistrust any product that promises me softer, smoother skin after just one use but in this case it's actually true! I felt my skin before showering with it the first time, used it and then felt my skin again after the shower but before applying any moisturizer and my skin not only felt great, it also didn't feel dry or tight. If it only had some sort of fruity scent to it, it would be perfect!

Available now at drug, mass and grocery stores across Canada.

In My Shower - Pantene Pro-V Repair and Protect

Protein loss makes hair vulnerable to damage but this collection - Pantene Pro-V Repair & Protect contains a formula with antioxidants to reduce protein loss so hair stays strong - and when you use the shampoo and conditioner together, erases 6 months of damage in 1 use! I think it's important to also note that not only will your hair look better, it will also smell fresh and fruity!

Repair & Protect Miracle Repairing Shampoo - 375ml - $5.99 - locks in moisture to help repair damaged hair with a unique dual-polymer complex - restoring smoothness, shine and manageability for hair that is healthy and protected from future damage. Gentle enough for color-treated, permed or relaxed hair.

Repair & Protect Miracle Protecting Conditioner - 375ml - $5.99 - resurfaces from root to tip to target and repair damaged strands and then rinse away clean for hair that is restored today and protected tomorrow. Gentle enough for color-treated, permed or relaxed hair.

Overnight Miracle Repair Serum - 145ml - $8.99 - has a weightless, non-sticky formula that helps resurface hair at it's weakest points to restore hair while you sleep for a healthy looking start each morning. Hair is smooth, shiny, and soft, and there is nothing left behind on your pillow.

I am totally obsessed with this serum, after washing the next day, my hair looks so shiny and feels so soft! My caution to other fine haired girls though, if you put it in you have to wash it out the next day or your hair will look limp and greasy. Those with thicker hair can probably get away with leaving it in but I can't so if the alarm fails to go off and you don't have time for a shower, prepare to use a lot of dry shampoo!

Available at mass, grocery and drug stores across Canada.

Inspired by nature's reed which bends but doesn't break, the line looks to strengthen the hair with two technologies: Lotus Infusion - an incredible source of flexibility, moisturizing and softening; and Ceramide - which acts as an inner cement and helps link keratine cells together and fill micro-breaches to perfect the hair shaft.

Extreme Restoration Conditioner - 250ml - $56 - repairs, restores and detangles in an instant.

Healthy and beautiful hair can be yours naturally thanks to Tints of Nature.

This pH balanced shampoo is suitable for all hair types, including colour treated and offers a kind, gentle and non-irritating wash that will give the hair fabulous body and shine. The wheat protein and plant amino acids maintain the essential moisture balance of the hair which helps to keep it supple and healthy. The substantial Vitamin B5 content adds volume to fine or limp hair.

Tints of Nature Conditioner  - 200ml - $15.99 - contains certified organic ingredients including Irish seaweed extract and plant derived softening agents to give hair super shine and restoration and keep your hair beautifully conditioned and in perfect pH balance.

Once thing I ded learn about sulfate-free shampoos, lather, rinse repeat is essential - because of the absence of sufates, the first lather is really small, but a second wash will produce a rich creamy lather that leaves hair clean and moisturized.
