Caudalie Divine Oil ($49, sephora.com)
Let’s start this off by saying a little of this product goes a really long way, especially in your hair. Caudalie’s Divine Oil is made with hydrating argan oil and of course, the brand’s iconic antioxidant-rich grapeseed oil. It’s a dry oil, so you can rub it over your arms and legs as you would any body lotion, but allow for some time to absorb. When it comes to your hair, apply a tiny bit from mid-way down the half shaft to your tips. Be careful not to apply directly to your scalp—it’ll make your hair look super greasy. We perfer to use this on damp hair before blow-drying.

But Moroccanoil went in 100 percent (literally) with this tiny bottle of pure argan oil that you can rub on any dry patch (or section of dry hair) for instant hydration.
