Scratching your head over why your scalp is feeling irritated? It just might be the cold weather, which can take out all the hydration and moisture, making it dry and itchy. Thankfully, Aveda’s Overnight Scalp Renewal Serum from its Scalp Solutions collection, with its blend of natural ingredients—including lactobacillus ferment and ectoine bacteria—works overnight while you get your beauty sleep to fortify the scalp’s barrier, while the ever-reliable hyaluronic acid helps improve hydration. The best part? It works on all scalp and hair types.

Those looking to quickly rejuvenate their skin—for instance, in time for Valentine’s Day—could give this a try.
