Color Wow dreamcoat spray: Was £27, now £18.90, Amazon.co.uk
It’s loved by the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian , and I’m also a big fan of this humidity hero. Promising to waterproof hair even in the UK’s unpredictable weather, I found in my full dream coat supernatural spray review that “Color Wow’s dream coat did a stellar job of keeping my hair straight and adding some serious gloss. There was no hint of a wave poking through and, my locks still looked relatively shiny after a day in the rain.” Now you can save 30 per cent off with this limited-time Prime deal and, why not check out my round up of the best Color Wow deals all round this Prime Day.

ghd original hair straightener: Was £139, now £94.99, Amazon.co.uk
It may be the original model, but it packs just as much of a styling punch as its younger siblings. Indeed, one of our IndyBest testers found the original hair straightener to “[create] similarly impressive results to those you get with a newer model, delivering long-lasting looks, whether [she] opted for a straight or wavy style.” Whether you had these for Christmas in 2008 or you’re just learning about ghd now, the original plates are always a failsafe.

A real handbag essential, I take my original eight hour cream everywhere with me, and use it for everything, be it dry cuticles or chapped lips. The balm smells like the inside of a luxury spa and the texture is somewhere between a petroleum jelly and a thick cleansing balm, coming together to feel deeply nourishing. If there’s one product worth your money this Amazon Prime Day, it’s this.

Our Indybest tester trusted this SPF wholeheartedly as it protects from both UVB, UVA and long UVA rays. As for the “lightweight lotion” formula, it “instantly absorbs into the skin, while hyaluronic acid and vitamin E give that hit of hydration”, she found.

CeraVe AM facial moisturising lotion SPF30: Was £16.50, now £11, Amazon.co.uk
I love CeraVe for all things affordable skincare, but the SPF moisturising lotion has to come up top. Whether it’s for a day in the Costa del Sol or an overcast day in ‘Blighty, I never leave the house without my trusty SPF. Our IndyBest tester found the formula to “instantly [absorb] into the skin for long-lasting moisture that’s neither sticky nor shiny.” What more could you want?

It’s versatile thanks to its five different attachments and “perhaps the best airwrap dupe you can buy”. At nearly 30 per cent off, there’s no better time to get your hair looking its best.

Our tester commented in her review that “this no-frills product helps [her] manage [her] skin during a flare-up, improving the texture of [her] scarring and banishing any inflammation.” Acne sufferers, this one will be your holy grail.
