When used on dry hair, each RickyCare No-Frizz Oil Comb deposits a tiny dose of oil onto strands, instantly replacing frizz and static with smoothness and shine. $5.99 each; rickysnyc.com

Skin inflammation is like chocolate: A little is good (inflammation is part of the wound-healing process), but a lot can spell trouble.
