Conditioner in Mousse Form
I have fine hair, yet I love conditioner. I want my hair to be baby soft and brushable. However, there are plenty of fine-haired ladies who avoid conditioner completely -- and I'm sad for them. Now, there's Goldwell Kerasilk Repower Volume Foam Conditioner, $29.99, which everyone with fine hair is going to freak over. It's a conditioner, but in mousse form. And it's so much more decadent than a regular mousse -- I'm talking thick and fluffy like freshly whipped heavy cream. It smells divine and makes your hair even better. I'm confident it will convert conditioner avoiders.

A Drink for Your Skin
Many years ago, a facialist told me if your skin doesn't feel moist and a little tacky to the touch after you apply your nightly skin care, then you need to use more. Complete absorption is a bad thing -- you're not giving your skin a big enough "drink." So I layer, and I layer and layer some more -- and sometimes it still isn't enough. Enter DCL Hydra Boost Finishing Serum, $110. It's a serious moisture boost you apply after all your other steps to lock in moisture and keep your thirsty skin hydrated all night. It contains three types of hyaluronic, which really is as close as your face is going to get to a big drink.

Skin Care Scrub for Your Scalp
Because my hair is fine, I'm particularly concerned with hair thinning and scalp health. And Keranique is an interesting brand because the products were formulated for the scalp first and the hair second -- the rationale being if you have a healthy scalp, you'll have healthy, beautiful hair as a result. My new obsession is the Keranique Micro-Exfoliating Follicle Revitalizing Mask, $45, which removes buildup and exfoliates the scalp while leaving hair soft with tons of volume. It also contains special proteins and a keratin amino complex to protect against breakage, but, like I said, the hair benefits are secondary. The incredibly clean, smooth, refreshed scalp feeling is everything.

Neck Cream to Feel Good About
Ever since reading Nora Ephon's "I Feel Bad About My Neck," I've been worried about keeping my neck as youthful as possible. Then, "tech neck" became a thing (the neck wrinkles you get from looking down at your phone), and my paranoia went into overdrive. Fortunately, Roc Multi Correxion 5 in 1 Chest, Neck and Face Cream, $27.99, is here to calm my fears. It's specifically formulated for thin neck and chest skin, and it has five benefits: helping with moisture, radiance, firmness, lines and sun damage.

Tiniest Hair Tie
In case you missed it, I have fine hair. And one of the most depressing things about having fine hair is the so-scrawny-it's-practically-invisible tail I'm left with when I wear a braid. The end of my braid is so pathetic, it's nearly impossible to tie it with anything other than a bit of string or a braces elastic -- neither of which leaves much room for styling options.

The Invisibobble Nano, $6.95, was created especially for skinny braids, fine hair and delicate hairstyles. This tiny spiral hair holder has tons of grip and can be used in countless ways. Plus, it makes a scrawny braid tail look so much happier -- and never creased.

April is the first full month of spring, and the same way it's a time of rebirth in nature, there are countless new beauty products emerging. I narrowed down the best new beauty products launching in April to just the essentials -- because everyone needs a hair-rejuvenating scalp scrub and a miniature hair tie that looks like a telephone cord. All joking aside, there's so much to love about each of these new beauty products -- you'll want to run out and buy them all.
