1. An acetone-free soak-off gel nail polish remover you simply apply directly on top of your nails like an extra coat of polish — it bubbles up and shrivels the gel polish in just three minutes, making it easy to remove without all the hassle of going back to a salon or the weird smells of other at-home removal kits.
2. A mesh body exfoliator from LuvScrub that stretches up to 50 inches (!!) to take care of your whole human self as quickly and efficiently as possibly — its large size and unique texture help smooth and clean skin all over your body, including hard-to-reach places like your back, so you can get that post-exfoliation glow in a fraction of the time.
3. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment, an Olaplex "dupe" repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding. All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.
4. Eden BodyWorks Coconut Shea Curl Defining Creme made with coconut oil, shea butter, aloe, and avocado oil help define and moisturize air-dried curls *without* a long routine. This medium-hold creme is ideal for wash 'n' gos, twist, or braid-outs.
5. A set of itty bitty dermaplaning razors you can use to get those lil' unibrow hairs that keep dodging your tweezers or shave whatever face fuzzies you might want to take care of in a fast, gentle way.
6. Or a painless battery-charged hair remover you can simply glide over super fine hair like the hair above your lip or between your brows instead of time-consuming wax.
7. An allergy relief candle made with camphor, eucalyptus, and mint to help clear up all the congestion in your sinuses that may be coming out to play with allergy season on the horizon.
8. A set of portable soap paper sheets for immediate hand-washing when you're on the move — each of these packs has 200 (!!) sheets that create suds the moment they're exposed to water, and will your fingers so clean you might be tempted to use the extra time to do some jazz hands.
9. Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind concealer, an inexpensive lightweight concealer for anyone who wants to quickly touch up before Zoom calls or walks around the neighborhood, but doesn't want to commit to a whole layer of foundation. (Psst — this also helps cover dark circles without caking and reduce puffiness!)
10. A popular streak-free anti-fog spray you can quickly apply to eyeglasses, sunglasses, and face shields in just over a minute to prevent them from fogging up while you're wearing a mask.
11. A suuuper popular Bio-Oil made with vitamins A and E, chamomile, and lavender — you may recognize it as a product a lot of people use to help fade scars (both old and new), soothe cracked and dry skin, and help moisturize without affecting your pores, but people are also using it in quarantine for immediate relief for dry and painful skin on their hands from hand-washing and sanitizing.
12. A foot file to remove calluses and hard or cracked skin from your feet with some gentle, pain-free rubbing. It works whether your feet are dry or wet at the time, and will leave your heels feeling gloriously soft.
13. A roll-on migraine stick made with peppermint, spearmint, and lavender oils that works in mere minutes to help soothe away migraines or that vague headache you sometimes get from sitting in one place for too long (Big Work From Home Mood, y'all).
14. A pack of NeuroGum made with a blend of caffeine and nootropics, designed to give you energy five times faster than regular coffee — without jitters or sluggishness afterward. All of the zing, none of the crash (or 15 mid-afternoon trips to the bathroom!!).
15. A 3D mouth bracket that instantly clips to the inside of your face mask to keep you from breathing in fabric (especially important for someone like me who talks a million miles an hour and needs to suck in a lot of air!!).
16. A bottle of Drop It, a natural wine sulfate and tannin remover that works its magic on your glass in just 20 seconds, sparing you the infamous Post-Wine Headache and allergic reactions. It's also a lot more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly than wine wands or other competitors — a single bottle of this can be used to treat up to 55 glasses of wine, as opposed to wands that can only do a few glasses each before they get tossed.
17. A detangling brush with an easy-to-hold handle that's so effective on all hair types that it's amassed over 20,000 5-star reviews on Amazon — people swear by it for detangling fast without pulling on or damaging hair (or buying an entire shelf's worth of detangling creams that never *quite* do the trick).
18. A dream balm made with calming herbs and essential oils like lavender, chamomile, mugwort, and valerian to help you nod off to dreamland quickly (and then actually *stay* there).
19. Glossier Futuredew, an oil-serum hybrid that quite literally calls itself a "shortcut" to dewy skin. Its blend is designed to be worn either without makeup or under makeup for a bright, gleaming finish that's noticeable from the moment you dab it on. Basically, a life hack for your skin.
20. A vitamin C-based face serum for brighter, firmer skin with muuuuch faster results than most of its competitors. A lot of reviewers could see a difference within just a few days of use.
21. An extra-strength neuropathy cream made with cayenne, ginger, and turmeric, giving it a lil' extra ~kick~ compared to other pain relief creams on the market that'll work to tackle the spots you're trying to target fast.
22. An earwax removal kit, so you don't have to wait until your yearly physical for your doctor to be like "um WHOA" and fix it for you. This is quicker, easier, and will be a huge relief for those of us waxy individuals who sometimes wake up in the morning with an ear so fully clogged-up that it feels like you're underwater.
23. Essence's Lash Princess mascara for instant length on the first swipe, without worrying about clumpiness or fading throughout the day. TBH, butterflies will be jealous of these ~wings~.
24. A super plush faux fur weighted blanket designed with tempered glass beads to give you the kind of deep pressure that may help reduce anxiety and restless sleeping, giving you an extra *bonk* to your consciousness you need to get to sleep faster.
25. A hair thinner and cutter that people swear by for all sorts of quick styling hacks, whether it's trimming their bangs, maintaining a cut, giving themselves natural looking layers, or trimming and styling wigs.
26. A toothbrush and shaving razor sanitizer complete with holders for up to four utensils — this sleek bb kills 99.9% of harmful bacteria in just a 10-minute cycle (and has an optional three-hour heat cycle to eliminate moisture, too).
27. An easy-to-use root touch up every bit as effective as going to a professional to get it done — it takes 10 minutes to apply, and then gives you even coverage that lasts several weeks.
28. A memory foam seat cushion for your tushy so effective at relieving pressure from your tailbone that you'll finally be able to tell the difference the *moment* you sit your fine self down on it.
29. A long-lasting stainless-steel tongue scraper to help take care of odor-causing bacteria and soft plaque in just a few quick swipes, without irritating your gag reflex the way a spoon might.
30. A jar of Aztec healing clay masks for acne that essentially suck the gunk out of your pores (and pre-existing acne) like a vacuum, and after 20 minutes of working its magic, will leave your skin feeling so smooth and firm you'll want to pet it.
31. Or a superfoods face mask, an all-natural powder blend made with chlorella, spirulina, and mango juice that turns into a gel that gently detoxifies and leaves you ✨radiant✨ after the very first use. It also helps with redness, irritation, and breakouts, and helps restore collagen for that extra ~glow~.
32. A pack of the internet-beloved Mighty Match Pimple Spot Treatment, a hydrocolloid sticker that you can apply straight onto a zit to flatten it, reduce redness, and even suck the gunk out of it overnight. Personally *love* to see a problem magically disappear while I am dreaming about somehow being teleported to a party in Bridgerton.
33. A compression foot sleeve to help manage heel pain and plantar fasciitis from the moment you put them on. The compression is so effective that even reviewers with chronic pain swear by them for instantly alleviating pain.
34. A dual hair dryer and brush to dry your hair as you style it, drastically cutting down prep time — the brush is designed so you can get right up close to your roots without worrying about the heat, so not only does it dry faster, but it'll also give your 'do some extra volume and lift to boot.
35. Or a well-loved diffuser attachment for drying curly hair — it's built with an extra-large design for quicker drying, and 360-degree air flow to diffuse hair evenly and gently, so hair can maintain its natural curl and bounce.
36. A ~handy~ adjustable heating pad for immediate carpal tunnel and tendinitis relief that you can use hot *or* cold, depending on your pain management needs — just pop this mitt on and get all the instant relief you need (while still keeping your fingers free for important things like eating pizza, or texting "don't steal my pizza" from the other room).
37. A Squatty Potty, one of those internet-famous stools you can put at the base of your toilet to prop your feet up on while you ~go~. The placement helps align your colon to make the process a whole lot easier and faster — like, 20 seconds compared to several minutes! — so you don't end up watching all of TikTok while you're waiting yourself out.
38. A delightful little tool called the "Bug Bite Thing" that suctions on all kinds of bug bites to reduce swelling, itchiness, and redness without buying a bunch of creams and riding out the uncomfy rollercoaster of itch. It only takes about 30 seconds to use, but will spare you DAYS of itching.
39. An eyebrow tint that only takes three minutes to semi-permanently dye your brow hairs for up to six weeks, helping either fill them in or to dye over gray hairs just as effectively as a salon tint would. A lot of reviewers swapped this for doing brow makeup completely.
40. A set of Sea Bands, which target an acupuncture point on your wrists meant to instantly help reduce nausea. Basically, if you're someone who has motion sickness, morning sickness, migraine nausea, or even nausea brought on by cramps, this may the be thing to take you from 🥴to 😊.
41. A super-soft Makeup Eraser to wipe makeup right off your face with nothing but water and a gentle scrub — I've been using one for two months now and it has *drastically* cut down my routine (plus saved money on makeup remover).
42. A tin of Cirepil blue wax beads that use a gentle hard wax to easily remove both the coarsest and finest of hairs in a matter of minutes, leaving you with skin so smooth you'll have that Just Walked Out Of A Fancy Salon feeling all day.
