    24 Items If Cool Self-Care Finds Are Your Weakness

    I can guarantee you that you'll be tempted to own every last item.

    1. face mask maker you need if you want to be in control of what ingredients you put on your skin. Just fill with water, then add in your favorite liquid ingredients, push a button, and watch the machine fill the mold with liquid. Once it cools down, you'll be ready to wear your customized face mask.

    Promising review: "This was by far the best purchase I've made in a while. I got it for my wife and daughter who are obsessed with face masks. [They love] the ability to put your own ingredients in it, [and can make the masks] without any harsh chemicals. The masks are thicker, staying on their faces longer and more securely than store-bought ones. Definitely recommend." —darwin paul

    Get it from Amazon for $58.99.

    2. A pack of 100 compressed face mask sheets because it would be super cool to watch them go from the size of purse candy to the size of your face. They're made from cotton and you can dip them into your preferred facial tonic, essence, mist, or really whatever you want. Now you can watch a movie, read a book, or scroll through TikTok while you treat your skin to the good nutrients it needs.

    3. A marshmallow whip maker that combines a little bit of water and a small amount of your favorite cleanser to give you the silkiest face wash you've likely ever felt in your life.

    4. An Elizavecca Milky Piggy carbonated bubble clay mask for ultimate exfoliation without you having to do any real work! It removes blackheads, exfoliates pores, and detoxes the skin. Just apply on your face, wait for five minutes, enjoy the bubbles, then gently rinse it off.

    Promising review: "I have very few skincare items I buy more than once. I LOVE this mask. It bubbles up upon application and the tiny bubbles bursting itch and tickle, but stick out the 10 minutes. The first time I used it, after washing it off you could literally see the junk and oil sitting on top of my skin as it had been pushed to the surface. The next morning my skin glowed. Def will be buying more." —Alice D.

    Promising review: "I've been using this gua sha tool for a few weeks now and I'm already seeing a difference in my skin texture and tone. The natural sibin bian stone feels luxurious and the red light therapy has helped reduce my acne and inflammation. The customizable heat and vibration settings make it easy to personalize my self-care routine. I have also been a longtime user of gua sha on my shoulders for whenever I feel overheated. Using the smart stone’s vibration and red light makes me feel even more relaxed! Overall, I'm very impressed with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their self-care game!" —The Amazonian

    Promising review: "I love these masks! I have had a lifelong battle of fighting acne and combination skin. Some spots are super oily and others are super dry. Using this mask 2–3 times a week has improved my overall appearance and when I do have a breakout, it’s nowhere near as bad." —Miranda

    Promising review: "I have an anxiety disorder and this is helping me sooooo much. Obviously, I'm on supplements, medications, and have a balanced diet and sleep schedule so this isn't the ONLY thing helping my anxiety disorder. When my anxiety gets bad though, even with all of my other helping methods, I really don't feel like pulling up an app or searching a guided breathing session and then trying to find one I can stand. This guy is soooo handy, super simple, and literally turns on and starts guiding your breathing with the touch of a button. I love this tiny man so much. It makes the leftover anxiety that isn't controlled with all of my other methods manageable. Also, he's soothing to squish." —Hale

    Get it from Amazon for $21.95.

    9. multi-functional skin scrubber to give you an at-home facial that includes four modes (cleaning, lifting, ion+, and ion-).

    This has three different functions (cleansing, lifting, and smoothing) and is best to use when your skin is still damp!

    Promising review: "Love this tool! I recently got a professional facial and they used a tool like this one on me! I was so intrigued that I had to purchase one for myself! The price point is amazing and it does the job. Once I used it, I noticed I was able to exfoliate my skin nicely and get some extractions from my clogged pores on my nose and chin. I then used it with a serum, which was nice and how it was used during my facials. Can’t wait to use it more! There are tons of different ways to use it! Great price for a great tool!" —Stephanie Nelson

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three colors).

    10. A bottle of rice water face wash that'll effortlessly remove stubborn makeup, sunscreen, lotions, or whatever you put on your face. With ingredients such as rice water, rice bran, and jojoba oil, you'll have bright and nourished skin in no time. 

    Promising review: "I've tried several first step oil cleansers over the last several years and this is my favorite. Removes waterproof mascara and sunblock so easily. Great texture, turns to 'milk' with just a little water and washes off beautifully. Does not over strip skin." —Christie

    Get it from Amazon for $15.

    Promising review: "I was actually very impressed with this. The picture I posted (left) is how it comes, which is a very good presentation of their product. I am new to these 'zen gardens' but have found that I really enjoy them to wind down and just relax. On the size, this zen garden is a little bigger than an iPad I’d say. I personally didn’t use any of the decorations as I want room to just draw in the sand for now. This set comes with tons of tools to use and they are all super cool. I give this 5/5 stars and recommend it to anyone that enjoys calming activities like coloring, drawing, etc." —Globs

    Get it from Amazon for $39.97.

    13. A stainless-steel rainfall showerhead ready to save you water and replace your old showerhead. Your bathroom is due for a slight upgrade, and you more than deserve to have a luxurious shower experience!

    Promising review: "This is a beautiful showerhead, very thin, but feels quite sturdy and heavy. Installation took no more than five minutes. The shower head has a very smooth, highly polished, mirror-like chrome finish. It gives a satisfying showering experience without wasting too much water. Absolutely no leaks whatsoever. Everybody in our family said they liked it. What else is there to say about a showerhead?" —Sadda Reddy

    Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in five sizes and four finishes).

    14. A gross-but-oh-so-satisfying exfoliating foot mask that has left over 32,000 reviewers in love with their baby-soft feet. Just cut along the dotted line, slip your feet in the booties for an hour, gently wash your feet, and you'll see the dead skin peel away in three to seven days. It might look kinda gross, but the results are totally worth it!

    Promising review: "My feet used to be horribly dry, itchy, and cracked with thick calluses. I started using Baby Foot every couple of months a year ago and my feet are now soft and smooth. Make sure to soak your feet before using and then again at least once a few days later. I leave the booties on for longer than the instructions, usually around two hours. It doesn’t burn or irritate my skin. A few days later the top layer of skin starts peeling all over. It’s REALLY gross-looking so make sure you don’t need to show your feet for about two weeks! The results are amazing so it’s totally worth it! Calluses improve dramatically with one treatment but bad calluses may need a couple of treatments to go away. Make sure to wait at least two weeks before using again. I’ve recommended to all my friends and family. Seems to work for all skin types." —Mostly Maven

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

    15. "Slap It" butt sheet for ya butt cheeks. This mask has tons of delightful plant-based ingredients to retexture your bum! Don't be afraid to show your bottom a little extra love every now and then🍑.

    Promising review: "Smells great! This face mask does exactly what it says. My skin is nice and lifted, hydrated, noticeable reduction in fine lines, improved texture, reduced my pore size, and eliminated some newly developed rough patches forming around the hairline.

    Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust

    Promising review: "Seriously the best product I have ever used on my face! I use it weekly. It is the only thing I’ve added to my skincare routine and everyone I come into contact with is telling me how great my skin looks! Even my eyelash technician/esthetician has complimented the glow and smooth complexion of my face. I have always fought with uneven/rough skin. I have tried all the products and all the serums out there with no results, priced high or low. I even have a $400 personal microdermabrasion machine that doesn’t give me anywhere close to these results. This $30 tool has been life-changing when it comes to my skin! BUY THIS! You will thank me later." —Shelby Derrick

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two colors).

    22. A face steamer because relying on the shower to open your pores just isn't gonna cut it.

    Promising review: "After having seen my esthetician for a few months, I asked her for a facial steamer she'd recommend for home use. She suggested this one and I have been using it nightly since receiving it. It is VERY user-friendly and certainly is making my skin look healthy and therefore, makeup looks better when I go out for the evening, etc. I highly recommend this product and as I use it with a towel over my head in order to keep the steam more focused on my face, it's a complete joy and immensely relaxing." —Antonia O.

    Get it from Amazon for $33.95.

    23. A cool eye stick perfect for anyone who wakes up with ridiculously puffy eyes. Who knew that this cute panda could steal hearts and bring icy relief to your eyes.

    Promising review: "This eye stick lives up to all the hype! After seeing the good reviews, I had to try and it is a winner! Using twice a day for a few weeks the dark circles under my eyes are very noticeably brighter and the cooling sensation is great in the morning. I’m able to apply my primer and makeup just a few moments after using this stick, so it didn’t increase the time it takes to get ready in the morning. I will buy this product as long as it is available. I’m a lifetime customer!!!! Will be purchasing as gifts for others." —Karadarlin

    Get it from Amazon for $12.

    24. A cute little piggy that's gold on the outside and contains luxurious-looking gold face mask goop. This slime is filled with collagen that will leave your face feeling so soft, smooth, and bouncy. Once you apply it, you'll immediately feel like you should be a Kardashian.

    Promising review: "This is a basic gold face mask but I like that it leaves my skin soft without feeling like I need to use cleanser afterward. (Many masks like these that I use leave so much product on the skin it inhibits absorption of other products.) The piggie is sooooo cute sitting on my vanity too and there is a lot of product in it. I’ll get 20 uses out of the jar easily." —CMC
