1. A marshmallow whip maker so you can turn your favorite daily cleanser into a foamy concoction. Just combine a tiny amount with water and pump down to create some fluffy, mousse-like foam.
Promising review: "Fun, easy to use. Makes facial cleanser last much longer! I use a sensitive skin cleanser that doesn’t foam, unless I use this fun thing! Foams right up with only a squirt of my cleanser. Easy to use, easy to clean. Makes washing my face fun!" —Beanie11
Get it from Amazon for $8 (also available as part of a kit).
2. An Elizavecca Milky Piggy carbonated bubble clay mask that'll exfoliate your skin and remove blackheads for the ultimate spa experience. After applying it, wait five minutes for bubbles to form, remove the foam and let the charcoal sit for a little before taking washing it off — fun and purifying!
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.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
3. A bottle of The Face Shop facial cleanser for bright and soft skin. It removes makeup, sunscreen, basically anything and everything you put on your face with its rice water, rice bran, and jojoba oil formula.
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.
4. A smart stone that one-ups traditional gua sha stones. It has nine levels of vibration and heat to help reduce any tightness and bring you complete relaxation. It can also help reduce puffiness and improve circulation — a self-care necessity.
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
Get it from Amazon for $60+ (available in three styles).
5. A shampoo scalp massager to exfoliate and massage your scalp in the shower for a DIY spa experience. Plus if you have psoriasis, dandruff, or a tender scalp, reviewers mention that this nifty thing could help!
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord also swears by hers. Here's her rave review: "I own one of these and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice."
Promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z
Get it from Amazon for $8.58+ (available in three colors).
6. A breathing owl that'll provide you with a color-coordinated guided meditation. It indicates when inhale, hold your breath, and exhale. I mean, how could you be upset looking at this adorable lil thing!
Not only does it guide your breathing, it can also emit seven white noise nature sounds and acts as a night-light!
Promising review: "I just got my owl today. Used it for only five minutes and realized how quickly this meditation guide made me very aware of my breathing and stress even when not actively using it. I loved it so much I bought two more for family members. Really wonderful to find a rare, but useful item that doesn’t cost a fortune but is invaluable. Use this before bed and throughout the day to reduce anxiety and apparently reduces blood pressure when used consistently." — D Willis
Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (also available in bunny, puppy, or unicorn styles).
7. A roll-on migraine stick to deal with your unavoidable headaches especially after a long day of work or just...life. Just rub this peppermint, spearmint, and lavender essential oils formula onto your temples, forehead, and neck to soothe that pesky headache so you can truly relax.

I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell

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

They help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, clear small breakouts, and deeply hydrate your skin. Don't be frightened by the name — the mask cracks in areas that need moisture and is rough in areas that lack elasticity.
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. Couldn't be more satisfied with this product! I have pretty good skin, but this mask has really helped take my skin to the next level." —Samantha

Promising review: "I went to a high-end spa that used one of these on my face. It felt so good so I ran home and found this on Amazon. This tool is the best. I use it for a thigh issue that needs to be iced frequently. It's so easy – no bags of ice? Just use the freezer roller! I use it for headaches and on my face to feel good! I can't say enough good things about this product — everyone should have one! My boyfriend loves it too!" —Rula
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 12 colors).
12. An octopus-shaped blackhead-removing stick that removes whiteheads, blackheads, and other impurities *and* exfoliates your skin. You can just rinse it off with warm water when you're done so you don't have to constantly buy one-time-use pore strips.
See it in action on TikTok here.
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 me." —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
13. A pair of moisturizing gloves so your hands will become as soft as kitten paws. Its shea butter, collagen, olive oil, rose oil, and orange oil formula can help moisturize your rough and dry skin and strengthen brittle nails.

Promising review: "Upon just recently finding out that I have low porosity hair, I was informed that I need to deep condition with heat to assist with moisture. I love this cap! I love that it allows me to do other things while deep conditioning. I’ve used it twice since purchasing and it will be a staple in my routine! Also, thank you for the plastic caps that were included!" —L.N.
Get it from Glow By Daye for $37.97 (also available in five colors).
15. A bottle of Cosrx snail mucin essence that helps soothe dehydrated skin and reduces dullness. It's a cult-favorite for a reason — it's perfect for ALL skin types, even if you have oily skin!
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord also swears by this. She writes: "I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help completely kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!"
Promising review: "Recommended from a dermatologist, which is very important when choosing skincare. I use it in the morning after toner then follow up with a light moisturizer, vitamin C, then SPF, and my skin is glowing. I’ve received many compliments after incorporating this into my routine." —E. Rice

Promising review: "Honestly a friend sent me a TikTok video on this item. I was like for $20 I'll try it, and oh my god, I have lower back problems and 20 minutes lying on this spiking mat helped relieve pressure. I work remotely and am sitting down for 8–10 hours a day, so tension builds up and this totally worked. So many ways to try using the mat." —Arlington Ink
Get it from Amazon for $26.09+ (available in 14 colors).
17. A self-care weekly tracker to plan your week ahead of time. It comes with goals that you can assign for each day such as putting your phone down and "live! laugh! love!" How adorable!
Promising review: "I’m a fan of these types of lists, so when I saw this it was a great reminder to be more intentional with my own self-care. Even in small ways, setting goals for time to be mindful is a good idea, so having a plan for my week is helpful! Thanks for the assist!!" —Suz
Get it from Amazon for $10.50.

It also comes with a five-piece stainless steel blackhead and blemish extractor kit!
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 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "This is the best heating pad I have ever bought. It is the perfect size and so soft. The 12 levels of temperature control are perfect. In the past I have had heating pads that are either surface of the sun hot or you can't tell they are even on. I would absolutely recommend this one!" —Kim Deal

20. And a heated massager so you can relieve all your stress when you come home from work. You can use it on your back, neck, legs, and even your feet so you can knead out all those knots.
Promising review: "I have horrific tension headaches and migraines. This thing melts them away so quickly. You can adjust the pressure by pulling on the handles or lay back into it. The heat is just enough to relax. I went around and around trying to decide if something like this was worth it and I finally just decided to try it. Trust me; buy the massager!" —Kelly Dyer
Get it from Amazon for $49.96+ (available in two colors).
21. A foot mask that peels off dead skin buildup on the soles of your feet and helps repair cracked heels. Just leave the masks on for about an hour and within 7–14 days, your ~dogs~ will start to shed. It'll basically turn you into a snake, but in the best way possible. Kinda gross but also really satisfying, right?
Promising review: "I've worked retail for almost 30 years and it takes a toll on your feet. I recently had a deep crack develop in my heel and it hurt. After weeks of pampering my feet, putting Vaseline on them and sleeping in socks every night, and wearing only sneakers to work, I got the crack healed. I really needed a pedicure but I was afraid of the salon doing the cheese grater thing on my freshly mended heel. I opted for this instead to hopefully shed some of the hardened skin before I get a spring pedicure. IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE. After one application, my feet have all of this beautiful smooth skin! It feels so nice to get rid of all of that old, hard skin. I'm going to give it one more week and then I will go get a fresh pedicure. I can't wait. Seriously, just buy this. It's amazing and so easy. Plus, you get two applications. I'm saving the second one and will do that one in a couple of months." —Beth
Get it from Amazon for $13.04+ (available in three scents).
22. Shower steamers so you can make the most out of your steaming hot wash. Just place it on the shower floor and it'll release aromatherapy essential oils so you'll come out rejuvenated.
Promising review: "I originally bought these when I was sick with a cold, but now I love them anytime! The scent is unbelievable and makes you feel like you're in a spa. I close the bathroom door and make the room super steamy... pop one of these into the tub and let the water run over it. They last much longer in the shower than I expected. Would be nice in a gift basket I think too." —Wanda G
Get a 15-pack from Amazon for $29.99 (clip the coupon on the product page to save $10 on select scents; available in five scents).
23. A Saem hydrating eye stick to reduce the appearance of dark circles, lines, and puffiness with Iceland mineral water, xylitol, moss and seaweed extract, and niacinamide — all without oils. For a top-notch experience, use after refrigeration to better help reduce puffiness.
It also can help tighten the appearance of eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable.
Promising review: "I have always had bags and dark circles under my eyes and have tried sooooo many things. I was skeptical that this would work, but oh. my. goodness. This little stick is amazing. The puffiness was gone. Dark circles, still there some but definitely not as bad. It also smells really nice and absorbs instantly. Plus, the container is cute. I highly recommend to anyone else who has tried all the things and been disappointed." —HeartsUnfold
