Treat someone you love and yourself: From a moisturizing lip balm and volumizing haircare set to exfoliating scrubbers and hydration powder with creatine
Life gets hectic, and self-care can easily slip through the cracks. But taking even a few minutes for yourself can make such a difference. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day, treat your skin to something special, or just add a little joy to your routine, I’ve got you covered. I rounded up the best self-care items that’ll help you relax, recharge, and feel like your best self, no matter how busy life gets.
This smoothing & firming tinted lip balm with SPF
This nourishing lip balm contains vitamin C, shea butter, jojoba oil, avocado oil, and olive oil to keep lips smooth, soft, and firm. It doubles as sunscreen for your lips with broad spectrum SPF 30. Sun damaged lips? We don’t know her. Comes in 7 different shades, all sheer and buildable. Vegan, hypo allergenic, and cruelty-free.
This double concentrated thickening shampoo & conditioner set
Treat your hair with this shampoo and conditioner combo with double concentration of 17 ingredients for strong, healthy strands and scalp. Formulated to thicken hair. Ingredients include aloe vera, amino acids, argan oil, apple fruit extract, proteolytic enzymes, hibiscus, vitamin A, pumpkin seed extract, hydrogenated olive oil, tea tree, rosemary, and more. They’re also hypoallergenic, vegan, cruelty-free, and color safe.
This evening hot cocoa for the most restful sleep
This superfoods cocoa is my go-to evening magnesium and superfood drink to help me get relaxed and ready for a restful night’s sleep. I have insomnia, so I have trouble getting to sleep, staying asleep, and often wake up feeling fatigued. MoonBrew doesn’t cure my sleep problems, but it helps a lot. And treating myself to a soothing, warm chocolately drink doesn’t hurt. I highly recommend adding a good teaspoon of Ceylon cinnamon. I prefer to drink it hot, but you can also drink it cold. Just mix with your favorite milk or water.
These 2-sided exfoliating and cleansing facial buffers
The soft side is perfect for removing makeup, and the textured side exfoliates. Easily grip the pad with the elastic strap. I love these for daily use removing makeup or washing my face. About once a week I use the textured side to exfoliate. I just rinse out the soap or makeup remover when I’m done and allow to air dry. And when they’ve served their purpose, they get recycled. Not only are they eco-friendly, Cleanlogic, the company behind these buffers employs people with disabilities, the packaging includes Braille for the visually impaired, and a portion of sales goes to help the visually impaired.
Cleanlogic has body exfoliators too
These large body scrubbers are made with recycled polyester and organic cotton. It also has a hand strap for easy grip and hook so you can hang it up to dry. Same incredible organization as described above.
These gummies for immune support and calm
These gummies contain 300 milligrams of ashwagandha, as well as l-theanine, chamomile, GABA, lemon balm extract, turmeric, and 7 essential vitamins and nutrients. They have a nice strawberry flavor, and the gummies aren’t too sticky. Plus, they’re sugar free. I like taking these daily for a calm focused feeling. I have anxiety, and this helps me feel less on edge while providing some energy and focus.
This lash serum and mascara for fuller, longer lashes
I haven’t been using the lash serum consistently enough to notice results, but the mascara is amazing. My lashes look fuller and longer when using. The formula is sweat and waterproof up to 24 hours. The serum lasts you about six months of daily applications, and it’s never tested on animals.
This skincare device that uses cold plasma technology
The Skin Skulpt Plasma Skin Perfector uses cold plasma (yep, the fancy stuff celebs love) to smooth fine lines, even out skin tone, fade dark spots, and give your face a firmer, glowier look. Just use it every other day for about 15 minutes, and it helps boost collagen and makes your serums work even better. People say their skin feels softer, looks brighter, and makeup goes on smoother, and some have even called it a total confidence booster. If you’re into skincare and want pro-level results without leaving your house, this little device might be your new fave.
This greens & gut health powder that packs a punch
This superfoods greens powder from Floyd Mayweather has probiotics, prebiotics, digestive enzymes and tastes like a lemonade iced tea mix. I like to mix a scoop with water, toss it in the fridge, and drink it first thing in the morning. Self care in a cup.
This easy to use hair removal device
Laser hair removal at home with eHPL technology. I’ve done two treatments so far, and I was surprised to learn how easy it is to use. I should start seeing better results after two or more treatments. I noticed some patchiness happening already. It doesn’t hurt or burn at all, and I haven’t experienced any side effects. You can use it on your face and body where you want to be hair free. It has three head sizes and rotates.
This exfoliating & nourishing mud mask
Bentonite Clay & Hyaluronic Acid help nourish and exfoliate the skin. There’s something so rejuvenating about relaxing in a warm bath with a mud mask, and this one minimizes pores.
This combination supplement for energy and mood
Mood Joy contains ashwagandha, 5HTP, turmeric, St. John’s Wort, cayenne, and vitamin B6 to support emotional wellbeing. You have to give it some time, but it seems to work.
This high protein, convenient drink
I love Protein Powder’s premade shakes for a convenient protein boost, especially with breakfast. The 100% whey protein powder is easy on my gut (even with lactose intolerance), and they taste great. It has 30 grams of protein per serving, which makes it a little easier to reach my daily protein goal, plus it’s fortified with vitamins and minerals.
This protein packed green powder
ON3 Athletic contains plant protein (pea seed), chlorella, biotin, MCT powder, astaxanthin, and almond mushroom for immune function, recovery, and energy. It tastes pretty good!
Next level energy source for boosted brain function
MTE is one of my favorite drinks. I felt more energized and focused, whether I went to the gym or sat at my desk. There was no crash and no jitters, and it supported my research and writing. I felt focused and motivated. Plus, it mixes so well. Ingredients include paraxanthine, saffron, l-theanine, and ashwagandha.
This hair care set for soft, fluffy strands
Shop at Amazon Shampoo and Conditioner
Shop at Amazon Hair Serum and Keratin Mask
Remilia Hair’s Green Goddess Collection is everything. The shampoo, conditioner, keratin mask, and serum was a treat for my damaged, dry locks. My hair has never felt so soft and fluffy and moisturized. Ingredients include rosemary oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil. Take some time to treat your hair with these 100% vegan, cruelty-free formulas. The packaging is beautiful and functional.
This whole line of kick *ss items from Chuck Norris himself
Roundhouse Provisions Hydration Punch is a no sugar/artificial sweetener added drink mix that combines electrolytes and creatine for the ultimate recovery drink. While I typically don’t like lemon lime flavors, this one tastes great. The creatine in Hydration Punch is Clonapure, one of the only creatine supplements on the market with phosphocreatine, which means it instantly energizes muscles and aids in recovery, no loading necessary. I highly recommend checking out Roundhouse Provisions’ (what a fantastic name) other products, like its Morning Kick and Emergency Ration Bars.
This exfoliating and moisturizing lip scrub
Treat your lips to a little self care with this lip scrub. It has sugar for gentle exfoliation, and goat milk for hydration. My lips were smooth and moisturized after using. I loved the nice vanilla scent, too.
Functional coffee with collagen peptides
Enjoy a good tasting mushroom coffee (hot or cold), and add in some collagen peptides for healthy hair, skin, and nails. Beyond Brew contains prebiotic fiber, probiotic support, L-theanine, lion’s mane, and reshi for calm and focus, and cacao for flavor. Flavors include vanilla latte, light cacao, and caramel macchiato. The collagen peptides come in peach mango, chocolate, and unflavored.
This pimple patch that works overnight
I love a pimple patch that works and works fast. I had a huge zit on my forehead when these came in, so I put one on and that thing reduced in size and redness by morning. I’ve used several since then and they always stay on all night or day. And the travel case? So convenient.
This nootropic with plasmalogens
This nootropic contains plasmalogens from sea pineapples to reduce memory loss and support concentration, focus, and memory. As a women of a certain age, I’m trying to treat my brain to more self care routines, and this is one of them.
This morning drink with prebiotics, probiotics and green superfoods
Taste good and provides fiber. My favorite flavor is the apple cinnamon, but also comes in citrus or mixed berry. I like to add a scoop to a cup of water with a cover, put in the fridge, and drink it first thing in the morning.
