It’s time to drop everything and dedicate a whole day to yourself. And no, we don’t mean binge-watching Netflix in your pajamas (although that’s not a bad idea). We’re talking about some serious self-care.

We picked 10 exclusively selected items that will make you feel like royalty. So put on your comfiest bathrobe, light some candles, and let’s get this self-care party started.

1. No spa day is complete without a good facial mask. Your face is one of the most exposed parts of your body, so give it the treatment it deserves, especially if you wear makeup every day. This hydrating, pore-tightening mask will replace the expensive treatments you’d get in a beauty salon.

This powder-to-liquid facial mask moisturizes dry areas and reduces oil in your T-zone. It has line markings on the activator bottle, so it’s easy to mix parts of the activator with the powder. The mask is enriched with an egg white component and aloe vera extract. Each package contains 8 sets of 8 powders, 1 activator, and 1 brush.

Promising review: I’m so impressed with this product, I’m willing to embarrass myself with a “before” picture to show you how well it worked for me. I was desperate for a moisturizing remedy to ease the discomfort of dry, itchy, blotchy, winter skin. I read about this and gave it a shot.
It’s easy to mix and apply. As it dries it hardens, clings, and stretches the skin. Not my favorite part, it’s uncomfortable. Speaking and blinking and such are not gonna happen, so plan accordingly. After 10–15 minutes, it easily rinses off with lukewarm water.
The results: ultra moisturized, smooth, refreshed, supple skin. Fantastic! @Luckweasel12

2. You won’t wake up looking like an exhausted owl with eye bags anymore. This sleep mask is like a bra but for your eyes. It blocks out the light perfectly because it has special eye cups. It’s also a must-have item for those with lash extensions.

The mask has large, deep eye cups that won’t rub against your eyes or eyelashes, so you can blink easily. The ultra-plush material and 100% light blockage will make your environment stress-free. The elevated sockets are makeup-friendly, so you can take a nap without the hassle of redoing your lashes. The cupped design also eliminates discomfort caused by the rapid eye movement sleep phase, so no more droopy eyes or blurry vision!

Promising review: I never leave Amazon reviews, but I have to for this because I love it so much. I used to not like eye masks because they made me feel claustrophobic, but because of the little cushions around your eyes, these don’t feel that way at all. The light pressure almost has a swaddling effect, making me more at ease, and the satin-like material is lovely.
It has a noticeably positive effect on my sleep, it became much deeper. Great for travel and sleeping on the go too. Such an essential for me now that I just lost my initial one and had to order a new one straight away! @Thesiswoman

3. Your sore muscles and wound-up nerves will love this acupressure pillow with small nails. If you’ve tried everything for your back or neck pain and nothing worked, try out this pillow. Pair it with the sleep mask and you’ll sleep like a baby.

The pillow has 2,142 nails overall and 42 nails per plate. It stimulates more points with less intensity and provides an invigorating experience rather than a painful one. It’s suitable for a targeted zone treatment, ideal for cellulite, sciatica, headaches, migraine relief, back support, stress, and neck pain relief.

Use it as a foot zone therapy reflexology mat for full-body relaxation. What’s more, the plastic is non-toxic and recyclable and is secured to organic cotton with a melting process instead of environmentally damaging glue.

Promising review: I’ve had issues with pain and discomfort in my neck and the top of my shoulders for a couple of years, and, at times, it became nearly unbearable and certainly prevented me from sleeping. This little pillow works wonders, fits perfectly into the curve of my neck and relaxes it and the top of my shoulders, relieving tension and pain, would recommend it along with the mat, which I also have. Use at least 2–3 times per week to ensure a good night’s sleep. @The JC

4. Treat yourself to a luxurious scrubbing session with this anti-cellulite coffee scrub. It will wake up your body and give it a boost of vitamins and, of course, a relaxing massage. The powerful combination of the Dead Sea salt and coffee will leave your skin smooth like butter.

The scrub is sulfate-free, paraben-free, and 100% vegan, so it’s suitable for all skin types. It has a caffeine component of coffee arabica that stimulates circulation, improves blood flow, and helps with cellulite. The sea buckthorn oil’s vitamins and antioxidants promote elasticity and rejuvenate saggy and dull skin. Among the ingredients are also sweet almond oil, coconut oil, and vitamin E.

Promising review: This scrub by far is one of the best scrubs I’ve ever used! It leaves my skin silky smooth thanks to the coconut oil it contains. The scent is not very strong, I actually like it, and this is coming from someone who hates the smell of coffee beans and freshly brewed coffee.
I use it on my face, body, hands, and feet and can’t get enough of it. I’ll be buying more of it for sure. I’m so glad I discovered this product! @Krasimira Stoykova

5. Self-care is not only about beauty but about one’s emotional state as well. This therapy dough will be here for you when you’re on the verge. It’s like good old bubble wrap but better. Let go of trapped emotions in a healthy way.

This handmade dough is infused with spa-quality oils and comes in a container that’s perfect for emergency stress relief. The soft, subtle color and the aromatherapy act as a calming agent, helping you become centered again. Please note that it’s not suitable for children under 3 years old.

Promising review: This dough has made such a difference for so many. As a therapist, I have purchased multiple scents, and it continues to be a favorite calming accessory in my office, mainly for adults. I refer to it as “adult play-doh” given it is scented, extremely soft, and all ages enjoy it. @Natalie

6. Your meditation sessions will be on a whole other level with this visual meditation tool. It’s a cute reminder for you to slow down and be mindful. You should definitely try it if you struggle to meditate. This little guy will help you out.

This easy-to-use device helps reduce stress and anxiety and improves sleep and one’s overall well-being. It features fade-in and fade-out color prompts that simulate the popular 4/7/8 calming breath. Inhale when it’s green, hold when it’s purple, and exhale when it’s blue.

It’s durable and has a battery life of up to 2 months at 10 minutes a day. The preset calming color comes in cycles and shuts off automatically after 3 hours, making it easy to use and worry-free.

Promising review: I have a box breathing app but rarely use it. Having a visual in front of me is better and it’s cute. With it on my nightstand, I now have a reminder to pause/focus on breathing better. I definitely see this becoming part of my regular bedtime routine! @fashionista87

7. Put smiles on your family’s faces (including yours) with these adorable headbands. They’re suitable for all head sizes and the bands aren’t too tight. They are also easy to wash — nothing happens to them in a regular wash cycle.

You’ll get 4 pieces in 4 different designs, each made with high-quality coral fleece material that’s lightweight and breathable. They’re perfect for keeping your hair out of your face while exercising, doing your makeup, or washing your face. Their length is 56 cm, and they can stretch up to 74 cm.

Promising review: These headbands are so cute, and they are an amazing gift for a girlfriend or mom. I got it for my girlfriend, and she found them extremely helpful for her nighttime skincare routine. They are very fluffy and warm and fit very easily around her head.
I also tried it on my head (I have a big massive watermelon of a head) and it fits perfectly fine. It’s quite stretchy but isn’t tight when worn. The designs are also very nice and always make me smile when I see my girlfriend wearing it, especially the white one. No complaints from anyone, definitely recommend! @luka mamaladze

8. You won’t have to cover up any blemishes on your skin because you won’t have any! This anti-aging cream is also moisturizing and nourishing, and you can apply it in the morning or at night. Just think about all the money you’ll save on anti-aging creams if you buy this!

This cream has powerful anti-aging peptides, such as a Matrixyl 3000 blend to help rebuild collagen within your skin. It provides maximum hydration and reduces deep wrinkles, dark spots, and uneven skin with ingredients like Argireline and hyaluronic acid. Plus, you’ll get a free e-book with tips and tricks for looking younger.

Promising review: I had high standards for this cream, considering what I was using before plus all those fantastic reviews. I can assure you it did not disappoint. This is now my go-to face cream. I wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of the quality compared to the other cream, but I have to tell you, I was literally blown away.
This cream has a real quality that could easily take on bigger name brands and win. It is so smooth, soft, and light. Even the texture is really nice when you first touch the cream. It doesn’t take long to settle on the skin.
Your face is super smooth and moisturized, even hubby remarked how soft my skin was. I haven’t been using the cream long, but there is a noticeable difference in my skin. It even keeps my eczema at bay. @Mrs H L Gray

9. For those who don’t recognize their morning face or always have headaches, this cooling face mask has got you covered (literally, it covers your whole face). The adjustable straps keep the mask in place, so you can do whatever you want, except maybe eat a sandwich, that’ll be a little tricky.

This wonderful gel ice pack mask is perfect for all your facial woes — whether it’s dark circles, postoperative pain, insect bites, or just that afterparty face. It covers your whole face and has holes for your nose, mouth, and eyes, while adjustable straps keep your hands free to do other things (like binge-watch your favorite show). Besides, it’s safe, reusable, and flexible, so you can use it over and over again without worrying about leaks or rips.

Please note that it’s better to consult a professional if you suffer from frequent migraines.

Promising review: This mask is brilliant, it really cools you down. It’s really well-made and a good value for the money. Make sure you put it into a ziplock bag or something before putting it in the fridge as it soaks up food smells and mine now smells of garlic, which I absolutely hate and makes me feel sick.
The cold of the mask was wonderful. I also have a hat that has ice packs in and you freeze. I use the hat and mask when I have a migraine or cluster headache to keep my head, neck, and face cool, and the 2 together are just amazing. @natasha colcombe

10. A world where split ends don’t exist is no longer a dream! This heat cap will put an end to bad hair days. You can walk around while conditioning your hair — no need to stay near an outlet. Pop the cap in the microwave for 1–2 minutes, according to your desired temperature, and let the heat bring out the best in your conditioner.

Its unique design and placement of flaxseed inside each bonnet ensures that heat radiates through the entire cap evenly and gently, giving your hair the deep conditioning it needs to reduce breakage and split ends. It fits all head types, even those with thick, long hair, and it’s perfect for all hair types and textures.

Promising review: I have very thin, frizzy hair that needs heating conditioners to look good. This cap helps tremendously in that area. Once a month, I use a tabletop dryer, but all other times, I can use this cap for hot oil treatments or hair masks that make such a difference on my hair.
It’s comfortable to wear and feels good on my scalp. Not too hot at all. Just be sure to wear a plastic cap with it and you will see a difference. I highly recommend this bonnet, no matter what texture of hair you might have. @Alfreda
