We don’t know about you, but you don’t have to tell us twice to indulge in some self-care. We love taking the extra time and slathering on a multi-step skincare routine, creating an at-home spa in our bathroom, or lighting a candle and sinking into a bubble bath with a good book. Self-care isn’t just about treating yourself; it’s about recharging, relaxing, and showing your mind and body some love. If you’re ready to pamper yourself with the best self-care products out there, we’ve got you covered with a curated list that’ll elevate your relaxation game to the next level.

It's about glam time you treated yourself.

1. BENEFIT COSMETICS The POREfessional Deep Retreat

Best-Self-Care-Products-01

This pretty purple face mask isn’t just fun to use (that’s always a bonus!)—it’s also crazy effective at giving your skin a deep clean. It helps draw out the excess oil and dirt trapped in your pores, and the dots that appear as the mask dries are so satisfying. Don’t believe us? Just read all the reviews claiming smaller-looking pores and clearer skin!

2. PAUL MITCHELL Bond Rx Treatment

Best-Self-Care-Products-02

Hair in need of some TLC? We tried this rich, indulgent hair mask on our own strands, and it’s a game changer for chemically treated and damaged hair. In just five minutes, it works its magic in the shower, leaving our hair feeling smoother, softer, and healthier-looking.

3. BYROE Peach Kombucha Tea Purifying Clay Mask

Best-Self-Care-Products-03

We’re obsessed with everything this superfood-powered brand makes—and this purifying clay face mask is no different. It’s formulated with upcycled donut peaches, kombucha tea, fermented clay, and a blend of ceramides, probiotic extracts, and hyaluronic acid to help draw out impurities, absorb excess oil, improve the look of large pores, and leave your skin feeling so incredibly soft. 

4. FIRST AID BEAUTY Bronze + Glow Drops With Niacinamide

Best-Self-Care-Products-04

Looking glowy and bronzed is a nonnegotiable for us and these drops are our favorite way to achieve that coveted vibe. We love the instant radiant effect (no waiting on self-tanner!) and how effortless and fool-proof they are to apply. 

5. ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Original Cleansing Balm

Best-Self-Care-Products-05

Is there anything better than wiping off all your makeup at the end of the day? We don’t think so. This award-winning formula starts as a rich balm that melts into a silky oil, then transforms into a hydrating milk when water hits it. It effortlessly removes long-wear makeup, grime, and pollutants, while also doubling as a facial mask that deep-cleans and softens your skin.

6. LAUREN'S SKINCARE Brightening Skin Pads

Best-Self-Care-Products-06

We are such a sucker for a good exfoliating pad. We love how easy they are to use—just swipe across your skin and you’re done. These ones are made with salicylic acid, lactic acid, witch hazel, and lemon balm to help brighten, smooth, and even out your complexion. 

7 FRANK BODY Rosehip Body Scrub and Cleanser

Best-Self-Care-Products-07

This pink container might just be our favorite thing in our shower. Made with rosehip oil, coffee seed extract, and lavender oil, this scrub feels super luxe and helps us achieve that silky, glowing skin we’re always after. 

8. ALO YOGA SKINCARE Superfruit Body Lotion

Best-Self-Care-Products-08

You’ll never catch us without this lotion! Not only is it formulated with magnesium to help de-stress and melt away mind-body tension, it also goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly (that’s a must), and our favorite part? It leaves behind a bright, sunshiney citrus scent we’re totally obsessed with. 

9. 111SKIN Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Booster

Best-Self-Care-Products-09

This serum is like a refreshing gulp of water for your skin. Packed with hydrating heroes like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, it tackles dryness and dehydration with ease. We love applying it post-cleansing, so our skin feels soft, dewy, and oh-so-hydrated.

10. DEW OF THE GODS Amalfi Gold Hair Serum

Best-Self-Care-Products-10

You know a product is good when the reviews are all begging the brand to never stop making it. This best-selling hair oil is made with the highest quality olive and argan oils to give your strands a natural shine, deep texture, and protection from mechanical heat and the summer sun. Oh, and did we mention it smells heavenly?
