1. A moisturizing saline gel for folks who suffer frequent nosebleeds and restoring some desperately needed moisture to your dry, irritated nasal biome. If you use a CPAP machine or get dried out on long-haul flights, I'd add this to cart STAT. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Allergies were driving me wild, so I decided to try this. It stings a little when your nose is as dry and cracked as mine was, but it helped immensely. Bought two, so I can stash one in my office for emergencies!" —afraydknot

Get it from Amazon for $3.62 (also available in two-packs). 

2. A bottle of wine drops if your before-bed glass of wine too often ends in a pounding headache. A few drops added to your glass work to naturally reduce sulfites and tannins in wine — the frequent culprits of "but I only had one glass" headaches.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Like others, I have had morning headaches after even just one glass of wine. I saw this on Amazon, and all of the reviews were favorable and had lots of detail on how well this product worked. I decided to give it a try, and YES! It does work!!! I personally did not detect a change in the taste profile of the wine, and neither could my sister, who also tried it one evening. I use three drops for both red and white. For the price, I would say give it a try because I am so happy that I can now enjoy a glass or two and not worry about the onslaught of an allergic reaction!" —Vellichor

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available as beer drops).

3. A seemingly magical nail strengthening cream to end needless decisions between eye-popping manicure prices or sporting short, brittle nails that are constantly chipping. Fortunately, there's a third option! This non-greasy formula is packed with calcium, moisturizing oils, and vitamins to strengthen nails and condition cuticles. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My nails were in bad shape before I started using this product. I had one nail that would constantly split on the side, but not anymore. I saw the difference right away after using this product. The smell is great; it is a good moisturizer for your cuticles and contains wonderful ingredients. I definitely recommend it, and I will be purchasing another really soon." —Tasha Stewart

Get it from Amazon for $8.88 (available in coconut and unscented).

4. A vegan exfoliating body scrub for anyone who struggles with persistent KP. This buffs away bumps by combining the benefits of a chemical peel and microdermabrasion into one gentle, at-home treatment. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: So I have keratosis pilaris or goose-like bumps on my bum and have always been super self-conscious about it. I’ve used this product five to eight times, and they are seriously like GONE. It’s soooo smooth now, and I’m super happy. It does say to use it once a week, but I’ve just been using it every time I shower (which is almost every day, lol). I only use a dime-sized amount, and it’s able to cover my bum and some of my legs. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who also has pesky bumps on their body. Also, this product has no scent, which is a plus for anyone who has sensitive skin!!" —Ang M

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in four sizes). 

5. A pair of reusable anti-nausea bands that may help soothe churning stomachs caused by long car rides and cruises without copious amounts of Dramamine. 

www.amazon.com

For more info on how to use acupressure for nausea management, check out this guide from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. 

Promising review: "I have always suffered from motion sickness. My whole life, I have hated long car rides, even short car rides. As soon as I get in the car and buckle in, I already feel the nausea. I bought these for a 16-hour road trip, and they worked 100%. I felt perfectly comfortable the whole way through. I could even watch movies and text on my phone and feel alright. My two daughters suffer from the same thing (ages 1 and 3) to the point where they can't keep any food down. The kid's bandsworked for them 100% of the time, too. 10/10 recommend. I'll be buying more for sure." —Veronica 

Get a pair from Amazon for $7.95+ (available in six colors).

6. A stick of nongreasy Gold Bond anti-friction stick for preventing sweat-induced thigh chafing and all the painful irritation that comes with it. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I just used it for five days in 90-degree-plus weather at Bonnaroo music festival in the middle of Tennessee on a farm in June with 100,000 people walking several miles, dancing, and sweating every day. I am happy to report that this product is a lifesaver. My thighs didn't chafe once, and I have big ones! I had to reapply once during the day. I strongly recommend buying this if you have large thighs and need relief from chafing. I couldn't wear dresses or skirts in the heat if I was walking anywhere, and now I live in them because of this stuff! Buy it! It works!" —Isaac

Get it from Amazon for $6.26.

7. A rechargeable heated eye massager if you need an extra tool in your toolkit to help combat headaches, eye strain, puffy under-eyes, and insomnia.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos, and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top-notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse, and this technology has helped me get through the night easily. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $52.48+ (available in 10 colors). 

8. A box of waterproof medicated pads you apply like bandages to finally force out the wart living rent-free under your skin.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I had a stubborn wart on my right thumb that has been there for almost a year. Went to the doctor the first time to freeze it, but it didn't completely remove the wart so I decided to try the gel. The gel helped but not for too long and the wart came back (in a couple of days). Long story short, I got these medicated Band-Aids and the results are incredibly satisfying. Used these Band-Aids every day for a week and the next week, my wart is gone. So far, it's been a week after and I haven't noticed any growth. Highly recommend!" —J

Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in two styles).

9. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen because traditional strips are tough to use, expensive, and can leave you with teeth sensitivity that is, in my professional opinion, NO fun. With this pen you can get quick results. And the best part? No lingering sensitivity. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim when I saw someone review it on TikTok. After using it several times over the course of a week, I immediately noticed the difference in the color of my teeth. I'm a smoker and a heavy coffee drinker. I'm finding that this product will be a lifesaver in terms of what my smile looks like. I would definitely recommend!!" —Mully

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.95.

10. A pair of compression gloves that may help relieve some muscle and joint pain caused by arthritis, tendonitis, carpal tunnel, and similar conditions, so you can type that novel or crochet that scarf without all the ouchies.

www.amazon.com

Read more about compression gloves and other strategies to help relieve hand pain at Mayo Clinic. 

Promising review: "As a professional tennis racquet stringer, I often work for 8 to 10 hours straight at the stringing machine. At 58 years old and having done this work for many years, I have developed arthritis in my hands. I’ve worn out many pairs of gloves similar to these. Most are cheaply made and tear apart at the seams in days. ComfyBrace gloves are the best quality I have found. They provide the relief I need, they’re comfortable, and they last longer than the other brands I’ve tried. With these gloves, I’m able to continue working a trade that I love. Thank you, ComfyBrace! Try these, and you will not regret it!" —M. McDonald

Get them from Amazon for $9.97 (available in sizes S–XL). 

11. A volcanic stone face roller so you can soak up excess face oil, even if you have makeup on! Unlike blotting papers, this roller is able to be washed and reused, reducing waste and saving you $$$.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Amazing! I have very oily skin and I’m always shiny. I hate those blotting papers; this is so much better! I roll it all over my face several times a day and in seconds my skin is matte again. Also, it’s like a nice little face massage when I do it. It is super easy to take apart to clean, and after using hot water and my facial cleanser it is dry pretty quick, though I usually just let it sit out overnight. Highly recommend!! I’m going to buy more so I can leave them all over — purse, diaper bag, bathroom, car!" —Brooke Burns

Get it from Amazon for $7.75.

12. A set of self-heating foot masks to help bring some relief after long shifts or nights out with your deadliest shoes. Just pop on the included booties and enjoy the tingly sensation of Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint. 

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

Get a closer look on TikTok! 

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has these in her self-care toolkit: 

"I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!"

Promising review: "Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" —KS2018

Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97. 

13. A tonsil stone remover for potentially treating the root cause of chronic bad breath. The tool has a built-in LED light for easily finding and extracting the stone, while the included syringe makes cleaning out the pocket left behind quick and easy.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

If you suspect you have tonsil stones (also called tonsilloliths), talk to your dentist or doctor so they can preform a physical exam or imaging scan and deliver a diagnosis.

Promising review: "I'm in my early 30s and just started getting tonsil stones. Until a few months ago, I never even knew what these things were! Anyways, I've been struggling with cotton buds to fully remove the stones, but couldn't get rid of them and they would just come back within the week. I received this and OMFG...best investment ever. No struggle holding my phone as a flashlight while awkwardly poking myself in front of my badly lit bathroom mirror. I sat comfortably at my vanity, used one hand, and removed the whole stone in less than a minute. Why did I not know this was a thing? Why have I been struggling? Get it! Stop struggling, suffering, and awkwardly dealing with this ridiculous condition...trust me." —Wren

Get it from Amazon for $8.94+ (available in two colors and in a multipack).

Promising review: "I could tell these mitts were going to be exactly what I needed right out of the box. Excellent quality and easy to use! I’ve tried them twice already, and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I’ll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" —Danielle

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I recently was diagnosed with a few things that require me to take daily medications, at different times during the day. I work 24-hour shifts and travel a lot and this has made it easy to take my medications with me instead of all the bottles. Fits perfectly in my purse! I love how secure each compartment is; efficiently stores the medications. Some reviews said it was hard to open each compartment, but I haven’t had much trouble." —Sarah

Promising review: "Took me a little while to figure out the right angle to use this effectively but once I did it worked like a charm. I’ve used it for shaping eyebrows and managing the little bit of blonde peach fuzz I have on my upper lip. I haven’t tried it anywhere else but no bad reactions or pain, and relatively easy to maneuver with a bit of practice." —Kelly G.

18. A set of pant waist extenders that'll reunite you and your favorite pair of too-snug pants. With these, your jeans and trousers can gain up to 2 inches so weight gain, a medical procedure, or early pregnancy doesn't mean saying goodbye to your go-to styles.

The set includes five fabric pants button extenders, five fabric hook-and-eye extenders, and three denim jeans waist extenders in a variety of colors.

Promising review: "Why didn't I get these sooner? These work perfectly! You have all of those pants that used to fit great, until a few years ago — you know, the ones in the back of your closet that you will wear again 'as soon as you lose a few pounds.' These extenders look simple enough but you think that they won't work or will show. The good news is, they never show once you put your belt on and, in my case, I've now got five pairs of chinos, three pairs of dress wool pants, and three pair of jeans now back into my rotation! Buy these!" —JCI

I roll on temples, by ears, above eyebrows, below cheekbones, back of the neck, and base of the skull. I use this anytime I need it. No offensive odor. Better than any medications that are prescribed or OTC. Very good with sinus congestion also." —c.b.

Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist.

My hair has never been healthier." —Moo Moo

Promising review: "I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo as recommended by my doctor. It doesn’t make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After I used the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I’m not a fan of the way it smells, but others love it when they smell my hair." —Diane J. Huff

Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so I thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazingly! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard; those tiny bristles really get in there, and if you push too hard, you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —AN

I was afraid that nothing would help, having read on the internet so many stories of people living with the pain, but I decided to give these a try based on good reviews and the low cost. Needless to say, it was a good decision. The copper compression bands are easy to put on and should fit almost any foot size, being stretchy. I have been using mine for about a month with no discernible breakdown in the elastic. I wear them all day under my socks and take them off to air out at night. This works for me, and I haven't had any foot pain in the night as I was having before using the compression bands." —Mark Mumma

Promising review: "I cannot live without this spray! I have had bad sinuses since I was a kid. My boss recommended Xlear to me, and I have been a believer ever since. It actually burns sometimes when you spray it in your nostrils, but that is due to the Xylitol. After a few minutes, your nose starts to run and then the nasal passages are clear. Don't just try it once and say it doesn't work...use it as directed...it DOES work. At 53 years old with sinus challenges all my life, I am living proof!
