60 weird things that make your body look & feel so much better

After a long day on your feet, these single-use foot masks give you the soothing powers of an Epsom salt soak without actually having to draw a bath. Designed to work in 30 minutes, the self-heating booties are infused with Epsom salt to relieve sore, achy feet. At the same time, ingredients like shea butter and macadamia seed oil deliver moisturizing benefits, while essential oils like lavender and peppermint create a relaxing, spa-like experience.

This deodorant-like stick is a genius way to prevent the irritation that occurs from skin rubbing against skin, clothing, or other materials (aka chafing). Ideal for swiping over your toes, thighs, and along the shoulders where bra straps dig in, the anti-chafing stick works by forming a protective barrier over the skin using pomegranate seed extract, grapeseed oil, and ginger root extract.

Use this massage tool to help ease muscle aches without a trip to the spa. The four-point device was designed to comfortably fit in the palm of your hand, so that you can target hard-to-reach areas like the back and shoulders just as easily as the calves and thighs. Its smaller size means you can keep it in your gym bag, and you can use the massager on its own or with a pain-relieving cream for even better results.

Reducing muscle tension is as easy as lying back on this mat and watching your favorite 30-minute show. The acupressure mat is fitted with plastic “spikes” that help to increase blood circulation to aid with workout recovery and regular old relaxation. Amazon reviewers warn that the first couple of minutes are “very uncomfortable,” but more than 30,000 five-star ratings confirm that the relief it provides is worth powering through.

Formulated to promote better sleep and muscle relief, these colorful bath bombs are infused with a blend of herbs used in traditional Tibetan medicine.

Store these ice globes in your freezer, and whip them out when you’re dealing with facial puffiness or are simply in need of an energizing boost. The cryo sticks give you a cooling massage that helps to reduce swelling and redness in just a few minutes, leaving your skin with a temporary glow.

Salicylic acid is a go-to for treating acne, but spot treatments and cleansers aren’t the easiest to apply when it comes to breakouts on your back. This salicylic acid body spray lets you target the harder-to-reach area with a quick spritz that’s also convenient for preventing breakouts post-workout. In addition to salicylic acid, the alcohol- and fragrance-free spray includes soothing ingredients like niacinamide and hydrolyzed oat protein to prevent dryness and irritation.

Grounding may sound a little woo-woo, but if it’s a technique that you’re into (or have been wanting to try), this mat aims to connect you to the Earth without leaving your house. Designed to plug into an electrical outlet, the mat is then flooded with the Earth’s negative charge, helping with things like inflammation, sleep, and restoring balance, according to the brand. At the very least, the mat is still useful for practicing your breathwork, yoga, stretching, or other favorite relaxing exercise.

These individually packaged towelettes almost look like hand wipes, but each one is saturated in a self-tanner formula that gradually bronzes skin for several hours after applying. Designed to lightly exfoliate the skin for a streak-free finish, each towelette is enough to cover half of the body. Though the self-tanner goes on clear and dries in seconds so it won’t stain your clothes, it will leave your palms looking orange if you don’t wash them right after applying.

This after-shave oil smells like freshly glazed doughnuts, but it’s really just a sweet treat for your skin. A few drops of the oil on just-shaved skin are all you need to restore moisture and soothe irritation with its blend of jojoba seed oil, coconut oil, and passion fruit extract. Despite its rich formula, the after-shave oil is lightweight and fast-absorbing so you can go about your day without any sticky or greasy residue.

If you don’t like the residue that anti-chafing creams and powders leave behind, give these thigh bands a try. The adjustable bands can be placed exactly where you need them, and will remain completely invisible under dresses and skirts while they prevent irritation caused by skin rubbing. You also don’t have to worry about the bands sliding around, as each one is trimmed with silicone strips along the top and bottom to keep them in place.

You can control the heating pad temperature with the attached controller, and there’s an auto-off timer to prevent overuse.

To quickly target joint pain and muscle aches, apply a dollop of this soothing and moisturizing cream. Arnica extract is the hero ingredient in here, which is derived from a plant and has been used topically in homeopathic medicine to relieve muscle pain and inflammation for centuries. There’s no “freezing” feeling or menthol scent to the cream, though you should still check with your doctor if you plan to use it on a daily basis over a long period of time.

Exfoliate rough heels and replenish moisture with a single product. This foot lotion uses urea to break down dry skin and calluses while also drawing in more moisture.

Pro tip: put a pair of cotton socks on after applying the balm (either for a few hours or overnight) to really lock in the moisturizing ingredients.

Like foundation for your legs, this tinted lotion camouflages imperfections and (temporarily) creates a more even skin tone.

Specifically created for the legs, multiple Amazon reviewers share that they use the lotion as body makeup for their arms and chest, too.

But it also stimulates the lymphatic system and increases circulation to reduce puffiness and improve elasticity.

You’re probably already familiar with (and may even swear by) at-home LED light therapy masks for your face, body, and even scalp.

In fact, the red light is thought to improve rest by potentially encouraging melatonin production.

A few spritzes of this deodorant is enough to keep you smelling fresh for up to 72 hours. The aluminum-free formula can be used on the whole body (just avoid freshly shaved skin to minimize the risk of irritation), and it dries quickly without leaving behind a residue.

When period cramps strike, wrap this belt-like heating pad over your stomach to alleviate your pain. The clever, hands-free design has a massage mode to further help ease cramps, as well as an auto-off feature to prevent overuse. You can even spin the heating pad around to target your back, too.

A little patience and a strong stomach are required for these foot masks, but thousands of Amazon shoppers confirm that they really work to give you baby-soft feet.

Just be sure to give the solution two weeks to fully work before you break out the sandals.

You can use this silicone scalp massager on dry hair to help stimulate blood flow before your shower.
