I have used multiple degreaser sprays, and they don't work for me. The Magic Eraser was OK, but I used several at a time, and I had to scrub so hard. But this product, oh my goodness, is legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area, then wipe it off with a damp cloth, and voilà, magic!" —May Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

Promising review: "Absolutely the best product. It saved my itchy goldendoodle! We tried changing food, Benadryl, medicated shampoo, fish oil, everything you can imagine...nothing worked long-term. He was itching his face so badly he would make himself bleed. Had sores and scabs all over his face and neck. I bought these because they had good reviews, and I was desperate. It changed his life! He no longer scratches AT ALL! His coat looks great, and all of his sores are healed. He's the happiest he's been, which makes me a very happy momma. He is also very picky and never eats treats...he eats these every time, so that's an added bonus!" —Darcie NationGet 90 chews from Amazon for $29.67 (available in four flavors and 50- and 250-count).
A pack of Skin1004's Zombie masks that can deliver skin-tightening, fine line-reducing benefits at the small price of looking like an extra in The Walking Dead for 15 minutes. It'll just make that post-facial reveal that much more sweet!
The kit includes eight Zombie Pack sets (powder and activator) plus one applicator brush! Promising review: "When you put it on, the smell hits you hard. As it is on your face, the smell is not too bad, and the mask tingles as it dries. Wash it off and reveal clean, smooth skin. Plus fun to take pictures looking like a cracked mess." —raineGet a 16-pack from Amazon for $36.80.
A pack of Downy fabric spray so you can rock wrinkle-free fits even when there's no time (or energy) to break out the iron. Just spray, give your clothes a few swipes, and watch the wrinkles rapidly fall away.
I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.99.
A space-saving drawer organizer for actually finding the cutlery you need when you need it instead of rummaging through a pile of potentially painful pointy things.

Promising review: "I thought this would be handy and help with space management in a small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean and stores a lot in a very small space. I love it. I got two because I inherited my grandmother's silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things separate and organized. Two organizers fit side by side in a standard apartment drawer. After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it's just as handy and useful." —MagpieGet it from Amazon for $10.49+ (available in two sizes and two other styles).

Check out our full Puracy Natural Stain Remover review.Promising review: "This is by far the best stain remover I've used yet. I have a 1-year-old, and I've been treating his clothes since he started solids around six months. This stain remover has never failed me. It's even gotten crayon out of a Kyte sleep sack that was washed with a crayon. I treated it after I discovered it and let it sit for an hour then washed it and it all came out. It's my go-to baby shower gift for new moms and I love that its clean ingredients. Puracy, you have a forever customer!" —Hannah WeberGet it from Amazon for $13.99.
An affordable 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. This pen requires just ONE minute of daily use to get teeth that are four to eight shades whiter. The best part? No lingering sensitivity.
Promising review: "Love that this product does not leave sticky residue like other whitening products I've done in the past. Only been using for a few days but there is already noticeable results and brightening!" —SuzanaGet a three-pack from Amazon for $15.99.

After handling all that grossness, it's had no problem with day-to-day messes like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells delightful and comes in minimal, low-waste packaging!Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $15.95+ (available in two sizes).

This handy tool will do a better cleaning job than your fingers ever could, with a pointed end for picking out tangles and stiff bristles to remove all that built-up hair, dust, and fluff.
Promising review: "This is the tool I never knew I needed. It may seem like a silly thing to spend money on when you can clean your brush out by hand but this gets so much more out of the brush! It's easy and rather enjoyable. Who wants to brush their nice clean hair with a brush full of dirty, oily hair and dust. When you really think about it makes you want to throw out all your old brushes. I will be buying these as gifts for all my girlfriends." —emmalineGet it from Amazon for $11.95.
A box of waterproof medicated pads you apply like bandages to help force out the wart living rent-free under your skin.
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 days). Long story short, I got these medicated bandages and the results are incredibly satisfying. Used these bandages 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!" —JGet a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in two styles).
Dishwasher cleaning tablets because (to my shock and horror) you have to clean the thing that cleans your dishes, and these tablets make doing so as quick and easy as...well...running the dishwasher.

I dropped one tablet in the water, put it on a light wash cycle, and at the end of the cycle, the water was gone! It thoroughly cleans, and I have not had any other problems. I now use it regularly.

It's soooo smooth now and I'm super happy. It does say to use 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-size 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.

Promising review: "Works as advertised. Didn't realize how badly I needed these in my life! I have a media PC in my living room under my TV and directly across from the main couch. The LED is extremely bright and obnoxious, especially in low-light situations. One of these dimmed the LED the perfect amount, and I can definitely still see that the PC is on, but without the annoying blue beacon that can be seen from space. The variety of options included guarantee that you should have the correct size to dim whatever LEDs you have. Highly recommend." —IPman501Get one sheet from Amazon for $4.49.

I wish I could give it more stars. Just awesome!" —Carl OviedoGet it from Amazon for $14.99.

It is everything all in one and the oval shape makes it so easy to use. It gets really hot. It is a little loud on high, but I've found if my hair is already a little dry then I can just use it on low. I used a blow-dry primer spray to accelerate the drying time and protect my hair. I'm in love! The flat iron always flattens my hair and makes it look dry. This straightens and retains the volume and gives it a soft, nondamaged look." —SAHM2011Get it from Amazon for $32.45+ (available in two sizes and a mix of colors).Some reviewers with 4a–c curls like the barrel brush, but if you're looking for something to blow out tighter curls or coils, consider checking out the Revlon one-step paddle brush, which is designed with curlier hair in mind!

The 18 Best Body Products You Can Buy on Amazon Ahead of Prime Day
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Oh bodies, these meat slabs we call home. Sometimes, as I'm carefully buffering, soothing, moisturizing, and tenderly caring for my face, I look down at the rest of my skin and think it must be jealous. After all, the extend to which I treat my bodies to products is a quick scrub in the shower if I'm not lazy, and maybe lotion if it's a good day. My reason for neglecting the skin below my neck is that whenever I fall in love with a body product, I always hoard it, terrified of the day I will run out. After all, bodies require a higher volume of product than faces, which means that if you like to slather on a good amount of lotion–which is a necessity for my dry skin–it disappears alarmingly quickly. But then I realized one important thing: It's possible to buy basically every beloved body product online on Amazon, and have it delivered within the week. Plus, if I'm going to be doing some online shopping anyway, I might as well check out Amazon's other beauty products, too. If you don't already know, Amazon has a great selection of skincare, makeup, nail products, haircare, and more. And since Amazon Prime Day is coming up, on July 12th and 13th, now is the time to make your wishlist. Below, find solutions to dry skin, eczema, body acne, pale legs, and ingrown hairs–all on Amazon. If you desire some sunless tanning, throw this on wet skin in the shower and emerge with a glow like you're stepping off a private jet that just landed from the Bahamas. Have you heard of strawberry legs? Also known as Keratosis pilaris, this scrub uses physical and chemical exfoliation to get you back the smooth, even tone you've been looking for. If you're prone to irritating and uncomfortable ingrown hairs, you probably already know that Tend Skin is the only solution that's guaranteed to work. SheaMoisture is known for their top-notch hair products, but this body and hand scrub is just as lust-worthy. The scent is like a tropical vacation in a tub. No, you shouldn't eat it, but I would understand if you tried. This brown sugar scrub will make you feel alive for the first time in two years. Get some perkiness back with this peptide body serum that gives a subtle lift to your body. Layer it underneath a body lotion or on its own for some lightweight hydration. For the minimalist seeking next-level hydration, this pure shea butter is so intense, it needs to be scooped out with some elbow grease. Once it melts on your body, you'll be silky and moisturized for days. Days. Coconut is probably the best scent for an overall mindset shift. Skip the piña colada and instead opt for this moisturizing body wash that's smells so good you could eat it (but don't). Treat your body like your face. That is to say, gently. This body wash is great for sensitive skin that's prone to feeling dry and itchy. Oh bacne, that old foe. Proactiv is known for their pimple-healing product line so it's no surprise that their body wash is just as effective. Get a two-in-one with this hand and body wash. Throw it in the shower to rinse off your pits or on the sink for an everyday hand soap. Ugh, that horrible experience of looking down at your legs and seeing the scales appear like you're a lizard man. This lotion is infused with soothing oats for a bod you're comfortable in. Hydrated skin is all nice and good, but up the ante with some straight up glitter. Throw it on your legs and watch them shimmer like a mermaid's tale. For anyone suffering from eczema, you know the struggle to find effective and non-irritating products is real. Eucerin developed this body wash specifically for the most sensitive skin to be both healing and effectie. If you remove any hair from your nether regions, you know that ingrown hairs down there are incredibly uncomfortable. This oil soothes the skin, softens hair, and heals ingrowns. For all over radiance and hydration, this body oil is lightweight yet ideal for dry skin. Give your pale bod a boost with this self tanner that smells yummy–a game changer in the self tanning community–and looks natural. Say no to UV rays and yes to some at-home tan. After shaving or waxing below the belt, this soothing serum helps prevent ingrown hairs while also offering a nice cooling effect.

I'm a sunbed addict and I've got scary moles all over — but I can't stop tanning
A teenager admitted that she regrets becoming addicted to tanning beds — and is now warning others against following in her footsteps after a cancer scare. Megan Blain, 19, traded out fake-tan bottles for sunbeds so she could achieve a darker tan year-round, lying on the beds every day for two years and often staying under the UV lights for as long as half an hour. 6 Megan Blain admitted she regrets her addiction to tanning beds. Kennedy News and Media Advertisement She even injects herself with tanning shots five times a week before going to the tanning beds to get an even darker hue. 'I just liked how I looked with a tan. I'm a person that wears bright colors and liked how it made the colors pop,' she told Kennedy News and Media. Two years later, the student from Seaham, England, admitted that she feels 'addicted' to tanning and she never feels like she's dark enough. Advertisement On top of that, she had a bit of a cancer scare after she noticed a questionable patch on her skin recently — but that still hasn't made her stop. 'I've noticed a patch on my skin which keeps changing size. I've tried to go to the doctors, like, five times, but keep freezing at the door,' Blain said. She added in a video posted by Truly, 'I started noticing moles on my back, my hands – I've got moles all over, but you do get moles off the sunbed. I didn't know if the moles were cancerous.' 'I'm one of those people that will worry over anything, so for me not to be worried about potentially having melanoma I noticed a few months ago, and still abuse the sunbeds, has made me realize this is an addiction. Advertisement 'I just never think I'm dark enough.' Despite her saying that she worries over everything, the addiction to tanning overpowered her fear of cancer. 'It doesn't even faze me that I could have melanoma and could turn into something life-threatening, it doesn't scare me at all.' 6 Megan Blain noticed a questionable patch on her skin recently — but that still hasn't made her stop tanning. Kennedy News and Media Advertisement Blain admitted that before she started tanning, she didn't know much about it, and now she's gotten addicted — regardless of how physically sick it makes her. 'I didn't know much about sunbeds when I first started. So for the first year, I used to go on for half an hour at a time covered in baby oil. It made me feel really confident at first,' she said. 'I started seeing results and how good it made me look and started going on more often. Next thing I know I'm stuck in a cycle of abusing sunbeds and taking tanning injections which make me feel sick and sometimes unable to eat.' 6 Blain admitted that before she started tanning, she didn't know much about it, and now she's gotten addicted. Kennedy News and Media Now, Blain is finally starting to wean herself off of the tanning beds, going four times a week rather than every day — and she's sharing her journey on TikTok to warn others not to make the same mistakes she did. 'After two years, my views on sunbeds have changed. If I could go back in time, I would've never started,' she shared. 'I just feel like I have to go on the sunbeds — it's not even a case of wanting to be tanned anymore.' 'The younger generation seem to be using [sunbeds] more than the older generation which is concerning because If I got addicted without even realizing it then the same could happen to other people.' 6 Megan Blain was using tanning beds daily. Kennedy News and Media Advertisement Blain shared that she wants to stop using tanning beds 'one day' — but she can't imagine herself not going. 'I find it hard to turn the sunbed off once I'm on. I don't even like going on sunbeds, I dread it, but I feel like I physically have to go on,' she said. 'I wouldn't recommend anyone to do this. You could end up addicted without even realizing like me.' In the Truly video, Blain shared that she sometimes cries after using the tanning bed because of all the damage it's doing, but she believes she is 'too far gone.' Advertisement 6 'If I could go back in time, I would've never started,' she shared. Kennedy News and Media The tanning addict has gotten looks from strangers on the street, as well as internet trolls who have labeled her a 'burnt chip.' 'Everywhere I go, I see people staring at me,' she said. 'When people say I'm dark, I actually find that hard to believe. I don't feel dark whatsoever — it's like I'm physically blind.' One internet user compared Blain's skin color to 'the chips that fell off the tray in the oven and I forgot about.' Advertisement 'Did [the sunbeds] cremate you?' another said. 6 Blain is finally starting to wean herself off of the tanning beds, going four times a week rather than every day. Kennedy News and Media Blain admitted that her family also said she's too dark, and she does care about what people online think. 'I've received hate through TikTok. I thought the video that went viral looked nice at the time and wondered why I received so much hate, but now I realize why and that the video actually didn't look nice at all.' Advertisement However, amid all the hate, Blain received some nice comments as well, encouraging her on her journey to let go of the addiction. 'You're beautiful either way don't let anyone tell you any different,' one said. 'You're gorgeous in every way possible. Don't let anyone tell you different. So proud of you,' another added.

The Best Sunscreens of Summer 2025 Are All on Amazon—And Some Are on Sale for Prime Day
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Rain or shine, winter or summer—no matter what, sunscreen is one of the most important parts of any beauty routine. 'Sunscreen is your first line of protection against UV light exposure from the sun,' says Dr. Joshua Zeichner, MD, a dermatologist in New York City. 'While sunscreen is of course important over the summer, what you may not realize is that even low grade exposures during the year add up over a lifetime.' That's why any dermatologist you talk to will recommend you wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every single day. Luckily, many of the best sunscreens on the market are available on Amazon. This year, Amazon Prime Day is running July 8 through 11, and it's filled with can't-miss deals, including discounts on skin-saving sunscreen. Prime Day is the perfect time to stock up on the beauty routine essential. Below, find editor-favorite picks for the best sunscreens to shop during prime day. If high SPF protection is what you're after, Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch sunscreen has SPF 70. The fragrance-free formula is sheer and sinks into skin instantly, leaving a matte, traceless finish that feels like absolutely nothing on the skin, but is still highly protective. Key ingredient: Helioplex Size: 3 fl. oz. Amazon rating: 4.5/5 An Amazon reviewer says: 'I am incredibly pale, and wear sunscreen on the daily. I love this sunscreen for a few reasons. It dries incredibly quickly and does not leave a greasy film all over my body. I reapply three times a day and never feel as if I am caking on lotion. I use it everywhere except my face. I spend a lot of time outside and this really helps protect the back of my neck and ears from being burned.' This sunscreen is made with skin-nourishing ingredients in mind The formula is made with safflower oleosomes, which are super-emollient, helping optimize sun protection and adding moisture to skin. Key ingredients: Safflower oleosomes, antioxidant complexSize: 5 fl. rating: 4.7/5An ELLE editor says: 'I'm very fair, so in the summer, my body care routine also includes sunscreen all-over. Body sunscreens can be really tricky, since they often smell too sunscreen-y or feel too tacky on the skin. This one goes on like a body lotion and disappears completely into skin, which makes it an easy sunscreen to add into my routine.'—Katie Berohn, beauty editor Isdin's innovative sunscreen formula does more than just protect your skin from the sun. It also helps repair previous sun damage, thanks to DNA repairing ingredients—like photolyase, an enzyme derived from plankton, which works to mend invisible sun ingredients: Photolyase, vitamin ESize: 1.7 fl. rating: 4.6/5An Amazon reviewer says: 'It's a lightweight mineral lotion that goes on white but quickly absorbs and gives my skin a natural, supple, not greasy appearance.'
