If Your Hair, Skin, And Nails Revolt When The Seasons Change, You Need These 28 Products
Your brain is jazzed for spring's arrival, but your body needs a little extra help getting on board it seems.
1. A TikTok-beloved Bio-Collagen Real Deep mask that works the night shift so you can wake up to skin that's next-level bouncy and glowy. The mask turns transparent as its absorbed into the skin, and loads of reviewers mention visible results after just one treatment.
Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week.
Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it's pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny, like I just came out of a professional facial. It's an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don't mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" — Nala
Get a set of four from Amazon for $19.
2. A silicone-free L'Oréal moisturizing treatment for anyone who wants visibly healthier-looking hair FAST — like, eight seconds fast. This rinse-out formula works on any hair texture or length, delivering the proteins and amino acids necessary for a shiny, flippable mane.
www.amazon.com
This is silicone- and paraben-free!
Promising review:"OMG!!! Most amazing hair treatment I've ever used in my entire life. Most hair masks weigh my hair down, but since this is water, it makes it SO soft and bouncy. I'm obsessed and will keep buying. Holy grail." — Natasha
Get it from Amazon for $10.97.
3. E.l.f.'s sheer tint "Squeeze Me" lip balm infused with moisturizing hyaluronic acid because a little birdie told me it's a mega-affordable alternative for the viral Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm butter balm. No pouting over prices with this pocket-size formula around to keep those smackers hydrated.
You can count BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord among this balm's many fans:
"I love love love this lip balm. I compare it to the $24 version from Summer Fridays, which I've been splurging on — I love that brand because it lasts so long and is so high quality, but this $4 E.l.f. version feels comparable and, more excitingly, comes in smaller versions so I can stock my totes and bathroom with them whether I'm at home or on the go. It's hydrating, lightweight, doesn't get sticky, and adds a perfect ~subtle~ gloss whether I'm using it alone or on top of a lip color. I love the vanilla flavor so much, it's got a similar vibe to the birthday cake flavor that Glossier sometimes carries."
Get it from Amazon for $4 (available in five flavors).
4. A coconut-scented nail strengthening cream if you hate deciding 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.
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, good moisturizer for your cuticles, and wonderful ingredients. I definitely recommend it, and I will be purchasing another really soon." — Tasha Stewart
Get it from Amazon for $8.88.
5. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel so you can quickly get your feet ready to be seen by removing years' (I repeat, YEARS') worth of hard calluses without endless scraping and scrubbing. Time to schedule a date with your strappiest sandals!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.
Promising review:"I have the driest heels, and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks, and now they're almost baby-soft again. BUT please follow the directions. I left it on my super-dry, thick-callused heels for only three minutes, and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." — Kiki
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three scents).
6. A Laneige Neo Blurring Powder compact that pulls off the impossible — eliminating oily shine without sacrificing the lit-from-within glow you and your skincare routine have fought so hard for.
Amazon, www.amazon.com

Try them now! Such a buy compared to $89 Blissy brand, plus you get two! Highly recommended! No, my head doesn't slip as some said and the case stays put! Do it!" — Sherry

www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Out of the hundreds of products I've bought, I've written maybe five reviews. Most of those were bad reviews. 😅 THIS review is like the 10 gold stars of reviews. I LOVE THIS EYE CREAM! I have a pretty nasty bag under only one of my eyes. Within four days, that bag is GONE! I don't know how, but it is. The area around my eyes is softer than it's ever been. Even makeup looks amazing now. It no longer settles in those pesky fine lines. I wish I could find a cream that made my entire face this soft. I microneedle, I've done TCA peels, I'm obsessed with Korean skincare, but NOTHING has ever given me such results as this eye cream. The area around my eyes feels like silk. BUY THIS EYE CREAM! You won't be disappointed." — Emily Hunter

Promising review:"So this product is completely worth the money. The quality is amazing. I didn't notice any smell after a few seconds of using it. My skin was smooth and bright but not sticky. It works like magic. I have sensitive skin, so I can't use this product too close to my nose, but in the rest, it's amazing!" — Isabela L
Get a pack of 70 from Amazon for $17.90 (available in three other styles).
10. A shea butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion if you're still on the hunt for a moisturizer that's hydrating, lightweight, and soothing. Allow me to introduce you to this delicious-smelling formula at a price that's just * chef's kiss.*

14. A bottle of Super Serum Body Wash because Olay went and turned one of their beloved face serums into a hydrating body wash that's packed with niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides that your dry, dull skin will drink right up.
Promising review:"I recently tried the Olay Super Serum Body Wash, and I am absolutely in love with it! The formula is incredibly hydrating, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use. It lathers beautifully and has a lovely, light fragrance that isn't overpowering. After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized. The addition of serums in the body wash is a game changer. My skin feels nourished, and I no longer need to apply lotion right after showering. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a luxurious, skin-loving body wash!" — Darina
Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (also available in two other styles).
15. An oil-free La Roche-Posay daily face moisturizer to seal in hydration with a fragrance-free formula that does more than just moisturize with ceramides and niacinamide to help repair the skin barrier. And you can get it with SPF 30, since I know you're itching for more sunshine time.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I am not usually one to buy products that aren't stupid expensive for my skin because I have had so many problems with acne and dryness and sensitivity that I don't mind the splurge. But, lost my job during COVID and had to find affordable alternatives, and this was one of them. I'm pleasantly so happy with this item; I feel like I've been missing out. I love all the ingredients in this and am hoping they never stop making this exact product except to improve it even more. The niacinamide must have cleared up my skin because this stuff works like magic for daily use, and the barrier-building compounds in this actually work. My skin looks and feels healthier." — Pavel
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available with or without SPF 30).
16. A Cantu curling cream if you're in a constant battle against thirsty locks and relentless frizz. Look no further than this reviewer-beloved blend of pure shea butter, coconut oil, and seven other essential oils for happy, hydrated curls that POP.

Promising review:"You have to try it! I've been looking for something like this for a long time! I put it in my hair while it's still wet and go to bed with it in. In the morning, I don't have to touch my hair… It's already perfect as is! Wow!" — Amazon Customer
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.49.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I've used this specific brand for years now and have found them to be the best at reducing the size and redness of breakouts! Whenever I notice a zit popping up, I put one of these on right before bed, and it stays put all night, even when I toss and turn a lot. By morning, it's much less noticeable and practically nonexistent when I cover the zit with makeup. It's such a great practically zero-effort way to treat blemishes!" — Ciera Velarde
And check out BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis 's full Mighty Patch review for more info!
Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $12.99.
18. Plus, a pack of nose pore patches for making your skincare dreams a reality by expunging gunk and excess oil from your nose while you sleep. The hardest part will be resisting the urge to touch your post-treatment skin now that it's as smooth as a baby seal.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"It had to be said. These things are disgusting, that's why you should buy them. Squeeze part of your nose skin. Do a bunch of little pustules come out? Yeah, if you put one of these puppies on at night, you wake up, and that is all trapped inside that weird film. I dunno how it works. It's probably sorcery." — Jack Sawyer
Get a seven-pack from Amazon for $9.98.
19. An anti-bacterial butt acne-clearing lotion made with tea tree oil that'll finally give your sweaty booty the same blemish-busting TLC you treat your face to.

Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Cleveland Clinic.
Apply this gentle treatment 3–4 times a day or 4–6 times if the situation is more serious.
Promising review:"This product is gentle on the skin, but strong enough to combat any buttock issues caused by stress, environmental issues, or whatever. Living in the Deep South, we sometimes have a condition called 'swamp butt.' Little red bumps like a rash or breakout can form in sensitive areas. Using this product once a day after showering...I've had ZERO bumps in over three months. It works. Doesn't smell the greatest, but it's tolerable, for sure. Great product." — Billie B
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
20. A pack of cult-favorite Clean Skin Club Clean Towels because bacteria on your terry towels and washcloths (even freshly clean ones) could be the sneaky culprit behind your breakouts. This disposable alternative is absorbent enough to dry your hands and face but can also be used wet when paired with your favorite makeup remover or cleanser. One towel with endless possibilities!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Clean Skin Club is a US-based small business specializing in hygienic, vegan, and cruelty-free skincare products.
Promising review:"I absolutely love these. I saw these on TikTok and bought them. I will be buying more. They are great for my face. Really soft and VERY durable and strong, even when wet. You can wash your face [with it] or just dry your face, either way, it's the best option." — Sahara
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in two sizes).
21. A volcanic stone face roller to instantly 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 $$$.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I've been using this product for a couple of months now, and it is still working beautifully. I used to run through blotting papers like mad, but this roller has saved my wallet. I'm pretty oily, and still can use the roller maybe 20–25 times without washing it at all. LOVE!" — eden
Get it from Amazon for $9.96.
22. This Korean exfoliating mitt if you want on-demand smooth skin. It also helps if you love the delightful disgust that comes with seeing dead skin slough away right before your eyes.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three styles).
23. A trio of hydrating Care:nel lip sleeping masks so you can wake up every morning to a luscious pout, something your post-winter chapped lips will extra appreciate. If Laneige has infiltrated your feed, know these cuties are a budget-friendly swap.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: " This is the most moisturizing lip treatment on the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season, I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it's soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." — Riya
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $9.90 (available in five combos).
24. A rosemary mint hair-strengthening oil that'll treat your 'do to a rich blend of 30 essential oils and biotin. This lightweight scalp treatment may help nourish split ends and hair follicles, leading to sleeker styles and reduced breakage. Plus, reviewers say it smells DIVINE — an unnecessary but appreciated bonus.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: " I started using this oil on my hair after watching TikToks about it. They did not lie. This product works great! I have been using it for about a month now, and I have nothing but good things to say. I like to lather it on my scalp and let it sit for a couple of hours before showering. This helps your hair to produce those natural oils, which makes your hair grow healthier. It has made my hair grow faster and stronger." — Alexis Jacobus
Get it from Amazon for $9.34.
25. A hydrating snail mucin repairing essence for soothing *all* skin types (reviewers love how gentle it is) with the potential to help heal acne scars, fade dark spots, and smooth fine lines...all for less than the price of a Doordash order.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"My skin dries out severely during the winter, and I have to constantly use Vaseline to keep it moisturized (normal cream doesn't work on me). Imagine my surprise when my SO tried to put snail goo on me. Eww!! I resisted for weeks refusing to use this product as she constantly vouched for its abilities. After a month, I finally gave in, and boy, it was amazing! My hands feel more moisturized than ever for longer, and it doesn't leave a disgusting, greasy feel like Vaseline. Take it from a once-nonbeliever: You have to try this. Even if it doesn't work for you, you paid a fraction of what you would've paid for any other name-brand moisturizers." — Kyoko Ozaki
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
26. A silky-smooth Beauty of Joseon serum if you've got major glow goals to achieve. Formulated with niacinamide and propolis — a skin-smoothing power couple — this formula is designed to help maintain clearer skin, brighten dark spots, and give you a dewy glow with deep hydration.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"From the moment I started using this serum, I saw results! The combination of propolis and niacinamide in this serum is a winning formula. My complexion has never looked this radiant and healthy. It effectively addresses dark spots and hyperpigmentation, visibly reducing their appearance. What makes this serum even more remarkable is its lightweight and fast-absorbing texture. It feels like silk on my skin and leaves no greasy residue. I can apply it seamlessly without worrying about disrupting my makeup or other skincare products. The hydrating properties of this serum are a game-changer. My skin feels intensely nourished and plump, minimizing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. The only downside is the price. I think it's a bit expensive for the amount of product you get. However, it's so good that I'll still leave it at 8/5 stars!" — Yuna Lee
Get it from Amazon for $16.33.
27. A two-ingredient Briotech spray reviewers have used to soothe inflammation of all kinds, from angry piercings and acne to stubborn rashes and rosacea. It uses hypochlorous acid, an ingredient found naturally in our white blood cells, similar to the much pricier Tower 28 spray.
Note: This product has newer packaging that you might receive instead of the older bottle shown above!
Promising reviews: "I've been using this hypochlorous acid spray morning, night, and after the gym, and I'm honestly amazed by the results! Since I started using it, I haven't had any breakouts, and my skin feels so much clearer and calmer. It's gentle but effective, and I love how refreshing it feels. It's also great for post-workout, keeping my skin clean and refreshed after sweating. This has definitely become a staple in my skincare routine, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skin's clarity and health!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four sizes).
28. A vegan exfoliating body scrub for anyone who struggles with persistent KP that tends to flare up when the seasons change. This buffs away bumps by combining the benefits of a chemical peel and microdermabrasion into one gentle, at-home treatment.
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 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. Also, this product has no scent, which is a plus for anyone who has sensitive skin!!" — Ang M
Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in four sizes).

Have rock-hard abs and less than 20% body fat? It's a cycle of trying to find peace, then logging into social media and seeing everyone looking perfect. Ladies, it's time to share your opinon: What are the most frustrating parts of today's beauty standards? Is it the pressure to get Botox and fillers?

'Relieved my neck pain': Shoppers 60+ love this bestselling cervical pillow — just $39
Fans credit this contoured head cushion for giving them a much comfier slumber: 'Sleeping on my back is no longer an issue.' In a perfect world, drifting off and staying asleep for hours would be a simple nightly ritual. But anyone with neck pain knows it's not that easy. Proper alignment is tricky when you're out cold — and waking at 3 a.m. with an aching neck is a sure way to miss out on those full eight hours. That's why special headrests like the No. 1 bestselling Cozyplayer Cooling Cervical Pillow exist. It was designed to support your noggin while keeping your neck's natural curve intact — and the fact that it's currently on sale at Amazon makes it anything but a snoozefest. Why is it a good deal? 💰 While this isn't the absolute lowest the pillow has hit, you can't put a price on getting a good night's sleep. That said, we'll take the $20 discount! Similar pillows can set you back $60 or more, plus this one has thousands of fans to back it up. Why do I need this? 🤔 What sets the Cozyplayer Cooling Cervical Pillow apart from your standard sleep cushion? For starters, its contoured design features a concave space to place your head, and it's ever so slightly tilted — 15 degrees — to keep your neck in position and aligned with your spine. This helps alleviate pressure, which in turn can combat pain and stiffness. According to Mather Hospital's David J. BenEliyahu, DC, "If you suffer with neck pain, especially after you wake up in the morning, you should consider using a special cervical or neck pillow. Sleeping with a cervical pillow can improve your neck posture, thus supporting tight muscles in your neck and shoulders. It also reduces the mechanical stress on the neck joints by keeping your neck in proper alignment." What should you look for in a pillow? Dr. BenEliyahu says, "The pillow must be flexible and be able to accommodate your head and support your neck. Looking from the side, your neck should be in alignment with your spine and parallel to the mattress. If you sleep on your back, you want your pillow to have enough give to let your head sink down and then support the neck." With that in mind, you can adjust the height of the Cozyplayer pillow by using or removing the memory foam insert at its base. Because its core is made up of 98% memory foam, it strikes just the right balance between comfortable and supportive — and if you sleep hot? You'll appreciate its Q-Max 0.4 Arc-Chill cooling pillowcase, which makes the pillow more breathable. What reviewers say 💬 More than 4,000 snoozers felt this pillow was worthy of a five-star rating. Pros 👍 "I am 69 years old and suffer from both cervical and lumbar osteoarthritis," shared one shopper. "To complicate life a bit more, I have never been able to sleep on my back or even in just one position. Most mornings, I would wake sore and stiff. Since receiving [this] pillow, my old pillow has been re-tasked with elevating my knees, and sleeping on my back is no longer an issue; in fact, the only things that disturb my sleep are my cats and my dog." "I've been using this pillow for over six months now, and my neck and shoulder pain is gone," wrote another. "I used to wake up with a stiff neck and [a] burning feeling that extended from my neck to my shoulder in the trapezius muscle. I'm quite happy with this pillow. Not only has it relieved my neck pain, it's very comfortable in most sleeping positions. I tend to move around a lot at night." "Best pillow for neck support ever!" exclaimed a third. "I have spent so much money trying to find a pillow to help me sleep better. I suffer from arthritis and RA. I have constant neck and shoulder pain. Sleeping was horrible. This pillow has been a life changer. And help keeps my neck secure." Cons 👎 "I have noticed an improvement in my neck pain since using this pillow. I'm also a hot sleeper and it's definitely helped with that too," began one reviewer. "If I had a negative, it would be that your neck has to be in the center; if you are somewhat off-center, there is some discomfort." "I've been using this for a couple of nights, and I definitely can say that I haven't experienced any neck pain and my sweating seems to have lessened," wrote a final fan. "My only complaint is that the pillow feels too low and flat for me. I actually place it on top of another pillow for more height, but I know that the manufacturer offers an extra foam insert, so I may reach out to them." (This is correct, you can contact the brand if it feels too low.) And for the rest of your body... If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

The medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Mask is on a rare Amazon sale
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. I've lost count of how many Korean skincare brands I've tested over the years. From cult classics to niche launches that barely make it beyond the Seoul underground, I've tried everything: ampoules, essences, toners, serums — you name it, I've put it on my face. Of all the brands I've reviewed, medicube has been one of the few I keep coming back to. So when I saw its Salmon DNA PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask (four of them!) for less than $20 on Amazon, I didn't hesitate. At first, I thought it was a listing error. This mask is sold in a four-pack, which means each treatment comes out to under $5. That's practically unheard of for something packed with PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) and low-molecular-weight collagen: two powerhouse ingredients usually reserved for spa-level treatments or professional skincare lines. But no, the price was real, and naturally, I added it to my cart instantly. Advertisement Amazon I already had high expectations. I've reviewed nearly everything medicube has released — from its Zero Pore Pads to the Deep Vita C Capsule Cream — and I know the brand doesn't mess around when it comes to formulation. But even then, I wasn't expecting this mask to be this good. The texture alone made me pause. It's not your standard paper-thin sheet mask. This is a jelly gel mask that's cool to the touch, slightly plush and absolutely saturated in a thick, milky serum. It clings to the face just enough to stay put, but it's still best used while lying down. What caught me by surprise was how the color began to shift. The mask starts out an opaque pink but fades to almost clear as the ingredients absorb. I didn't even know I wanted a visual cue like that, but it was oddly satisfying to see it work in real time. And, once I took it off, my skin looked smoother, calmer and noticeably more hydrated. That post-mask glow wasn't just a trick of the light, and I was impressed. I could feel the difference the next morning, too. My skin felt firmer and bouncier, like I'd gotten a solid eight hours of sleep (I hadn't). It reminded me of the feeling I get after using medicube's Collagen Jelly Cream ($20), which I've raved about before. But this mask felt even more potent, a little more concentrated and certainly more luxurious. I know marketing claims can be hit or miss, but medicube actually backs theirs its numbers. Its internal tests reported over 79% immediate hydration improvement, with skin maintaining nearly 40% more moisture after 24 hours. The brand even measured improvements in fine lines, elasticity and skin texture. While I can't speak to the lab data personally, I can say my own results lined up, especially around my eyes and forehead, where I usually see the first signs of dullness when I'm tired or dehydrated. The Final Verdict While I love a good skin 'treat' (naturally), this mask has become more than that for me. It has become a regular part of my regular routine, especially on days when my skin is tired, dry or just feeling a little dull. It delivers real results, and it feels good while doing it. If you're deep into Korean skincare like I am — or even just starting out and want something that performs like a high-end product without the high-end price tag — this mask is a smart bet. For less than $5 per use, I get firmer, more hydrated, visibly refreshed skin. That's a result I'll happily pay for again and again.
