Attention Fellow Millennials: Reviewers In Their 30s And 40s Love These 31 Products, And You Probably Will Too
Shopping
·
If you utter "I'm too old for this" at least once a day, you've come to the right place.
1. A bottle of Drop It to keep on deck if you've experienced the wrath of wine-induced headaches, allergies, or that all-too-familiar hangover from just one glass. These drops are designed to reduce the tannins and sulfites found in wine, helping to alleviate those annoying side effects so you can still enjoy your vino without the drama.
Drop It recommends 1–2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2–3 for a glass of red, and 7–9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you should be g2g!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I've tried these before on some weekend friend getaways where we drank a LOT of wine and I think they really work! Just don't get overeager squeezing the bottle because then you can put way too much in your glass and make your wine taste weird. Yep, I did that and learned my lesson."
Promising review:"I became really sensitive to wine in my 30s and through a lot of trial and painful error, I thought I might have to give up on wine altogether. Then I found out about the preservatives being a possible cause and decided to give this product a shot. So glad I did!! I'm still pretty sensitive to reds but this helps tremendously so that I can have a glass with dinner without a headache immediately settling in. Whites cause me no problem what so ever! I love that it takes so little product to make a difference to a whole bottle. Just a few drops, a few minutes and we are good to go." — CastawayIrons

2. A set of two cooling pillows so you can enjoy the same blissful sleep that you got on vacation at that luxurious resort. This super soft pillow holds its shape with memory foam, and no matter if you're a side sleeper or a back sleeper, it'll provide the comfort you need to be knocked out in minutes.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:" As a new 30-year-old, I've started to notice some aches and pains in the mornings. After suffering terrible neck pain and restless nights, I decided to purchase these pillows after seeing such good reviews. I have had them for about a week now, and I feel incredible! I am a belly/side sleeper, and these are the most amazing pillows I've ever used. I sleep soundly and don't wake up in the night trying to get comfortable. I just purchased two more! These are the best find!!!!!!"— Hope Carlson
Get a set of two down-alternative pillows from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three sizes).
3. Along with a plush memory foam mattress topper to help your old, lumpy mattress feel more like a cozy oasis. It distributes your weight more evenly and reduces pressure on your joints, which = less tossing and turning all night.
Amazon
Promising review:"This saved me from buying a new mattress. After waking up daily with a backache (I'm only 30 and have no injuries or logical reason other than a bad mattress), I knew I needed to do something. This was a last-ditch effort to save myself from spending hundreds on a completely new mattress. So far, so good! It's a tad warm at times, yes, but I actually appreciate that because I tend to be cold when I'm falling asleep. At best, I have a comfy place to sleep. At worst, I throw off the extra blanket halfway through the night because I'm too hot. I'd recommend this to anyone but sleepers who already get too hot at night. If that's you, look into one with ventilation holes (this is one solid piece) and cooling properties." — Leandra
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in 2- or 3-inch depth, in eight standard bed sizes, and with or without a cover).
4. *Plus* a set of bed bands if it feels like fixing your shifting sheets every hour has become a part of your nightly routine. These'll keep them locked neatly in place, giving you the peaceful and uninterrupted sleep you deserve.
Promising review:"This product is da bomb! Yeah, I said that, and I am 43-years-old. Seriously, for months — heck, probably years — every single day we have to fix the sheet and it still comes off the mattress even when we are sleeping. I clip these things on and no more issues. You can see the sheet trying to slide up, but the clips hang on tight." — Ivy
Get a set of four from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three colors and two sizes).
5. A pair of compression gloves to bring some relief to your sore, aching hands after a long day of typing reports. These gloves are breathable so you won't have to worry about your hands getting sweaty after using them for an extended period of time.
Promising review: "I am in my 40s and was recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hands and feet. Total bummer. I don't want to take medication unless absolutely necessary, so I have been searching out other forms of relief from the pain and stiffness. I added these compression gloves to the mix, and they are very helpful. The gloves have a good range of motion and provide great compression support. They have been especially helpful when I do yard work, and I also plan to use them for an interior painting project. It's very hot where I live, so I don't currently wear them every day. However, I know I will wear them frequently during fall and winter. Highly recommend for anyone looking for medication alternatives to arthritis!" — cb4iast8
Get a pair from Amazon for $12.97 (available in four sizes).
6. And a compression foot sleeve that provides much-needed support, whether you're darting around after little ones, striving to hit those elusive 10K steps, or just navigating the daily grind. Made from lightweight and breathable materials, these sleeves are perfect for all-day wear or even while you sleep, ensuring you wake up without the usual aches and pains.

Promising review:"I'm in my late 40s and I have been experiencing plantar fasciitis since the beginning of 2020. I spent money on gel arch supports and heel inserts specifically for plantar fasciitis. The inserts have kept me from dying, but the heel pain is still around — so much so that when I get up in the mornings, it takes a bit for me to walk 'normal' due to the pain. I couldn't put up with it any more and two days ago, I researched Amazon for the highest rated 'plantar fasciitis' solution and found these socks. I put them on immediately (not tight at all). I was sitting for about an hour doing some work on the computer then got up to do some things around the house. I was SHOCKED (I'm not kidding about my reaction) that the pain was barely there. I got up 'quickly' and walked as if the heels of my feet had not been killing me but only two hours earlier! I'd say that the improvement from pain to less pain so far is at about 60% better — maybe even higher." — Patita
Get a pair from Amazon for $7.95 (available in four sizes and 11 colors).
7. A pair of open-toed sandals because once you hit your 30s and 40s, comfort becomes nonnegotiable. These bbs offer soft, cushioned arch support *and* it also doesn't hurt that they look awfully similar to Birkenstocks. Pair them with a sundress, jeans, and everything in between this spring and summer!
Psst — a whole bunch of reviewers compare these to Birkenstocks, saying they're not only more affordable but even comfier!
Promising review:"Relief! I have high arches and have developed something like plantar fasciitis now that I'm in my mid-40s. Didn't want to spend the money on the comparable Birkenstocks, even though I highly trust that brand. So glad I tried these first! Can't believe the price. And when I can't stand being barefoot or any other shoes, these are my go to. Wonderful!" — DB
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes 6–12, including wide sizes, as well as 20 colors).
8. A disgustingly satisfying Dermora exfoliant foot peel for those times you look down at your little piggies and think, "Dang, I need a miracle." You just slip on these booties and let the magic happen — but let me warn you, the peeling process can be a bit...interesting. It's like watching a snake shed its skin for the next 5–7 days. But! Your feet will look SO much better with no more cracking, tough skin.
Promising review:"So easy to use! It took a couple of days before anything started happening — my feet just felt 'tight,' and then I saw a bubble on my heel, and it was amazing! After more than 30 years of being in sports and the military, these are phenomenal! My feet were so soft and looked perfect! PS — best to use when you don't need to wear sandals or show your feet because it takes a couple of days for everything to shed off." — RLeigh
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five scents).
9. A neck and shoulder relaxer that may look a bit...odd at first glance, but it's here to help soothe neck stiffness and shoulder tension in as little as 10 minutes. If you find yourself hunched over your laptop and your neck and shoulders are practically screaming for relief, this was made for you.
(Psst — you should consult with your doctor before trying anything new involving your neck/back area to make sure it's safe for you!)
For this, instead of like a regular pillow, you're supposed to lay on it in 10-minute intervals; the seller suggests working your way up to it by starting yourself off at five minutes at a time, with a one- to three-day adjustment period before regular use.
Promising review:"This neck relaxer is so easy to use! It took a few times to get used to, but it is not uncomfortable and is very much helpful with my chronic neck pain and shoulder tension. I felt pain relief after the first use! I have even been able to cut back on my chiropractor appointments because of this product. So thankful for this amazing find as I am only 41 and have been struggling with neck pain for several years now." — Mary Beth
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).
10. A L'Oreal Paris Magic Root Cover-Up spray to cover sneaky grays or grown-out roots peeking through so you can extend time between salon visits and save your precious dollars. With a fast-drying formula, it blends effortlessly with your natural color, providing a seamless finish that holds until your next wash. Plus, reviewers love it for adding fullness to thinning hair.
www.amazon.com
That said, gray hair is gorgeous, so let those silvery strands shine! At the end of the day, it's whatever makes YOU feel best.
Promising review: "Lightweight and great coverage on gray/white roots. Bought dark blonde and is more of a light brown; but works well with my highlight/low lights. I'm horrible about getting hair done every two months. I usually go four to give months between colorings and save time and money. I'm 49 and have about 2 inches of grey growth on each side of my part, so it's actually 4 inches of grey roots on the top of my head. As long as you don't spray too close, then it doesn't get heavy or sticky. I highly recommend this product." — Michelle D.
Get it from Amazon for $7.50+ (available in 11 shades and also in a two-pack).
11. A doctor-recommended Squatty Potty for those days when you're feeling a bit ~stuck~ and spend so long in the bathroom, you're worried people will notice. This contraption helps you achieve a more natural position for doing your business, making it easier and quicker.
Amazon
Psst — a lot of reviewers with chronic constipation and other gastrointestinal issues that get them ~backed up~ swear by this!
Promising review:"My 66-year-old mother suffers from varicose veins and also has a variety of food intolerances that make 'going' a challenge. She tried this thing out and says it helps. I'm currently visiting my parents and staying at their home. At 39-years-old, overweight, and with lower-body nerve damage and mobility issues, I find this comfortable to use and definitely helpful. In addition, my 42-year-old brother has tried it and says it helps more than fiber supplements." — AKAmazonCustomer
Get it from Amazon for $21.49 (available in 10 colors, an acrylic version, and a teak wood version).

12. Some sinfully scrumptious Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets if your regular coffee isn't quite kicking like it used to. These little powerhouses pack a seriously bold punch with 300 mg of caffeine per cup, making them the perfect pick-me-up for those mornings when you need an extra jolt to get moving.
www.amazon.com
According to the Mayo Clinic, 'up to 400 milligrams of caffeine appears to be safe for most healthy adults,' but you should talk to your doctor about what's right for you.
Death Wish Coffee is a small business that specializes in coffee pods, grounds, whole beans, and more.
Promising review: "Been drinking coffee for 30 years, 2–5 cups a day. Want a real joe kick? This stuff after drinking coffee for 30 years makes you say, 'Mmmmmm, that's a good cup of joe right there.'" — darren robinson
Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $10.99.
13. A fully lined one-piece swimsuit to bring along on that well-deserved vacay. It has full coverage on the bottom, so you can move around freely without any cheeky wardrobe malfunctions. The mesh panel in the middle offers waist-enhancing magic, and the material is also double-lined and super supportive!
Promising review: "Well made, accurate sizing and CUTE! Every influencer was right, this was a perfect fit! I'm in my 40s. Comfortable to get on and wear! I ordered my usual size with no problem and the suit came in quickly." — Sabian
Get it from Amazon for $21.88+ (available in women's sizes 4–18 and 45 styles).
14. A roll-on migraine stick so you can be prepared when that familiar pounding starts to creep up on you in the middle of a busy workday. This combination of peppermint, spearmint, and lavender oils creates a cooling sensation when swiped across your temples, helping to relieve tension so you can tackle whatever the day throws at you.
The Migrastil migraine stick comes from small biz Basic Vigor.
Promising review:"I started getting migraines in my 40s with the onset of hormone changes. Migraines were new to me and I needed to figure out how to handle them when they came. This stick is now a trusted part of my arsenal. It works. I used to have a migraine every month, but now I use this at the first sign, and they don't progress. It's weird, but It works for me." — Bryn

Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
15. A Maybelline Instant Age Rewind concealer, aka your go-to for those mornings when your under-eyes are looking a little weary. Offering medium coverage that's *not* drying, this concealer will have you looking bright-eyed and feeling ready to face the day. And! The built-in sponge applicator makes it super convenient to toss in your purse for quick touch-ups wherever you need them.
Promising review:"I now have a new under-eye concealer. As I get older (I'm 40) I am noticing a little blue under my eyes. I sleep well. I've tried a lot of products and most will look unnatural or cakey. I decided to try this after reading a woman's blog who recommended it. She is my hero. Dark circles are instantly gone when I apply this. This product stays on all day too. I never need to reapply. The tube is convenient and is made so that none of the product gets wasted. You twist what you need to the surface sponge and apply. The surface sponge stays moist with product too so you don't need twist often, making the concealer last longer. I will continue to buy this one for sure." — phillygrl
Get it from Amazon for $8.80 (available in 18 shades).
16. A pair of pull-on Levi's jeans with over 59,000 glowing 5-star ratings — people are *obsessed* with how good these make them feel. If the thought of buying jeans before trying them on gives you anxiety, you can breathe easy, because this beloved pair is made with a soft, stretchy fabric that hugs your body without restricting movement.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I have now bought four pairs of these, and they are seriously my favorite pandemic jeans. They look like 'real' jeans (the material is woven, not knit) but the elastic waist makes them extra comfortable. I'm in my 40s, I've had two kids, and I usually wear an 18 in jeans. I'm an 18 in these. I have gotten the long inseam on them all, and it hits the top of my foot. I can roll it up for a shorter/summer look. I like them more snug. Wear/care: I wash these in cold and dry them in the dryer. If they shrunk at all, it wasn't noticeable. Cons: the only thing these are missing is front pockets, but for this price and for how much I love them, it isn't a dealbreaker. There are functional back pockets that can hold my phone." — A. Mather
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes 2–28, three inseams, and 21 colors).
17. A knee stabilizer band so you don't get all prepped for those spring hikes and workouts, only to have your knees be like, "Not today, hun." It's designed to provide that much-needed pain relief with its fabulous compression and shock-absorbing powers.
Promising review:"I played tennis when I was younger. Now I'm in my 40s and when I run on hills, my right knee hurts. I read the reviews for this product and decided to give it a try. It works great! I put this on when I go for walks or runs and the pain is gone! It is easy to put on and take off. I hand wash it and air dry it. It comes in a pack of two. I only needed one so I gave one to my mom! If you have knee pain, you need to try this product!" — Mehul Desai
Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in seven colors).
18. A pair of high-waisted bike shorts (with over 60,000 5-star ratings!) offering the perfect blend of compression and breathability, plus pockets (!) on each side. They're also squat-proof so you'll be covered while you're hitting the gym, going for a run, or just running errands.
Promising review:"I've struggled with thigh chafing all my life. I'm now 45. I just went on a hot, humid three-mile run and complete comfort with no ride up. Ordering in all colors and tossing my old running shorts!" — Cassandra Leigh Saffold
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 32 styles).
19. A memory foam seat cushion designed with orthopedic gel to spare your lower back and sciatica from those long hours glued to your work chair. This seat cushion promotes correct posture, giving more support to the lower back and making it a little more enjoyable to sit for extended periods of time.
People also swear by this for long car rides!
Promising review:"ABSOLUTELY best support cushion I've used! We have so many aids/cushions/creams/new beds every three years, and an endless amount of physical therapy devices I've purchased online or even online with a prescription and nothing I've got has ever just, 'WORKED!' right out if the box. It wasn't a cushion that sat awkward in the chair, I didn't feel like I was 40-something going on 90, and it didn't feel like 'it will probably keep my tailbone part from not feeling as bad' — NOPE, THIS CUSHION INSTANTLY CRADLED MY BODY IN A WAY THAT SUPPORTED FAR MORE THAN MY TAILBONE!! I always have to get up so careful to lean forward and release my coccyx pressure first, before I can even get up. THIS PILLOW TRULY KEEPS ALL PRESSURE OFF MY COCCYX AND SPINE. I plan on getting a few more to have several places. This is truly an item worth far more than its retail price The science in the design, material, and shape are stellar!" — J-licious
Get it from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in five colors).
20. A pair of lightweight sneakers so you can zip around town without feeling like you're lugging bricks on your feet. Crafted with a stretchy knit material, they slip on effortlessly, and the comfort level is as close to ~walking on clouds~ as you can get.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I love these more than I ever thought I would! I bought the cream and white and wear them several times a week. They go with jeans, leggings, joggers, athletic shorts. I'm 38 years old and never imagined myself wanting to wear sneakers every day, but here I am! Officially old and preferring these to any other shoe I own. I wear size 8, and these run true to size. No need to untie, as they slip on and off easily. I've been wearing these for five months, and they are holding up well."— 805GardenQueen
Get them from Amazon for $38.69+ (available in women's sizes 6–10 and in 14 colors).
21. And a pair of "self-tying" shoelaces since those extra couple of minutes you spent fumbling with laces could be the difference between catching your train, making it to an appointment on time, or avoiding a day-long domino effect of running behind schedule. These magical laces can slide through the loops of any lace-up shoes and turn them into slip-ons.
Amazon
A lot of runners and athletes also swear by these for training and races, since it's a guarantee their shoes won't come untied (and it also helps distribute the tension through the entire top of your foot, preventing localized injuries for longer runs!). You can also adjust the tension easily if your feet are more swollen on a particular day.
Promising review:"Purchased two pairs for my running shoes (49-year-old male). They work very well, have put a bunch of miles on them. No more tying/untying, just slip on. I like how they keep unified tension across the entire laces from top to bottom. I have had no issues with the lace lock at all, it snapped in well." — Scott
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 16 colors).
22. A stainless-steel tongue scraper, because news flash: Those mints are just covering up the odor and not addressing the real issue. This handy tool helps remove bacteria and soft plaque, leaving your tongue looking as fresh as it feels. No more awkward white, yellow, or brown tint to worry about!
www.amazon.com
Other reviewers note that this was effective enough that they didn't have to use mouthwash nearly as often to combat odors!
Promising review:"I was skeptical, but after the first use, I was sold. The motivation to use it twice a day (or more) was immediate, because it solved what mints, brushing mouthwash, etc. just never did: It eliminated my bad breath. If you've struggled with bad breath, like I have (for YEARS), get one of these. I wouldn't have believed it, but after scraping my tongue, I could immediately tell that my mouth was clean in a new way. That 'old taste' was gone. A toothbrush doesn't cut it — it can't get back on the tongue like the scraper does. And this scraper gets stuff in a way that a toothbrush just won't. Trust me — when you scrape your tongue, you'll see what I mean.
"For those with a sensitive 'gag reflex,' which I also have in spades, I've been using this scraper two times per day for a month and have gagged using it about three times, even though I'm touching further back on my tongue than I EVER did with a toothbrush (which never helped my breath significantly, I realize now). It's nothing now that my breath is fresh by getting rid of the bacteria that was actually causing the bad breath. I'm 44 and can't believe I'd never heard of a tongue scraper until now. I've bought two additional ones to give to family members." — CODreamer
Get it from Amazon for $8.26+ (also available in packs of two and 12).
23. A cool-to-the-touch bamboo fabric sleep set guaranteed to have you counting down the minutes until you can slip into it. Made with light, breathable fabric, this set is perfect for anyone who always runs hot and needs a little extra help staying cool and comfortable in bed.
Amazon
Promising review:"These are the ones I have been searching for! I have not been sweating at all since I started wearing them (I'm 49 and get hot flashes during the night) or at least waking up with damp clothes. The only thing I don't like is that they take forever to air dry because of the pocket construction. Other than that they seem well made and are super comfortable! I'm getting a second pair so I can rotate them for plenty of drying time." — Greg Ruth
Get it from Amazon for $23.66+ (available in women's sizes S–4X and 20 colors).
24. A genius knee pillow that can help promote better spinal alignment for people (especially side sleepers) with back, hip, knee, or sciatica pain. This will help you get a good night's sleep so you can wake up refreshed and ready to slay the day.
Amazon
It even comes with an adjustable strap if you're someone who tosses and turns in their sleep (or if you're using it to recover from an injury that may lead to limited mobility). Psst — a lot of pregnant reviewers and reviewers with arthritis pain and cartilage pain swore by this, too!
Promising review:"I'm 49 and a lifelong athlete and fitness trainer. I train a lot, and I also spend a great deal of time driving. I am struggling with piriformis syndrome in my right leg, plus have an old knee injury in my left leg. I also sleep only on my side at night. Sleeping with a pillow above my knees has worked okay and has helped but it is hard keeping it in place. I bought this to try, and it's awesome! It stays in place, is very comfortable, has helped my issues in reducing stress in my legs enormously. It was a little thicker than I expected it to be and took a little getting used to, but now it's great. Having the strap has been really helpful because it stays in place when I switch from sleeping on my one side to my other side during the night." — Christine T. Mitchell
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
25. An anti-dandruff shampoo reviewers say actually worked after trying everything else. This magical shampoo contains 1% ketoconazole, the key antifungal ingredient that makes all the difference — after just one use, you can start seeing results. Say goodbye to those pesky flakes and hello to a clean scalp!
www.amazon.com
This shampoo was designed to work for sensitive scalps, color-dyed and chemically processed hair, and all hair types and textures, with reviewers with 3b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them.
Promising review: "After suddenly developing dandruff in my 40s, and trying other medicated shampoos, this one knocked it out in two days! I use it about once a week for maintenance, and a tea tree oil shampoo in between. Very happy with personal results. Smells good, too." — rebeljack78
Get it from Amazon for $15.88.
26. And a shampoo massager to exfoliate your scalp while also increasing blood flow, which can promote hair growth. Plus, it just feels so darn good.
Promising review:"I am a guy and I want to keep my hair for my entire life. Now I'm in my mid-40s and just started noticing more hair pulled off after washing my hair. It's said that you should lightly massage the head with keeping fingers on the same spot to wash the hair, instead of making continuous rubbing action as you'd do normally. In that soft way to wash the hair, I could prevent pulling a lot of hair, but it doesn't feel thoroughly washing hair. In fact, I get more dandruff in this way. This scalp massager is just perfect to wash the hair without pulling excess hair off. It feels like having my hair washed at a good hair salon. It's a simple tool but works pretty darn good for me." — E
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
27. A five-pack of wedgie-proof cotton underwear because you're too grown to deal with uncomfortable underwear all day. This essential features a wide, stretchy waistband that actually stays put, so you can go about your day without constant readjustments or sneaky discomfort.
Promising review:"First pair of underwear that I have ever owned in my 30 years of existing on this planet that are comfortable! I do yoga, jog and just lounge around a lot, so let me tell you I put comfort before all! Moveable, breathable, does not give you a wedgie after taking five steps, covers my lower stomach without sliding down AND does not show a panty line. Finally something any shape and size can be comfy in! The only thing at this point to make these underwear better (like all women's clothes need) are pockets!" — Hannah Hernandez
Get a set of five from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 10 color combos and women's sizes S–5XL).
29. O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream, the unsung hero for anyone who frequently uses their hands for hard labor, crafting, or washing dishes. This cream is like a magical potion for extremely cracked hands, working overtime to deeply soothe and hydrate while creating a protective barrier that says "No way, Jose!" to future moisture loss.
www.amazon.com
Psst — a lot of reviewers also swear by this for relieving eczema!
Promising review:"Since moving to Chicago my hands have been suffering severely from dry cracked skin to the point of bleeding. I'm in my 30s with the hands of an 80 year old! THIS HAND CREAM IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER USED AND THE ONLY HAND CREAM ANYONE NEEDS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE!!! One application alone gives tremendous relief, two applications and you forget your hands were ever dry. A small amount goes a long way. It absorbs immediately, it's light and non greasy. I don't know what else you can need, it's so effective my hands look and feel great again. In fact, just recently my face started to get really dry too and I've been moisturizing twice a day all my life. Nothing helped. Last night I decided to put this hand cream on my face, figured it does wonders for my hands, why not? I woke up this morning. Dry skin has all but gone!" — RS
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
30. A set of blue-light–blocking glasses if you're tired of feeling like you need to take constant breaks because your eyes are killing you from staring at the screen. These babies can help reduce eye strain and let you work on your computer or phone for longer without any headaches.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"At 36-years-old with historically 20/20 vision, I thought my eyes were aging and I needed reading glasses. Then my mom pointed out that I was squinting at my computer specifically. Turns out, I just can't handle the blue light at night. Got these glasses, and BAM! Problem solved. Now my whole face can relax when I use my computer at night. My other devices have a nighttime setting that changed everything to a yellow light, but my computer doesn't have that option, and these glasses are perfect." — Sarahshmara
Get a set of two from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 15 style combinations).
31. A "Thirty, Flirty, And Thriving" T-shirt that's practically a rite of passage for anyone entering this fabulous decade. It's a celebration of your vibrant self, cheekily announcing to the world that you're living your best life.
MxM / Etsy
MxM is a Texas-based Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in custom screen-printed clothes.
Promising review: "This shirt was so soft!! And I'm glad to say it fit :) Got myself this shirt for my 30th birthday on Sunday; and plan to get my cousin one for her birthday in June." — Megan Warren
Get it from MxM on Etsy for $8.09+ (originally $17.98+; available in unisex sizes S–3XL, as a V-neck, and 16 colors).

It's impressed several reviewers, including loyal fans of Clinque's pricier shade. A set of African net sponges that will make you look at your old loofah with absolute disgust. Its scrubby texture will help exfoliate dead skin cells — just lather it up with your favorite soap and start scrubbing away.

Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream, because your décolletage deserves some special skincare attention. It contains salicylic acid to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, while glycerin and aloe add some extra hydration. Put that Groupon for a laser treatment down — try this first! A lightweight gel-cream from Nivea that uses the magic of an incredible called ~Q10~ to help firm and moisturize your skin — and it's racked up more than 17,000 rave ratings. Reviewers say it takes consistent use over a few weeks to see results, but those who stuck with it have seen improvements in the smoothness of their neck, thighs, and more. Or the best-selling Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream — it not only smells like caramel and pistachio deliciousness (pair it with the matching body mist to make the fragrance last even longer) but also can help tighten and firm the skin with repeated use thanks to the inclusion of caffeine-rich guarana extract. A moisturizing hair serum from Korean hair care brand Mise En Scéne made with SEVEN nourishing oils: argan, coconut, jojoba, marula, olive, camelia, and apricot.

They're also perfect for removing stubborn masks and cleaning your makeup tools! A lip stain that's basically the everlasting lipstick of your dreams. Ok "everlasting" might be a bit much, BUT reviewers say this lip color actually lasts for hours, even through eating and drinking. Just apply a coat over your lips, then wipe off after 10-30 seconds to reveal your new smudge-proof color. The magic is in the "Liquid Blading" formula that deposits the pigment on the top layer of your lips and then seals it in to keep it from transferring. A slightly terrifying but super firming and softening overnight peel-off mask from K-Beauty brand Medicube. Just apply a thin layer before bedtime (let it dry before your head hits the pillow, though) and catch some ZZZs while the hyaluronic acid hydrates, the collagen extract smooths fine lines, and the niacinamide brightens your skin tone. Now comes the fun part: wake up and peel it off to reveal some super glassy skin And a tub of Medicube's dual-textured toner pads that uses the power of lactic and salicylic acid to wipe away dead skin cells and help reduce the appearance of pores and blackheads. After cleansing, use the textured side for a deep exfoliation, then flip to the smooth side to soothe and mop up any excess oil. Blue Lizard's SPF 50 mineral sunscreen — it includes organic aloe to help soothe sensitive skin. It's also water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so you can splish and splash like a carefree lizard for more than an hour. That's the kind of summer you deserve!! OPI RapiDry Quick Dry Nail Polish that dries more quickly than... actually, it already dried before I could think of a clever example!! One minute is all it takes — yes, just 60 seconds — to get a fully-dried veil of vibrant color that'll help you hold off on that expensive gel set you've been meaning to get. Skala's Mais Cacho Hair 2-in-1 Conditioning Treatment — it's truly a multitasking marvel.

Medicube's collagen jelly that reviewers say has a "glass skin" effect that's nothing less than spellbinding. The hydrolyzed collagen is formulated to be easily absorbed by your skin, which helps hydrate and might even add a slight plumping effect to really emphasize your ~glow~ for the day. And the jelly consistency is just plain fun.

Dab it on as part of your night routine, or swipe some on before applying your go-to concealer for an even base. And!!! Grace & Stella eye masks to help brighten and depuff the dark circles that have had your under-eyes in a chokehold since college. Pick up the blue "illuminating" formula to help brighten under-eyes (thanks to the niacinamide!) the yellow "Energizing" formula to help smooth fine lines (thanks to sea moss!), or the pink "Moisturizing" formula to help add extra moisture. (Thanks to hyaluronic acid!) Bio-Collagen's Real Deep sheet mask that works overnight to refresh your skin. No, really, it's designed to be worn while you sleep — it's transfer-resistant, so it won't leave a mess on your pillow! It's infused with hyaluronic acid to hydrate, collagen to maximize absorption and minimize the appearance of pores, and probiotics to strengthen the skin's barrier. Best of all, it turns transparent when your skin is done absorbing the serum, so you'll know when it's ready to take off. A satin bonnet so silky smooth it's inspired more than 10,000 reviewers to leave a 5-star rating. Those satisfied reviewers love that it's super soft (yes, the inside is also lined with satin!) and roomy enough for long hair. And all my fellow hot sleepers will be relieved to know it's breathable enough to wear all night long! An Anua pore-clearing cleansing oil that's specifically designed to help regulate your sebum production and break down blackheads, making it a great option for all my fellow oily-skinned peeps. It also helps break down makeup, so you can finally stop wasting money on makeup-removing wipes! A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars packed with tons of vitamin C and turmeric — aka the ultimate superhero ingredients for potentially brightening and reviving dull skin. Reviewers have had luck using this on both the face and body — but we recommend giving it a patch test first on a small area to see how your skin reacts. All good? Then start sudsing away! The iconic Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, which will have you waking up saying "new lips, who dis?" It's packed with murumuru seed and shea butter to make your lips feel silky smooth and vitamin C to protect your pout. It's racked up over 35,000 rave ratings so far, with many reviewers saying it takes care of flaky, dry skin overnight. A powerful Paula's Choice 2% BHA salicylic acid exfoliant that reviewers swear by for reducing the appearance of blackheads and acne. Salicylic acid is known for its chemical exfoliating properties, meaning it'll help break down the dead skin and oil that contributes to congested skin. Swipe this magic formula on after cleansing, then let it absorb before applying other products. A hydrating Cosrx repairing essence with 96% snail secretion filtrate, which can help with dryness and damaged skin. Reviewers also mention seeing a reduction in dark spots and acne, and even people with oily skin find that it absorbs quickly and doesn't clog their pores. Who knew snails had the secret to glassy, glowy skin this whole time?!

Microplastics on the menu? No thanks — snag this $30 steel bento box from Amazon instead
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. They're everywhere. In the air, the water, and maybe even in your kids' lunchbox! Microplastics might have some of us doomscrolling for days, but that doesn't mean they're impossible to avoid. By swapping out certain household products with plastic-free alternatives, families can limit they're exposure to these dangerous particles (at least, that's what the experts recommend). Take this $30 stainless steel bento box, for example. With back-to-school season in full swing, now's the perfect time to upgrade to a lunch box that's durable, eco-friendly, and 100% BPA-free. Even better? It's currently nearly 25% off on Amazon — making it easy to snag one for every member of the family. Sleek and modern, it's a far cry from those flimsy lunch sacks that end up in the trash every day. Advertisement Microplastics aren't just all the buzz on social media. Several experimental studies have indicated that microplastic exposure can lead to a myriad of health complications, including inflammation-related diseases, increased oxidative stress, and even neurotoxicity. To put it into perspective, it is estimated that the average person can eat, drink, or breathe between 78,000 and 211,000 microplastic particles every year. Don't want to be one of those people? Perhaps, it's time to go plastic-free. Amazon Microplastics shouldn't be seasoning your salad. The UPTRUST Stainless Steel Bento Lunch Box is the perfect way to level up your lunch game. Designed with durable, BPA-free stainless steel, it offers five compartments to keep your meals neat and just the right temperature. 'My main motivation for purchase was to find a plastic-free option that would withstand through the school year. It's easy to clean, looks sleek, and fits more than it seems,' one happy reviewer explained. 'My 11-year-old says it 'doesn't make her lunch look lame,' which is high praise. I love knowing they're not eating off BPA-laced plastic every day.' Aside from the cool-factor, this stainless steel lunch box is also leakproof, dishwasher-safe, and tough enough to survive when your kid chucks their backpack off after getting home from school.
