These 'magic' moisturizing socks can cure cracked heels — grab them for $7 a pair
Dr. Frederick's Original Moisturizing Heel Socks are lined with SootheFast Gel, a pain-relieving gel that not only moisturizes, helping to ease soreness, but also encourages the skin to regenerate.
In addition to the medicinal oils in the soft fabric, you can add your favorite foot cream and let those babies soak. Think your heels are tough? These socks are tougher. With or without added moisturizers, they go to town on rough, dry skin while you quite literally kick back, relax, watch TV, read a book, or go to sleep. It's the most hands-off way possible to restore your heels to their former glory.
Another plus: Dr. Frederick's Original Moisturizing Heel Socks are one size fits most and safe for sensitive skin. They're also breathable and won't overheat your feet, according to many reviewers, especially because they don't cover your toes. When you're done, just pop them right in the washing machine and stroll out the door in pain-free bliss!
If you've tried a million ways to fix your cracked heels and walk pain-free, join the club. That's what most of the product's 10,000-plus five-star reviewers have in common: the kind of desperation that led them to Dr. Frederick's.
"I have tried a number of different things, including plastic foot booties used for pedicures. These silicone heel socks do the trick," said one impressed shopper. "Wear these nightly to say goodbye to cracked heels and hello to soft feet."
"These have healed my super-gnarly heels!" said another. "After about two months of using these nightly, paired with using Keresal intensive foot treatment, my once VERY thick and VERY CRACKED heels are starting to look somewhat normal. They're still not 100% up to my wishes, but I don't have any cracks, and my heels no longer look terrible. I would say within a few more weeks of regular use and gentle pumice stone use, my thick heel calluses will be 100% gone."
"What kind of magic is this?" asked a stunned reviewer. "The socks, for me, fit perfectly. Hugging my heel with the silicone sitting perfectly in place. I went to sleep and woke up hopeful. I removed the socks and my eyes widened. It was like someone came in the middle of the night and replaced my dry ugly heels with that of a 20-year-old woman! Smooth. Almost no cracks!"
A final Amazon fan said: "What a relief! All I can say is wow. My feet were so painfully dry since it has gotten cold. No matter how much I lotion my feet they would still get dry and cracked, and I needed relief. I honestly didn't think I would be so blown away by the results in literally two to three days. My feet feel amazing."
Shoppers didn't find many downsides to these socks, but some did say they were a bit snug. "I don't really like walking on them as the gel pad moves around and feels strange. They're also a little tight across my feet, but I have wide feet," remarked one customer.
Another added: "These socks fit somewhat snuggly but they didn't become uncomfortable through the night."
And while these are socks, they are full of moisturizers, so one reviewer cautioned users to be careful when moving around: "I want to moisturize my heels but hate wearing socks to bed. This solves the problem... Be careful though... slippery walking on a tile floor."
Need a little extra help taming those heels? Over 64,000 shoppers love this foot cream.
"This cream really works on your feet," one five-star reviewer explained. "Makes them soft and smooth. Doesn't have any odor, is not greasy and absorbs quickly and well. Helps to get rid of calluses and dry skin on heels. Works well at night, put it on and wear socks to bed. Gives you happy feet!"
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 amazing Oura Ring 3 just hit its lowest price ever — this will sell out fast
It's no longer the company's flagship, but the Oura Ring 3 remains one of our favorite fitness trackers. It tracks in-depth sleep metrics, exercise, and vitals, as well as monitors your stress and guides you with your glucose levels. For a limited time, you can get the Oura Ring Gen 3 on sale for $199 at Amazon. That's the same price we saw during Prime Day and an all-time price low for this excellent smart ring. It's no longer the flagship, but the Oura Ring Gen 3 remains one of our favorite smart rings. In our Oura Ring Gen 3 review we said the Editor's Choice tracker is a must if you like tracking your fitness and health. It has sensors for your heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature. It also boasts a 3D accelerometer for movement detection. This deal is on the Heritage design. The Oura Ring Gen 3 is one of the most mainstream smart rings out there, packing an array of health sensors into a discreet design. While it can track movement and exercise, sleep tracking is the Oura Ring's claim to fame. In fact, the Oura Ring 3 helped one or our reviewers detect their sleep apnea, and it knew our fitness editor was pregnant before she did, which is pretty crazy. It can also track blood oxygen levels, sleep stages, and Oura menstrual tracking. You can even meditate using the app and connect with partner apps like Natural Cycles and Strava. The latest upgrades now allow users to access AI to improve habits and track meals and glucose levels throughout the day. That said, if you're big on fitness, the Oura Ring can't replace your Apple Watch. There are too many things an Apple Watch offers that the Oura Ring doesn't. The most obvious one — the Oura Ring doesn't have a display, so you can't follow your activity metrics mid-workout unless you have the Oura app open. Regardless, the Oura Ring is still an excellent buy that you won't regret, especially at this low price. Although there are several design options to choose from, today's deal is on the Heritage option only. (It has a jagged shape that has since been discontinued). Note: The Oura Ring 4 isn't on sale, but you can see the differences in our Oura Ring 4 vs. Oura Ring 3 comparison.

The SKIMS Face Wrap may be here, but this MAREE mask is almost identical
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. Many beauty trends and products snatch my attention, but this one, quite literally, snatched it. So like, let's talk about the SKIMS Sculpt Face Wrap that's taking over the internet (and, surprise, surprise: it's sold out). That's right — facial shapewear is now out in the open, as the beige, Velcro-secured mask made headlines for its jaw-sculpting claims and futuristic aesthetic. While undeniably trendy, the SKIMS wrap sparked debate over whether compression alone could deliver lasting results. Which brings us to something far more exciting — and effective — for those chasing real skincare benefits: the MAREE Chin-Lifting 24K Gold & Collagen Lifting Mask, currently on sale on Amazon. Advertisement Amazon If the SKIMS wrap is fashion's answer to facial toning, the MAREE mask is its skincare-savvy counterpart. It's rich in active ingredients, sensorial in experience and backed by glowing reviews. Stating the obvious: this is not your average sheet mask. It's a sculpting treatment infused with 24-karat gold, collagen and hyaluronic acid, designed specifically to firm and lift the chin and jawline. Think of it as the spa day your lower face has been waiting for. It's active-driven skincare at its finest. You must be an Amazon Prime member to access this deal. Sign up for a 30-day free trial here. Let's talk ingredients in more detail. First, there's collagen, a powerhouse protein that gives skin its elasticity and firmness. Over time, our natural collagen levels decline, making this ingredient essential in any anti-aging regimen. MAREE delivers it in a deeply hydrating formula that targets sagging around the jawline. Next up, hyaluronic acid, which is my all-time favorite ingredient for hydration as a beauty product tester as it truly allows your skin to retain moisture. Fun fact: one gram of hyaluronic acid can hold up to six liters of water, so imagine what it can do for your skin's plumpness and glow. Then there's the 24K gold, not just for show; it helps boost microcirculation and delivers antioxidants, which combat free radicals and support overall skin vitality. But the real magic of the MAREE mask isn't just what's in it. As its design showcases, it's all about how it's used. Each mask is pre-shaped to fit comfortably under the chin and along the jawline, securing gently in place. After cleansing your skin, you simply apply the mask, sit back and relax for 20 to 30 minutes while the formula gets to work. It's perfect for a self-care evening or a quick refresh before a big event. There's no mess, no fuss and no Velcro straps required. Why it's worth It While a facial wrap might offer temporary sculpting via compression, the MAREE mask goes deeper, nourishing the skin with clinically respected ingredients that address the underlying causes of sagging and dullness. With regular use, you'll likely notice improved skin texture, more definition along the jawline and a noticeable boost in hydration. Plus, many reviewers on Amazon mention that their skin feels smoother and firmer after just one application. Some even say it gives an immediate tightening effect that makes their face feel refreshed and rejuvenated. This mask also wins points for being incredibly user-friendly. You don't need a full spa setup or even a bathroom mirror to get the most out of it. Toss one in your travel bag, slip one on during a Netflix binge or treat yourself on a Sunday afternoon. It fits seamlessly into any routine — and looks just luxurious enough to feel like a true indulgence. And yes, it's currently on sale, making now the perfect time to try it. For the price of a couple of lattes, you can bring home a targeted treatment that delivers both instant gratification and long-term skin benefits. It's a small investment in glowing skin and a sculpted jawline…without the need for invasive procedures or constricting shapewear, of course. So while the SKIMS face wrap may turn heads on social media, the MAREE 24K Gold & Collagen Lifting Mask is quietly winning hearts in the skincare world, one lifted jawline at a time.

This rare collagen is called a ‘complete beauty booster' and it's only $16 on Amazon
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. This is not a drill. Grass-fed collagen is marked down to just $16 on Amazon, and reviewers swear they're seeing real results. Collagen comes in different forms, and each serves a unique purpose. But, unlike single-source formulas, VEV Collagen Powder delivers a potent blend of types I, II, III, V, and X for full-body support. By combining several forms, users can enjoy a wider range of potential benefits — from more radiant skin to stronger hair and nails, improved joint flexibility, and even smoother digestion. Advertisement 'My skin feels more hydrated and firmer, and my nails are growing stronger,' one reviewer gleamed. 'I love that it includes Types I, II, III, V, and X collagen, plus hyaluronic acid, biotin, and vitamin C — it's like a complete beauty booster in one scoop.' VEV peptides are also stamped with labels experts recommend looking for in all supplements: GMP-certified, GMO-free, and third-party tested. The formula is hydrolyzed, making it easier for the body to break down and absorb. Shoppers say it mixes well and the taste is tolerable, too. If you're looking to add affordable, grass-fed collagen to your routine, this powerhouse formula could be just what you've been missing. Amazon Not your average collagen supplement, VEV Multi Collagen Peptides Powder features five different kinds of collagen sourced from grass-fed animals (completely free of fillers and artificial colors). Blended with vitamins, keratin, and biotin, it's designed to support everything from smoother skin to stronger joints, healthier hair, and gut balance. Reviewers say it dissolves easily in warm drinks, is generally gentle on the stomach, and delivers real results with consistent use.
