I’ve been testing new Amazon products, but these are the best

Since I shopped on Amazon for a living, I’m constantly trying new fashion, beauty, and lifestyle finds from the retailer. And even though my apartment in New York is currently packed, my product recommendations are all the better for it. This spring, I put together a list of items that improved my daily life, and luckily for you, I’m revealing my favorites below.

My favorite finds include everything from aluminum-free Mario Badescu deodorant to Kitsch satin scrunchies to Mrs. Meyer’s delicious-scented hand soap to a skincare storage tray. And the best part is, they’re all available for under $35. So if you’re also in the mood to improve your life this spring, keep scrolling to check out the seven items I’m loving right now.

Shop editor-loved Amazon Spring finds

Clean Skin Club XL Clean Towels

I’m embarrassed to admit that for years I used the same towel to dry my body and face and, unsurprisingly, ended up with acne and irritation. That’s why I decided it was time to treat my skin better and use Clean Skin Club Organic Based Disposable Pads instead. Since switching to these fiber towels, my skin has become much clearer and I no longer have to worry about something weird growing on my face. Plus, once I’ve dried my skin, I use the towel to clean my counter: it’s a win-win.

Mario Badescu Deodorant

Mario Badescu’s deodorant is the first aluminum-free formula I’ve found that actually works for me. It glides on smoothly, smells like a mix of fresh cucumber and flowers (you’ll see what I mean when you try it), and keeps me from sweating through my clothes. And since I wear deodorant at night (TMI?), I can rest easy knowing that no harsh chemicals are leaching into my skin. If you’re still not sold, take it from one reviewer who said it’s “the only natural deodorant that actually works” and “lasts much longer than regular deodorants.”

Aestura A-Cica 365 Calming Cream

Nothing has ever brightened my skin as quickly and effectively as Aestura A-Cica 365 Soothing Cream. When I have a breakout, I lather my skin with this cream in the evening and in the morning, my skin looks 90% better . The reason this formula works so well is due to its premium ingredient lineup; it is composed of beta-glucan (a natural fiber from cell walls) to retain moisture, plant sterols to smooth and plump the skin, madecassoside (an active component of the centella asiatica plant) to soothe irritation and panthenol to strengthen the skin. skin barrier. This cream has earned a permanent place in my skincare routine.

CeraVe Anti-Itch Moisturizing Lotion

If you can’t tell by now, I have sensitive skin prone to eczema, so the CeraVe Itch Relief Moisturizing Lotion is one of my holy grail products. I lather my body with this cream every time I get out of the shower, and I’m left with smoother, less irritated skin that I don’t feel the need to scrub every five minutes. It contains 1% pramoxine hydrochloride, a local anesthetic that temporarily relieves pain, itching and irritation. And as someone who is constantly itchy, I can attest that it actually works.

Kitsch satin scrunchies

I was looking for a way to wear my hair overnight without waking up with a crease in my hair, and Kitsch Satin Hair Scrunchies are the solution. Despite their silky feel, the elastics hold my hair securely no matter how I style it, and they allow me to wear my hair the next day without bending it too hard. Plus, they come in a pack of five scrunchies for just $8, which is less than $2 each. It’s no wonder more than 10,000 people have purchased these hair ties in the past month, according to Amazon.

Acina Clear Two-Tier 360 Degree Rotating Storage Tray

As I mentioned, there are a lot of items moving around my house and I needed a place to store my beauty products where I can always access them. That’s where the Acina Two-Tier Clear Rotating Storage Tray comes in; the genius storage solution sits atop my dresser and allows me to grab what I need and easily put it back after using it. Plus, it swivels 360 degrees so nothing gets lost in the mix. And, as one shopper pointed out, the tray is “acrylic and looks great.”

Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Hand Soap 3-Pack

Is it weird to be obsessed with hand soap? If so, call me weird, because Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Compassion Flower Soap is a staple in my house. Its citrusy, floral-inspired scent is without a doubt the best-smelling hand cleanser I’ve ever sniffed, so much so that I’ve convinced several people in my life to buy it. That’s why I’m not surprised that this is Amazon’s best-selling hand soap, and I highly recommend picking up a three-pack to get your home in the spring spirit.
