“Self care” is the trendy wellness term du jour, and from our point of view, that’s a good thing… as long as self care products are nontoxic, ethical, stylish, and, you know, actually work. So you’ll find that this is a different kind of gift guide.
From mental health to immunity to confidence, we’ve researched, tested, and fallen in love with this assortment of body lovin’ products so good, you’ll gift them to yourself, too. (Bonus: breathing is free, so make sure to try our guide to breathing and share it with your nearest and dearest.)
Oh, and remember: Your body is a wondrous and beautiful thing. And so are you.
1. Joovv Red Light Therapy
Joovv’s Red Light Therapy delivers light therapy to improve your skin and body down to the cellular level. This device promotes supple rejuvenated skin using readily absorbed red light and near-infrared light to penetrate your skin at a deeper level. This can translate into your cells’ mitochondria producing more energy (ATP) (if you want to know more about the importance of your cells energy producing mitochondria, read 5 Ways to Keep Your Mitochondria Healthy) stimulating the synthesis of pro-collagen, basic fibroblast growth factors (bFGF). This can translate into healthier, glowy skin. Red light therapy can also aid workout recovery, support performance, inflammation, sleep and circadian rhythms. Joov’s Recovery+ Mode facilitates the body’s natural healing and regenerative process. It’s an ideal post-workout treatment. Choose from “The-Go,” the smallest device ($445) to the “Wall System” ($ 8,395)
2. Odacite Mood Cleansing Ayurvedic Bath Soak
Looking for a great stocking stuffer?

Made with detoxifying Himalayan Sea Salts and moisturizing grapefruit oils, this soak includes 84 essential minerals to melt stress away. It boasts almond oil and jojoba oil to soften the skin, lemongrass to invigorate the senses, and holy basil and grapefruit, both of which have been shown to be detoxifying agents. ($24)
3. Truvani’s Plant-Based Protein
Good skin – and good health in general – are both linked to macronutrients like protein. The quality of your plant-based protein makes a huge difference in how you look and feel, and Truvani’s Plant-Based Protein is some of the best. It’s vegan, organic (and therefore non-GMO), and it contains zero preservatives. It’s also devoid of artificial sweeteners, gluten, dairy, and soy. It has just five ingredients and comes in four indulgent flavors: chocolate, vanilla, banana cinnamon, and chocolate peanut butter. Bottom line: you know exactly what you’re getting: 20 grams of protein in only 130 calories per serving. ($49.99 per bag)
4. Dermapore Extractor and Serum Infuser
