Since I shop on Amazon for a living, I’m constantly trying out new fashion, beauty, and lifestyle finds from the retailer. And while my New York City apartment is currently bursting at the seams, my product recommendations are all the better for it. This spring, I’ve been compiling a list of items that have improved my daily life, and lucky for you, I’m revealing my top picks, below.
My favorite finds include everything from aluminum-free Mario Badescu deodorant and Kitsch satin scrunchies to delicious-smelling Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap and a skincare storage tray. And the best part is that they’re are all available for less than $35. So, if you’re also in the mood to level-up 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 Clean Towels XL, $14 (Originally $18)
Mrs. Meyer’s Three-Pack Clean Day Hand Soap, $12 with coupon (Originally $15)
Clean Skin Club Clean Towels XL
Amazon
I’m embarrassed to admit that for years, I used the same towel to dry my body and face, and to no surprise, ended up with acne and irritation. That’s why I decided it was time to treat my skin better and use the Clean Skin Club bio-based disposable face towels, instead. Since making the switch to these fiber towels, my skin has gotten significantly clearer, and I don’t have to worry about anything funky growing on my face. Plus, once I dry off my skin, I use the towel to clean my counter—it’s a win-win.
Mario Badescu Deodorant
Amazon
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 know what I mean when you try it), and prevents me from sweating through my clothes. And since I wear deodorant overnight (TMI?), I can rest easy knowing there are no harsh chemicals seeping into my skin. If you’re still not sold, take it from a reviewer who said this is the “only natural deodorant that actually works,” and it “lasts much longer than typical deodorants.”
Aestura A-Cica 365 Calming Cream
Amazon
Nothing has ever cleared up my skin as quickly and efficiently as the Aestura A-Cica 365 Calming Cream. When I have a breakout, I lather my skin in this cream at night, and by the morning, my skin is 90 percent better. The reason this formula works so well is because of its all-star lineup of ingredients; it’s made with beta-glucan (a natural fiber that comes from cell walls) to lock in hydration, 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 barrier. This cream has earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine.
CeraVe Itch Relief Moisturizing Lotion
Amazon
If you can’t tell by now, I have sensitive skin that’s eczema-prone, so the CeraVe Itch Relief Moisturizing Lotion is one of my holy grail products. I lather my body in this cream every time I come out of the shower, and I’m left with smoother, less irritated skin that I don’t feel the urge to scratch every five minutes. It’s made with one percent pramoxine hydrochloride, which is 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 Hair Scrunchies
Amazon
I was looking for a way to wear my hair up overnight without waking up with a crease in my hair, and the Kitsch Satin Hair Scrunchies are the solution. Despite their silky feel, the bands hold my hair securely regardless of how I style it, and they allow me to wear my hair down the next day without any harsh bends. Plus, they come in a pack of five scrunchies for just $8—that’s less than $2 apiece. It’s no wonder more than 10,000 people have purchased these hair ties in the past month, according to Amazon.
Acina 360-Degree Two-Tier Clear Rotating Storage Tray
Amazon
As I mentioned, I have a lot of items circulating through my home, and I needed a place to store my beauty products where I can still 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 I use it. Plus, it rotates 360 degrees, so nothing gets lost in the mix. And, as a shopper pointed out, the tray is “acrylic and looks great.”
Mrs. Meyer’s Three-Pack Clean Day Hand Soap
Amazon
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 household. Its citrus- and floral-inspired scent is undoubtedly the best-smelling hand wash I’ve ever sniffed—so much so that I’ve convinced multiple people in my life to purchase it. That’s why it comes as no surprise to me that it’s Amazon’s number one best-selling hand soap, and I highly recommend grabbing a three-pack to get your home in the springtime spirit.
