Promising review: "My natural nails are horrible! They are and thin and brittle, and have a tendency to split, peel and break. Consequently, I wore acrylic nails for several years until I got tired of leaving so much money at the nail salon. When I soaked off the acrylics, my nails were, of course, worse than ever, and nothing I tried seemed to restore them to even their original condition until I found Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream. I rub this into my cuticles and nail beds several times a day, and after two months, my nails are hard and much thicker with no breaking or splitting. For the first time since I took off the acrylics, my nails are growing past my fingertips. This cream is a keeper, just ordered my second jar and I'll never again be without it." —M. Hill

Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers.  

Promising reviews: "Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it’s pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the packaging design; no leaks, and it’s extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I’m especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what’s not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" —Briana R

"I love the light fragrance of this sanitizer and how it doesn’t dry my skin. Definitely will buy again." —Lindsey Ogden

Londontown is a small business that offers a range of skincare and beauty products for your nails and body.

Promising review: "This nail veil is so pretty and perfect for a simple, bare nail look! It applies very smoothly, and one to two coats work well. With a top coat, it lasts almost perfectly for about five days, but chips are not very noticeable, so you can easily wear it for longer! I also feel confident in this brand's use of higher-quality ingredients, which makes it well worth the extra cost. My nails aren't left damaged by this product, and it has become my go-to when I don't have the time for a full-color look but still want my nails to look polished and pretty!" —Sofia K 

"Beautiful color: subtle, but elegant. Lasts well. Small bottle, but plenty to use before it gets thicker. Would definitely buy again. Recommended." —Kokopelli

Get it from Amazon for $17+ (available in 10 shades and a two-pack). 

Promising review: "My hands suffer every winter with not only dryness, but also cracking around the fingertips. I've tried many creams, lotions, and paint-on products that would work temporarily, if at all. I saw a commercial for O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream and read many, many reviews on the product. I've tried it, and all I can say is that it's a miracle. The dryness has left my hands, and my fingertips are well on the way toward healing... And this is after only two days of use. I wish I had found it years ago. It would have saved me lots of pain, agony, and money." —Desert D

Get it from Amazon for $8.89 (also available in multi-packs).

College buddies Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor founded Mad Rabbit after realizing there was a gap in the market for all-natural products used to heal, protect, and enhance the appearance of tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank.

Fellow BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower is a huge fan of this salve: "I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great for sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff!"

Promising review: "I love everything about Mad Rabbit tattoo balm. It smells great, and keeps my tattoo looking fresh and vibrant. Whenever someone asks me how it looks so good, I have this product to thank. Sincerely recommend it to you and to my friends who also have tattoos." —Alix Doyle

Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in four scents and in a bundle with a foam wash).

Promising review: "I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month with me religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement, so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out, and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana

Get it from Amazon for $10.79+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "I typically have pretty bad pain in my right wrist. So, when I wanted to start yoga again, I did not want to aggravate it. These blocks have helped tremendously. I can now do poses like downward dog with no wrist pain at all!" —Cris

Get them from Amazon for $39.99 (available in six colors).

Don't be surprised if the reviewer photos convince you to build your own collection!

Promising review: "I don’t know who I was kidding when I intended to start doing my own nails, except once a month, because I could save $. Once I found the brand ILNP that actually stays on my nails very well and lasts a long time, I decided to explore colors AND shades. I used to only wear OPI, but this brand IS BETTER, and the color choices are endless. So much for savings. I have seven bottles so far, three on the way, and about five on the shopping list — all in the past month! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣" —Tara Anderson

Get it from Amazon for $12.50 (available in dozens of colors and in multipacks).

The set listed includes six gel polishes. You'll need a curing UV lamp to make sure it sticks, so be sure to nab one! You can also get a set of base and top coats in case you don't have them!

Promising reviews: "My new favorite polish. I recently started doing my nails at home, and this set has been my go-to for my last four sets. Gives just enough color with one or two coats and is still a little transparent. Love them!" —JazzieBee

"This nail polish is absolutely stunning! It gives the perfect glossy, jelly, shiny pink. I’ve gotten so many compliments on my nails using these colors. I love them!" —Max_C

Get it from Amazon for $7.59+ (available in various color sets and in individual colors).

Promising reviews: "My wife is obsessed with Aveeno Skin Relief Repairing Hand Mask, and honestly, I get why. She tried them once and now always keeps a pack on hand. She says they leave her hands super soft and actually feel repaired, not just temporarily moisturized. Especially during dry weather, these have been a game changer for her. Easy to use, no mess, and they actually work — so yeah, these are definitely staying stocked in our house." —Dustin W Cade

"Works well! I have very dry skin, especially in the winter. My hands will sometimes crack and bleed. This product gives so much relief! I appreciate how much softer my hands feel after using it. I have bought multiple times. Great results with each purchase." —Mrs AmyLA

Promising review: "I love this ring! I wear it all the time. I love how thin and feminine it is and the way it looks on my hand. It is just the right amount of shiny, and the diamonds are the right size compared to the heart. I have read other reviews on here, and I will say it hasn't turned anything green or whatnot, even though I wear it in the shower and wash my hands all the time. I also go to the beach and the pool with it on." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $33.19+ (available in sizes 3–13 and over 40 styles).

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say: "TBH, I bought this ring after seeing it blow up on TikTok, and I love it. I wear it every single day, and I've gotten SO many compliments on it — friends are always stunned when I tell them how cheap it is! I've been wearing it for months now without any wear and tear that a quick cleaning won't fix. Pictures don't do it justice; it really does ✨gleam✨ like real jewels. (Bonus: I use this as a fake wedding ring when I travel to encourage humans to leave me alone, lolololol.)."

Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in two thicknesses, three band finishes, and sizes 5–10). 

Each jar has 38 lotion bursts, and you want to make sure to keep it somewhere room temp, just in case it gets too warm and they start to melt together!

According to one reviewer, one burst is perfect for moisturizing hands, but you might want to use two or three for arms and legs. 

Promising review: "OK, but I love these? They smell so good, and they're so convenient. I was worried they'd be like gummy or leave a weird skin or something, but that's not a problem at all! The whole cute little lotion pops right onto the skin. I've found they're the perfect size to get my hands and up to my elbows when I'm hecka scaly, and all the way up to the shoulders when I'm less dry. And there's no residue! No greasy feeling! Just soft and hydrated and awesome. If they come out with more scents besides this and lavender, I'm buying them for sure. And less chance of spilling in a bag and ruining things!!" —AllyBelle

Use it quickly because it expires in 24 months!

Promising review: "So, I bought this in the hopes of being left famished and never placing my hands in my mouth again. AND IT WORKED! I put the polish around my nails AND skin, hoping it wouldn't harden like regular clear polish, and to my surprise, it wasn't uncomfortable and dried EXTREMELY fast. Now THE TASTE!!! It is HORRIBLE LOL, it tastes like somebody mixed alcohol and Windex in a bottle and sprayed it in my mouth. It's not the kind of taste you could ever get used to, unless you're used to spaying perfume into your mouth by accident. Water is not enough to get rid of the taste. I would recommend brushing your tongue and lips to fully get rid of the taste because IT'S THAT STRONG! BUY IT!!!!" —carla

The weights are designed with a sweatproof silicone exterior and an adjustable elastic band to make them fit comfortably. And you can even remove the weights to customize the feel if necessary!

Promising review: "I love these! So great for yoga or mat Pilates. I like that they are two pounds each, which is the perfect weight, and you can even take off some weight as well. I use them every week for my workouts. Very durable band as well!" —Robyn

Get a pair from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in three weights and 15 colors).

Promising review: "I’ve suffered with sweaty hands for all of my life. It’s an issue that has caused me embarrassment and anxiety where there should be neither. I’ve only just started using this lotion, but I can tell it’s making a difference. It definitely has a distinct drying effect and makes my hands feel smooth." —Gary

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two scents and multi-packs). 

Promising reviews: "I've been using Kerasal as directed morning and evening for about 10 days now, and the vertical lines in my nails seem to be lightening up; they're not as deep. They are much better than they were, but I don't expect the lines to totally disappear. I would be extremely surprised if they disappeared completely. The product seems to be working. I'm pleased." —M.

"I've been using it as directed for one month. I bought this product as a nail peeling treatment. My nails had a meltdown about six weeks ago. First, one nail broke and began peeling; within a week, the rest of my nails began peeling. I'm not sure what caused this... The Kerasal nail repair made my nails look better immediately. After the first time I used it, the peeling edges of my nails were less visible. The nails looked smoother. As a result, I was less inclined to pick at them. After four weeks of continued use, the peeling seems controlled, and my nails look more nourished and smoother. I know the damaged edges will take another month or so to grow out." —Mary B. Martin

Get it from Amazon for $17.97 (also available in a patch version and with nail files).

Promising review: "I get compliments on these almost every time I wear them. Great price for the quality." —Taylor M

Get it from Amazon for $10.31 (available in nine styles and a two-pack). 

Promising review: "I am an ER nurse and of course wash my hands MANY times a day. Over the years, I have bought and tried many hand creams. Some were okay, others I would never recommend. I read the reviews on these hand creams, and to my surprise, they are absolutely amazing. My hands were so dry that I was afraid they might start cracking! This product goes on smoothly and has a very light, pleasant scent. It is not the least bit greasy, but the best part is that it stays on your hands and continues to feel smooth, even after a wash or two. Your skin doesn’t get dry and flaky! I use it at work and love it. My hands no longer feel dry and don’t look sore and red anymore!! This is a wonderful product, and I’m so glad I found it. I will recommend it to anyone that needs skin hand care!" —Duone Curran

Get it from Amazon for $4.49 (available in three scents and two-packs).

Promising review: "Great to use after cleaning with bleach, and your hands have been stripped of all oil. Love this hand cream; it absorbs well into the skin. Has a pleasant scent, and I’m very pleased." —Jennifer N. Kraft

"Been using this Kiehl’s hand salve for about a week and it's been amazing! I've tried a lot of expensive, nice lotions lately, and nothing has worked as well as this has. I wash my hands so much and have very dry, cracked hands and little small cuts, and this has made a significant difference in the last few days. It's also been amazing for my dry feet!! Not greasy, melts into your skin nicely, and the benefits stick around all day." —Bree Elisabeth

Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in two sizes and two-packs).

And here's one TikToker who says this polish is a "hack" for someone always running late and shows us the 60-second drying process in real time!

Promising review: "This is my go-to nail polish. The fact that it’s fast-drying is a plus. It’s so pretty, and it has the most beautiful colors. It has excellent longevity, especially when paired with a top coat. I also feel as if it can go with so many different outfits/colors because of the color changes under different lighting. It would be even better if it were a bit darker, so I wouldn’t need to apply as many layers. Definitely recommend!" —Mama N

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 38 shades and a 3-in-1 top/base coat).

Promising review: "My nails were very weak, splitting, and breaking after years of having gel polish on them. So I had the gel removed and let my nails breathe for about four months. About two months in, I purchased this cuticle oil and suddenly my nails not only stopped splitting and cracking, but they actually grew long and strong with no polish on them at all!! I've NEVER had long, natural nails before, so my only conclusion is that this cuticle oil was the reason for the vast improvement in my nail health (no other changes in diet, etc.). I also like how it feels and smells. It goes a long way, but when I run out, I'll be buying this brand again!" —Susan M.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 14 scents and two sizes).

Promising review: "My son has eczema and sensitive skin. We had tried a lot of different moisturizers, and they didn't work out for him. Then our doctor suggested that we try Vanicream, which works like magic! You can actually feel the moisture on his skin, like an extra layer of protection. And my son's eczema gets better too! We have been using this moisturizer ever since." —Kylie

Get it from Amazon for $13.56 (also available in multi-packs).

Promising reviews: "This purchase is my second purchase, but this time for my 75-year-old mother. I loved this and have told anyone who will listen about it. This lotion is actually fully scent-free and really does an amazing job in helping with the crepey-looking skin on my arms and neck. I would try lotion after lotion and coconut oil, too, and they didn't help, but this stuff is sorcery. Thank you, Gold Bond!" —AmazonWendi

"This is one of my all-time favorite lotions. It is not greasy and absorbs well. I use it all over my body, including my neck. For a few weeks, I used this on one hand and not the other, and you could tell. I will never not have this lotion. Great thickness. Hardly any scent at all, which I like." —Can't Go Wrong with Fancy

Get it from Amazon for $9.59+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "First, let me say I LOVE THIS RING!!!! I wear it all the time. I've been wearing it for over a month now, and in the beginning, I tried to take it off when doing dishes, showering, and washing my hands. After about two weeks, I just decided to leave it on, and it has been fine. I never take it off; the ring is true to size. It's not too thin or thick, feels great on, and it is durable. The only con is that the stones can sometimes look cloudy. Other than that, I love it, couldn't be happier, it's great for the price, and I am very pleased." —tracy k revels

Get it from Amazon for $17.39+ (available in four colors and sizes 5–10). 

Each set comes with 28 nail strips, a nail file, a wooden cuticle stick, and a prep pad. If you do choose to cure with a UV/LED lamp, it only takes five seconds!

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Bek O'Connell has to say about these: "I struggle with stick-on nails because they always look too big and clunky (think: child with olives on their fingertips). I'm unwilling to file down my nail beds to get them to sit right, so I usually opt for traditional gel manicures, even though they're expensive. These strips are a fantastic replacement: They're affordable, easy to apply, and actually look like a real manicure. It's too cold to go outside without gloves right now, so I cured these with a UV lamp, and they came out great! If you have experience with stickers, you can master these — I believe in you!"

Promising review: "I am loving this brand! Beautiful color. Last for about 10 days before starting to chip. These don't snag in my hair either, like other brands I've tried. Fit great. Enough for two applications." —KAS

Get them from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 13 styles).

Note: this product includes only the gloves; you will need to use your favorite hand cream or lotion for moisturizing!

Promising reviews: "Nice quality of cotton, not too thin, not too thick. Just right for creamed hands to go inside, and yet air circulates. I have long fingers, and there is more than enough room for them. Comfortable to sleep wearing these gloves." —JB

"My initial impression is that the fit is satisfactory (the gloves are large for an average-sized man), but the fingers are too long. I wear them at night to moisturize my hands with petroleum jelly, and for this purpose, they work exceptionally well. I highly recommend them if your hands are extremely dry or you suffer from eczema." —John
