Refinery29’s Lifestyle & Wellbeing Products of 2024

Dr. Teal’s Sleep Spray

"As a person who has never been good at sleeping in my life, I’ve tried truly everything to help me sleep — pills, routines, essential oils, deep breathing — you name it, I’ve tried it. So when I came across the Dr. Teal’s Sleep Spray, I had relatively low hopes. That is, until I sprayed it. The combination of melatonin, chamomile, and lavender is so intoxicatingly calming it nearly knocked me out on the spot. Though I can’t say if it’s doing anything scientifically speaking or just pure placebo, spraying a bit of this on my pillow each night makes me feels like I’m sleeping at the most luxurious, indulgent spa. This decadent (and inexpensive) spray has become an absolute essential in my nighttime self-care routine." — Hannah Rimm, Senior Life Editor

Dr. Teal's Dr Teal's Sleep Spray, $7.49, available at Ulta Beauty.

Quiet Mind Weighted Pillow

"I have to be honest, even as a diehard wellness enthusiast with depression and anxiety, I’ve never loved a weighted blanket. I move too much in my sleep and when I lie on the couch that I’ve found them more restricting than comforting. But, I did always love the calming effect. Enter: Quiet Mind — a weighted pillow that gives the same anxiety relief without the restriction. I love how compact and huggable the pillow is and it’s great for everything from meditation to watching TV. I especially like to have it on my lap for a long day of work from home meetings and editing. In fact, it’s on my lap as I type this — and man do I feel calm, comforted, and focused." — HR

Quiet Mind The Original Weighted Pillow, $179.00, available at Quiet Mind.

Reusable Hand Soap

"I finally replaced all my hand soap and dish soap bottles with reusable ones from Target like this faux ceramic one for our bathroom and this oil can style for our hand and dish soap on the kitchen sink. For refills, we usually grab Target's Everspring hand soap and dish soap refills since they come in a low waste packages, but when those are out of stock there are a million online retailers with similar refill packaging. We save money and we’re not going through tons of plastic bottles every year." — Kelsea Stahler, Content Director

Threshold Modern Resin Soap Pump Sand - Threshold™, $10.00, available at Target.

Caudalie Smooth & Glow Elixir

"I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this product, especially since it claims to hydrate your hair and your body (I’m not a huge fan of two-in-one products). But as soon as I put it on I was blown away. It’s lightweight but still very hydrating and is also perfect as a finishing touch on a sleek blowout or smoothing away those flyaways. The scent is fresh for summer, has a calming effect that adds a subtle glow to the skin and overall makes me feel luxurious and. At around $50 a bottle it’s the perfect product to add into your self-care routine." — Cortni Spearman, Director of Social

Caudalie Moisturizing Fig Body Oil Elixir, $49.00, available at Sephora.

Allies of Skin Multi Peptides & GF Advanced Lifting Serum 

"The Allies of Skin formula is packed with nutrients to help make your skin look visibly smoother and radiant and I’m always looking for products that help me feel like my best self. Though on the expensive side, it is absolutely worth the price tag and has become essential to my wellness routine." — CS

Allies Of Skin Allies of Skin Multi Peptides Serum, $188.00, available at Allies of Skin.
