Editor Recs
Whether you’re focused on getting in your steps or making sure you sleep efficiently, the right wellness products can make all the difference. However, the health space is quite oversaturated, so it can be hard to figure out which items are the real deal and which are just convincing phonies. That’s why our team of hard-working editors at CNN Underscored is always on the lookout for the newest items that are actually worth your money and sure to genuinely improve your life.
We gathered our favorite wellness products — from an eye massager that has diminished one editor’s post-workday eye strain to a grip strength trainer that has helped a writer relieve his tendinitis pain — that are worth every penny. Here’s what we’ve been using to keep up with our self-care habits and fitness routines.
DoTerra Deep Blue Stick
Whether my shoulders are sore from carrying a heavy bag while commuting or my legs need a bit of relief after a long run, this essential oil pain-relief stick helps temporarily assuage my various aches and pains. It doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy or slimy, so it’s easy to apply before bed or in the middle of the day. I also love the minty, refreshing scent (thanks to the peppermint and wintergreen oils in the formula), and it’s a consistent part of my self-care routine. — Ellen McAlpine, updates writer
