Add these game changers to your collection of face masks and bath bombs.

Of all the words that have entered the lexicon in the past few years, self-care is one clear winner. More and more, the world is understanding that prioritizing yourself and your own needs—committing to that weekly Pilates class or Sunday brunch ritual, or simply an hour of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing—isn’t indulgent. It’s actually something you need to be doing for the your mental and physical health.

As a versed self-care practitioner, you may feel like you’re all set with your self-care supplies, but there are always more great ones you can add to your arsenal. Whether you would love an outfit that makes you actually want to hit the gym or a candle for meaningful meditation, this list—available at Saks OFF 5TH—offers everything you need to boost your wellness from the inside out.

Sleeping in on a Saturday feels great no matter what, but wouldn’t it feel that much better in an actual matching set of PJs instead of your 15-year-old alumni shirt with holes in the armpits? With a button front, notched collar, and contrast piping, this comfy cotton blend is stylish enough to keep on for that morning coffee run.

It would be lovely to book a standing date with a professional masseuse, but since that’s not exactly realistic, consider this your next best option. With two different speed and heat settings (and attachments for your scalp and face), the solution to sore muscles is literally at your fingertips.

Filled with black obsidian and tiger’s eye crystals, this double-wicked, soy-based candle is meant to manifest feelings of tranquility while keeping out negative energy. It has invigorating fragrance notes of ginger and lemon too, making it a smart addition to any meditation or yoga session.

Trade those worn-out leggings for a pair of drawstring flares with chic ribbed cuffs. Available in three colors, they’ll add a bit of brightness to your regular walk or laptop work session on the couch. Bonus: side pockets that are deep enough to hold your phone, keys, and wallet.

Face the facts: Five skin-perfecting products is better than one. That’s why this quintet—including an overnight cream and mask, micro-spot serum, and cleaning foam—is the ultimate toolbox for the perfect visage.

Getting ready for work—or a much-needed night out—just hits different when you’re pampering yourself in this stretch knit robe. A hint of lace trim at the pocket and three-quarter sleeve will have you feeling your best even before you pick out your attire for the day.

Okay, you’re probably not going to lace up these leather and suede kicks for a run, but they can add a bit of fashion to your next restorative walk. Plus, seeing something truly beautiful on your feet will surely add some pep to your step.

Consider this gel face mask the cornerstone of your next evening of pampering. Infused with calendula and aloe and suitable for all skin types, it hydrates and refreshes in roughly five minutes—which leaves plenty of time for that DIY pedicure and deep-conditioning treatment.

Upgrade your slipper game. A definitively more fashion-forward take on those stretchy slides you wore in the early aughts, these faux fur, leather-lined sandals deliver style without sacrificing one iota of comfort. Check out the padded insoles.

Stash every last one of your must-haves in this perfectly sized nylon tote with luxe leather trim. You’ll give your back and shoulders a break while still retaining that designer pedigree.

This sleekly designed gadget hydrates the air (plus your skin, hair, nails, and sinuses) for up to seven continuous hours thanks to its USB-powered rechargeable battery. It even pulls triple-duty, working in tandem as a night light and wireless speaker to really set the vibe in your space.

Why wrap your feet in ordinary socks, when you can float on by in faux fur comfort? Ideal for everyday indulgence, these cozies will make you feel like you never got out of bed.
