I’ve reached the age where my idea of treating myself includes massage guns, red light therapy, retinol and anything promising to make my back feel less like I’ve been sitting at a computer since the invention of ‘The Sims.’ That said, Amazon’s Prime Day is here and I found discounts of up to 54% on some of my favorite wellness finds across recovery for lower back pain, relief for achy wrists, anti-aging skin care, sleep aid, oral hygiene and more. The even better news is that I actually tried every wellness product on this list, so these aren’t random deals I pulled from the depths of Amazon. They’re products I own, have personally vetted or, in a few cases, tried and will probably be adding to my cart myself. Think of this as your Saturday-night-in essentials kit.
Prices change quickly on Prime Day, so keep checking back to see the latest updates. Make sure to sign up for an Amazon Prime account to get the best deals.
This deep tissue massage gun has heat (32% off)
Truth be told, I don’t own this one … yet. But I recently got the chance to try this massage gun at a friend’s house, and it’s already sitting in my cart waiting for that 32% Prime Day discount to hit. This thing has some serious power on the higher settings, and the assortment of attachments gave me plenty of options for getting at different spots. After trying it once, I didn’t need much convincing to add it to my own recovery lineup.
Promising review: "OMG! it's definitely worth the money. I think i would give it 20 stars... I have back and leg issues. I had him use it on my back and I feel so much better. Think I'm going to buy another one for his team-mate/ daughter's boyfriend for Christmas" — Jay Downing
The hand massager bringing my carpal tunnel sweet relief (15% off)
Promising review: "The intensity level is perfect, and it’s highly effective. The size, durability, noise level, and comfort are all excellent. I often fall asleep with it on my hand. Every aspect works great for me, making it a must-have for anyone needing hand relief." — Monique Corley
A 7-in-1 red light therapy mask that covers your face and neck (15% off)
What sets this red light therapy mask apart from other options on the market is that it covers your neck, an area that’s usually neglected despite being just as exposed as your face — and, frankly, often a dead giveaway when it comes to premature signs of aging. It has seven different light modes designed for a range of skin care concerns, while the flexible silicone construction helps it fit more closely against both your face and neck.
It’s 54% off for Prime Day, which is one of the steeper discounts I’ve spotted in the red light arena.
Promising review: "I have been on a search to find help with wrinkles and fine lines since I have lost weight and am older. Before having an expensive face lift I decided to try light therapy. The pluses that I appreciate about this mask, is its light weight silicone design, and the way it contours to your face and neck. It has 7 different color light therapies for various skin functions. I use the red light and blue light the most. The blue light is for skin metabolism. I like the ease of using the remote control to change the light therapies and intensity of the light... I have noticed some subtle changes around my mouth and cheeks, in two weeks" — Charles Lott
The Allevared red light therapy belt designed to help relieve pain (30% off)
Promising review: "The belt is soft, flexible, and wraps comfortably around the waist without digging in. The velcro holds it firmly in place, so you can sit on the couch or relax in bed without having to hold it against your skin. It gives off a gentle, soothing warmth that feels great on stiff muscles, and the controls are straightforward to click through and set.
The cord could be a little longer if you want to move around freely, but it works fine as long as you are seated near an outlet or using an extension cord.
Overall, it is very well made, simple to use, and has become a regular part of my evening routine to unwind and relieve soreness." — Mike Schon
The Philips Sonicare 5950 electric toothbrush for pearly whites (41% off)
Promising review: "I love my Philips electric toothbrush! It leaves my teeth feeling incredibly clean and smooth, just like I’ve had a professional cleaning. It’s easy to use, gentle on my gums, and the battery lasts a long time. I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it!" — Lori Price
The Nodpod weighted sleep mask that delivers gentle pressure for added comfort (20% off)
Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair retinol face moisturizer for anti-aging skin care (46% off)
Promising review: "I've been really happy with this moisturizer. It goes on smoothly and absorbs well without leaving my skin feeling greasy. I like that it combines retinol with a moisturizer, making it easy to add to my daily skincare routine. The hyaluronic acid also helps keep my skin feeling hydrated. Overall, a great product and easy to use consistently." — Andrew P.
Solawave’s soothing 4-in-1 red light therapy facial wand for moisture and depuffing (30% off)
Promising review: "excellent device for super dry skin. Used every other day on face, neck, and hands. crepey wrinkly tops of hands became smooth and hydrated in a week as well as age spots have lightened." — Leeloo
