Like pretty much everyone in America, I’ve been a slave to Daddy Bezos for as long as I can remember. I know it’s bad, but I love my Amazon Prime account. I use it for almost everything, from at home beauty hacks to home decor to date night supplies. After tons of trial and error, disappointing buys, and wasted money, I’ve developed my list of Amazon must haves that I always repurchase. So if you’re looking for inspiration, these are my top 10 Holy Grail Amazon hair, beauty and skincare products that I would buy again and again! If you only buy ten things from Amazon in 2020, these are my recommendations.
Here are my top 10 Amazon Must Haves for 2020

1. Baby Foot Peel Mask
I know everyone talks about these masks, but they do it for good reason. I have been #blessed with gross, calloused feet for my whole life, and this baby foot peel mask is perfect for making my feet actually soft again. I love this one because it’s a two pack, so you get more for your money. It’s also super gross and actually works.
Soak your feet in the bath for a few days leading up to it to get your skin soft so it peels better. If you didn’t plan in advance, just do for an hour or so the day of and you’ll be fine. I highly recommend waiting to use this at a time when no one is going to see your feet for a couple weeks, cause they will shed like a snake and it will be gnarly. In my opinion it makes it the perfect Amazon must have for quarantine!
2. Crest Whitestrips
Whitestrips have long since been a beauty staple. They’re easily available, generally affordable, and they work! These Whitestrips are my favorite because they come with 2 bonus one-hour express treatments, which I love for when I feel like I need a last-minute boost. And I love buying them on Amazon because I feel like you can get a better deal than if you went to the drugstore or the supermarket.
3. Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask
This face mask is another cult classic Amazon must have. I finally gave in and bought it, but for the first few weeks I was pretty unimpressed. Then I saw a TikTok on Amazon hacks that suggested mixing it in with apple cider vinegar instead of water and let me tell you: Game. Changer. I know they suggest to do that right on the tub, but I hate the smell of ACV and was hoping to get the benefits without having to use it.
Apple cider vinegar really is the secret sauce for this stuff though. Without it, the clay mixes together clumpy and never seems to get smooth. Mixing with ACV, the mask takes on this beautiful whipped texture that’s a dream to apply. My pro tip? Mix a drop or two of essential oil (not too much!) in with the mask to help cover up the ACV stink. Second pro tip? A little goes a long way with this, and the jar should last you literally forever.
4. Silicone Face Mask Brush
I was weirdly stumped on how to apply that face mask until I came across these Silicone Face Brushes on Amazon. I snatched them up and turns out, they were the perfect solution. They’re great for mixing face masks, lotions, or any other skincare product. Plus, they’re insanely easy to clean, and there are no bristles to get mask all stuck in. They’re a no-brainer, so affordable, and so cute — you need to add them to your next Amazon purchase!
5. Simple Face Wipes
Rounding out the whole face mask journey are these Simple Sensitive Skin Facial Cleansing Wipes. I have super problematic skin that’s dry in some areas and an oil slick in others, and I never know what’s going to break me out next. These face wash wipes never irritate my skin and are perfect for removing makeup, or just for those lazy days when you don’t want to go through your full skincare routine. I also love these for removing the Aztec clay mask so you don’t clog your drain with clay!
6. Three Barrel Hair Waver
Hair crimping and hair waving have been making a huge comeback these days and I am HERE. FOR. IT. I’ve seen a ton of reviews for different three barrel irons at different price points, but my advice? Don’t overcomplicate it. I used this three barrel waver from Amazon to get perfectly wavy hair and I absolutely love it. It’s affordable, easy to use, and gets the job done just as good as any of them!
7. Self Tanner Back Applicator
As fun as it is to waddle out of your bathroom naked begging your partner to apply self tanner to your back, sometimes you just don’t want to need 2 people for a one person job. That’s where this self tanner back applicator comes into play. I bought mine three years ago and I still use it every single time I self tan. It works with lotions, mousses, and even liquids! It’s so easy to use: just apply your tanner to the center of it, hold it by the handles, and slide it around your back like a cartoon character drying off from the shower. Flawless self tanner on your back every time!
8. LED Vanity Lights
This one is kind of a sleeper, but after having them in my bathroom for a few months they’ve become my latest Amazon must have. The bathroom in my apartment is super dark, with only one overhead light. I tried to live with it for a while, but the amount of times I left my house thinking my makeup was blended only to find out how horrifically wrong I was once I stepped into the daylight had me thinking I needed a solution. Enter these renter-friendly LED Vanity Lights. I applied them around my mirror in my bathroom and I could see again! It was glorious. I plug them in every time I put makeup on and I can finally trust that my makeup is going to look right when I leave the house.
My favorite part about these is that they’re totally dimmable! So while they definitely get bright enough to light up your whole bathroom, you can also hold down the power button and dim them down to a mood light that’s perfect for a relaxing bath.
9. Eucalyptus Shower Spray
This one is another sleeper I was gifted a while back that has now become a must have. I’m sure everyone has heard of the self care hack to hang eucalyptus on your shower head to make your shower smell nice, but like, who has the time? This Eucalyptus Shower Spray turns every shower into a spa experience without actually having to buy the plant.
All you do is spray one or two sprays onto the floor of the shower while the water is heating up and you’ll instantly have a beautiful smelling, steamy spa experience in the comfort of your own home. This stuff lasts forever, too. I even use a bit of it in my humidifier to freshen up my bedroom now and then!
10. Rael Acne Pimple Healing Patches
If you, like me, have been blessed with a life of never-ending and uncontrollable barrage of acne long into your adult years, I would like to introduce you to my Amazon holy grail product. This is my number one Amazon must have, the only product on my subscribe and save, and the one thing in my bathroom I make sure I have stocked every single day. You need this product.
I have tried every hydrocolloid pimple patch on the market. Really, I have. These Rael Acne Healing Patches are the best ones, and it is not close. They’re the closest to “invisible” of any pimple patch out there. The edges are thin and blend into your skin. They stick on ANYTHING, even the oiliest skin. I can’t believe how many acne patches I’ve tried where you put them on a pimple, go to bed, and wake up with an even bigger pimple because you realize the patch slid off your face in the night and stuck itself to your pillow instead.
Above all, these work. They clear up pimples overnight. They stop me from touching and picking at my face during the day. They come in two sizes and plenty of packs to make sure you have as many as you need. If you buy ten things from Amazon in 2020, buy all of these. If you buy one thing from Amazon, buy this.
Those are my absolute favorite, holy grail Amazon must haves for 2020. Thanks for reading, and I hope you try them out and find something you love as much as I do!
