EDITOR'S NOTE

You might have seen the “five things worth the money” trend circulating around the internet, and we have to say, it’s one of our favorite trends to date. The reason? It’s not formulaic and there’s no one “right” answer. Here are the five things our editors think are worth every penny:

A dry shampoo that actually allows us to go longer in between washes.
A high-tech heating pad and massager in one. Bonus points: It’s FSA/HSA-eligible.
A red-light therapy mask that’s lightweight and flexible.
A giant claw clip that our editor can confirm won’t snap in half.
A triple exfoliator that’ll give you the results of a facial at home.
