Beauty Product Recommendations From Athletes and Fitness Experts

Vaseline Original Healing Jelly [38] ($5)

Vaseline's perennial-favorite healing jelly got a major endorsement when former NFL defensive tackle Beau Allen went shirtless at the freezing Philadelphia Eagles game on Jan. 4, covering his torso in the product to stay warm. "I used it back when I was playing football," he tells Popsugar. "I never once wore sleeves during my playing career and I owe a lot of that to Vaseline."

Allen cites other benefits as well: "As a man in my 30s, I've gotten really into skin care. It's a great way to stay moisturized and keeps my skin healthy," he explains. "It makes your body glow and your arms look big." While our editors can't cosign the appearance of bigger arms, we can confirm the beauty buy locks in moisture, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and protects skin against the elements, including super-cold weather.

SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Glowing Radiance Bar [39] ($6)

You can't understate how important self-care is while playing sports or exercising. Basketball star Angel Reese [40] incorporates the SheaMoisture radiance bar into her regimen. "It keeps my skin feeling smooth, fresh, and glowing especially after long days where I'm constantly on the move," she says. "It's my little reset before the next thing on my calendar."

Aquaphor Lip Repair Lip Balm With Sunscreen [41] ($11)

Whether you're racing like Chloe Chambers [42] or engaging in any outdoor workout, Aquaphor comes in handy. "The worst feeling is having dry lips, especially when you're traveling in the really dry air and going to all these climates," says the F1 Academy driver. "You need a really good chapstick to keep your lips moisturized — and with SPF when it's sunny out."

Salt & Stone Deodorant [43] ($20)

Olympic gold medalist Alex Hall wears this award-winning, aluminum-free deodorant, which offers up to 48 hours of odor protection. The formula features prebiotics, spirulina, and niacinamide to support healthy skin while keeping odor in check. It comes in five scents, including warm, woody Santal & Vetiver — Hall's favorite.

Slip Pure Silk Pillowcase [44] ($115)

Believe it or not, the right pillowcase can make or break your beauty routine. A cotton option can strip your face of moisture, while silk and satin materials keep the skin nourished and hydrated. For that reason, Olympic gymanst Suni Lee [45] swears by the Slip Pure Silk Pillowcase, and even keeps one at home and another at school. "The silk material helps to keep my hair looking the best in the morning and absorbs much less of my nighttime skin routine, which is important, because I do kind of lie there a lot on my face," she says. See why our editor says it's worth the hype in our Slip Pure Silk Pillowcase review [46].

Editor Quote: "The 100 percent silk pillowcase completely eliminates my bedhead and has improved the health of both my skin and my hair. [...] Ordinary cotton pillowcase can pull moisture and skincare products away from your skin, while silk pillowcases keep your hydration where it belongs — on your face." — Sarah Siegel, former assistant beauty editor

Fitness Product Recommendations From Athletes and Fitness Experts

Fit Simplify Resistance Loop Exercise Bands [47] ($10)

Pro tennis player Tommy Paul [48] is a fan of these bestselling loop exercise bands. Compact for travel and easy to store, the exercise bands are a convenient way to add more resistance to your strength-training routine. "You can grab them pretty much anywhere, and they're unreal for warming up before practices or matches," Paul shared. "Honestly, it can be harder than the actual lift itself."

Pro-Tec Athletics The Orb Massage Ball [49] ($16)

As a tennis legend, Venus Williams [50] has a tried-and-true process for recovery — one that involves her go-to Pro-Tec Athletics The Orb Massage Ball. She regularly uses it on her calves as well as "a nice trigger point on the back." What's more, she loves that the ball is compact and easy to travel with, whether she's on vacation or at a tournament overseas.

Ewedoos Eco-Friendly Yoga Mat [51] ($33)

Pro-surfer Tia Blanco [52] is also a yoga fanatic, and this eco-friendly yoga mat, made from recyclable material, is her exercise tool of choice. "I love this mat because it's not only affordable but also has amazing grip so that I can push myself in the poses," she says. It also has a center line, which allows you to double-check your form as you cycle through poses.

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag [53] ($38)

The viral Lululemon belt bag has a fan in Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby [54]. It's roomy enough to hold your essentials but not unwieldy and inconvenient during workouts like hiking, walking, and even biking. "You can put so much of what you need in there and just hit it," says Rigsby. Read our review of the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag [55] for more details.

Editor Quote: "The Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag is best for those who want a compact, hands-free alternative to a purse. The design lends itself to a casual–cool 'fit that's perfect for people who are always on the go yet want to look chic and stay organized all the while." — Marisa Petrarca, former contributing shopping editor

Arebesk Moto Assorted 2-Pack [56] ($38)

If you're looking for a pair of toe socks for Pilates, Peloton instructor Robin Arzón [57] recommends this pair from Arebesk. They feature no-slip pads to ensure a firm grip as you move.

Athleta Interval Stash Legging [58] ($50, originally $109)

When Jennifer Aniston's trainer Dani Coleman [59] is ready to work out, she reaches for these Athleta leggings. "[I] love the support these provide to carry me through any workout format I am teaching or training in," she tells Popsugar. The leggings boast medium-to-high compression and a no-slip fit to ensure they stay in place while you're moving.

Nike Zenvy Women's High-Waisted 7/8 Leggings [60] ($73, originally $100)

Ahead of the Winter Games, Olympic alpine skier Lindsey Vonn shared a training video [61] wearing these Nike leggings, captioned, "I'm not giving up." In the clip, Vonn is shown weight training, and the leggings appear to stay comfortably in place throughout the workout.

Nike Pegasus 41 [62] ($113, originally $145)

Pro snowboarder Chloe Kim [63] recently fell in love with running, and she grabs the Nike Pegasus 41 sneaker before hitting the pavement. She loves that the sneakers have responsive cushioning to help protect from shin splits as well as a lightweight, breathable mesh upper.

Adidas Dropset 4 Power Training Shoes [64] ($140)

There's a lot to be said about the shoes you train in, but when Olympic alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin does it . . . it suddenly feels different. Like they come with an A+ stamp of approval. We scrolled through her Instagram and spotted her [65] training in these orange power shoes — and immediately thought, "Do we need these for ourselves?"

Bose QuietComfort Headphones [66] ($229, originally $349)

The bestselling Bose QuietComfort headphones come highly recommended by both tennis star Coco Gauff [67] and Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez [68]. The headphones feature noise cancellation, pristine sound, and three unique modes for customization. "I love listening to music and blocking out noise, so having a good pair of headphones is essential for me, especially with all the traveling I do," shares Gauff. Hernandez notes that the headphones "are waterproof and soundproof, and I feel like as long as I've got them on, everything's going to be fine."

Wellness Product Recommendations From Athletes and Fitness Experts

Hydro Flask Stainless-Steel Water Bottle [69] ($32, originally $45)

Though the water bottle wars persist, water polo star Ashleigh Johnson [70] counts one brand above the rest. Hydro Flask "keeps the water cold and is easy to carry around," she says. She loves it so much, she has several in constant rotation. "I keep one in my car, one in my house, I'll take one to practice," she says. "But I always have one with me, because hydration is key. I can feel it in my body when I'm dehydrated and I know I'm not training at the level that I need to be and I'm definitely not recovering at the level I want to be."

Nodpod Gentle Pressure Sleep Mask [71] ($38)

The Nodpod Gentle pressure sleep mask is a bestseller for a reason; just ask Peloton instructor Jess Sims [72]. "I love a cold room with this weighted sleep mask . . . to help me relax," she tells Popsugar. "It's like a warm hug and gets me ready for my sleep meditation, and I average over eight hours of sleep, so take it from me." The sleep mask blocks out light and offers soft weighted pressure for soothing comfort. Read why one editor fights with her husband over who gets to use it in our Nodpod Gentle Pressure Sleep Mask review [73].

Editor Quote: "The NodPod is best for those looking to level up their sleep routine by blocking out light and promoting relaxation. Whether you're already a fan of weighted blankets, white noise machines and other sleep products or brand-new to the category entirely, it might just surprise you as much as it did my husband and I." — Murphy Moroney, former associate family editor

Drink LMNT Zero Sugar Electrolytes [74] ($45)

Hydration is key, and soccer star Brianna Pinto [75] takes it to another level with these bestselling electrolytes. "I add LMNT Electrolytes to my water bottle to ensure that I regulate and retain fluids in my body," she says, revealing that Mango Chilli is her preferred flavor.

Sidekick Echo Muscle Scraper [76] ($135) & Sidekick Eclipse Muscle Scraper [77] ($119)

Olympic marathoner Emily Sisson [78] uses Sidekick scrapers for massages, targeting her "lower legs and feet" and around her "quads and hamstrings, too," she says. The travel-size tools, which can be used with lotion or Sidekick Pump Gel [79] ($12, originally $17), are great for boosting collagen activity and increasing blood flow after running.

Hatch Restore 3 Sunrise Alarm Clock [80] ($170)

The Hatch Restore Sound Machine continues to be a social-media favorite, and tennis star Naomi Osaka [81] promises it's worth the praise. It features science-backed sleep sounds, customizable light, and an alarm that mimics a natural sunrise. "Since I travel so much — [often] traveling through different time zones — maintaining a regular sleep schedule can be tricky," Osaka tells Popsugar. "The Hatch Restore Machine helps aid me in unwinding and having a long, restful sleep." Our editor called it the "ultimate wake-up tool" in her review of the Hatch Restore Machine [82].

Editor Quote: "I set my alarm to go off automatically at 7:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, and sure enough, I've woken peacefully every day at that time. Hatch's sunrise alarm (which you can alter the color of) slowly rises as the sun would, and you can choose from a list of sounds to gently wake you. I've really enjoyed this feature for kick-starting my day, as it doesn't feel as intense as a typical alarm does.

Additionally, I've enjoyed Hatch's light for falling asleep at night. The app allows you to choose your desired brightness and color, and personally, I love using it as a reading light. Every now and then, I'll use its sound machine to create a light drizzle of rain to doze off to as well, which I've also appreciated." — Haley Lyndes, shopping staff writer

Oura Ring [83] ($349)

The popular fitness tracker [84] has some pretty notable endorsements, including F1 Academy driver Chloe Chambers [85] and F1 driver Pierre Gasly [86].

In addition to heart health, activity, and stress, Chambers loves that it monitors sleep. "When you're changing time zones [and have] early mornings or late nights at track, it's good to know how much sleep you've had," she says. Gasly checks his Oura score as soon as he wakes up. "I love the data it gives and provides on recovery. I try to challenge myself to improve my sleep quality because recovery is so important in sports. Since I started using it, I can see my yearly average is improving. It's definitely essential," he shares. Get more details in one editor's Oura Ring 3 review [87].

Editor Quote: "I really like my Oura Ring. I find the data very helpful, and it lets me know how to make minor tweaks to support my overall health and wellness goals. It's not going to tell you anything unprecedented; after a turbulent red-eye last night, it's no wonder my sleep score was abysmal, and I've had lots of coffee to keep up. But, for someone that generally leads a healthy lifestyle or is looking for clues to improve their everyday habits like sleep and movement, I'd highly recommend the Oura Ring." — India Yaffe, former associate shopping editor

Higherdose Infrared Sauna Blanket [88] ($699)

Former Peloton instructor Kendall Toole [89] is all about heat therapy, and the Higherdose Infrared Sauna Blanket lets her experience the benefits — like sweating out impurities and increasing blood flow — without having to go to a sauna. "I love the benefits of a sauna but can't always get to one in-person, so this at-home sauna blanket from Higherdose has been a great solution for me," she says. "You can relax and wind down from a busy, stressful day, and I can speak firsthand to its mood-boosting and sleep benefits." Our editor raved about the product in her Higherdose Infrared Sauna Blanket review [90].

Editor Quote: "I felt rejuvenated — like I'd had the perfect cup of mood-boosting coffee. My muscles also felt less tense. And, yes, I still got a satisfying sweat." — Angelica Wilson, former associate fitness editor
