13 Brilliant Self-Care Products Oprah Swears By

by Alida Nugent

If you're as big of a fan of Oprah Winfrey as I am, you're probably sad that her show isn't on anymore. Now there's no chance we can score tickets and get tons of free stuff during her incredible "favorite things" audience giveaways. But, don't worry — you can still get a fill of some of her favorite things. Some of the brilliant self-care products that Oprah loves are actually pretty easy to find on Amazon.

I myself tend to gravitate towards the self-care products Oprah recommends, simply because Oprah's the reigning expert on that. After all, she's built her career on teaching the world to look inward, and to nurture and care for ourselves so we can all become better people. Her tokens of wisdom over the years have inspired so many over the years.

So, trusting her knowledge about products that will relax your mind, body, and soul seems like a wise idea. From creams to coloring books, there's no facet of self-care Oprah hasn't thought of. Unfortunately, there's no bread on this list, but I assume you can enjoy any of these self-care items (all from her favorite things roundups from the last few years) with a crusty French baguette.

Oprah has a lot to say about this product: "It's just incredible! Founder Gloria Williams and I sniffed so many scents before settling on rose and rose-lime." The kit comes with a rose-scented foot cream, rose-lime soaking salts, a pair of cozy socks for relaxing, and a pair of cotton socks for soaking that cream in. Take 20 minutes at the end of a long day on your feet, and you're sure to see a big difference.
