Finding the perfect pair of headphones for working out can feel harder than learning to deadlift your own body weight. With so many options available, each catering to different workout styles, it’s important to choose wisely. Whether you’re a runner, a strength trainer, or someone who loves a good HIIT session, the right headphones can elevate your workout experience. “Having that immersive music that's helping drive whatever you're doing from a fitness perspective is incredibly important,” says Castel Valere-Couturier, chief experience officer at Sound Off, a tech company that facilitates silent fitness and wellness experiences—such as yoga, cycling, HIIT, mediation, and dance—with their wireless headphones.
Can You Moisturize Your Face Too Much?
As Derek Zoolander so eloquently once said, “Moisture is the essence of wetness and wetness is the essence of beauty.” Early-aughts pop culture references aside, there truly is no concept more highly regarded in the beauty world than moisturization. Cue images of celebs with glistening skin promoting their product lines, aisles upon aisles of hydrating serums, toners, and masks at Sephora, and even social media’s current obsession with Moo Deng the hippo’s dewy glow.

That’s why knowing the best time to buy a mattress, as far as annual sales are concerned, can be a godsend for both your wallet and your REM.
I’ve Used This Yoga Mat Every Day for the Last Year and Its Grip Does Not Quit
At-home yoga has been part of my daily routine for I don’t even know how long, and over the years, I’ve tried and loved lots of expert-approved yoga mats (hello, Lululemon’s The Mat, Manduka’s GRP Adapt Mat, and Alo’s Warrior Mat). But it’s been a struggle to find one that didn’t show obvious signs of wear and tear at the one-year mark.

SELF is wellness you can trust. We help people feel better. No matter the platform—website, Snapchat, newsletters, consumer products, events—our work reflects this service-driven mission and the core values of inclusivity, accuracy, and empathy. We recognize that wellness is as much about self-expression and self-compassion as it is about workout classes and healthy eating; that it’s not an all-or-nothing thing; and that every person’s individual goals for wellness are different, and that’s great.
It’s essential to note our commitment to transparency:
Our Terms of Use acknowledge that our services may not always be error-free, and our Community Standards emphasize our discretion in enforcing policies. As a platform hosting over 100,000 pieces of content published daily, we cannot pre-vet content, but we strive to foster a dynamic environment for free expression and robust discourse through safety guardrails of human and AI moderation.
