Rest, relaxation, and self-care are essential to your well-being both inside and out of work, so don’t forget to bring along a few special toiletries and beauty tools next time you’re out of town for work. Even if you’re leaving in a couple of days, Amazon has tons of helpful accessories that you can have delivered nearly anywhere.

From oral health and skincare to pure relaxation, these five items will help you put your best foot forward no matter where you are. And when you’re feeling pampered and rejuvenated from your at-home spa experience, you’ll be ready to hustle on your business trip.

Hotel baths can be hit or miss, but a comfy bath pillow will make any tub feel luxurious. You won’t have to rest your head or neck on cold tile anymore, so you can truly recline and relax while enjoying a glass of wine, a good book, or even your own company. This is your time, so it should be as serene and enjoyable as possible.
Whether you’ll be standing in front of a crowd or sitting in the audience, feeling your best starts with looking your best. If you feel comfortable with grooming your own eyebrows, touching up any stray hairs can be one small action to make a huge difference in how you feel. These tweezers will be the perfect tool for the job, though they’ll also be great for hair (or splinter) removal nearly anywhere on the body. You never know when you may need them!
If your conference or business trip includes meals, meetings, or other activities in close proximity to others, you’ll want to make extra effort to freshen your breath. Mouthwash, mints, and gum will be great for during the day, but this tongue scraper will be your saving grace in the morning and at nighttime. When you’re done brushing your teeth, just run this tool over your tongue, then go!
Skin moisturizer? Hair tamer? Lip balm? Coconut oil is all of this and more, especially if you like to be creative when whipping up homemade beauty products. Whether you mix it or use it as it is, fractionated coconut oil makes a great substitute for any skin-safe oil. There are so many uses for this versatile product, so go crazy!
After spending all day in your work shoes, your feet will be in need of a little love and care. Whether or not you opt for a warm soak in the tub to give your piggies a break, a rejuvenating foot mask like this will be exactly what you need to relax. Your skin will feel soft, supple, and moisturized, too—a great tool for anyone with cracked heels or dry skin!

When you’re taking care of yourself, you can better take care of your work, too. This is just one reason why it’s so important to make time to relax and recharge, especially after a long day of travel or business. Self-care can have social aftereffects, too, so these products may be just what you need if you’re feeling nervous about a meeting or conference. Plus, you deserve it!

Whichever part of your body needs some extra TLC, now is the time to indulge. Don’t stop yourself from investing in yourself with some self-care, even if you need to make a purchase. Amazon has a wide selection of items at great prices—just like these—and they’ll be at your door before you know it. Could it get any better?
