The Black Mat Pro

Yoga’s supposed to be calming, but sliding off your sweaty mat is the opposite of relaxation. Never fear: Eco-conscious yoga gear company Manduka uses sustainable materials to make thick, non-slip mats that prevent your skin from sticking to their surfaces—and offers a lifetime guarantee. Look for the limited edition metallic versions from the Manduka Pro line.

Her homemade line includes everything from sunscreen to lip plumper, but our favorite is her salve for dry, cracked skin, made with shea butter and jojoba, coconut, and soybean oils.
