Grooming essentials

A daily grooming routine, alongside regular spa visits, is very necessary in maintaining your beauty and hygiene.

With the right tools, it is easy to look like you have stepped out of a spa every single day. Ensure that your bathroom is stocked with some of these useful items for your daily grooming.

Toiletry bag/makeup bag

This bag carries all your beauty paraphernalia and keeps everything together so that you do not waste time looking for small things. It eases your packing whenever you travel, ensuring you have all the items you normally use.

Orange sticks

These are handy when you wish to remove stubborn gel polish at home. Simply scrape your nails after soaking for a gentle nail treatment. It is not advisable to use a metal cuticle pusher immediately after soaking nails in polish remover. Opt for an orange stick instead.

Loofah

This natural fibre sponge will remove dead skin from your entire body every day as it stimulates your circulation.

Pumice stone

Helps you take care of your feet in between pedicures by preventing cracks and dry dead skin. Give your feet a vigorous scrub at least once a week.

Buffers and nail files

We all know how irritating it is to have untidy nails. Keep them neat by buffing and filing as you watch television.

Eyebrow shaper

Use this handy tool to clean up your brows in between salon visits. It is safer to use than a razor blade.

Makeup sponges/brushes

A set of makeup applicators will go a long way in helping you achieve flawless makeup every day. Keep them clean to avoid skin breakouts.

Razor and hair remover:

Keep unwanted hair at bay with a depilation tool or cream.
