If you’re anything like me, your bathroom is probably overrun with a vast assortment of odd beauty products. Need a blue eyeliner for a dress-up party? You’ve got one. Run out of shampoo? That’s fine; you have a bunch of samples. But what happens when you encounter real beauty dilemmas? Let me introduce the beauty essentials every girl needs. They aren’t always pretty, but trust me, you’ll be glad to have them…
1) Scholl Blister Shield Plasters
For high heel lovers, the occasional blister is inevitable. Luckily, these advanced blister protection plasters have got you covered. Utilising dual layer Hydra-Guard™ technology, the hard outer shield protects and guards the formed blister from fiction and rubbing, while the soft gel island provides cushioning and most importantly, pain relief.
2) Vagisil feminine powder
We’ve all been there – a long walk on a hot day in a less-than-appropriate outfit and voila, chafing. Fortunately, this 100 per cent talc free powder will absorb excess moisture, soothing your skin in no time. Containing a special natural emollient, it also helps prevent further irritation so you can keep moving pain-free.
3) Bump eRaiser Medi Paste
Ingrown hairs can be one of the most frustrating beauty concerns, but did you know there are products specially designed to treat them? This highly concentrated spot treatment is scientifically-formulated with salicylic acid, tea tree oil and vitamin A to draw out infection from ingrowns without causing trauma to your skin. For rapid results, apply a band-aid over the area to speed up the healing process.
4) LANOLIPS Lovely Lanolin Herbal Treatment Body Oil
In an ideal world, you wouldn’t ever get sunburnt. However, most of us have been caught out without our SPF at least once and when it happens, your average soothing lotion just doesn’t cut it. A sunburnt skin savoir, this body oil’s rich, nourishing formula contains eucalyptus and pine oils to soothe and reduce irritation, leaving skin feeling ultra-hydrated.
5) BIODROGA Spa Sensation Anti-Cellulite Cream
You probably already possess a range of body moisturisers, but have you considered one that also works to combat cellulite? Containing a number of active ingredients, this powerful cream encourages the natural purification and metabolic processes of the skin, resulting in a smoother skin texture without the need for invasive treatments.
