What are personal care products? With countless personal care products, how do you know where to begin? We spoke to our health and beauty experts at Laifen to learn how they go about prioritizing personal care products and to find out what they look for.
As a result, we've put together this guide, which includes six expert tips for choosing personal care products, which you can apply before buying any product relating to personal care.
1. Do you really know what you want?
The personal care gamut spans from skincare to hair care, so knowing what you want is crucial. It's not enough to think about what works for your bestie or to simply buy everything your favorite TikTok influencer recommends.
Instead, you need to start with what you actually want. What are you looking for from a personal care product? What do you want to achieve?
For instance, if you have dry hair, opting for a hydrating leave-in conditioner could be a good choice. Equally, changing your hair dryer to an ionic dryer, such as the Laifen Swift Special, can help, as it has adjustable heat settings that prevent your hair from drying out.
Always start with your personal care goals, and you can start looking for products that will help you achieve these targets.
2. Try to understand what personal care is
Personal care is an all-encompassing term that can mean very different things to different people. If you perform a quick Google search, you might think that personal care is all about skincare, but it's much more comprehensive than this.
In fact, we believe that personal care includes each of the following:
☑️ Haircare: Hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, styling products, styles, and more.
☑️ Dental care: Teeth and gum care, toothbrush, mouthwash, flossing options, orthodontic work (braces), and cosmetic dentistry.
☑️ Skincare: Body, hands, feet, and face, each requiring specialist products.
☑️ Body care: Preventing body odor, lymph care, and numerous other treatments and options.
☑️ Health and well-being: Diet, exercise, and regular health check-ups.
As you can see, personal care is so much more than just buying a skin cream!
You need to consider each of the above aspects of personal care and think about which products to buy to help you improve the way you look after yourself.
3. Budget, budget, and budget
You don't need to be a millionaire to treat yourself to a suite of personal care products. In fact, many of the best personal care products are available for a great price.
Just look at the Laifen Wave toothbrush as an example. Available from just $69.99, the Wave significantly improves how you look after your teeth and gums and is an affordable and effective way to reduce your dental bills in the long run.
With this in mind, put together a budget and consider which personal care products you can afford. Even if you have just $100 to spend, you can buy a good range of products that can transform the way you care for yourself, which can make a big difference to your quality of life.
4. Look for inspiration, you will love something
There are so many sources of inspiration when it comes to personal care. A great starting point is the Laifen Newsroom (link), where you will find expert personal care recommendations to help you look and feel your best.
We cover a broad range of personal care topics, from maintaining excellent oral hygiene to rocking the best hairstyle for your hair type.
Another great place for personal care inspiration is Instagram. Follow your favorite brands and influencers and consider the products they're using and how they fit in with your personal care goals. You can also use TikTok if you prefer a more engaging social media platform.
5. Read reviews never fade away
As there are so many personal care products out there, reading independent, verified reviews of products and services is so important. After all, you need to be confident in the product you're investing in.
Dig deep into the reviews that customers have left about the products you're interested in and consider whether they are positive or negative overall.
As a good starting point, you can read real, recent reviews of all Laifen products before buying on our website, which is a great way for you to find out about the product you're keen to buy.
6. Do not stop trying new things
Embracing new technology and trying new things can revolutionize your approach to personal care. New products arrive every year and help you to look after yourself in new and refreshing ways.
Trying new things is such a great way to take your personal care routine to the next level and can open your eyes to products and options that you have never tried until now.
Whether it's a brand-new oscillating toothbrush, like the Laifen Wave, or a world-class ionic hairdryer like the Laifen Swift Premium, trusting new technology to improve your personal care is easier than you think.
