Choosing the right personal care products can help to improve your health, well-being, and personal hygiene. But with so many products on the market, how do you choose the best products?
We enlisted the help of our styling experts to recommend five essential products everyone should add to their personal care routines. We then asked them to give us a few non-essential items for men and women that you can also turn to if you want to take your personal care to the next level.
What are the personal care products everyone should have?
While personal care is down to personal preferences, there are several essentials we believe everyone should have. To keep things simple, we asked Laifen experts for their personal care products list they simply couldn't go without:
1. An electric toothbrush
Top of our list is an electric toothbrush. Looking after your teeth is perhaps the number one priority when it comes to personal care, and an electric toothbrush is the best way to protect your teeth and gums in the long run.
The Laifen Wave electric toothbrush can oscillate and vibrate simultaneously, helping you to get to hard-to-reach areas in your mouth and remove stubborn bacteria and plaque. The ergonomic design makes it easy to use and portable, meaning you can take it with you when you're on the move.
According to our experts, an electric toothbrush should be number one on any personal care products list.

2. An ionic hair dryer
Hair styling is another integral aspect of personal care, so having the best hair dryer will help to dry your hair quickly and efficiently. Specifically, an ionic hair dryer uses negative ions to dry your hair thoroughly without overdrying it.
At Laifen, we have four ionic dryers in our lineup to suit all budgets - the Laifen Swift, the SE, the Laifen Swift Special, and the Laifen Swift Premium.
Our hair dryers are portable, easy to use, and eco-friendly. Whichever you choose, a Laifen dryer can help you achieve a salon-grade blow dry at home.

3. A moisturizer
We could easily write an entire article about the best skincare products on the market, but at the very least, you need to invest in a moisturizer if you're serious about personal care.
As there are so many moisturizers out there, we recommend a light serum as opposed to a heavy, oil-based product. Lightweight moisturizers are hydrating and nourishing and are great at protecting your skin from drying out.
You can even supplement your moisturizer with body butter and a hand cream if you suffer from particularly dry skin in different parts of your body.
4. A deodorant
Keeping body odor at bay is a non-negotiable when it comes to personal care, which is why our experts have included a deodorant in our essential list.
You can opt for a spray-on, roll-on, or even a deodorant cream to stave off body odor, but you need to go for a deodorant that has antiperspirant properties for the best results.
5. A leave-in conditioner
In the past decade, the number of leave-in conditioners available has revolutionized haircare. Available as creams and serums, leave-in conditioners nourish and replenish the natural oils in your hair and prevent your locks from drying out.
We recommend looking for a natural conditioner with ingredients like jojoba oil or coconut oil for its hydrating properties. Apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner each day before bed and marvel at the results it will have on your hair over time!
As personalized hair care products go, a leave-in conditioner is one of the best ways to hydrate your hair.
Non-essential items to add to your personal care routine
If you want to take things to the next level as far as personal care is concerned, here are some other items that our experts recommend for both men and women:
Men's personal care products
-
Hair pomade: We recommend a hair pomade to style your hair like a pro. Pomade is great for holding your hair in place and is typically longer lasting than wax or gel.
-
Sensitive steel blade razor: Shaving is a key element of any man's personal care routine, so you need to invest in a high-quality razor. We recommend a product described as "sensitive" as it reduces the likelihood of accidental cuts and delivers a smooth shave every time.
-
Aftershave: While not every guy uses aftershave, we recommend it for your pores after shaving. You can opt for scented or unscented aftershave, but it's super important for keeping your skin healthy if you shave regularly.
Women's personal care products
-
Sea salt spray: Sea salt spray is something of a wonder product, as it helps you to achieve a stunning textured hairstyle with minimal effort. If you have long, wavy hair, sea salt spray is a great addition to your hair styling routine.
-
Body butter: Our experts swear by the healing and nourishing effects of body butter, particularly brands that contain natural, soothing oils. Body butter is thicker than most moisturizers and is great for targeting areas of dry skin on different parts of your body. If you apply body butter after a soothing bath, you will notice impressive results.
-
Perfume: Your scent helps to define your personality, so choosing a suitable perfume is key to personal care. As you know, there are so many perfume brands out there, so we recommend a tip to a store to try before you buy. Whether you're looking for something subtle or seductive, there's a scent out there for every woman.
Conclusion
When choosing personal care brand products, you should think about what you're trying to achieve. Our experts have listed five essential products above that we believe everyone should have, but our non-essential items for both men and women can also help to improve your personal health and well-being.
So, you're now ready to add our recommended beauty and personal care products to your bathroom cabinet to improve the way you look after yourself!
