Hi, I just want to kindly ask what hygiene products to use? Preferably european and cheap, don’t care if they are advertising it to men, women, or like unisex or whatever just would like something that works. Idk where to ask, just I as a kid I kinda neglected hygiene and would like some recommendations, also this Philips oneblade was honestly worth buying for me, kinda expansive but worth it :3

    I’ll make some general recommendations based on your picture. I mostly try to buy Canadian products though, so I won’t give any specific recommendations since you wanted European stuff.

    For hair, you want separate shampoo and conditioner. A good shampoo is going to wash away everything in your hair, conditioner included, so combining them into one product is never any good. If you have wavy or curly hair, look into the curly girl technique for general hair care recommendations.

    For skin care, my routine is:

    • face cleanser
    • exfoliant
    • shave (shaving cream)
    • Vitamin E cream
    • moisturizer
    • sunscreen

      When I saw the 2-in-1 I had the same thought, lol. Another handy tool for curly haired folks is this website, Is It Curly Girl. If you’re like me and bargain shop, you’ll almost never get the same product twice. With this site you can look up a product’s ingredients, copy/paste/submit, and it checks to see if there are any of the bad/harsh ingredients (sulfates/silicones/etc). Has saved me a lot of time and money when I am shopping for hair products c:

      Do you have any recommendations for Canadians? I recently moved back to Canada from the US and now that I’m trying to actively avoid buying US products I feel like I’m figuring out my routine from scratch again 😅

        For hair I use AG Colour Savour, and it’s fantastic.

        For skincare, most of my stuff is from Green Beaver Company. I use their cleanser, exfoliant, day cream, makeup remover, and deodorant.
