Five indispensable items in your bathroom cabinet

Having the right skincare or rest of your body products can make a world of difference. Not only does it improve your body, it is also good for your wallet and for a better world. What else do you want? What do you pay attention to and which products should not be missed in your bathroom cabinet? With these tips you already have a number of good basic products at home.

1. Good skin care

Who didn't get the tip from her mother to really remove your make-up before going to bed? When you were younger, you sometimes didn't care about that, but once you get older, you understand and appreciate the importance of good skin care more and more. After all, you want to maintain radiant skin for as long as possible, preferably without too many wrinkles if possible. Getting the right products into your home is therefore absolutely no superfluous luxury. Always cleanse your face well, in the morning and in the evening. With a toner you remove the last remnants of dirt for optimally fresh skin. You can also apply another serum before applying the day or night cream.

2. The best for your teeth

Do not underestimate the care of your teeth. Once you have problems with your teeth or gums, there is often no going back. It is therefore very important to brush, floss and take good care of your teeth, prevention is better than cure. You brush your teeth twice a day, preferably with a sonic electric toothbrush. A sonic toothbrush has the same elongated shape as a manual toothbrush, but of course in electrical form. Research shows that an electric toothbrush cleans much better than a manual toothbrush. While brushing, the brush vibrates and therefore all hairs vibrate well, as it were everywhere. With an elongated brush you can reach a large surface so that you can reach all teeth well. Unfortunately, you still cannot reach a large part of the surface with brushing, because that is between your teeth. So, in addition to electric brushing, it is also important to use extra firing or flossing.

Do you want to go one step further in making your teeth shine? Then you can also whiten your teeth at home for an extra white and radiant smile. Nowadays there are even natural ways to do this, for example with a charcoal toothpaste. This is made of charcoal and prevents discoloration of, for example, red wine, tea or coffee. In addition, you can also get safe professional teeth whitening kits for at home.

3. Sunscreen

Applying sunscreen is very important. Not only for the prevention of wrinkles, but of course also for the prevention of skin cancer. Ideally, you should apply an SPF to your face every day, even if it is cloudy and also in winter. The harmful radiation is then still present. Many sunscreens are a bit greasy and give a sticky and sweaty feeling. It is therefore advisable to purchase a special sunscreen for the face. These have been specially developed for this and give a much more matte effect and no sticky feeling.

4. Package-free shower and bath products

We all want to contribute to a more sustainable world. Everyone does this in their own way and at their own pace. One of the things you can do in the bathroom is to purchase packaging-free products. Nowadays this can be done with many things such as shampoo, body lotion, shaving gel, soap, shower gel, lip balm, you name it. Cotton pads are of course also available in washable form. When you opt for packaging-free products, you save considerably on the amount of plastic waste and there are no crazy substances in them. It can also be good for your wallet. If you handle it well, for example, a packaging-free shampoo, such as a shampoo bar, can last up to 3 times as long as a liquid shampoo.

5. Masks for the ultimate relaxing evening
