3 Beauty Insiders Share Their Shower Must-Haves

“I’ve been so impressed by ARKET’s new bath and body collection. The formulas belie their very affordable price tags. I like them all but have recently enjoyed using this multipurpose oil after the shower as it’s a one-stop shop for all-over hydration. The scent is fresh and floral with notes of bergamot and lily of the valley, and it’s great for moisturising everything from elbows and ankles to face and split ends.”

“During the winter months, my hair is drier so (sadly) frizz is more of a feature. I love having this buttery mask to hand in the shower on those days when it needs some extra taming. It’s silicone free, so it doesn’t weigh my hair down and the coconut and macadamia oils drench it in hydration, making it softer, smoother and more manageable. It also helps that, when it’s dark and dank outside, it smells like a tropical beach inside my shower.”

“Whether it’s a quick rinse off in the morning or part of a longer double cleanse in the evening, I love the cushioning comfort of a cream cleanser. This one from Tatcha is a dream. Creamy and nourishing, it leaves your skin feeling supple and comfortable, but it’s still effective at removing dirt and debris. It’s also great if you suffer from congestion and excess oil, as it helps balance sebum production.”

“There is something so nostalgic about soap on a rope. This one combines excellent cleansing abilities with a high-end designer touch. As well as delivering a soft, frothy lather, it’s gently exfoliating and emits the most heavenly herbal scent, which lingers on skin long after the suds have disappeared.”

“Hear me out on this one because I do realise spending over £300 on shampoo and conditioner sounds crazy. This is not just any cleanse and care duo. It’s the Rolls-Royce of products when it comes to shine, softness and strength. Second, I have been using my set for almost three months, and I don’t think I’m anywhere near finishing the bottles. There’s also something so joyous and Borrower-like about jumbo bottles – they’ll make you smile every time you step in the shower.”

“There are so many benefits to using a gua sha on the body. Lymphatic drainage stimulates fluid movement and helps tone, while also reducing tension. I like to use a wooden tool – alongside a shower oil to create glide – on the tops of my legs, arms, bottom and lower back.”

“Three or four times a week, I brush my body before showering to encourage blood flow and slough away dead skin cells. I like one with a long handle so I can reach my back.”

“A couple of times a week, I’ll use an AHA product to smooth over any texture and reduce dryness on my body. This wash by Naturium works a treat without leaving my skin feeling sensitive.”

“A shower oil is a great addition to your night-time routine if you’re after a calming, soothing effect on your mind and skin. Wildsmith has a great ethos behind it, and this gentle fragrance really helps me unwind.”
