Sometimes, there’s nothing more satisfying than a DIY - especially when it comes to beauty. An at-home treatment can save both time and money, and plenty of brands have formulated products with this ease in mind. Here are some of BD’s picks:
Veet
While some hair removal creams are messy and smelly, the latest offering from Veet is neither. The solution works in the shower with the help of water-resistant ingredients, and is enriched with lotus milk to leave skin silky.
Conair
A trip to the salon for a facial is no longer necessary thanks to tools such as Conair’s True Glow. The two-part system combats dryness, ageing and environmental damage with a warm mist steaming, followed by a cool mist to calm and hydrate the complexion.
1000 Hour Lash & Brow Dye Kit – Natural Black
Brows are big business these days, but courtesy of brands like 100 Hour, there’s no need to fork out on tint. The line of natural dye shades is simple to use, and delivers results that last four to six weeks.
Clairol
Similarly, dyed locks don’t always require a hairdresser’s handiwork. Clairol has been renowned for its natural range of permanent hair colour since it launched on the Australian market in 1968. The brand utilises ColourSeal Gloss technology to seal in both shade and shine.
Garnier
The moisturising and self-tanning markets are broad, but Garnier’s Ambre Solaire combines the best of both worlds. The two-in-one product contains tanning ingredients to boost skin’s golden glow while leaving it smooth and hydrated.
Napro Palette is an at-home haircare favourite, and for good reason. The range not only colours locks, but nourishes them with argan oil. The line of semi-permanent hair dyes focuses on offering rich colour and high-intensity shine.
Nailene
French manicures can be done on the run with this tool invention. The pen provides consumers with everything they need for polished digits: a strong acrylic topcoat, 42 tip guides, a white pen for tips and a base colour.
Schwarzkopf’s Live Oleo Intense offering proves hair colour doesn’t have to include ammonia. The non-drip oil-in-cream is formulated with nourishing ingredients such as activating marula, apricot kernel and castor oils.
Rapid White
A set of pearly whites can be easily achieved at home thanks to the development of whitening kits, like this one from Rapid White. The brand’s Blue Light system is the first teeth whitening option with light-activated gel technology. Use twice a day for best results.
