Two questions tend to govern what ends up on a bathroom shelf: does it work and what’s it like to use? But may we venture a third, that’s perhaps less important but also hard to ignore: what does it look like on my shelves?
Self-care is a process as much as a result: a few minutes carved out for yourself, even if it’s only the morning shower. And there’s an art to curating the shelf. Line up a few trusty necessities and leave it at that, if you like. But a handful of good-looking, high-performing bottles, tubs and tinctures can turn a functional WC into a small haven. The kind of space that energises yousr morning routine and makes your evening wind-down a place of peace.
Where to start? Less is more: products strewn across shower floor or piled high in your cupboard won’t contribute to the calm we’re after here. Look for a line-up of heroes that clear three bars:
- Look good: so you feel like you’ve stepped into a spa.
- Feel good: so every application feels like you’re in one.
- Do good: so that, over time, your skin looks like you’ve been to one.
Below are the triple threats we keep in our own bathrooms: ones that make everything from bathtime to washing your hands a Very Nice Time. And, relax...
