Health and beauty essentials will vary depending on an individual's personal wants and needs. However, there are some items that can be considered essential such as:

• Skincare Products 
• Haircare Products
• Oral Hygiene Products
• Bath and Body Products
• Makeup Essentials
• Nail Care
• Fragrances

To clean your makeup brushes, start by rinsing the bristles under lukewarm water to remove any residual makeup. Then, apply a small amount of brush cleanser to your palm or a textured brush cleaning mat. Gently swirl the bristles in the cleanser, working up a lather. Rinse the brush thoroughly under running water, ensuring that all the soap residue is removed. Gently squeeze out any excess water and reshape the bristles. Lay the brushes flat on a clean towel and allow them to air dry completely before using them again. Other options are available for cleaning your makeup brushes including special brush cleaning kits.

After cleaning your makeup brushes, it's important to dry them properly to maintain their shape and prevent the growth of bacteria. To dry them properly you should leave them in a well-ventilated area to air dry. Avoid using a hairdryer as this could damage the bristles.

It is recommended to wash your makeup brushes regularly to maintain cleanliness and quality. The frequency of washing will depend on the type of brushes you have and how often you use them. If you rarely use your brushes you will rarely need to wash them. 

Makeup brushes and makeup sponges are both tools used for applying makeup, but they have some differences in terms of their design, application techniques, and finish. 

To remove makeup effectively, start by using a gentle makeup remover or micellar water on a cotton pad or reusable makeup remover cloth. Gently wipe the pad or cloth over your face, focusing on areas with makeup. For waterproof or long-wearing makeup, you may need to hold the pad on the area for a few seconds to help dissolve the product. 

Yes, you can take deodorant on a plane. If you are packing your hand luggage, you can only pack spray deodorants that are less than 100ml. You can pack any size of liquid you like in your hold luggage. Stick deodorants can be packed in either hand or hold luggage. 

To remove deodorant stains from shirts, you can try a few methods. One option is to dampen the stained area with water and apply a small amount of liquid dish soap or laundry detergent directly onto the stain. Gently rub the fabric together to work in the soap, then let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse the area with cold water and check if the stain has lifted. 

Deodorant, when used as directed and in moderation, is generally considered safe for most individuals. You should not use deodorant if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in it.

There can be several reasons why your armpits may still have odour despite using deodorant. Here are a few possible explanations:

• Improper use
• Ineffective deodorant
• Excessive sweating
• Bacteria growth
• Diet and other lifestyle factors

Excessive sweating in the armpits, a condition known as axillary hyperhidrosis, can be attributed to various factors. Here are a few reasons you may experience excessive sweating:

• Genetics
• Overactive sweat glands
• Hormonal changes
• Stress or anxiety
• Certain medical conditions such as obesity, hyperthyroidism, or diabetes

Whether roll-on deodorant is better than spray deodorant depends on personal preferences and individual needs. Both types of deodorants have their own advantages and considerations.

There has been ongoing debate and research regarding the potential link between deodorant or antiperspirant use and cancer. However, current scientific evidence does not support the claim that deodorant or antiperspirant use causes cancer.

Yes, deodorant can expire. While the exact shelf life can vary depending on the brand and formulation, most deodorants have a typical expiration period of about 2 to 3 years. Over time, the effectiveness of the deodorant may diminish, and the product may not provide the desired odour control or freshness.

An antiperspirant is a type of personal care product designed to reduce or prevent sweating. It works by temporarily blocking or reducing the flow of sweat from the sweat glands. 

Deodorant and antiperspirant are two different types of personal care products. Deodorant is designed to help control body odour by neutralising or masking the odour-causing bacteria that can be present on the skin. Antiperspirant, on the other hand, is formulated to reduce or prevent sweating by temporarily blocking the sweat ducts.

When used as directed, antiperspirants are generally safe for most individuals. If you are using an antiperspirant correctly there is a very low chance that it will be bad for you. If you are allergic to anything in the antiperspirant you should not use it under any circumstances.

Antiperspirants work by reducing or temporarily blocking sweat production. When you apply antiperspirant to your skin, usually in the underarm area, it forms a thin layer on the surface. By blocking the sweat ducts, antiperspirants reduce the amount of sweat that is released onto the skin. 

Yes, when used as directed, antiperspirants are generally considered safe for most individuals. You should not use any antiperspirant if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the product.

Excessive sweating can occur despite using antiperspirants. There can be several reasons why you may still experience excessive sweating despite using antiperspirant:

• Hyperactive sweat glands
• Stress and anxiety
• Improper use of the product
• Resistance

Yes, it is perfectly fine to use both antiperspirant and deodorant together. In fact, many products on the market are designed as combination antiperspirant deodorants, providing sweat reduction and odour control in a single product. 

No, it is not recommended to put antiperspirant on your face. Antiperspirants are specifically formulated for use on areas of the body where sweating is more common, such as underarms. The skin on the face is generally more sensitive and delicate than the underarm skin.
