While consistency is a notion championed by various beauty professionals, people often mistake it for stagnancy. That is, sticking to the same products, regimes, and techniques for years on end despite mounting evidence that it is failing to serve your best interests. If the above sounds familiar, it is likely that you have fallen into a rut—one which requires considerable effort to clamber out of. Luckily for you, Vogue Singapore is here to provide some much-needed assistance. Should the thought of any form of change feel anxiety-inducing, however, we recommend taking baby steps in the form of small switch-ups. For instance, swapping out your day-to-day shampoos, soaps, and cleansers for newfangled innovations that could potentially elevate your routine. Enter: solid toiletries.
As the name suggests, solid toiletries essentially function in the same way as liquid formulas do—except they come in a solid-state that allows for fuss-free portability as well as a heightened level of sustainability due to the lack of plastic packaging required in its conception. What’s more, the market has only continued to grow in recent years, spawning solid fragrances, shampoos, and more beyond the humble soap bar. Glimpse our edit of the crème de la crème of formulas to know of, ranging from luxurious perfumed bars to TikTok cult favourites.
