Keep these factors in mind when shopping for easier-to-use beauty products:
✔️ Clever packaging: Look for products with thoughtful shapes and design features that make them easier to handle. Flat-sided packaging, such as the rectangular Personal Day Hypochlorous Acid Spray, stays put even if it tips over. Products that double as accessories, like Rhode Snap-On Lip Case and Lip Tint, can also be surprisingly helpful when applying products on the go. Non-removable caps are another bonus for items used in the shower, such as shampoos, conditioners, scrubs, and body washes.
✔️ Easy opening: Wide jars with screw-top lids or lip products with tight caps can be frustrating to open. If you’re shopping with accessibility in mind, try opening the tester (when available) or pay close attention to how the product is opened and dispensed.
✔️ Simplicity: Overly complicated tools like hair dryers with multiple attachments or multi-layer mask packets can discourage regular use. Instead, look for streamlined tools that combine steps, such as a 2-in-1 dryer and styler like the Dyson Airstrait or a blow-dry brush. Simplicity is also exactly what made the Therabody Mask Glo stand out to her.
