As with so much else in life, quality costs. For those of us on a budget, the prospect of investing in one’s personal grooming can seem like frippery - an unnecessary expenditure that distracts from the financial goals at hand.

But that doesn’t mean you need to stoop as low as to steal from your partner, or forego grooming altogether. Far from it. At MISTR, we believe you can amass a core range of versatile, effective grooming products to cover all your bases and present well.

Your essential products should include an SPF, moisturiser, face wash, body wash and deodorant (all for daily wear, of course). Everything else is secondary - for now. Below, our selection of top products to have on hand that won’t break the bank.
