Growing up in the ’90s or having parents that grew up in the ’90s might mean these were some beauty staples you saw or used in your house. While some of these items may still prove great for us today, there are a handful we need to ditch if we haven’t already.
I was born in 1995 to two 22-year-olds who were well versed in ’90s beauty. My dad used Zest bar soap from head to toe, and my mom was a St. Ives Apricot Scrub, Maybelline Great Lash, and extra hold mousse regular.

However, that’s a beauty trend that still works! I see countless people, including myself, use those tiny elastics for half up half down hairstyles to add that extra volume.
While I obviously still have curly hair, I’ve fallen short of still using Infusium23, but have been considering jumping back into that brand for extra hair vitamins and nutrients. Although now there are more brands for curly and coily hair textures, some old things still may work, and mousse still hasn’t gone out of style.
