Toiletry, cosmetic and jewellery applications
Items in this section facilitate the application of cosmetics, lotions, hair dressings and jewellery.
Some are long-handled which make it easier to reach the feet or back to apply lotion. Other items make fine activities like using tweezers easier. Some of the products may assist blind or partially-sighted users through increased magnification.
Please read our FAQs if you have any questions about how to change information, what the DLF ratings means, etc.

Good lighting and/or a mirrors for magnification may help some people. If seated, a taller mirror may be needed (to suit sitting or standing) or a shaving mirror on an extended arm may help.
