In South Africa, at the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, sales of beauty and personal care products that were deemed non-essential were banned both online and offline. Premium brands were one of the biggest losers, while personal hygiene products were resilient. As the pandemic continues, beauty and personal care products are still being bought in the country, but consumers are spending less on them.
