Men. I know sometimes you must feel left out from all this beauty talk, is organic pomegranate oil really so relevant for me? Does it matter whether this cream boosts my cellular activity? Is hylauronic acid not a toxic chemical? Some men like to let ageing and the elements do their worst whereas others have a skincare routine to rival Sophia Loren, most fall comfortably somewhere in the middle and tend to have the one go to product which kind of covers everything. So I thought I’d take a look at some of the great skincare around, specifically targeted at men so they aren’t so fearful of entering a beauty hall.
For those who like it fancy head straight to Tom Ford, as always the packaging is luxurious and the Skin Revitalizing Concentrate is particularly good, also on the fancy scale try Sisleyum For Men, it’s mega hi-tech. Kiehls should also be on your list, clinical enough to feel like its doing a job and a straight forward approach means you know exactly what you’re getting, Recipe for Men is also going to cover all basics and then some given its Skandinavian roots. For a full skincare routine check out your nearest Clinique counter and don’t be afraid to ask for testers, us girls do this all the time, that’s why the bathroom is full of miniature versions of what we use all the time. Clinique do a mini set which covers the essentials. Purely for the glee these names give I have to mention Origins Save The Males and Cowshed’s Bullocks ranges, they will assert your masculinity indefinitely. If you tend to have sensitive skin then yes here is where organic is worth mentioning, Balance Me Balancing Moisturiser will hydrate yet isn’t overly greasy so keeps shine in check. If you like it really matte then Givenchy’s Mister Matte should be kept to hand as a translucent gel which rids the skin of any shine, apply sparingly to the tzone.
Finally if you are a bearded male, as is the current trend, I’m sure you already have your grooming in check however if not then get yourself down to Murdock London for impeccable beard care and a range of products which will have you umming and ahhing for at least an hour. Before you know it your bathroom cupboard will be bulging.
