Adam & Eve Skin Care for The 20-Something
I’m rarely happy when someone sends me a product range; particularly when it’s from an unknown brand. I’m a harsh judge with skin care generally. The percentage of products I get sent that make it onto MANFACE is teeny-tiny and believe me, those Jiffy bags come fast and furious (I was going to make an Anthrax joke,…

Clinique Anti Blemish Solutions Cleansing Gel: The Holy Grail of Acne Skincare
It sounds boring, looks boring and for all intents and purposes is boring; but, to accompany the launch of a new Clinique Sonic Anti Blemish Solutions brush head, the new Clinique Anti Blemish Solutions Cleansing Gel is one of my top products already for 2015. Most of us get spots, whether it’s persistent, occasional or the ‘travelling spot’ that leaves…

Treating dark cirles and bags with new Creme de La Mer The Illuminating Eye Gel
Well, it’s the second month in the start of a new year and I’m already at my wits end. I’ve taken on some new web design clients (who couldn’t be better and more facilitating) which are big projects; have been up and down to London like a yo-yo and then on an almost week-long press…

Superdrug Tea Tree Exfoliating Cream Wash & Tea Tree Nose Strips
Just as how so many people buy skincare, I saw and bought these Superdrug Tea Tree products because: the packaging caught my eye; the price was good and it was on offer. An often lethal combination. Remember, always ask yourself: why is it cheap and why are they trying to sell it quickly (on offer)?…

How To Brighten Skin with VMV Hypoallergenics Illuminants+ Treatment Exfoliating Toner
How to lighten skin I often receive questions asking for my recommendations and tips on how to lighten skin discoloration. Now there’s an almost underground side to skin care focusing on asian (south, east and west) and black skin where lighter and brighter is more desirable (in the same way a tan is more desirable in western…

Reviewed: Crème de La Mer The Lifting & Firming Mask
La Mer is overrated* *It’s not. You’ll read plenty of articles out there about how Crème de La Mer is overrated and all the rest of it and the brand even pokes fun at its haters with the slogan – Coveted By Those In The Know. The people who ‘hate’ it will 9/10 never have…

How to get rid of dark circles with La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Eyes Dark Circle Corrector
I’ve been sat on this La Roche-Posay skin care gem since around March (sorry) as I picked it up in Spain but only now is it launching and available here in the UK. La Roche-Posay have arrived extraordinarily late to the pigmentation and dark spot correction party, but their contribution is no less valid and in fact, better than many…

Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum: The Best Serum for Men or Just a Load of Boswellox?
The Clinique Smart Serum (Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum) has interesting origins. Estée Lauder Companies has been sat on this for around 5 years. Why? Because it was created by accident whilst researching and developing Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector; but at the time Lauder was only looking for a pigmentation serum – the skin…

Their range of skin care targeting blemished and problem skin is stunning and very effective. (MALIN + GOETZ) Detox Face Mask This is bloody bizarre, I absolutely…

Test Driving La Roche-Posay Effaclar 3 Step Anti-Blemish System: The Results #Sponsored
Over the last six weeks, three of my closest friends and myself have been trialling the new La Roche-Posay Effaclar 3 Step Anti-Blemish System. The products themselves aren’t new, and even though you might be thinking “But Thom! I’ve not seen that toner before!”, I’d firstly ask you to stop yelling at me and to…
