Xen-Tan Mousse Intense / Face Tanner Lux
This post is predominantly parts of an email I sent in reply to someone who’d sent me a lovely email asking me about self tanning and what I’d recommend. I found myself writing a reply, quite passionately, about a range of products that I’ve used for years and stupidly never written about here on Manface.…

Calvin Klein Makeup for Men
I’ll be honest. I’ve never been that much of an advocate of makeup on men, because you rarely see it done well. The idea of makeup on men, I feel, is more to be corrective rather than enhancing, covering spots and helping to even out skin tone etc, rather than lashings of blusher, bronzer, eye…

The MANFACE Definitive Hairbond Review
Almost a year on from discovering Hairbond products, I’m still using them; therefore I thought I’d compile a definitive review of their entire range. Over the last 6 years, I’ve used a lot of haircare, from mass brand favourites to prestige gold and never cease to be impressed by the amazing products that some pretty…

Wilkinson Sword Hydro Skincare
Now, you may or may not have read my glittering review of the Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Razor. I’d picked one up at a student fair a couple of years back and have thoroughly enjoyed it every since. I used to be a biiiig Gillette fan, swearing by the Fusion, until I got hold of…

Anthony Logistics Pre-Shave Oil
Some of you may not have encountered shave oils before and this is because they’ve fallen out of favour due to the increased popularity of shave foam gels supposedly offering a ‘complete shave’. However much of a ‘complete shave’ your gel offers, it still can’t beat the use of a quick and easy pre-shave oil…

REN ClearCalm3 Range
It’s been a while since I’ve been this genuinely excited and actually quite giddy to use a new product range. The range consists of 4 products, a clay facial wash, clay mask, day moisturiser and night moisturiser. Unlike many so called ‘acne-care’ series, this range has no beaded exfoliating scrub of any kind which made…

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion
Ok, I know I’m about 40 years too late for this to be a ground-breaking review but this is a product that I believe to be one of the most effective on the market. Created by the skin care company that inspired them all, Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion is something pretty unique indeed. Firstly,…

Aveda Scalp Benefits Dry Scalp Shampoo and Conditioner
If you’ve ever suffered with a dry and/or irritated scalp then Aveda Scalp Benefits is just for you, although is ideal for all hair types. Often when I’ve come across shampoos and conditioners of this type, they’ve been overly rich and greasy; however this isn’t the case with scalp benefits, that leaves your hair silky…

Clinique Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator
NEW Clinique Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator! This wonderful new creation from Clinique went live this week and is a variation on their ridiculously good Moisture Surge Moisturiser. This version is a gel/cream moisturiser designed for a very dry to dry combination skin type, whereas the original is for all skin types, but might…

Clarins Skincare
Clinique and Clarins are two of the UK’s biggest skincare companies in the UK. As you all know, I’m a Clinique accredited consultant, and through my work and this site, continue to be a patron for the company as the products are ridiculously amazing. However, how can I pretend to be any sort of expert…
