Cosmedica Skincare Vit-C Prep & Tone
Here’s something a bit new and unique that I thought you might like. It’s a toning liquid from American brand, Cosmedica, sold exclusively on Amazon and containing a high concentration of skin brightening, pore tightening and dead skin cell fighting vitamin C. When applied onto the skin, it’s very cooling and fabulously tingly. Strangely, Cosmedica’s…

Neal’s Yard Remedies Men Revitalising Face Scrub
By now I’m sure you know what a fan I am of good, gentle, chemical exfoliation, but sometimes, you just can’t beat a good scrub. Neal’s Yard Remedies Men Revitalising Face Scrub is one of the best I’ve come across good few months; it’s pretty powerful. Now, you may also know that I’m very ‘anti’…

Ren Multi Tasking Aftershave Balm
With hundreds of aftershave balms out there, what is the point of reviewing another one? Ren Multi Tasking Aftershave Balm is something a little different and not your average bathroom cabinet resident. This is not an aftershave balm for those with oily or combination skin as it has a fairly rich, cream texture rather than…

Weleda Hayfever Kit
Whilst hayfever isn’t strictly grooming related, it’s something that will effect many of you as it does me. Over last 6 years, I’ve lived with the most terrible hayfever that often leaves me practically paralized with inflamed sinuses, massive susceptibility to respiratory infections and totally unable to do anything; so much so I take a…

Origins GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturiser
It’s like Clinique Moisture Surge on steroids. This orange and citrus fragranced, oil-free, cream-gel moisturiser immediately penetrates tired skin, leaving it plump, irresistible to touch and glowing, seriously, glowing! With so many ‘energising’ moisturisers out there, it’s great to see one that “does that is says on the tin”. Many oil-free moisturisers don’t feel as…
