Serums & Treatments Reviews
What is a serum? Basically, a serum delivers a targeted treatment designed to help eliminate a specific skin concern to the lower levels of the skin. When should I use a serum? It’s normally recommended that any serum is applied underneath your moisturiser after cleansing and toning.

Review of Blemish Fighting Skincare from The Body Shop
The Body Shop’s Tea Tree range is one of the longest standing blemish fighting skincare ranges in existence. I had the face wash and oil when I was 12/13 and so had countless others before me and countless others after. So let’s welcome some new additions to this timeless family. All the Tea Tree oil in the range is Community Fair…

Amanda Lacey Skincare
Not only am I very excited to be working with Amanda Lacey on a new project with her, it has been a delight to try out 3 pieces of her renowned skincare. If you’ve not heard of Amanda Lacey before, it’s because her skincare is not lining every boutique in the country with very select…

The Anti-Blemish Serum I’ve been waiting for
This has surely been a long time coming from Clinique who’s anti-blemish skincare system is one of the most widely regarded and used out there. I have used it intermittently for almost 10 years as and when needed to deal with occasional (but severe) breakouts. The Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Blemish + Line Correcting Serum kills the…

The Body Shop Drops of Light
I’m not going to bother starting with what a roll The Body Shop is on at the moment as it seems to be less of a blip and more of a way of things to come. You can read a couple more of my The Body Shop skin care reviews here: The Body Shop NEW Drops…

Aesop Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Skin Care
Not a review as such, more than a public service announcement! Aesop’s Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant skin care is a great all rounder regime for normal/dry skin that’s designed to hydrate, re-balance and protect against environmental and oxidation damage. I’ve reviewed a lot of the products in the range over the last year or so but as…

Reparative Skin Care by Twelve Beauty
When I first tried Twelve Beauty (2 years ago now) I wasn’t blown away by how it made my skin feel. Although the formulations are exquisite, at the time it was far too rich and more than my skin needed. Two birthdays and a boat-load of stress later, my skin needs more these days! I’m…

LAB SERIES For Men: Do you even lift, bro?
I have a strange relationship with LAB SERIES products. Until now, after all this time, I’ve just not been able to get into the brand. A mixture of the fragrance they use in some of their products; their seemingly strange distribution/availability; odd naming conventions with “V MAXIMUM LS X TECH P PRO POWER ULTRA… lip balm”; and…

The Renaissance of The Body Shop: Drops of Youth Cream and Essence Lotion
I never thought I’d be writing this in a million years but over the last 2 years, The Body Shop seems to be undergoing some kind of renaissance, hitting it out the park with almost every-single launch. Their skin care is becoming unrecognisable – in a very good way. For a historical introduction to some of this…

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,…
