This is a stunning mask and/or overnight treatment with Red Seaweed, White Tea, Hyaluronic Acid, Pure Essential Oils and vitamins A, B5, C, D and E. Created by Urth, a producer of Asian inspired skincare created especially for men. I have to say it’s absolutely amazing. I will warn you however that as you apply it…

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant
So what is so good about this cream? I see it absolutely everywhere I go, no matter which shop, department store, airport, airplane or country I’m in – there it is, beaming away with its gorgeous white packaging and red door logo. Designed to calm, protect and hydrate for, you guessed it, 8 hours; this…

Origins Super Spot Remover
I don’t know I haven’t reviewed this already. I picked a while ago, and it’s just one of those things that you don’t really pay attention to, you just use it when you need it and then forget about it until next time. This teeny-tiny blue plastic bottle with white plastic lid contains 10ml of…

Foad Wax
OK. So here’s one just for us guys with moustaches. Well, not myself because I can’t grow a moustache for toffee, but for those of us who can, I’ve got something pretty special to share with you.

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…

REN Photoactive Sun Veil SPF 15
I’ve found the product that will set me up for the summer and keep my unbelievably pale skin protected from Manchester’s hot summer sun – REN Photoactive Sun Veil SPF 15. This product is one of the best dedicated facial sun screens I’ve come across to date. It’s designed to be worn over the top…

Shiseido Active Energizing Concentrate
This wasn’t my discovery unfortunately, I found this in Shortlist a fab free paper I picked up whilst in Manchester. The Shiseido Active Energizing Concentrate is an anti-ageing serum targets fibroblast cells which are responsible for the production of elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid. They’re saying the turnaround on this product is about two weeks, but I’m…

Neat Feat 3B Face Saver / Action Cream
I’ve been using these products for a couple of weeks now, especially as we’ve gone into some unseasonably hot weather and I’ve just been abroad. I never thought my prayers in cosmetics could ever be answered so well, but oh they have been. A fabulous US company called NEAT FEAT, have a range of products…

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…
