THE BEAUTY OF MAN
If you are fed up with your man stealing your products ladies, it’s time to breath a sigh of relief. This year men’s cosmetic ranges are better than ever, so guys are you listening? It’s time to buy your own. Here are some of the hottest lines out there.
Hair Today Gone TomorrowA godsend for anyone who is losing hair whether it be through stress or cancer, this stuff really works. All my ex-boyfriends seem to have a receding hairline (okay, maybe I might be to blame) so one-by-one I have introduced them to this range, I swear by it. Nioxin begins by removing residue left over by other shampoos and styling products. Just as a crop can’t grow if a blanket is placed over the dirt, you can’t grow a healthy head of hair if your scalp and follicles are clogged with residue. Nioxin then gives your scalp a boost of vitamins, amino acids and essential oils such as rosemary and peppermint. I recommend trying the starter kit first which contains the cleanser, scalp therapy and scalp treatment. Visit: www.nioxin.com / available from Reflections: Tel. 902 325 324
Close ShaveClarins Men have just launched a fantastic new men’s product After Shave Energizer which is specially formulated to sooth skin, while alleviating the feeling of razor burn. This invigorating after shave contains purslane, centella and blue alpine thistle which invigorate the senses easing those Monday morning blues. Visit: www.clarins.com
Uber- tasticUberSlick is the latest word on every trendsetter’s lips. The range for men encapsulates the finest exotic ingredients from around the world. For those of you wanting a tan without the wrinkles try the celebrity tanning spray which, with its fast, easy application, you will achieve an even tan which develops in just a few hours. Best of all there is no smell, so no one will know it’s not real.In honour of Amy Winehouse we have the “Rehab” range Everyday Shampoo which is gentle and deep cleansing, and contains Japanese silk to rehydrate your hair.

TIP- Mono-brows are not a good look, tweeze the middle hairs and ta da, you now have two eyebrows.
Just Be LogicalAnthony Logistics for Men was created solely with men’s skin care needs in mind. The products are allergy tested and use ingredients which are beneficial to men’s skin – everything a man needs to start the day fresh and well groomed.
After using my friend as a guinea pig, he chose the following as his favourites:
Glycolic Facial Cleanser (enriched with aloe, glycolic acid, and vitamins to prep skin for shaving) which left his skin clean, yet moisturised; the Deep, Pore Cleansing Clay Mask which did it’s job and got rid of impurities and was followed by the Astringent. Due to the witch hazel, aloe vera and antiseptic camphor his pores visibly shrunk which was quite amazing to watch. To finish he recommends the Oil Free Facial Lotion with SPF 15. This is lightweight, while silk amino acids help retard further moisture loss. I have been told to tell you they all smell very nice!!! Visit: www.anthony.com / available through www.spacenk.com
Too Sensitive?Clinique have a fantastic range for men with slick masculine packaging (there is nothing feminine about these products). Great for sensitive or allergy-prone skin due to their allergy testing and fragrance free formulas. Best sellers are the Clinique Hair Maximizing Shampoo: used daily it gives some much needed oomph to fine hair while the Hair Maximizing Serum is a highly concentrated Clinique product which improves the thickness and volume of men’s hair. The formula helps increase scalp circulation to encourage growth of stronger, healthier-looking hair. Most guys get dry skin during the winter months, so it’s important to use a thicker, more moisturising formula such as Clinique’s Skin Supplies for Men Maximum Hydrator which also tones and improves fine lines.Visit: www.clinique.com

Love Me TenderDo you suffer from razor rash, razor bumps or ingrown hairs from shaving? If the answer is "yes" then Tend Skin is the ideal treatment.
