Calling all men…get on the cleaning and grooming bandwagon with a host of skincare products from cosmetic manufacturers around the world
Masked Armour
Give your face a protective shield with Clarifying Clay Mask from Malin+Goetz. This deep cleansing and exfoliating mask is ideal for oil or acne prone skin. Packed with oil-absorbing kaolin clay (to help absorb excess oil and draw out impurities), powderlike pumice (to gently polish away dead skin), and witchhazel and arnica extract (for their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties), this poreminimising mask (10-minute) is created to keep your skin in the clear. It is non-irritating and suitable for all skin types.
Age Control
Erase ageing signs and other skin damages with GOA Skincare’s Collagen Control Facial Serum, which can act as a multivitamin for your skin. The serum contains all natural active ingredients, including vitamin E, which is known to work on wrinkles, eliminating signs of tiredness, acne, puffiness and deeper expression lines, while forming a protective moisture barrier on the skin. Whether it is wrinkles, pores or degradation of collagen, this serum could have a say on visible signs of ageing and clean it up.
Brush Up
When face cleaning demands an effective external aid, you may want to give Clinique For Men Sonic Purifying Cleansing Brush a try. This dermatologist-developed tool comes with a purifying brush head with charcoal grey bristles that clean better than your hands; thanks to the head which features more than 9,000 sonic vibrations per minute. It deploys two different kinds of charcoal-infused bristles to unclog pores and prep up your skin.
Shine Bright
Enjoy a brighter smile with Intelliwhite Platinum Teeth Whitening System, which can erase stains with only a few swipes of the gel pen. The teeth whitening kit includes a Whitening Gel Pen, a Platinum Stain Eraser and a mouth guard to help hold back lips for easier application. It is convenient to use and is known to whiten teeth by 6 shades after 4 days and 8 shades after 7
days.
Shaving Grace
That beard acting tough with you…? Need to clean it up a bit? Find a match with Panasonic Arc5 Electric Shaver, which has been described as a shower-friendly electric razor. Its five blades are set at 30-degree angles, with each one making 14,000 cuts per minute.
Keep it Trimmed
This one is for metrosexuals. The Remington Xr1410 Verso Wet & Dry Men’s Shaver &Trimmer is ideal for face, neck and chest trimming. The Verso’s threeblade head delivers a clean close shave and its trimming head works perfectly in clearing neckline or excess body hair. It comes with three brushes, each for a specific purpose: daily cleaning, deep cleansing and preshave scrub.
Clean Pate
Get a clean head with headblade ATX, which fits comfortably in your fingers and is easy to use, unlike the conventional razors. The ATX All Terrain Razor uses a new multi-blade technology and can prove equally effective in shaving face, body and legs.
Powder Puff
It is ‘Gold’, it is strong, and it is medicated. The Gold Bond Extra Strength Medicated Body Powder is unashamedly manly in its packaging and content. Designed to cool and relieve even the toughest skin irritation, by soothing, cooling and absorbing moisture, it ensures all that without taking away gentle qualities to make it an everyday product. You could use it after shower or exercise or even to enjoy its deodorant protection.
Face it
Here’s a ‘Recipe for Men’… An Energizing Bronze Cream to help if your complexion is pale, ashy or blotchy – all thanks to the regular shaving, dust and pollution in the air and even out your skin tone with a touch of self-tanner, giving you a natural glow and a healthy looking skin.
Hair Care
If the biggest lament of your grooming regimen is falling hair, check out Aveda Invati Men Exfoliating Shampoo & Scalp Revitaliser, which works effectively (only when used together) to clean, invigorate your scalp and encourage hair growth. It is a twostep system – begin by washing your hair with the Exfoliating shampoo and then apply the Scalp revitaliser when your hair is still damp.
