Lab Series BB Cream for Men
Have you tried a BB cream yet? Pretty much a souped up tinted moisturiser, BB creams are an Asian import that should deliver 3 main benefits: SPF, a light tint and skincare (usually anti-ageing or brightening). BB creams for men are huge in Asia, while in Hong Kong I saw tonnes of guys at Laneige [...]
Grooming Gear
Here’s a look at what’s keeping me so fresh and so clean clean this week! Gatsby Grunge Mat Styling Wax – Love this stuff, you can’t get it in the UK so I bought around 6 tubs while in Hong Kong. It’s completely matte, holds incredibly well, doesn’t leave hair stiff and smells like apples. [...]
Jo Malone Vitamin E Day Creme
Flying 12 hours usually messes with my skin quite a lot. The dry air coupled with a long day pre-flight usually means dry, chapped and slightly irritated skin after a long haul flight. I applied this twice on the flight and got off the plane looking refreshed and I already had my sun protection in [...]

Imedeen for Men – An Update!
Yikes, this update is a bit late (sorry!) but I think that sort of sets the tone for this review. Having started the Imedeen challenge (3 months using the formula) I decided to buy a set for a skincare phobic friend too – just to compare any differences since my skin is pretty well cared-for [...]

Review: Wall Steet Facial at The Beauty Lounge
An amazing name for a fantastic treatment; I recently went to see celebrity facialist Nuz Shugaa at The Beauty Lounge (London W1) for her signature Men’s treatment; the Wall Street Facial. I’ll preface this by saying that although i’m Skin Care for Men, I don’t really like facials, massages and the sort. I blame it [...]
