Expert Moisturizer

Advantages: Slows facial hair growth, revives skin
Disadvantages: Expensive

Clarins Men Skin Difference is a product designed for two purposes: 1. To soften facial hair and slow down new hair growth, which is intended to make shaving much easier 2. To moisturize the skin and revive dull skin I bought Skin Difference a few months ago for £26.50 from Boots, after seeing an advert in Men's Health. I had shopped around but all Clarins products are the same price in each store, so I opted for Boots because you get Advantage ...
...is quite large for the size of the product, which is a small pump action container, with two chambers for each of the two liquids, each chamber containing 15ml. £26.50 is expensive for moisturizer, but I think it is worth it. Skin Difference comes with a couple of instruction books in multiple languages which you should read. However if you can't be bothered the main point to take away is that you should apply this at night, just before going to ...

Review of Clarins for Men Skin Difference 2

Gillette... The Best A Woman Can Get?

Advantages: Easy to use, pleasant feminine fragrance, soothes & moisturises skin
Disadvantages: A very good gel, but you wont get perfection

Gillette has grown to be a trusted and popular brand, so when I saw the sensitive version of their Satin Care shave gel I thought it would live up to its promise of silky smooth skin. For £2.99 (Superdrug) you get a 200ml pressurised can of gel which is dispensed by a push down nozzle. It has an attractive blue/green design, and other varieties within the Gillette Care range are available, so it does help make you feel more feminine, thus making ...
...buying again. I think that Gillette Satin care is definitely good, but you wont get perfection. That said, I would expect a slightly more penny friendly price tag, as £3 will add up because you need to shave frequently if you want to remain hair-free. Look out for offers on these as they are available in many supermarkets, beauty stores and pharmacies. So, until I find the perfect solution to hair-removal, this is still my favourite choice for shaving. ...

Review of Gillette for Women Satin Care Moisture Rich Care

A close, fruity shave

Advantages: close shave, moisturising, foams well, smells great
Disadvantages: quite expensive for a product you use regularly

...most, but I trust the Gillette brand so felt it worth paying the extra pennies for. The can is an aerosol and pumps the gel out for application. This took a bit of pressure initially but after the first application was easy to use. The gel was a orange colour and smelt fantastic. It had a really fruity scent, predominantely (and unsurprisingly) of apricot, that filled my bathroom. Only a small amount of the gel was needed for a full leg application, ...
...At first the foam was a little sticky and thick and not very easy to spread, but on adding a little water to the application area, this was quickly rectified. What I liked about using this product was that you can clearly see and identify which areas have already been shaved. It gave a really close shave as it allowed the razor to glide more easily than soap does and left me with smooth soft legs. The apricot oil in the gel was really moisturising ...

Review of Gillette Satin Care Shave Gel Radiant Apricot

Gillette Satin Care Shave Gel for lovely smooth legs :)

Advantages: Leaves your legs lovely and smooth and has a delicious smell
Disadvantages: Expensive

...as I've tried out a Gillette Shave Gel before and it did not smell enticing. I've never tried Apricot-scented beauty products before, but if they all smell this good I'd definitely buy more! It was a light fruity smell and I knew that it would make my skin smell nice. I rubbed the gel between my hands to lather it up and was pleasantly surprised to see that even just a small amount of gel produced a lot of foam! It didn't take long or very much gel ...
...used the razor, I was impressed to see that I didn't experience a single nick or cut as I usually do. (The amount of times I've had to stick plasters on my legs right after bathing due to cutting myself with cheap razors or by using rubbish shaving gel!). Afterwards, I was pleased with the outcome. I had smooth legs (and had only used a medium-quality throwaway razor) that lasted at least a couple of days before stubble grew back, and as I said before, ...

...your beautician if they stock Tend Skin. I find them to be more expensive instore though. Using it You are recommended to use a cotton ball to apply the solution to affected areas, but I find that the cotton ball soaks up a lot of the liquid and you're left with little to put on yourself. I put a little bit on my hand and wipe it on the affected area. It dries pretty quickly. Just watch though, if you're using it soon after getting waxed it ...
