Pamper |
No longer the exclusive domain of the female sex, male grooming is these days not only acceptable but actively encouraged – after all, we are all living longer and if we women must be crease-free and youthful, should not our male counterparts? Apart from looking and feeling healthier (research shows that regular ‘pampering’ has the positive effect of boosting one’s immunity), smoother, more ‘kissable’ skin may be actively appreciated by those who love you most – surely a good thing?
Unsure of where to begin? We’ve highlighted a handful of some fabulous new products in the male grooming arena to give you a head start.
1. The luscious range of men’s products by Molton Brown will leave you zinging with products like the re-charge black pepper body wash (RRP £16 for 300ml) - unbeatable after a long day, its deeply aromatic spicy fragrance helps boost circulation and will reawaken your senses.
The new black pepper eau de toilette (RRP £35 for 50ml) will further lift your mind and mood with hints of Italian coriander, Egyptian cumin, Indonesian patchouli and Nigerian ginger.

2. Clarins MEN has numerous fabulous products for the less-fair sex, including the new Skin Difference (RRP £26.50 30ml) . Designed to be applied each night before bed, this innovative serum serves to condition skin and improve the shaving experience the next morning. With regular use, shaving becomes quicker, easier and more effective, while your skin will feel smoother and less scratchy. Superb.
Clarins MEN products are available from most leading department stores.

3. The Skin Intelligence for Men range from Elemis features 7 specifically designed treatment products for male grooming – all fuss-free, results-driven and surrounded in sleek midnight black packaging that will look stylish on any bathroom shelf. With components like the Smooth Result Shave Oil and the award-winning S.O.S Survival Cream, its no wonder that the England Rugby Team were delighted to receive their complementary Universal Traveller pack of Time for Men and bodycare essentials on their flight home after the Rugby world Cup this summer.
Elemis products are available from selected Elemis salons, including Cream Beauty Boutique in Sheringham (01263 825266).
