Hi Lovelies! I’m going
to be trying something a little different. The husband will be sharing his
grooming and skincare journey with us starting today.
From this specific
post I’ve tried a few of the products. The Protective Moisturiser is simply
wonderful, especially if your skin is a little oily. I also LOVE using the
Cooling Shaving gel on my legs.
Anyway I hope you
enjoy this! Let me know in the comments!
Love and sparkles

Most men, me included, don’t realise the importance of
looking after their skin. For the longest time, there has been a resistance and a misconception
that skincare was only for women. That idea is completely ridiculous and out-dated. But where do we begin?
The starting point of any skincare regime is comprised of 2
basic products, an exfoliating scrub and a moisturiser. For me, these products
come in the form of the NIVEA MEN Originals Exfoliating Face Scrub and the
NIVEA MEN Originals Protective Moisturiser SPF 15. Fortunately for those of us
that are rather forgetful, it is not necessary to use the Exfoliating Face
Scrub every day. It is suggested that the Scrub be used 3 times a week. The
Exfoliating Face Scrub helps to clean and unblock pores and removes any dry
skin from the face. Combining the Exfoliating Face Scrub with the Protective
Moisturiser provides a great source of moisture to the face. Also, the Protective
Moisturiser does contain SPF, which; needless to say; is absolutely imperative especially if you don't want a leathery face and to age 500 years in just 1 year.
For those with oily skin, NIVEA has provided the NIVEA MEN
Oil Control Multi Effect Face Wash and NIVEA MEN Oil Control Multi Effect Gel
Moisturiser. The NIVEA MEN Oil Control Multi Effect Face Wash contains a formulation
of Carnitine, Salicylic Acid Technology and Mineral Magnesium. This provides
exfoliation, which deeply cleans the pores and removes excess oil. It also
helps control shine and breakouts without leaving the skin feeling dry or
tight. The NIVEA MEN Oil Control Multi Effect Gel Moisturiser can be combined
with the Multi Effect Face Wash to manage the skins oil-moisture balance as
well as providing assistance with shine and breakout control.
Finally, we come to shaving, the bane of my existence. The
idea of running a blade across my skin is a rather daunting thought.
Fortunately, NIVEA makes it a slightly less painful exercise. Their range
includes the NIVEA MEN Originals Moisturising Shaving Foam for normal skin and
the NIVEA MEN Sensitive Cooling Shaving Gel for sensitive skin. Both of these products provide fantastic
lubrication for the razor blade and soften stubble to reduce friction. The
Moisturising Shaving Foam contains Aloe Vera to provide moisture to the skin while
the Cooling Shaving Gel contains Camomile and Seaweed to prevent irritation and
burning.
After shaving, it is necessary to close pores to prevent any
breakouts. For this, we have the NIVEA MEN Sensitive Cooling Aftershave Splash
and NIVEA MEN Sensitive Cooling Post Shave Balm. Both of these contain Camomile
and Seaweed, which helps soothe skin irritation and alleviates dryness and
redness. The best part of all these
shaving products is that they do all that is expected of them with 0% ethyl
alcohol.
So here we are, at a point where men all over the world are
embracing skincare. And for some of us (me), the transition into a grooming
regime can be daunting to say the least; it is great that NIVEA is here to
nudge us the right direction.
