THE MANLY SHELF
I thought it was about time my other half made an appearance on here. You’ve met him before in this hilarious video and this one too, but I don’t think he’s ever had his own blog post. So I got Rich to talk me through his manly shelf and the products he uses. I do use him as a little but of Guinea pig, testing out some of my products but these are the ones he’s stuck by and added into his routine. He definitely didn’t have any kind of skincare routine before he met me, but I think he’s proud to say he likes to take care of his skin. I recorded him talking me through it and then jotted it down so excuse the over use of “nice” and “good”. Take it away Rich…
“I’ve been using the VO5 Matt Clay since I can remember styling my hair. I like it because it’s a matte effect so it doesn’t look wet when it’s in the hair. I rub it between my fingers to warm it up, then start from crown and work my way out and down. I use the Elemis Skin Clear face wash every night to wash my face, it’s a nice gentle wash. I sometimes use the Elemis Skin Clear Serum too after I wash my face. In the morning I use the Kiehl’s Facial Fuel and this is great because I get a shiny face in the afternoon and this stops it getting as shiny as it used to. It’s also nice and refreshing to use in the morning. In the evenings I’ve been using the Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser because the Kiehl’s has SPF in it so I only use that in the mornings. When I shave I use the Clinique Post-Shave Soother which stops me getting any rashes and calms the skin. Finally, I like to use the Organic Pharmacy Lip & Eye cream which Lily made me buy when I complained of dark circles and chapped lips.”
He’ll have his own male skincare blog in no time!
