Men's Beauty Tip Monday - Shaving Series 5/6 Sssooooooothing......

Last weeks tip (Instagram only sorry! @princesshannahs) was to be careful about any irritants that you may be applying to your face, if they're stinging or sore to apply then they are not working for you!! 

So what will...

I've been doing some research online into different products, reading hundreds of reviews etc and I've picked 2 of the most highly rated, both quite pricey, but users said they lasted for months so well worth it for people struggling with sore skin.

First Up, One of my Favoruite skin care brands Clinique. I think when you buy any facial product from Clinique your on to a winner. This is their Post Shave Healer...£18.00 75ml

What Clinique Say -

* lightweight
* comforting
* provides relief for redness and razor burn

What users say -

* one bottle lasts a long time
* not too scented
* leaves skin soft
* good for sensitive skin



Second product that have amazing reviews online is an American brand called Menscience, you can't buy it direct from them as they only ship to America but you can go to mankind.co.uk and buy their products there.

This is the Menscience Post Shave Repair Spray...£24.30




What Menscience say -

* calms redness & razor burn
* combats ingrown hairs
* softens! refreshes & tones

What users say -

* helped with acne, razor burns & bumps
* helped with irritation from shaving
* easy to apply
* no residue
* very calming


Also what I thought was great about this is that it comes as a spray which is quite unusual, normally for a soothing product you think of creams or balms that you massage into the skin. This product was also recommended in GQ magazine, high praise indeed. 

Obviously everyone's skin is different, I haven't tried these products so can't recommend which one would be the better option, however, I have researched this subject quite in depth, looking at what the industry says about both the company and the product, and what actual users have said about them, I've just put it all together so it's all in one place for you.

I really think spending money on facial products that you use daily is well worth it, especially if it's helping to lessen irritation and pain, and not make your dread  when it's time to shave again!

Also worth a mention mankind.co.uk is a great website for you guys to check out!!

Hope you found this helpful, please let me know if you have tried these products or if you are now planning to, would love to know what you think about them.
