Hello!

My husband has quite congested skin – although it doesn’t seem to bother him, I’d love for it to improve. I am always hinting for him to use products such as a face wash regularly. I just can’t quite get him keen on the idea… so wondering if anyone can recommend a product their partner loves to use? And if they love something, do you think it’s because of the scent/texture/brand/packaging? I’d like to try and sneak something that works, that he will actually want to use, into his shower routine! What are some face product recommendations for men?

  • Dove have an excellent range of men’s personal care products. They’re great on the hair, face and body. And they smell DIVINE!


  • Nivea for Men is what my other half uses, not that he’d admit to any of his friends that he uses skin-care. But it works for him.


  • He would love the entire Mr. Essentials range! http://www.navycrockett.com.au/mr.-essentials


  • the nivea for men range is really good I think!


  • oxy is designed for men, it works well


  • I got my hubby an enjo face cloth he loves it


  • I like my man to look like a man personally but maybe you could buy him an all over body scrub that he can wash himself with in the shower. Or spice it up and give each other a facial every week, If you promise something for dessert you may tempt him.


  • Norwex body cloths. I swear by them.


  • Try the moo goo milk wash – its gentle enough for the face and great for body wash too – so he can easily quickly wash his face in the shower. Great for sensitive skin coz they use all natural ingredients and no nasties – I suffer badly from psoriasis and will never use anything else again unless I’m desperate – you can buy it online or check their website for stockists near you. Plus it’s an australian company so great to support local business and workers.


  • Nivea for men is liked by the men in this house.


  • My man would never use face products. He shaves once a week, has a stubble but I must say his skin is super soft. I would say Nivea if I had to choose something for him as Nivea is a brand I trust. I don’t mind the whiskers cause I know in a few days it’ll be all soft again.


  • My husband has had a love affair with Biotherm Homme since before we met. Cleanser, scrub, moisturiser and shaving cream. He does have beautiful skin tho! My father likes Clarins Men. If only I could afford such routines!!!


  • Cetaphil is great for oily skin :)


  • Nutrimetics have great men’s ranges :)
    Nutrimetics Trundle is on FB


  • avon and gaia
