I’m not one for all that ‘metro’ male lifestyle business. In my opinion, that’s for guys with too much time on their hands and have their priorities all mixed up. These views have been challenged somewhat of late following my acquaintance with the male skin care brand, Biotherm Homme. It was the Mrs - who you can probably see from this blog knows a thing or two about beauty products and what it takes to look after yourself, who bought me a collection of these products as a special treat. I promised her I would write about my experience so here you go, promise kept!
Cleansing Gel
I’m someone whose skin produces enough grease to run a fish and chip shop. I’ve always been told this will help me to age well, albeit with the occasional unwanted spot.
After just a few days of using the cleansing gel, I noticed an immediate reduction in grease. My skin also feels really smooth. With results so immediate, I wondered whether the rest of the products would be as good???Aquafitness – Shower Gel
This is without doubt the best shower gel I have ever used! I never thought I would feel so strongly about a shower gel but I suppose after years of using the cheaper mass market brands, Ive never known any better. Yes, it makes you feel clean but Id be worried if any shower gel didn’t result in a clean body. What makes this gel so good is the smell. I can only describe it as modern day masculinity. Masculine smells often get mixed up with your dad’s old Brut aftershaves – this is nothing like that. There’s nothing ‘girly’ about the smell either. Its fresh, lathers up well (if that floats your boat) and smells fantastic. This will be on all future birthday lists!High Recharge Yeux
The Mrs probably knew that as soon as I opened this, I would say this wouldn’t work and was simply a gimmick – she wasn’t wrong! But like all things in life, I'm willing to give it go…
Described as an anti-fatigue cold eye serum, its supposed to give the eye’s an instant recharge as well as help to reduce the appearance of dark circles – great for those early mornings after a night out on the tiles. The description is pretty accurate. It does give you a pretty instant boost – a bit like splashing your face with cold water, minus the water. It's hard to admit but I quite like it because it does work! The only slight drawback is that the ball doesn’t always roll perfectly over the skin and the ‘wake-up’ feeling it gives you doesn’t last long enough.Aquapower – Absolute Gel
It's basically a moisturiser. It was only a 50 ml size tube, but you don’t really need that much. It smells quite fresh and has that same masculine smell which ive come to recognise as distinctly unique to the Biotherm brand. Result: Another thumbs up!
So how would I describe the Biotherm Homme brand to my other like minded blokes? Proper skin care stuff for the modern day geeza.
