Skincare giants Clarins
have just launched Clarins for men. This skincare
regime provides a no-nonsense, quick and efficient skincare system
specially formulated for male skin.
Male skin is denser and thicker than women’s (by around 25%),
retains moisture better and is slightly oilier. Furthermore, it
is exposed to more irritants such as shaving products and often
is treated with harsh products because of a lack of alternatives
for male skin. The Clarins for men range hopes to address these
issues and give men a gentle, easy and effective method of having
great skin, quickly and without too many products.
The range is just of nine products for male skin only. Clarins
have used Bison grass Chinese Galanga and Purslane, ingredients
that are seldom used in female skincare, to specifically cater for
the demands of men’s skin. These ingredients simply energise,
soothe, purify, protect and firm.
Unlike female skin, male skin is less likely to change and is more
stable and most men have similar skin types. This no nonsense approach
to male skin and recognition of male requirements in the Clarins
for men range has been receiving great reviews and is converting
men all over the country to cleanse and slap on the creams.
The Telegraph Magazine on the 21st September 2002
commented that these products “once purchased…should
be hidden from girlfriends/mothers/sisters.”
The Financial Times supplement “How
to Spend it” on the weekend of the 7th–8th
September stated that “Industry insiders believe that if any
skincare company can turn the male moisturiser into a money-spinner,
Clarins with its range of pleasant, clean-smelling, plant based
products, can. Clarins for men with its idiot proof packaging…and
down-to-earth approach, appears to have got it right.”

Firming
Moisture Gel 50ml : £19.95
The moisture gel in the Clarins for men range instantly cools
and soothes irritated skin. This is a great moisturiser specially
formulated for men. It helps replace moisture in male skin
and helps soften what are genetically tougher skins. Furthermore,
unlike most female skincare products, Clarins for men cater
for the probability that men have cuts and nicks on their
face due to shaving and have added an ingredient that stimulates
the skins healing process while preventing discomfort on the
cut area. These wonder moisturisers also contain skin firming
properties to help remove wrinkles and saggy bits, while helping
the skin to protect itself further against the signs of ageing
by including an anti-pollution agent. This moisture gel is
more than just a moisturiser; it's a complete arsenal against
the problems that your skin faces on a daily basis. |

moisture for tough male skins, recharging and energising the
skin. Great after a hard day at the office! Your skin will
look brighter and more attractive, ready to face the world.
Not just any moisturiser, this moisture balm by Clarins equips

Shave
Ease 2 in 1 Oil 30ml : 14.99
This two in one shave oil by Clarins, may not look like much
but a little goes a long way. Apply before the Clarins for
men Smooth Shave Gel to help soften any hair growth to prevent
painful ingrowing hairs. This shave oil can however be used
on its own as an alternative to the foaming gel, for those
who prefer the feel of an oil on their skin. Clarins for men
have used a unique formula to ensure that the oil helps achieve
a very smooth finish whilst shaving. The small size of this
shave oil makes it perfect for taking on holiday, in your
gym bag or on a business trip. |
