I have got a sensitive skin, you wouldn't think it to look at me as I do come across as being a manly man but I have to be careful about using strong soaps and perfumes on my face. I like to use Nivea for Men products for this reason and one of the best ones I use at the moment is the Nivea face wash, which I buy from the supermarket. My dear other half buys this for me when I run out. I pay £1.99 for a 250ml sized tube. This lasts me quite a while though so I reckon it's decent value for money.

I have a long beard (47 inches at its longest point) so I haven't seen the skin on my chin and cheeks for many years. I use this facial wash all over my face and neck and beard and I also find it has the added advantage of making my beard and eyebrows go really soft and fluffy after I have washed with it.

I simply put a small amount onto the palm of my damp hands and massage well into my face and beard. I go right down to the neck and right up to the hairline on my forehead and I also like to use it inside my ears and all around the ear area. I have a thing about keeping my ears scrupulously clean, and as I also have remarkably hairy ears, I find this facial wash helps to soften the ear hairs also.

The facial wash is great smelling. It is certainly not feminine or womanly in its aroma at all, on the contrary, it is quite a masculine smell though a little neutral also at the same time. It makes my skin feel soft and refreshed and very clean and sparkling. I feel rejuvenated after I have used this facial wash and I feel that it really wakens me up if I use it first thing on a morning before I go to work - especially if it is a Monday when I am at my most tired.

I think this is great value for money and I am happy to use it as I don't find it feminine at all as it is designed specifically for blokes. You'd never catch my dear other half using it as she says it is to astringent for her and she doesn't like the smell.

Overall, a fantastic product and I happily recommend.
