Now beauty is not something I usually worry about, after all when you look this good naturally why should you? Seriously though, the only thing I do in the facial department is use Clearasil wipes and haven?t even thought about using anything else! Of course I do use moisturising lotion (E45 and the like) on other parts of my body (namely my stump and skin grafts)! It was that time of the year again when certain members of the family with no inclination to go shopping for novel or unusual presents began to ask the age old question ?What do you want for Christmas?. Racking my brain (took the whole of a second) there was nothing I really wanted unless they would ...  Read the complete review

A look of shock and disbelief comes over some blokes faces when I say I moisturise my skin daily. There?s a stigma attached in the majority of the male world that it?s quite a vain thing to do. Well if you have dry skin like me then it?s not vain, it?s just necessity. Not only that but it means my skin looks more healthy and no doubt will do in years to come. Then I?ll be having the last laugh! For quite a few years I?d been using the Aloe Vera moisturiser from The Body Shop. It wasn?t cheap at around £6 but it lasted a while and had a tendency to cause some of my facial hair to become highlighted. ...  Read the complete review

Areas of my face have a tendency to become dry and flaky during periods of warm weather, and periods of cold weather, don't ask me why, it just happened. I received this Nivea for Men Intensive Cream one day after my mother had been shopping. So, obviously I went upstairs into the bathroom to try it out immediately. I opened up the cardboard packaging and found inside a cool looking blue glass pot which I thought looked very attractive, so plus points immediately for an aesthetically pleasing product! But, I was not there just to admire the packaging, I was there to see if this cream actually worked! It is a pretty thick cream which means you do not ...  Read the complete review

I received this product as a bit of a stocking-filler last Christmas and thought it looked good. Packaging is really nice and the glass pot is a nice touch, it makes it fell like you own a qualit product. Whilst this was certainly an 'intensive' moisturiser, i.e. it certainly does moisturise dry skin, v. quickly and only a minimal amount has to be applied there is a major downside. The product, even though I used only small amounts on my skin, made my skin very oily. Now this is not necesaril a fault with the product, all skin products are made for a specific skin type. However I dont usually suffer from oily skin. It certainly ...  Read the complete review

Everybody should be able to moisturise if they want to - it may be a little embarrassing at first but you soon get used to it! I used to have one big problem with shaving rashes, spots and all sorts of skin problems after shaving. Loads of irritation and soreness - so I had to do something about it. I walked into the chemist around the male skincare products looking for moisturising face washes and then I saw the Nivea Intensive creme. This was when I decided to give it a try, after a couple of days I felt the difference! My skin had lost all the shaving rashes, spots and my face was no longer sore or itchy. The more I used it, the better my skin became; and ...  Read the complete review
