Advantages: Nice Smell, Really cleans your face,

Disadvantages: A bit expensive

For the past couple of Christmases I have received loads of miniature Health and Beauty products. This trend was started by my girlfriend as a gentle hint to look after my appearence more. As anyone who read my other Body shop for men product reviews this range is great range of products. However I was unsure of the benefits of face wash.
I am a man that has been brought up simply to use soap and hot water. But I have been using this product daily for roughly two weeks since writing my other reviews. So after two weeks daily usage, what do I honestly think of the product.

The packaging
The product comes in a tube with a flip top lid. This tube comes in two different sizes. The size I received is 50ml and the other size is 100ml. I think the smaller option is only available around the Christmas time of year. The product comes in quite a distinctive tube, which is a greyish, creamy colour. The writing on the tube is very easy to understand and is green is colour, except one line which tells you about the extra good bits that are contained in the product.

Application.
Applying the product is simple. Like all of the other products in the range simply put some water on to you face and then squeeze roughly about enough of the product to cover one or two or your fingertips. Once you do this all you have to simply do is rub into your face. I usually leave for one minute before rinsing the face wash away. This product is a clear liquid and is quite has quite a runny consistency. This is not one of those products that actually feels as though it is going to run away from your grasp down the sink.

The product and my results
One of the things that people care about the most in the modern society is ethical companies and products. This product varies from other products in the body shop for man range as the ethical ingredient in the product is see weed from Ireland. The product also contains the usual mix of multi vitamins A, E and B5. The product is 100% soap free and doesnt give any of the bad touch on the skin that the bar of soap does.

So does it make a difference?
Well that I suppose is the burning question - And yes, I think, it does. I was quite presently surprised as I thought I would never want to use the product and it would not improve my traditional soap and water face wash diet. However I was wrong. My face feels so much cleaner then it did two weeks ago and when used in combination with the other products within the range it helps to provide a face that feels extremely fresh and clean. Whilst giving slight citrus smells. Body shop recommend using this product in conjunction with the face scrub, But I would also use the face protector as well.

I also asked my partner what my face smells like after using the product and the answer was that the product gave a slight citrus smell. This product contains a moisturiser to help with the lather process. Body shop are keen to put moisturiser in these products because a mans face has to put up with more, as a result of the rigours of shaving and that moisture to the face is extremely important

The cost implications

So how much doe it cost? The face wash costs £6 for a 100ml tube. I have also used vouchers from womans magazines for the Body Shop for Men range which generally give 20% off. I am relaiably informed that these reguaraly appear in woman's magazines.
I would recommend this product, Although there may be cheaper alternatives out there that I havent tried yet

Thanks for reading

Summary: A good face cleaner, but there may be cheaper options available
