NEW DECLEOR CLEANSING MOUSSE FOR MEN

OK, it’s not just for men, but I had to get your attention and how else would you discover this new cleansing mousse?

Now some of you Prince Charmings will have your beauty routine down to a fine art but some of you may still be on the misguided path that soap and water is enough. So this blog is divided in to 2 categories:

JUST SOAP AND WATER GUYS

No you can’t use any old soap and no you can’t use your shower gel on your face.

You’re just stripping your skin of its natural oils which will leave it prone to spots, blackheads, redness, dryness and sensitivity, not to mention wrinkles. Yes I know wrinkles on guys can make them rugged and interesting looking, but you’ve got plenty of time for that look so let’s not help nature go down this path prematurely.

The way to great looking skin starts with using the right cleansing product i.e. one that says for the face on the bottle or package. 

The new Decleor Aroma Cleanse is actually great for you beauty routine novices, because it is a 3 in 1 cleanser which means less beauty routine steps for you to follow!!

All you have to do is put a small amount on your hands, mix with water and wash your face with it and the following steps will happen automatically– simple.

Step 1 – Deep cleansing.

 After washing wipe off with one of the damp cotton cloths provided.

Step 2 – Skin Polishing and Perfecting.

 If you’re a soap and water guy you probably have never exfoliated. This cleanser’s ingredients of grapefruit, papaya extract and Japanese mulberry will gently slough away those dull dead skin cells for you.

Step 3 – Hydrating and Plumping.

 Do you use moisturiser? You should, but  for those who don’t at least the cleanser’s  Neroli essential oil will help calm the skin and its Hydauronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in moisture .

And just in case you feel embarrassed using a cleanser, the plain matt white bottle will ensure this mousse will sit unobtrusively along with your shampoos and shower gels.

You may put more emphasis on your moisturisers but if you don’t cleanse correctly and with the right product then all your hard work may be in vain.

Use a cleanser containing too much alcohol and like the soap and water guys, you could be striping your skin of its natural oils. This in turn may set the skin to compensate and produce more oils which result in spots and blackheads.  Some cleansers are designed to use with their toners, so beware if not used with its toner it may leave a residue of grime behind.

The new Decleor Aroma Cleanse is for all skin types and no toner is needed. It is also paraben free.

 As above the cleanser has 3 actions:

1 –Deep Cleansing

It deep cleanses and comes with 2 cotton cloths. Mix a small amount with water and wash the face. Then wipe off with one of the damp cotton cloths. This action helps exfoliate and buff the skin and ensures no residue is left.

2- Skin Polishing and Perfecting.

 You probably do exfoliate and keep up the good work. This cleanser has gentle exfoliating ingredients of grapefruit, papaya extract and Japanese mulberry, so great to use in between your weekly exfoliation.

3- Hydrating and Plumping.

 The nourishing Neroli essential oil and Hylauronic acid in this cleanser are not substitutes for your own moisturiser, but will just give a boost. Hylauronic acid is usually an ingredient found in eye serums and moisturisers to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

So guys – just because the bottle doesn’t say for men, don’t discount it.

ULTIMATE SKINCARE for MEN

Guys, we know you like to look after yourself as much as the women and quite rightly so. In the not so distant past, men were men and had to suffer from dry rough skin. The more daring would secretly pinch some of their wife’s/girlfriend’s creams from the bathroom cabinet.

Now we are wiser and know men can be still men with good smooth skin. There are several cosmetics out there with a fully comprehensive men’s range and no one bats an eye at your purchases.

So now we want to let you into a little secret and tell you about how you can keep your skin looking good.- It’s the unisex Ultimate Skincare, a luxurious skin product with a difference and has been launched at House of Fraser.

And now for the technical part:

Ultimate Skincare was developed by BAD (British Association of Dermatologists) for everyone to use.
As their name suggests BAD do have a wicked sense of humour (but it is for your own good) and what appears to be a pot of the latest breakthrough skin cream on the outside, actually doesn’t contain cream. It contains something better than cream and something that will last you a lifetime – guidance on how to check your skin for changes and so help protect yourself against skin cancer.
Also included inside the pot is a mirror to help you on your way and details of the bespoke website (www.ultimateskincare.org) that hosts all the information people need to learn what to look for.

Surprisingly skin cancer is the no 1 cancer in the UK – maybe it’s because we don’t get enough sunshine, we tend to go mad when it’s out. (Noel Coward said it all in his song “Mad dogs and Englishmen “go out in the midday sun.) And one Briton dies from the disease every four hours!
Luckily, most skin cancers can be stopped if detected early and the best way to protect yourself is to check your skin regularly. And this is where Ultimate Skincare comes in as a recent survey found that half of Britons could not recognise the signs of possible skin cancer and a quarter have never checked their skin.

Well checking for early signs is as simple as ABC (make that ABCDE). Regularly check all of your skin for changes to any moles, or new areas of pigmentation by following these ABCDE rules:
Asymmetry - the two halves of the area may differ in shape.
Border - the edges of the area may be irregular or blurred, and sometimes show notches.
Colour - this may be uneven. Different shades of black, brown and pink may be seen.
Diameter - most melanomas are at least 6mm across. Report any change in size or shape to your doctor.
Expert - if in doubt, check it out. If your GP is concerned about your skin, make sure you see a consultant dermatologist - an expert in diagnosing skin cancer. Your GP can refer you via the NHS.

Now you know the secret and how simple the process of keeping your skin looking good is, add it to your own daily beauty regime and don’t keep it a secret, pass it on.
