Men's products.....have you used them?
18 posts, 14 members
Hi ladies, I was wondering if anyone in here has used men's facial care before? I just ask because I would assume the fact that they shave their face they would require sensitive sort skin care regimes. I have dry skin and wondered if it was worth giving it a go to see if it would make a difference.
Interesting question.I wondered too about Mens beauty products but of course they probably are called grooming products.I have a son and SIL with sensitive skin and bought the Nivea for men(sensitive)I did sneak a wee bit of facial cleanser BUT mens products are designed to soften the bristles and exfoliate their skin before shaving.It was definitely stronger,tingling on my face but I went a bit further and tried it on my legs before exfoliating .It was great for that as it really lifted the dry skin and freed the hairs ready for removal .Actually it would definitely wake you up and leave you all tingly inthe morning. :)
I tried the eye cream which was OK but once again more manly perfumed.
Now fess up who else has had a wee trial of their mans products?(We all know they use our stuff)

I'm no cosmetic expert, but my understanding is that Men's products are for 'sensitive' skin but are actually quite abrasive.
Having active thick hair follicles (like men do, and everyone has on their head) creats more oil compared to skin with less/fine hair. So I think men's products are targeted at removing this extra oil and remove any gunk that builds up around them. This could explain the tingling you get when you use guys products, because our follicles are much thinner and not used to such a vigorous clean?
And as mentioned above I think they do work to soften the hair and make it easier to get a close cut, but because of my previous point not sure theyd be any good?

Like Marleen I too enjoy using the shaving cream and razor and some of the body washes are quite refreshing.I have seen hubby use my moisturiser,hair conditioner and shampoo but as yet not my lipstick although he uses a lip salve
I found this survey whihc was 2013 and would love to know what our men use too.

I used to sneak a bit of The Husbands' Men's Science cleanser when my skin was really breaking out - and I loved it, it made my skin feel sooooo clean, and not dry either.Other than that I leave his stuff alone. Men's shower wash/deoderant scents are too strong for my liking. Funnily enough, moisturisers I buy that I find too harsh on my skin (or too oil inducing) are often sent his way, and he loves them (as long as they're not too strongly scented, ha!).
Let me see. I have used hubby's moisturiser a few times when I ran out. Can't say my face felt any better or worse than when I'm using my own. So, really not bad. Until I got divorced from hubby no. 1, I have used a men's razor to shave. Ex had his and I had mine. Why? To be honest, the shave for me is much better, closer and I feel hairless for a lot longer. I went back to female razors when I was single as I didn't want any guy that I might be interested in get the wrong idea. Happy with hubby no. 2 and still using female razors (might switch back again hahahahah). Also, a few times in the past, I have used men's deoderant. Brut is one of my favourite smells and also some of the Lynx smells. I'm not a girly girl but I'm not a butch girl either, I just think with some stuff the men products are either equal or maybe even better :)
