After the last post my partner Matt has become,
how do I say this?! Umm a little addicted to blogging. He loves being able to
get his word out without anybody trying to change his opinion. So once again I
will pass you over to him (hoping he doesn’t take my blog over soon haha.)
Well I knew this Father’s Day would be a little
sneaky with my partner (Erin) and I would have no idea what was sent to her and
what she actually bought (if at all, so I didn’t say anything.) But I was very
overwhelmed at how spoilt I was when it came to all the gifts.
I know this gift did not get bought as I watched
her open it when I got home and my eyes instantly (secretly) went all wide and
I may have got a little excited. After all she gets so many packages these
days, it is nice to see that I am cared about and get a little surprise here
and there.
The pack that arrived at our door was from
Neutrogena and it was a couple of their manly men’s range. I received two of their scrubs and thought to myself why would they send two.. But it was great to compare the two and really see the difference between them. I know they are both scrubs but they both work in totally different ways and have very different looks and textures.
NEUTROGENA® Men’s range makes a great manly gift as it contains everything for a great
skin care routine. With honest, easy to use products that leave the skin
looking and feeling clear you will be healthy and clean skin without the
expensive price tag!
The range includes:
NEUTROGENA® Men’s
Cooling Cleansing Gel
NEUTROGENA® Men’s Skin
Clearing Shave Cream
NEUTROGENA® Men’s
Triple Protection Face Lotion SPF15
NEUTROGENA® Men’s Face
Scrub
I received a couple of these products and they
were:
Neutrogena Men’s Cooling Cleansing Gel $8.99
Specifically designed for a man’s face Neutrogena Mens
cooling cleansing gel is a foaming gel
cleanser with a cooling lather that works down to your dirtiest pores without
over-drying.
Feel
refreshed with a face wash that removes excess surface oil and dirt to improve
your skin’s overall healthy look.
I Looking at this product my first impression was
it was going to smell minty and like I was rubbing toothpaste all over my face
like what I’ve experienced with other cooling washes and scrubs. But surprisingly
this smelt like the other products and had a real masculine smell to it. I only
use this once every two weeks but it will become more often as the weather
warms up. There are two different sized exfoliating beads within this gel and
both are very gentle on my skin. I know I wouldn’t take the risk of irritating my
skin but I reckon I could almost use this right after a shave without effecting
my skin what so ever!!
Neutrogena Men’s Face Scrub $11.99
Razor Defense® Face Scrub
makes skin less sensitive to shaving and helps prevent razor irritation. This
innovative daily facial scrub gently exfoliates skin without overdrying or
irritation. At the same time, it conditions skin and actually softens facial
hair, so you get a closer, less-irritating shave.
Making your skin less
sensitive to shaving is as easy as washing your face.
Oil-free
Dye-free
Before shaving I always use a wash product to
clean out my pores but since using one bad scrub I have kind of steered clear
of them. I felt almost obliged to try this out though when it was sent to me
for review. I had to face the little fear I had inside me and get it over and
done with. The first thing I noticed in this scrub was the beads were a lot
smaller and not so coarse on my hands. And then once it was applied to my skin
I could barely tell it was an exfoliator. The only way I could tell it was an
exfoliator is by the way my skin was left afterwards.
I would also like to thank Neutrogena for helping
me overcome my little fear of exfoliators and will also be using this to the
end. Although I did find my skin dried out and decided rather then using it
ever second night I would only use it once a week. Thanks guys J
