Whether you’re a guy or shopping for a guy who is facing skin issues, the Elemis Time For Men range offers outstanding products you don’t want to miss. Very much familiar with the British luxury brand but new to the gender specific sub-line, I have been sporting the Skin Soothe Shave Gel, Time Defence Eye Reviver, and S.O.S. Survival Cream. Ambitious and effective, these impressive formulas are a great match for all types of men–sensitive to thick skinned.
Gentle and invigorating, the Aloe Based Skin Soothe Shave Gel contains encapsulated spheres of Jojoba Oil and marine extracts. The formula is infused with anti-inflammatory Witch Hazel, Arnica, and Chamomile, which makes it nourishing and conditioning. Cooling menthol revives first thing in the morning and delivers a burst of energy to the skin. When applied to damp skin after cleansing, this non-foaming gel hydrates and softens, and provides an incredibly close shave without irritation. Any upright tube with a flip top cap is golden in the shower so they’ve earned a bonus point for practical packaging!
Nobody gets off the hook from using an eye cream, including guys, so Elemis delivers a simple and exciting formula to cover this important step in every skincare regimen. The Time Defence Eye Reviver is a lightweight cream created specifically for the delicate skin around the eye. Featuring Intelligent Adaptogenic Technology, its airy texture provides continuous hydration to the areas that need it most. Loaded with Ginseng, Acacia, and Pomegranate Extracts, the Eye Reviver fights puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles. Ideal for morning and night, this pump bottle should find home in your medicine cabinet, fridge, gym bag, or the desk drawer. Pick one up. Or four.
The S.O.S. Survival Cream is rich and powerful–and while it won’t make you either– it makes for a great daily moisturizer, especially for guys with drier skin types. Those battling occasional irritation, dehydration, or sensitivity, this Elemis treatment restores moisture levels since it protects and soothes in a single application. Fueled by sea derived ingredients with Myrrh, Lavender, and Eucalyptus, this blend comforts stressed skin upon contact. Almost balm-like, it spreads easily and absorbs well, but because of its consistency, you’re best applying it sparingly. Too intense for daily use on my combination skin, it is a wonderful emergency fix when my face needs its ‘dewy’ back.
Every guy looking to make over his medicine cabinet and complexion needs to explore Elemis Time For Men. Full on prestige, the quality products elevate the grooming experience and deliver visible results. Straightforward, on point, and totally worth the splurge, this ‘just for men’ face care range is very much remarkable.
