If your man is into stylish grooming, you could do no better this Christmas
than introduce him to Molton Brown. Better known for its LUXY skin and cosmetic
products for the ladies, Molton Brown also has a great men’s range. Here
are three of our favourites. Start the day with an aromatic adventure, using
Re-Charge Black Pepper Body Wash £12 (300ml). Steeped in detoxifying
black pepper oil, this spice-infused gel will boost circulation and leave skin
feeling deeply cleansed. Before that dreaded shave, brighten up by using Refreshing
Facial Micro-Exfoliator £16 (125ml), a blend of olive leaves, lemon,
papaya plant enzymes, and jojoba that helps free in-growing hairs and rinse
away dead skin. Finally if those party nights have been taking their toll on
your eyes, banish bags and dark circles with Amino-Therapy
Eye Treatment £23
(12ml). For £30 you can also become a Molton Brown Adventurer and enjoy
a selection of these products in a neat adventurer bag.
