We sent our (hairy and anonymous) guinea pig off to try some laser hair removal at Therapie Clinic in Dublin. I am man, hear me roar! The latter part being the key word during the numerous painful waxing sessions I've endured over the past few years. Reminiscing back to my early secondary school days I remember the lads boasting about how they were shaving and were sprouting a couple … [Read more...]
Getting pampered in the beauty salon and indulging in luxurious treatments was once the sole preserve of the female of the species, but the last decade has seen a huge surge in men availing of the latest anti-aging, rejuvenating and relaxing treatments. It seems that men are now as conscious of the ageing process and personal grooming as women and have no qualms about attending a salon or clinic … [Read more...]

Regular readers will know that I’m not the biggest fan of men-specific skincare. My view is that I’ve been using ‘women’s’ skincare for many years and, for the most part, these have worked well on my skin. My biggest issue with skincare aimed at men is the scent, with many often smelling like a pungent cologne. However, every now and then a male skincare product comes along that I … [Read more...]
Regular readers will know that I love a bit of pampering, and I especially love a relaxing spa treatment or two. Set over three floors of the iconic Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin, the Shelbourne Spa opened its doors last November, and boasts exclusive therapies developed with natural products, including signature rituals and treatments created by world-renowned brands, Elemis and Pevonia. The … [Read more...]
For years, certain hair finishing products have had a bad rap; with many people ending up with greasy looking locks rather than a cool tousled finished look. This tends to be down to the fact that they simply use too much product (less is more, seriously), but used correctly creams, waxes and hair putties are great for keeping a short or choppy style in check. There are several new products on the … [Read more...]
I’m a big fan of Yon-Ka products, simply because I find they work well on my skin and always smell divine. One of my favourites, Pamplemousse For Normal to Oily Skin, is perfect for my oily/combination skin. This lightweight cream boasts a lively scent of citrus fruit which alleviates dullness, and enlivens and brightens the skin tone. Active ingredients help to protect the skin from … [Read more...]

I’ve been a fan of Philosophy’s Hope in a Jar moisturiser since a friend brought me back a jar from America some time ago, so I was looking forward to trying the spin-off serum, When Hope is Not Enough. When hope is not enough, geddit? The promise? “This super-lightweight, oil-free antioxidant serum promises to tone, firm and reduce and prevent wrinkles. This multitasking treatment … [Read more...]
When I was asked to attend the launch of a skincare range called Pukka, for a moment I immediately thought that Jamie Oliver had branched out. After all he has practically copyrighted the word. As wonderful as Jamie’s cooking is I wasn’t sure I would entrust my skin to him. Thankfully my fears were allayed when I discovered that it wasn’t anything to do with him and rather the brainchild of … [Read more...]
