Berrichi For Men – Smoothing Age Defence

I’m always a bit flummoxed when it comes to choosing my own skincare, which is why I turn the trusted team at The Amazing Blog to give me a bit of direction. My wish-list isn’t always easy and this time I requested a face cream that would be light enough to absorb quickly, offer excellent protection against the elements, and also must be gentle enough not sting straight after shaving. A tall order indeed! They suggested For Men - Smoothing Age Defence from an award-winning Estonian skincare Berrichi where they recently reviewed their Day Age Defence and Night Power Defence here.

Founded by Berit Joosep, the brand started life with its artisan skincare in Joosep’s kitchen, where she drew inspiration from books on herbal culture and ancient beauty techniques. Today Berrichi is a multi-award-winning skincare brand (see The Beauty Shortlist Editor’s Choice Award here) it has expanded worldwide and is recognised for leading the way with ‘clean beauty’ and its unique botanicals.

This Smoothing Age Defence,  I was reliably informed, is a 24-hour high-performance anti-ageing skincare with unique Estonian ingredients. Reading more about their range Berrichi’s For Men, I discovered that their skincare has powerful algae-based antioxidants with astaxanthin and furchellaran which helps kick into action hydration, protection from UV radiation and slows down skin ageing. Well, that’s ticked off most of my asks! The other key ingredients here are organic oils from avocado and jojoba; plus the addition of apricot kernel, cacay nut oils and aloe vera leaf juice. The quote on their stylish black box also brought a wry smile to my lips: “Age might not bring you wisdom, age brings you wrinkles….” Having put this wonder cream to the test, it performed exceptionally well and had the advantages of being fragrance-free and light as a feather. It comes in an airtight pump bottle, is free from parabens, sulphates and is vegan, natural, organic and cruelty-free. Impressed? Then purchase your 50 ml bottle for 39€ here.

Danielle Creations - Damn Handsome - Gentlemen in D-Stress Emergency Tin

There’s no getting away with it boys, the pressure on us all to present the very best version of ourselves on a daily basis gets turned up a notch every time we step outside. There was a time when a visit to the gym three times a week, maybe the odd protein shake, and the briefest moments spent putting our outfit together for the day ahead would suffice. However, now the girls at The Amazing Blog tell me that we are now in a new world of reality TV, a never-ending stream of must-have products or procedures, and of course devices which capture every untucked shirt, bad shave mishap which can then be splashed across Social Media for our competitors to troll …!

The Ultimate Sea Salt Spray For Real Men by the Bluebeards Revenge
