Then comes the question of how to make this year’s gift surprising and different from the last. Now that we are heading into the last minute dash with just four days to go until the day, gifts are going to be flying off the shelves!

Are you looking for healthcare gifts to give to a man in your life this Christmas? Then these fantastic range of products could be what you are looking for.

Did You Know?

Did you know that in Manchester, the average temperature during Winter is 4 degrees? Our skin is vulnerable to being dry from not only dehydration, but from the cold. This is why we need to stock up on lip care products especially in winter to stop them from becoming chapped. Luckily we are transitioning out of the winter solstice, which means days will gradually get longer with warmer days ahead! These products will make great gifts this Christmas for those with dry skin and want to maintain their health into the New Year.

Last Minute Premium 

If you are looking for something a little more premium to buy this year, Monroe have a luxurious set of skincare items which could make the perfect gift. Their high-end products focus on high quality skin care for men.

The three that I got to review was the scented hand lotion, moisturiser and shave balm along with a jar of exfoliator and pore minimiser. These three products arrived in a lovely and secure black and gold pouch, fantastic when it comes to giving them as Christmas gifts. They are already wrapped beautifully and discreetly. The wonderful design with black and gold gives the gift a luxury feel and makes the perfect product to give as a gift.

When men shave, men with sensitive skin can suffer from razor rash and can make our skin irritable and red. This is a re-occurring problem for males especially to those that shave every day. I love how Monroe Harley Street have taken this into consideration. After using the product, my skin felt soft and smooth for hours and is a must have for men to use all year round.

The pore minimiser is great at taking down the redness from skin after shaving. Skin goes from oily to feeling clean and smooth. A wonderful product for helping to reduce spots and pimples as well as blackheads which are the leading cause.

The pricing of these products range between £30-£100.

These products can be bought in Monroe Harley Street London or through their online store here: https://www.monroeoflondon.co.uk/?variant=873072525330

Last Minute Luxury

Alternatively, Bioderma offer a wide variety of skincare products for male grooming. These luxury items are scientifically proven to take down spots and get rid of blackheads.

If one of your New Year’s resolutions this year is to maintain your skin better, this product will help greatly. Their H2O moisturising cream, cleansing foam gel and cleansing solution set will help achieve your goal. This set can be used together to help take down acne and is great for men who have acne prone skin. Not only that, but men with sensitive skin tend to develop spots after shaving. These products would make a great gift for men who want to do a full skin cleanse.

The products are great for using all year round and make a great gift for a man in your life who you would know benefit from using these skincare products.

The pricing of these products range between £5-£26.

They can be purchased from Boots pharmacy stores across Manchester and London. For Christmas they are 3 for 2, even better!

Last Minute Affordable

Moosehead is an Australian brand who have launched their product in UK Primark stores. Their facial wash is a great affordable way to help smooth the skin and minimise black heads. They are the leading problem to spots and pimples. Oily skin sufferers are more prone to the build of blackheads, which slowly transform into spots if not treated.

You can find these products in the home section and on the counter at Manchester’s Primark. The store is located on Market Street with the home section on the top floor. The space offers a wide range of health and beauty stocking fillers besides the Mooshead product.

These include coconut water, Nivea shower gels and even men’s very own face masks! Primark have done something a little different just for men and what is even better is that these products are all under £4.  They are affordable stocking fillers and are a great accompaniment for other health and beauty products.

An interesting male grooming product is the set of volcanic ash and charcoal unclog pore strips. Charcoal is an element that is fitting into the healthcare market, proven with minerals to completely strip away blackheads.

 

From everyone at VIVA, have a great Christmas and 2018!
