Being the great Fiancee/Girlfriend I am I appreciate that it’s not just us girlies who suffer with skin issues when Jack Frost comes around which is why I was quick to pick up this fab little set for Mike when I was wandering Sephora last week. Of course I also wanted to use him as my boy product guinea pig, but hey, that’s beside the point!
Jack Black is a brand that I’ve known about for a while but never seen in the flesh up until now. For those not familiar with the brand they provide real and simple skincare options for men that go beyond just soap and water.
The Save Face Shave & Moisture Duo contains travel-sized tubes of their bestselling Beard Lube (88ml) and Double Duty Moisturiser (44ml). The set cost $15 in Sephora (in-store only), but if you’re in the UK you can find it for £23 from Mankind.
So on to the review…
First up we have the Beard Lube.
What they say…
“An entirely new way to shave. Unlike traditional shaving foams and gels which can dry out skin, our award winning Beard Lube is a pre-shave oil, shave cream and facial skin treatment in one easy-to-use product specially formulated for men’s shaving needs.”
What Mike says…
“I often find shaving foam a bit too thick and drying to my skin but the Beard Lube helped my razor glide over my skin easily, reducing the risk of irritation. This has quickly become a staple in my shaving routine and I can see myself stocking up on this again once I’ve used up this tube.”
And finally the Double Duty Moisturiser.
What they say…
“The emollient formula visibly improves skin’s overall appearance and provides lasting hydration without oiliness or heaviness. Contains potent antioxidants and vitamins, and offers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection to help shield skin from premature aging due to sun exposure.”
What Mike says…
“I’ve been using this after shaving since Gem brought it home and have found it to have a good balance between being really moisturising whilst not leaving my skin greasy. Even after just one use I could see the difference in my skin. I will definitely buy this again in the future”
If you’re not stateside don’t panic, Boots have a great 3 for 2 offer on Jack Black products running at the moment.
