After various popularity spikes throughout the year, we have enlisted the help of male grooming expert Alex Dalley, to help us sort the men from the boys in this skin care category, ultimately steering you through the world of men's anti-ageing with comparative ease. So Alex, it’s over to you…


Whether you're a man on a budget, looking for a timely bathroom bargain, or simply a novice in the world of men's cosmetics and are looking for some much needed guidance, there’s certainly the right product out there for you. Regardless of your current state of play gentlemen, get your hands on some of the industry's biggest game changers and make wrinkles, sun spots and disastrously sagging skin quite simply a thing of the past.


When searching for the right product, the first thing to take note of is to be on the lookout for specialist anti-ageing ingredients. With my personal favorites being Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide. Such ingredients have superior moisturising, soothing and pigmentation correcting properties that I have found give the very best results in the men I have treated previously.


When it comes to products themselves, start off with the hugely popular BullDog Anti-Ageing Moisturiser, a relatively inexpensive anti-ageing product, well worth adding to your arsenal. An all-natural and non-greasy moisturizer, that quickly sinks in, this anti-ager powerhouse is valued at just £8.50 and blocks the appearance of tired and elastic skin, two of the biggest no no’s when trying to turn back the hands of time.


Enriched with Anti-Ageing benefits, L’Oréal Men Expert's Vita Lift 5 face cream is a little more expensive at £13.00, but harnesses the power of Pro Retinol, a potent anti-wrinkle ingredient, to fend off the most common signs of ageing, including fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. Firm and tone in one quick hit with this superbly scented men's face cream that offers all day long antioxidant protection.


Next, it's the super charged power of the very impressive Polaar Men Anti-Ageing Care, a moisturizer for men that quite simply blows the competition out of the water. Derived with ingredients specially sourced from the Arctic and Antarctic regions of the globe, Polaar Men quite simply take your skin's recovery into the fast lane, with their tremendous age reversal benefits and skin cell boosting formulas. With a reinforced anti-ageing action PPNF3, Activderm and Liftskin Express, comes a trio of technologies that combine to make you look up to eight years younger within just 4-6 weeks. Powered also with expert Marine Plankton, Polaar Men's Anti-Ageing Care lifts, firms and smooths the skin surface, leaving common age related blemishes running for the hills.

For when it all gets just a little too much


Two years ago, British Based MMUK MAN was born, bringing with it the introduction of a specially formulated set of male cosmetics onto the makeup for men market. Including in their captivating range is their marquee product, the MMUK MAN Concealer For Men. The rise in the cosmetically hungry modern man has been well-documented in recent times and for those who have finally decided to take a stand against popular age related imperfections, this quite simply wonder stick, quickly gives you back some grip.


With its expert and natural coverage properties, simply swipe over fine lines, wrinkles and all those other nasties, to provide your skin with complete camouflage all day long. Coming in a great selection of natural colours, MMUK MAN's stick has shot up the popularity charts over the past twelve months in particular, as more and more men realize how far just a little touch up can take them.
