Clinique Guy Guide Regular
This is the famous Clinique Basic Skin Care System for men, which features products to help him cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise in three easy steps. The pack includes Liquid Face Wash Regular Strength, 40ml, to remove dirt and grime without stripping natural oils; Scruffing Lotion 2.5, 75ml, to polish and remove dead skin cells; and M Lotion, 30ml, to soothe and moisturise the skin. The Daily Eye Hydrator, 15ml, is an added bonus to the routine, and he’ll love it once he tries it. Silky and cooling to the touch, it’s an oil-free gel that nourishes the delicate eye area and combats fine lines. He can pack all his tricks into the sporty-looking travel essentials bag, and be on his way to beautiful, well-balanced skin.

Natio Soap on a Rope
This is a well rounded, but fuss-free skin and body pack. This affordable collection contains Daily Face Wash, 150g; Smooth Shave Gel, 150g; Purifying Face Scrub, 100g; Calming Aftershave Balm, 200ml; and my favourite – good ol’ Soap on a Rope. It’s great to hang on the shower tap when there’s limited shelf space. Just be sure he knows it’s for his body, not his face (as tempting and as easy it can be for some)!

Molton Brown Discover
Men who exercise and take pride in their bodies will love this pack from Molton Brown. Warming Eucalyptus Bath & Shower Therapy, 300ml, contains pure eucalyptus oil, which is great for clearing blocked sinuses and is a fabulous rejuvenator if all he needs is a lift. When mixed into bath water, it makes a therapeutic soak to ease muscle tension. Cassia Energy Sport Hair & Body Wash, 200ml, removes chlorine residue from hair and skin – and that’s no easy feat for most cleansers. No longer will he have to smell like the swimming pool all day at the office! This two-in-one product lightens the load of his gym bag and will look really stylish when he takes it out. Spritzing Cassia Energy Sport Body Spray, 125ml, all over is a great way to finish a workout: the cassia ingredient has a cinnamon-like smell and refreshes and purifies the skin. Now all he as to do is dress and get on with his day feeling fabulous.
