When it comes to your face, it doesn’t hurt to spend a few extra dollars to make sure you’re equipped with the right products. No, just because you buy a brand that doesn’t come from Wal-Mart doesn’t mean you’re a metrosexual, but there are things you can learn from highly preened men.
For the past few weeks I’ve taken the Lab Series Facial care products out for a test drive face. My face. Here’s my report:
Lab Series Invigorating Face Scrub ($18
)
The Lab Series Face Scrub is designed to give you smoother, clearer skin and closer shaves. I only shave every third day, but using this product on a schedule of twice a week has proven to be quite beneficial. Some dermatologists will tell you that using an exfoliating scrub isn’t necessarily the best thing to do, but my real-world application proved otherwise. It helped unclog pores (some of which I had really never seen before), and prepared my skin for a fantastic shave. Men with chronic dry skin should avoid exfoliating scrubs though.
Lab Series Multi-Action Face Wash ($16)
The Multi-Action Face Wash proved to be my favorite product in the Lab Series cleaning line-up. In my opinion, it’s also one of the best priced. The foaming cream cleanser did a great job of washing away grime from my face (which is dirtier than it sounds) and left my skin with a distinctively healthier hue. There are small exfoliating beads within the cream which help control ashy skin by smoothing out dry or patchy skin – something I fight during the dry winter months. I’ve purchased two of these bottles since testing the Multi-Action Face Wash out. One I keep at work and one is for my bathroom at home. I plan to purchase a third for the gym bag, too.
