In this post i will be reviewing a shaving kit by the company Dermalogica. I have terrible trouble with shaving and i have gone days/weeks without shaving just to avoid the pain of it, but after using Dermalogica i am now not afraid to shave anymore! I got this kit as a Christmas present off a close family friend, so i don't know exactly where it was bought and for how much, but i do know it is available from certain Irish websites such as http://www.kudosbeauty.ie/ . Some salons might stock Dermalogica too, so it would be worth while checking it out. Dermalogica is all about, you getting to know your skin and how to treat it properly. With shaving it aims to reduce ingrown hairs, redness after shaving, and cuts/nicks.
With this shaving kit you get 4 products. A daily cleansing scrub, a pre-shave guard, a soothing shaving cream and a post-shave balm. These 4 products are all you need because they cover all things you need to have a comfortable shave.
First off you get the Daily cleansing scrub in a 44 ml/FL OZ tube. I wouldn't recommend using it daily because you will run out of it fast, so i use my normal cleanser everyday i'm not shaving. Even though its only a small little tube it works amazingly! The cream has a slightly course texture from the silica beads in it to give exfoliation, and a good exfoliation at that too! It gets rid of excess oils and dead cells. The cleansing scrub also help lift the hairs so they are raised the make for a closer, easier shave which reduces ingrown hairs. You simply use like another other facial cleanser by rinsing it off with warm water before you move onto the next step. I found this to be one of the best cleanser i have ever used as you get such a good deep clean from it.
After the cleanser you then use the pre-shave guard. Its 28.3g/1 Oz. It comes in a hard plastic cylinder tube with a twistable end to retract the product when done. Even though this is a small sized product, i can see it lasting me a long while as the product easily glides onto the skin. It has a nice menthol scent to it and leaves the skin nice and soothed before you start shaving. I can definitely see myself using this even with a normal quick shave.
Next in the shaving kit is the soothing shaving cream. It comes in a easy to use squeezable tube 74ml/2.5 FL OZ. Unlike most shaving creams this does not foam up. It lathers up with water. I find this to be better because it gives you a closer shave. It has aloe vera and panthenol which are soothing and help to aid the skins post-shave recovery process. As well as giving you a close shave it moisturises your skin leaving no dry patches.
Lastly you in the pack you get a post-shave balm 10ml/0.33 FL OZ. Like all other post-shaving balms it reduces any irritation and redness. Since the three products before it did such a great job i didn't have any redness or irritation. It has a nice citrus scent to it which will give you that zing that will awaken your skin.
I think Dermalogica is a godsend for men with sensitive skin. I would recommend it a million times over. In this kit you get all you need to have a nice close, comfortable shave. I definitely give this product 10/10.
