Fragrant delights for daddy!

Forget the gift vouchers, boxes of sweets and bits for the motor this Father’s Day– fellas love their beauty buys too, and we’ve got some cracking choices for June 20 in this month’s Pulse picks…

Men’s skin is thicker and renews faster, so skin needs more energy to function optimally, and the skin cell’s ‘energy-producing factories’ (known as the mitochondria) can be damaged by the impact of a busy life.

What to do about it? Trust in ClarinsMen which has just issued a plant-powered duo for him. 

The Energising Gel promises to hydrate and strengthen the skin, while leaving an invisible non-oily and non-sticky finish. And those who need a little support around the more delicate eye area need to try the Energising Eye Gel, which will help to reduce dark circles and puffiness, and massage and refresh. Price: £35 (Energising Gel) £31 (Energising Eye Gel)
