This is Chris, he’s Meagan’s non skin care using husband.
We asked him (nicely) to trial our Osmosis MD Mens Skin Care Kit for 4 weeks and he agreed!
We wanted to understand further how a blokey, Aussie male in his early 30’s who has NEVER used a product except occasional sunscreen as a child (when his mother made him) would react when given the opportunity to initiate the creation of a healthier skin.
You don’t know Meagan? She is one of our Skin Advisors and has over 10 years experience with skin and makeup. How she married a man with so little skin knowledge beats me!!
However, the results were so interesting and amusing (hysterically funny) that Meagan (and Chris) have decided to share with you the story in 4 weekly instalments.
Would he actually use the products, and, as we discovered – how he would use them?
Would he notice a difference in his skin – in look and feel?
It was interesting how basically ignorant Chris was about everything! And really very funny…….
*Meagan’s words – picture the scenarios with your bloke…………..
Firstly, he couldn’t believe there were THREE products. Secondly, he couldn’t believe he had to use them EVERY day. “Excuse me, I’ve been doing this twice a day for over 15 years, I think you can handle four weeks”.
When I explained how to use the products and left him alone to do so, I returned to him with head under the shower washing his face very vigorously (clothing drenched) “I meant, when you’re IN the shower, you just wash your face with this” “OH” he stared at me covered in way too much cleanser. “I said one pump”.
Putting the serum on he was almost slapping himself in the face, it looked painful the way he punched that serum into each cheek and couldn’t for the life of him work out how to run it over his nose. The serum he’s using is called Replenish, a serum jammed packed full of antioxidants, vitamin B and C and tolerated by all skin types- except Chris. He said it felt ‘weird’.
Next step was the moisturiser with added sunblock called Protect, “NO, NOT THAT CLOSE TO YOUR EYES” he rubbed it all over his face, again as if I was timing him. So fast and very rough. He then complained that his hands felt too soft from all the products and walked out of the bathroom.
Hmmmm successful. I’m hoping this goes very differently tomorrow-
He did play a successful game of Rugby the following day so, no his hands hadn’t suddenly become too soft and he also didn’t come home with that “raw – ravaged” look of too much manly exercise out in the winter wind and sun all afternoon. And his mates didn’t pick that he was “using skin care!” -well not that they said anyway!
Follow Meagan’s story as she continues with Chris’ and his products; she’ll be posting on Facebook as well as a weekly news updates.
And, if Meagan changes Chris’ thinking and behaviour towards skin care – maybe you can, for your man too!
Chris is using the 3 products from our Osmosis MD Mens Skin Care Kit.
Give your man a chance to gain more healthy skin… then again – why not enjoy for yourself? I’m sure he’s given you a chainsaw before now!!
