Grooming Awards
What our judges looked for:
SHAVE CREAM/GEL: Cannot clog up in shaver, able to provide enough slip so you do not nick yourself and does not leave a residue on the skin.
AFTER SHAVE: Must not sting or dry the skin out, should hydrate without feeling greasy.
SHAMPOO: Gently washy hair leaving a clean aroma without making the scalp itch
CONDITIONER: lightly hydrating but does not leave a film on the hair
BODY WASH: removes all body odor without leaving a perfume, gently enough your private parts but strong enough to remove deodorant, grease and soil
FACIAL CLEANSER: It must remove all of the oil in the beard area, be safe to use around your eyes, not leave a residue or have the need for a toner.
EXFOLIATOR: Must thoroughly exfoliate the skin without irritation, dislodge blackheads, and leave the skin feeling renewed.
EYE CREAM: moisturizing, not drying but also not greasy. Upon application we wanted to see fine lines disappear and dark circles diminish.
HAND/BODY LOTION: must be able to take to the gym, must not cause any itching, smell good and make your body feel good. Able to put cloths on directly after application without leaving any stains on the clothing.
FACIAL MOISTURIZER: Must be able to be used all over the face, chest and neck. Cannot irritate the skin, feel greasy or leave your face feeling heavy. Again a product that is applied that gives you a compliment.
QUICK FIX: Must deliver and live up to what claims it makes on the bottle. Such as immediate hydration, exfoliation or zip zapping within 24 hours.
