Cold Weather Skincare

It's time to start thinking about (manly) cold weather skin protection. This week’s newsletter features the best products for keeping appearances up as temperatures drop.


Lip Balm

This topsy turvy autumnal weather is a nightmare for lips. Sunny one minute, wind and rain the next, a sure-fire formula for chapping, cracking and general discomfort. Conventionally lip balms and salves are the domain of women-folk; what with their similarities with lip sticks and lip glosses it was best for blokes to steer clear or settle for a lump of good old Vaseline. 

But not anymore; at Murdock we’ve got a burgeoning collection of resolutely masculine and effective lip balms. There’s the DR Harris Lip Balm with cocoa butter and a luxurious texture for the traditionalists, Brave Soldier Lip Defender for the more action-orientated gentleman, or Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 for anyone who likes to mix all-natural ingredients with top-quality protection. 

Jack Black Hand Healer
Hand Cream                   


Okay, so maybe, as a modern man, lip balms have been part of your armoury for years, but what about hand cream? Ladies have had dedicated hand creams for decades, but only recently have us fellas come round to the idea of keeping our fingers, knuckles and palms in good shape.

The Jack Black Hand Healer is another cracking product from across the pond; using all natural ingredients and an appreciation for simple and effective skincare this unfussy product does a great job at soothing dry or damaged hands. Particular good for anyone who works or plays outdoors or goes to the gym frequently and suffers from callused hands.

 

The Arlington Collection

 

Popular as ever, DR Harris’ Arlington range has been flying off the shelves this summer. In fact, these traditionally great products have been so in-demand that we were more or less sold out for a few weeks. But don’t worry, our stock levels have been fully renewed so we can once again offer classic skincare and shaving must-haves like the DR Harris Crystal Eye Gel, Almond Oil, Arlington Pre-Shave and Arlington Shaving Cream.
