synopsis

  • Even if they aren't sold for both sexes, some grooming products can be shared by men and women.
  • For instance, a lip balm can be used by both as its use is dependant on the weather more than anything else.
  • Women can opt for men's grooming products if they like strongly scented stuff.

 

Gone are the days when personal grooming was different for each sex. Men use a razor to shave? Well, so do women. In fact, this part of the beauty industry has become so diverse that companies are now selling products that are unisex.

Next time you see a range of grooming products on display at a bathroom shelf, don’t be too quick to judge which ones belong to the man and which products the woman uses. Here’s a bunch of products that both can use without thinking twice about their sex.

Lip balm

It’s a shame that advertisements for lip balms target women. This product applies to lips of all sexes as its use is dependant more on the weather than anything else.

Shaving cream

Most women lather themselves with a shower gel before using the razor. However, using the shaving cream could yield better results. Women can also use an after shave cream if it doesn't smell too strong. 

Hair gel

You can use a hair gel designed for men if you want to do away with volume. Usually women’s hair gel provides more volume and shine while a man’s hair gel holds hair in place for a long time. If that’s the look you want, then consider picking it up.

Concealer spray

L’oreal’s hair concealer spray takes care of all the greys on your mane. Whether you’re a man or a woman, spray it on your roots and hide those greys.

Moisturiser for all skin types

If men are inclined to use a moisturiser that belongs to the female sex, then don’t think twice about it. Just make sure the scent is neutral or light and doesn’t have overtones of a flowery fragrance. This makes all the difference.
