The House Of Man: The Body Shop ~ Modern Gent’s Post Party Rescue Kit

The Modern Gents Rescue Kit is a kit that includes an eye cream to aid those puffy eyes when you've hit the snooze button on your iPhone one to many times, And a really good moisturiser for everyday; either morning or night, this moisturiser is really good, you don't need a lot to cover your entire face neck and leaves your face feeling cool and fresh.

Firstly I have to describe this kit without mentioning the packaging, it’s definitely one of the coolest and best presented I’ve ever received. Long after these products are finished I’m certain that I’ll still hold onto this box, to store various nick nacks - iPhones cases and what not!

Now moving onto the important stuff; the CONTENTS! In the Modern Gent’s Post Party Rescue Kit* you will receive:

For Men Maca Root Eye Serum
For Men Maca Root Balancing Face Protector

Being of an inquisitive disposition, I had to find out more about what the Maca Root was. Lepidium meyenii (maca) is an herbaceous biennial plant of the crucifer family native to the Peruvian Andes.

For Men Maca Root Eye Serum

I have been using eye serums for a bit, checkout my review of the Clarins one. I was looking forward to giving this one a shot. Eye serums can be seen as superfluous product in a skincare regime as you generally don’t notice immediate results. This is a fast, soothing and noticeable tightening around the eye area after application. Dark circles are definitely improved.

Only one small pump is all that you need and gently dab this light white serum around the eye with the fingertip of your ring finger. The serum is absorbed quickly and doesn’t leave any scent or an oily residue after use.

For Men Maca Root Balancing Face Protector

The second product in the kit is the Balancing Face Protector is enriched with Peruvian Maca root. It hydrates the skin while oil control technology helps reduce shine in the T-Zone.

I have to admit I wasn’t a fan of the feel of the lotion the first few times, personally I found it to be a tad too runny in consistency. But saying that it did an excellent job in hydrating and balancing my skin. It has a very light texture and consistency. After a few days, I was much happier with the feel and my skin felt moisturised as you’d expect but so soft too. After continued use I was really impressed it’s a powerful cream and has a nice aroma, the best way I can describe it is that it smells clean. Again it absorbs immediately and leaves no shine.

Overall the Modern Gent’s Post Party Rescue Kit is an excellent kit as a gift; it has the foundation of a solid skincare routine that any man can build on.
