Nivea Men Product Review: Sensitive Facewash

We men really don’t take enough care of our face, and seeing as we only get one, we should pay more attention to it

The lads at Nivea certainly think so anyway, and they spend a lot of their time finding out ways that we can give it a bit more of a

Their Nivea for Men sensitive face wash is not a rough exfoliating scrub like we first thought when we saw it, it’s actually a good bit softer and lathers up pretty easily, meaning you don’t have to use loads of it.

If you’ve been out exercising in this warm weather, or if you’ve nipped to the gym on your lunch break, you’ll feel much fresher and a whole lot better if you can get that sweaty feeling off your face, and considering a lot of us will mop our foreheads when we start feeling the burn, it’s one of the places we should be making sure is definitely clean.

It’s also not scented, which means that you don’t get that sting if you’re using it after exercise or if you’ve just shaved, which is a nice change from a lot of the other face scrubs around. It also doesn’t leave you feeling greasy or leave any sheen afterwards either.

Again, as with a lot of the Nivea products, it’s a small enough size and has a sturdy lid, so you can throw it in your gym bag on your way out the door without too much hassle.

If you’re not convinced to start taking more care of your skin on your face (apart from the fact that we all obviously want to stay as young looking as possible for as long as possible, and keeping an eye on your skin is a good way to start) then just consider the amount of punishment your face takes in a day.

You run a razor up and down it if you’re shaving, you splash a bit of cologne on it, expose it to the sun, rain, and wind, and it gets covered in sweat when you’re training or exercising. We think it deserves around a minute of your time to keep it clean, don’t you? That’s how JOE stays looking so handsome anyway…
