My top 10 - Ikon J Barber

(Stage 1 - Skincare)

Dr Jacksons 07 face wash: This is a face wash for all skin types. It is formulated for daily use and gets deep down into the pores to give a good cleanse. Thanks to its pomegranate extract, it also gently exfoliates to help fix sun damage and at the same time, leaves the skin feeling fresh and hydrated.

Medik8 Super C30+ Intense: Vitamin C is a game changer when it comes to skincare. It is an antioxidant that protects your skin from inflammation and aids the regeneration process of the skin cells. This product by medik8 evens out the skin tone, and reduces blemishes, as well as dark and age spots. It is an intense serum, which is both potent and affordable, so be sure to add a few drops of this to your daily skincare regime.

Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Intense: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the new wonder ingredient in most skincare products nowadays, but what is it? It is a water-retaining molecule that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water and reduces the likelihood of dehydrated skin when combined with a good moisturiser. However, around the age of 27, our bodies tend to reduce the amount of HA produced; therefore, these serums are essential. This wonder serum from Medik8 is infused with vitamin B5 making it a great all rounder.

ADC 01 high-performance moisturiser: Exclusive to Harvey Nichols and voted the number one men’s moisturiser by GQ, it’s a high-performance multifunctional moisturiser that is

formulated to hydrate, tighten and even out the skin tone. It is also anti-inflammatory, vegan-friendly and fragrance free, and so, it will not clash with your colognes.

(Stage 2 - Corrective makeup)

Tom Ford For Men concealer: This product dispenses an even amount of perfectly matched colour that can be applied under the eyes to reduce the appearance of dark circles, as well as on any acne scars or blemishes to hide them. Simply apply a small amount after moisturising and pat down to blend into your skin, leaving a natural matte finish.

Boy de Chanel: It is a lightweight, almost similar to a tinted moisturiser, easy-to-use formula. Simply apply a small layer on your skin to minimise imperfections and redness. Due to its lightweight formula, if applied correctly, it is almost invisible as it blends into the skin so well.

Tom Ford for Men bronzing gel: So it’s winter and your skin is looking dry and dull, and in need of a holiday or just a few minutes under a sunbed? Look no further than this bronzing gel, which will give you a subtle glow and is the new go-to product for highlighting your bone structure, jaw lines and cheekbones.

Warpaint for Men tinted moisturiser: It is a new player in the scene and a brand made exclusively for men, by men. If you are looking for a no-fuss, vegan-friendly tinted moisturiser, then this is the go-to product. This product hydrates the skin while soothing it, and even better, gives you a flawless complexion.

(Stage 3 - Beard care)

Pasha de Cartier Edition Noire beard oil: A product on the higher end of the market, but if you are a fan of Cartier’s Pasha scent, it is a must have. Its beard oil is formulated to soften beards and condition them, while its other ingredients soothe the skin. It is ideal for short to medium-length beards.

Acqua di parma beard oil: This product again is aimed more at the luxury end of beard oils with its signature Acqua Di Parma scent. However, it works wonders with long beards, and it helps to soften and detangle them leaving them in a better condition and improving the overall appearance of the beard.
