If your main man has given up shaving in favour of the latest follicular fashion, he'll need some new lotions and potions to maintain his beardy beauty.

If you'd rather curate your own beard-taming treats, the Brisk range from Boots is great value and the packaging, featuring a very dapper grizzly bear, is pretty cool too.

TRIED AND TESTED

:: Laura Wurzel tries a new device that promises younger-looking skin in just five minutes a day...

"My face felt saggy and loose after the long winter, so I was keen to give this hand-held facial-firming device a go. After cleansing as instructed, I liberally apply the primer which comes with the set - it's specifically designed to conduct microcurrents (which help stimulate and tone the face), and enables the two little metal spheres on the device to glide easily across skin.

"Next, following the instructions, I hold the NuFace against my cheek and let it get to work. After five seconds, it beeps to let me know it's time to move it to another area. I do my neck, jaw, cheeks and forehead then repeat this process three times, which takes just five minutes a day, as promised. Despite the slightly daunting-sounding microcurrents, it doesn't hurt; in fact there's no tingling or vibrating at all. I don't notice any immediate results, but after a fortnight, my face looks and feels firmer. It's a pleasing reward for relatively little effort - I'll definitely be keeping up the routine!"

BEAUTY BULLETIN

:: THE RETURN OF THE PERM?

Following the return to screens of curly-haired babe Kit Harington, aka Game of Thrones' Jon Snow, could we be about to witness the resurgence of perms for men? Johanne Herald, volume expert at Charles Worthington Salons, thinks so. "I have definitely been getting more enquiries recently for male perming," she reveals. "It only takes an hour, and will be done so that all the curls fall in the same direction - NOT like the crazy perms of the Eighties!" So that's a relief.

:: BROWS CONTINUE TO RISE

Sales of brow products, already at an all-time high, are showing no sign of slowing down, as NPD Group reveals that 1.1 million items were sold in 2015, an increase of 210% since 2011. That's a value of £20 million, meaning more women every year are discovering the power of a perfectly-groomed brow.

STEAL OF THE WEEK

The Fragrance Shop has got masses of men's scents on offer ahead of Father's Day, with more than £10 off top brands like Givenchy, Ralph Lauren and Diesel. Hugo Boss Bottled Sport is now £40 for 100ml, reduced from £58, and comes with a free sports bag too (www.thefragranceshop.co.uk).
