Beauty Question: Can women use men’s products?
S. writes,
Hi Jolie,What do you think of girls using men’s skincare line, such as Zirh? I have tried samples of the Clean cleanser and Scrub, which are fantastic. Many thanks!
Hi S., Use away! I used to work at a men’s magazine and was a total product whore in the grooming closet. My bathroom was stocked with Zihr, Nickel, Robert Kree, Anthony Logistics, and unisex stuff like Peter Thomas Roth and DDF, and I looked and smelled great! (If I do say so myself.) Men’s skin is biologically different than women’s (they wrinkle differently and in different places, and their skin is thicker and oilier—not to mention hairier), so some of the products are heavier or lighter on certain ingredients than women’s products. But just as guys can steal your Olay Regenerist or Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin shower wash and won’t automatically sprout breasts, you can steal their Zirh Clear or Nickel Lendemain de Fete (one of my favorites!) and I promise that it won’t make you grow a beard or alter your estrogen levels. Enjoy!
