Simple for Men Active Essentials Washbag Review

Simply put, this is a waste of money. The set I got contained face wash, moisturiser, and shave gel. The face wash felt gunky, and although its fragrance free, it does smell somewhat clinical. It lathers up ok, but left my skin feeling dry, and taut, even after a fairly vigourous rinse off session. It didn’t really so a whole lot for me, skin wise, either. The moisturiser felt greasy, runny, and didn’t absorb well. The shave gel was functional, sort of, but did leave me with more uncomfortable red patches than I would expect.

Still, this stuff is pretty cheap, and the bag that it came in is alright. It looks ok, but the packaging lacks the subtlety of something like the Liz Earle range. The whole set cost me £8.19 from Boots, who also sell each item individually. The set saves you a couple of pounds, but all in all, it’s probably worth shelling out a bit more for something a bit higher quality.

    Taut. The word you are looking for is taut. Not tot. Not taught.
