“Male grooming’s like a dirty word to a lot of men,” says Berenice Hall, a trainee nail therapist from Yeovil. “But my boyfriend Stan really does have a sensitive face, which makes him well qualified to buy sensitive face products. Specially round the eye area, specially his eyelids which are like, special, and also his nose is, like poetic, I reckon. That was the first thing I noticed about him when we started going out ten days ago.”
Ms Hall continued: “ I mean, I’d draw the line at make up and that, but no reason why men who really look sensitive like Johnny Depp and that shouldn’t have a range of products to suit their every need. I mean, I’ve been in Boots and seen men with faces like old meat buy sensitive face products, and let’s face it, they’re kidding themselves. Of course, the counter staff can’t turn round to them and say, “Excuse me, but I’m not sure that product is appropriate to your every need.” I’ve been in retail and I know the dial Emma in which they find themselves in. Like you can’t say "don’t buy that exfoliator for deep cleanliness for special skin, I’d try Swarfega” Mind you my last boyfriend or the one before him always smelled a bit of Swarfega and I didn’t mind that. He worked in a garage. It might have been coal tar soap, actually.”
