It’s a Guy Thing (fm200118)
Lets not forget about the man in your life (as if you would!) Mary Kay has
just introduced Skin Management for Men, a skincare line to make face cleansing, shaving and moisturising a doddle.
There are products for dry and oily skins, all priced around the £10 mark, so there's no excuse not to turn him into a real smoothy. Call: 0800 318288 for your nearest stockist.

Purple Haze
Another designer turning his attentions to your complexion is Calvin Klein. His latest make-up offering is Violet Eye Colour Wash (£11.50), a radiant sexy shimmer of lilac and silver inspired by his Spring 2001 catwalk collection. Call: 020 7361 4400 for stockist details.

Received Wisdom
Holistic beauty practitioner and Black Beauty & Hair contributor Bharti Vyas has teamed up with Tesco to produce Skin Wisdom, a range of skincare products using natural ingredients. They include cleansers, toners and moisturisers at £2.49; Cleansing Wipes for £2.99 and face masks that start from 99p. There is also a free booklet on how to apply the products, which believe me really does make all the difference.

A to Zed
Is this the last word in make-up? Zed - founded by make-up artist Judith Wertz - is a little word behind a big product range. There are 300 products to choose from and are not all make-up related, as there's a good skincare line a too. Worth trying are its range of eyeshadows (£12) and lipsticks (£11) in some very fashion-on colours. Call: 020 8201 9982.

Skin Revival
American Dream has introduced a remarkable new product called Intensive Rejuvenating Serum. It contains soy extract to help transform sun damaged, ageing skin and promises to tone and tighten skin, in just a few weeks. Priced at £25, it is available by calling: 020 8740 1383.

My oh My!
If you’re looking for a fun range of good hair and body products that won't break the bank, MyMy from Japan is a good bet. The haircare, skincare and bath ranges are packed full of scrummy ingredients and prices to match, with shampoos weighing in at around £2.99. We particularly liked the green tea and ginseng Body Soufflé (£4.99), which is nice and creamy. Available from Boots, Superdrug and Tesco.
