without worshipping the sun
once the domain of gameshow hosts,
boy bands and George hamilton,
‘self-tan’ is the next taboo to be
smashed in men’s grooming. there’s
now a host of products – in an array of
different incarnations – specially
formulated for the male market.
From those that build up semipermanently,
easy-to-apply bronzing
gels and tinted moisturisers that wash
away to very natural-looking ultra-

The Find
ShortList’s style director’s
product of the week
HEAL by THE Firm
Very rarely will we advise any
man that the purchase of a
single grooming product will
change their lives forever.
however, we’re going to go out
on that limb for hEAL – a new
multi-tasking, advanced
formula cream, developed by
five leading cosmetic surgeons.
calling themselves the
Firm, the surgeons created a
post-surgery cream that would
speed up the recovery process
– being anti-inflammatory,
bruise-solving and aiding scar
maturation. in the process,
they also managed to develop
a product that proved to be the
ultimate weapon in fighting
everyday problems such as
razor nicks, sprains, sunburn,
bruises and sports injuries.
You’re probably not
that interested in all of the
ingredients, but, suffice to say,
it really works. in tests over
a year, 97 per cent of patients
said they would continue to use
hEAL outside of the context
of post-surgery recovery and
would also recommend the
product to others. And it
goes without saying that we
also love its ironic medicinecabinet-meets-traditionalbarbershop
packaging.
