I know we haven’t even gotten through Mother’s day but because MUF (Mr. Unfun) is so hard to shop for, I have to start thinking about Father’s Day well in advance.
Because many of you have shared this same dilemma in years past, I was thankful when I was approached about reviewing for Game Day Products for men.
Game Day is a recently launch brand of skincare items specifically formulated to meet the unique needs of men. With a plethora of products for women, men sorta get forgotten in the ocean of bottles and tubes, so finding a good line of men targeted products is a rarity.
Game Day goes beyond just the basic shaving and skincare needs, they use ingredients like Alpine Willow herb and Pear Cactus Extract that promote skin healing and strengthening. Now I’m not a man and will never claim to know what their specific needs are
but I do know the difference between quality ingredients verses just throwing your average run of the mill goo into a tube, slapping on a label and calling it good enough.
When my package arrived, I of course had to touch and smell everything. I love the sleek packaging and the rich creamy feel of each product but the smell? Oh, it was certainly worthy of the female palate.
Though the true test would be in the performance; I couldn’t just hand them over to MUF and say hey Happy Father’s day…it is after all still a few months away. I instead gave the generous samples that were included in my package to my merging man son…yes, the thought of him smelling so amazing did kinda gross me out a bit but it is an inevitable event that he too will have to experience. The idea of him being clean and having to actually use something that was good for his skin was enough for me to get over his emerging man.
He started with the
shower gel – He said that he especially liked how it completely rinsed away and how clean he felt….I for one was pleased that he was actually clean (
and had used the word in regard to himself).
He then tried the
pre-shave scrub and Game Day
aftershave (
another one of those things that mommies have to get used to.). He said that his face was so clean that he could feel it and that he didn’t know that a product could make a shave so close. A feel of his face verified that it was indeed smooth, just as smooth as before all this man-stuff had ever started taking place….
sigh.
He completed his regimen with the Game Day
Moisturizer: Hydrator + SPF 30. He doesn’t typically slather with a moisturizer or a sunscreen without a lot of
nagging reminding from mom so I was pleased that he said that this particular moisturizer was something that he wouldn’t mind using every day. At his age it really is hard to understand the significance of moisturizing and using sunscreen so finding something that we both agree on was an added plus. He has since used every drop of it without any prompting from me….I will absolutely be buying him more.
The bottom line in my opinion (as female as it may be) is that I do think it’s a good line and does make for a great Father’s Day (or any other occasion) gift. As a female I make an effort to search out products that help me look and feel my best. We are more and more conscious about are how we care for our bodies. We eat better, and exercise, our skin should not be left out of the equation. If I am apt to seek out quality skincare products why shouldn’t the men in my life be afforded the same?
Game Day certainly foots the bill, besides it’s a fraction of the cost of anything I have ever gotten for myself but doesn’t sacrifice the quality. Kinda makes me wish there was a Game Day for women line :0)
