Shakeup Perfecting Skin In Seconds
Shakeup Cosmetics found out that one of the biggest priorities for men when choosing skincare and cosmetic products is the ease of use, followed by efficacy. This is why the brand is bringing to market two revolutionary twist-up sticks, supporting both men’s skincare routines and their lifestyle needs.
Introducing Shakeup Cosmetics with their latest innovative men’s skincare products: two brand new twist-up skin saviours for men.
Shakeup Cosmetics understands male skin necessities and has become the fastest-growing beauty brand in the UK. It should be definitely included in every man’s grooming and skincare routine, helping them look and feel their 100% every day!
Stick One
Hydrate In A Hurry Moisturiser - Stick With Cucumber Extract And Hyaluronic Acid (RRP £15)
Designed to offer men a way to cool, soothe and hydrate hardworking skins in a hurry. This power-packed twist-up stick is full of skin-nourishing ingredients, designed to work with male skin needs, AND fit into busy lives.
Ingredients: with Hyaluronic Acid to plump and help hydrate, Witch Hazel to soothe and ease redness, Cucumber Extract to cool in a hurry and Vitamin E to fight free radicals and environmental damage, it is an essential addition to busy men’s skincare.
Benefits: perfect for post-workout skin recovery, hydrating-on-the-go and morning-in-minutes routines. Hydrate in a Hurry has a fresh, light fragrance and invisible on the skin.
Stick Two
You Do The Mask – Purifying Clay Draw-on Mask With Activated Coconut Charcoal And Kaolin Clay (RRP £15)
Men’s skin needs the same care and attention that a women’s, but rarely (if ever) gets it. With that in mind, ‘You do the Mask’ is a twist-up no-fuss, no-mess masking stick that works with the skincare needs of men to provide a regular treatment option.
Ingredients: Activated Charcoal, to clarify and improve the look of men’s slightly wider pores and oilier skins. Coconut Extract to nourish deeply and provide a protective barrier for moisture, Glycerine for a smooth, frictionless application and Kaolin Clay for the deepest cleansing experience possible.
Benefits: deeply cleansing, skin refining and nurturing, without being messy or tricky to use. The fragrance is indulgent without being too sweet or cloying and the mask is easy to apply and use. Skin refining results speak for themselves, You Do the Mask is perfect for men with sensitive, blemish-prone skins. Ideal for fitness fans, as it draws the sweat and impurities of your workout routine out before it can clog pores and dull skin.
What the founding brothers Shane and Jake say…
'We know that men don’t want skincare and make up that takes forever to use or has a huge learning curve. We’ve developed these to make having well cared-for skin easy, without compromising efficacy'.
