Some time around the start of 2014, scientists began warning hipsters (and other facially furnished men) that the world had reached ‘peak beard’. Fast forward two years and our rundown of the top beard and facial hair trends for 2016 shows that hirsute faces are here to stay. So Bulldog Skincare for Men, the British brand best known for its high-quality, ethical moisturisers and scrubs, has struck the balance perfectly with the launch of two new ranges for both sides of the camp. Purpose built for men (obviously) the Beard line-up is Bulldog’s first step into facial hair care and includes a beard balm, beard oil and shampoo & conditioner. Meanwhile the six-piece Shave range features four entirely new products, including barbershop-style metal tubes for its shave creams and unique air-powered canisters for its foaming gels. Each product is packed with skin-nourishing natural ingredients such as shea butter, borage oil and green tea, while being free from nasties like parabens, synthetic fragrances and artificial colours. So whether helping to style, cleanse or shave, they’re also looking after the skin underneath. The Bulldog Beard and Shave ranges are available to buy now in Boots stores and online at boots.com and bulldogskincare.com. Prices start from £3.50.
