What do boys wash their face with?

DS is 13. He needs to take more care of himself and I know he'll get spots if he's not careful. At the most he uses water on his face whilst in the shower. I need to find something he will use that doesn't smell girly but is not too harsh for his skin as hormones have yet to kick in and it's not yet greasy.

I wouldn’t go for clearasil type products unless he has very greasy skin it will dry him out

I think the pic disappeared Confused garnier aloe refreshing gel wash for normal combination skin

DS started getting the odd couple of spots on his forehead. He uses No7 Men Exfoliating Face Wash every evening and water and a face cloth in the morning. If he's using it the spots stay away.

Ours use a scrub a couple of times a week-the St, Ives apricot one and then just use a face wash or Dove soap.

I'll def get the body shop tea tree one once his skin gets greasy.

My son and daughter use the Sam Farmer facial wash which is brilliant.

Clinique soap for fellas

Ds uses face wash. He's not very fussy so uses anything made for oily skin as that's his skin type. At the moment he's got Simple face wash and Superdrug Tea Tree face wash in the bathroom.

@Corncobb I love my lads but they can sod off if they think I'm funding their Clinique 😂

NCTDN · 22/09/2019 17:01

@thebakerwithboobs I agree!
