THE OTHER SAINT | MEN'S VEGAN SKINCARE

If you’re after men’s vegan skincare then check out The Other Saint. The brand was created by Sean and Zoe who recently swapped the skyscrapers of London for a different lifestyle on the south coast of England. The brand was born to combat everyday men’s skincare needs which Sean experienced for himself. Us skincare writers and experts already know the importance of SPF in skincare because it is arguably the main cause of ageing. This is exactly what The Other Saint owners used in their product research and design of their products. It’s obvious to see how the SPF 30 Protective Moisturiser is the outstanding pick of all the products in my opinion, closely followed by the High Exfoliator.

Not convinced to try this new men’s skincare brand? What if I said, they are cruelty free, they use compostable packaging and are UK made. Still not convinced? They’re so confident your skin will look healthier and feel smoother in 30 days of using their products that they offer a 100% money back guarantee.

The products I’ve tried are:

The Other Saint: High Exfoliator

When I first opened this tub, the fragrant smell was something that I would like to use on my skin. Then I noticed the high amount of grain/exfoliation parts in the cream - it makes it a very high exfoliator. The grain is course and includes at least two different sizes of grain (from what I can see) for maximum exfoliation. You shouldn’t really use an exfoliating product on your face daily anyway, so this works well when used 2 times weekly. I especially found this worked well after shaving my beard to help with ingrown hairs. The product also includes antioxidants that work hard to eradicate the damage caused by daily pollutants. £19 for 50ml.

The Other Saint: SPF 30 Protective Moisturiser

For me their hero product is this SPF moisturiser mainly because using this daily will improve the ageing of your skin beyond your expectation. Of course it can not reverse damage but will slow the process of ageing skin. The product itself applies evenly and smoothly. I would say that it applies on the smooth greasy side (which isn’t a bad thing because it ensures and even coating) then mattefies, leaving a smooth, non-greasy, matte finish to your skin. £22.50 for 50ml.
