Treat your fathers with these incredible products that will leave you feeling like you spent a week at the SPA. LQD, an advanced men’s skin care brand, with a range of products developed in Australia has a devotion to creating products that are honest, and built through innovation and science. Empowering men through their skin care range is their main priority and motive behind the brand. The award winning products range from facial washes, to face scrubs, which are catered to all skin types and will really give your skin the TLC that it needs.

Their newest collection looks at the process you go through when looking after your skin, which includes a shaving cream, a facial wash, a calming cream and a facial scrub. Each product attempts to tackle a problem you may have, whether it is hydrating your skin, or simply needed to scrub away dead skin cells in order to have healthier skin. The products are created in order to keep your skin healthy, hydrated and can even slow down the aging process. Anthony McDonough, founder of LQD, studied chemistry at Melbourne University which meant that his knowledge in the field of chemistry aided his decision making process when it came to choosing safe, irritant free ingredients. In order to cater to those with sensitive skin, and even skin conditions, LQD removed the ingredients that are commonly used in other products, and are known to cause skin irritation; by doing this they were able to create a collection that can even be used by people who suffer from skin conditions like Rosacea, Dermatitis, Eczema and Keratosis.

LQD Face ‘Shave’

This shaving cream is suitable for all skin types, and as all known skin irritants have been removed from these products, it can be used by those with really, really sensitive skin. Shaving gels tend to foam and dry out your skin, which is why the cream formula is thick but does not cause foam, which makes it easy to rinse and creates a simple, stress free shaving process. The formula of the cream creates a soothing sensation, whilst moisturising your skin and protecting it from the harsh process of shaving, it softens the hairs in order to create a comfortable, close shave. This shaving cream is packed with ingredients that will hydrate, rejuvenate and moisturise freshly shaved skin.
