Beauty treats for both sexes

MANILA, Philippines?There is one subject where men openly admit they know nothing about: beauty products. Remarkably, men don?t consider toiletries as beauty products, and yet every chance they get, they?ll rummage through your pouch and grab a dab of moisturizer and hair gel.

Men will not openly admit it,but vanity gets the best of them, too. And if you say your man isn?t into beauty products, that?s only because he hasn?t been introduced to it.

Before the his and hers argument ensues, know that there are a lot of unisex products out there made for such situations. To see just how effective these dual-purpose products are at resolving bathroom brawls, I sat down model couple Borgy Manotoc and Ornusa Cadness to take a peek at their kikay pouch.

Acca Kappa?s White Moss fragrance. ?Because it?s very unisex, smells of lavender and juniper. Nice and mild, not too strong.?

Lush?s Charity Pot. ?We both got one at the recent PETA [People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals] event. We both use it and both love it.?

Bed Head?s Ego Boost. ?We both take good care of our hair, especially Borgy, whose hair is even longer than mine now. This leaves hair shiny and serves as a leave-on conditioner.?

Nivea Lip Care Repair. ?We always borrow lip balm from each other so we make sure to carry something that we both can use to repair chapped and dry lips.?

Isabel Roces debuts in Inquirer Beauty this week to give us an exclusive glimpse of the regimen of our favorite models, celebrities, makeup artists and other creative types. Each week, she?ll take us deep into the dressers, makeup boxes and kits of the fashion crowd. Having been in the fashion industry for 8 years now means that Isabel enjoys an all-access pass to the latest trends, happenings and tricks of the beauty trade.
