The Mens Beauty Products Women Can Use

While we’re not overly keen on the idea of him raiding our beauty arsenal (he does anyway), there’s nothing wrong with going through his. After all, sharing is caring, right? From deodorant to cologne and even moustache wax, prepare to rifle through your boyfriend/husband/ BFF/ brother’s bathroom cabinet - you’re going to want to try some of these goodies.

His razor

Men’s razors are designed to deal with thick, coarse hairs, so they’ll work wonders on your finer ones. Cue super-smooth pins. Trust me, he’ll thank you for using this one.
bh recommends: Schick Hydro 5

His moustache wax

Okay, first of all, if you think I’m suggesting you use this for your own moustache - I’m very worried. No, moustache wax is actually a great alternative for eyebrow gel. If your guy’s got some in the bathroom cupboard, use it to groom your brows into place for serious definition. Plus, bold brows are so hot right now.
bh recommends: Lush Veerapan Moustache Wax

His face wash

It may be a little too hardcore to use daily, but the occasional scrub with his face wash is just what the derma ordered.
bh recommends: Clinique For Men Face Wash

His shaving brush

Yes, really. If you want to amp up the pamper factor of your next shaving sesh, use a shaving brush to lather up, exfoliate and prep your legs. Plus, how cool would a shaving brush look next to your vanity?
bh recommends: The Body Shop For Men Shaving Brush

His after-shave

Formulated to deliver a super-close shave, his after-shave is thicker and more luxurious, and will fix any shaving rash in no time. It’ll also smells more neutral, which may be a nice change from all those sweet-smelling moisturisers.
bh recommends: L’OCCITANE La Collection De Grasse CÈDRE & ORANGER After Shave Balm

His deodorant

If you’re still getting sweaty after using deodorant, you might want to think about changing teams. Men’s deodorants tend to contain a higher percentage of active ingredients compared to those marketed to women.
bh recommends: NIVEA Invisible Black & White Clear Roll-On for men

What other products do you “borrow” from your boyfriend?

I've used mens razors before and I love it

good to know might try that one

If I was to do this I would go for the deodorant I've always liked the smell of it coming from a guy who is wearing it at the time it's just like wearing a guy's shirt only you look more sexy in it then a bloke actually does.

Deodorant, cologne and moisturiser haha

I use to 'borrow' a shaver, then discovered and awesome oil he used, and I popped it sneakily on my hair...lol

Rpear 26 Aug 2016 5:37 AM

Haha so true !! Just now we get 2 men's razors .. I agree that they are much better than women's !

Yohanna 5 Sep 2016 12:17 PM

Yes! Men razors are heaps better and longer lasting than women's ones...I get always men's ones now (after first time pinching from my male friend lol)

The clinique charcoal face wash for men (not the one here, the charcoal version) is seriously good, for me. He is indifferent.

I can't remember the last time i actually bought a razor ! Honestly i use my hubby's razor, his shaving gel and his shaving brush. They are brilliant products, better then the female ones in my opinion.

If my skin is oily a mens cleanser is good

I often use his deodarent!!

I have no boyfriend to steal off but I do use some male products. I love using mens razors since they seem to last so much longer. My skin is sensitive and using aftershave balm on the underarms after shaving reduces redness. Also I love the scent of some mens body washes...

There's a moustache wax? This is my first time hearing about it.

Nas007 16 Nov 2015 2:37 PM

I always use Hubbys deodorant.

lynx 6 Nov 2015 1:25 PM

I have been guilty of using the shaver, seems to work better than womens ones.

Petal 13 Jun 2015 9:43 AM

I have bought a razor designed for men; it worked better than most razors for women.

Nicole408 27 May 2015 9:08 PM

I love to use his deo! when i miss him i do spray some on my body :)

Lawliet 20 May 2015 1:56 AM

Love that shaving brush...looks a little like a kabuki bursh!

Unidentified 17 May 2015 4:29 AM

I have no man to steal from. I did purchased a Schick Quattro for women (on sale) which is identical to the men's but it's pink. The normal price is 50c more (for no reason).

reni267 17 May 2015 3:13 AM

Great tips. Mens razors are the best.

Sydneyswans910 12 May 2015 2:42 AM

I definitely agree with razor, they seem to give a better shave (on the legs!)

Handy to know

Yohanna 30 Apr 2015 6:19 AM

Boxers and t shirts and singlets :P, oh, and definitely stealing socks
