Tom Ford Launches Men's Skincare

FORD'S FOCUS

Report by Thea Lewis-Yates

Tom Ford’s superlative good taste and meticulous attention to detail have defined his talents: be that fashion design, filmmaking or beauty. The undercurrent of sexuality in Ford's work is undeniable and seemingly boundary-less. As a man, and as a brand, Ford appeals to gay men, women and straight men alike. Who doesn’t want a piece of his intoxicatingly glamorous world?

Ford’s foray into men’s skincare is as precise, luxurious and stylishly masculine as one would expect. The Oil-Free Daily Moisturiser gives its creator a run for his money in the multitasking stakes: reducing redness, hydrating skin, mattifying texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and pores. Skin appears toned, supple and bright with vibrant energy. Partner with industry-insiders' favourite, theAnti-Fatigue Eye Treatment, to keep dark circles and puffiness at bay. The sexy black and chrome packaging is of course indicative of Ford’s ultra-luxe aesthetic: but this is hard working skincare, with carefully designed formulas to deliver promises. Two products that are crying out to be borrowed from the boys this Christmas.
