Skincare was never my thing—nor my husband’s. But we developed it together through E45’s new range, turning our bathroom into a sanctuary of self-care, love, and bonding.

It all started with his sensitive skin. Shaving had always been a nightmare for him—redness, irritation, and dryness that made every morning feel like a battle. He’d complain, I’d suggest products, and he’d ignore me. Classic. But after some convincing (and a little strategic placement of E45 products on his side of the sink), he finally gave it a try. And that was the beginning of our skincare journey together.

E45’s simple yet effective formulas became his game-changer. The E45 day and night lotion soothed his post-shave irritation, and kept his skin hydrated without that greasy feeling he despised. Suddenly, he wasn’t just tolerating skincare—he was enjoying it! We found ourselves setting aside time each morning and evening to go through our routine together, turning it into an unexpected yet beautiful way to connect.

While it was amazing to see his skin transform, the real surprise was how this journey deepened my own sense of self-love. Watching him take care of himself reminded me to be more intentional with my own routine—not just as a necessity, but as an act of self-care. Skincare became more than just a routine; it became a shared ritual, a moment of pause in our busy lives, a way to unwind and reset together.

Now, we hype each other up when our skin is glowing, remind each other to moisturise, and have turned what used to be a mundane task into a daily bonding session. Who knew that a new range from E45 could turn my husband from a reluctant skincare rookie into my self-care partner-in-crime?

Here’s to healthy skin and even healthier relationships!
