For a winter Ready Brek glow:
Biotherm High Recharge Natural Bronze 50ml £26.00
 
Mankind Exclusive, this is a daily moisturiser that gives a gradual, healthy looking tan - Ideal for tired or dull looking skin wanting a quick pep-me-up, and keep those winter blues at bay.
 
Fact: Self-tanning started to become popular in the fifties after the invention of the bikini. More and more people wanted all-over “tan, resulting in brown creams and dyes becoming available to” patch up white patches.
 
For the perfect “do”:
American Crew Fiber 85gm £10.70
 
With cult following from professional hair stylists, Fiber gives a fabulous matt texture without shine or greasiness, and is a styling must-have essential for pre-interview grooming!
 
Fact: Hair is as strong as wire iron, and only rips after applying a force to the equivalent of 60kg – and that’s only after it’s stretched itself to 70% of its normal length.
 
Smell great with:
Canali Men EDT 100ml £44.00
 
Famed for its classic and timeless scent, Canali Men is both suave and sophisticated, and will leave a soft, lingering scent for your potential employer to remember you by.
 
Fact: According to research, humans can recall smells with 65% accuracy even after a year or more, but visual recall drops to 50% after just 3 months - Which is something to consider before you slap on your PM pulling juice to impress your new boss.
 
The finishing touch:
Tateossian Rectangular Cufflinks – Dark Purple £45.00
 
Every detail counts, and cufflinks are an elegant, masculine and great finishing touch to any shirt – especially a work one.
 
Fact: These miniature works of art actually predate the shirt. According to the National Cufflink Society, evidence of their use can be found in ancient hieroglyphics in King Tut's tomb. But cufflinks as we know them were first used during the 1700s.
