Dr Jacksons 07 face wash: This is a face wash for all skin types. It is formulated for daily use and gets deep down into the pores to give a good cleanse. Thanks to its pomegranate extract, it also gently exfoliates to help fix sun damage and at the same time, leaves the skin feeling fresh and hydrated.
Medik8 Super C30+ Intense: Vitamin C is a game changer when it comes to skincare. It is an antioxidant that protects your skin from inflammation and aids the regeneration process of the skin cells. This product by medik8 evens out the skin tone, and reduces blemishes, as well as dark and age spots. It is an intense serum, which is both potent and affordable, so be sure to add a few drops of this to your daily skincare regime.
Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Intense: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the new wonder ingredient in most skincare products nowadays, but what is it? It is a water-retaining molecule that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water and reduces the likelihood of dehydrated skin when combined with a good moisturiser. However, around the age of 27, our bodies tend to reduce the amount of HA produced; therefore, these serums are essential. This wonder serum from Medik8 is infused with vitamin B5 making it a great all rounder.
ADC 01 high-performance moisturiser: Exclusive to Harvey Nichols and voted the number one men’s moisturiser by GQ, it’s a high-performance multifunctional moisturiser that is
formulated to hydrate, tighten and even out the skin tone. It is also anti-inflammatory, vegan-friendly and fragrance free, and so, it will not clash with your colognes.
(Stage 2 - Corrective makeup)
Tom Ford For Men concealer: This product dispenses an even amount of perfectly matched colour that can be applied under the eyes to reduce the appearance of dark circles, as well as on any acne scars or blemishes to hide them. Simply apply a small amount after moisturising and pat down to blend into your skin, leaving a natural matte finish.
Boy de Chanel: It is a lightweight, almost similar to a tinted moisturiser, easy-to-use formula. Simply apply a small layer on your skin to minimise imperfections and redness. Due to its lightweight formula, if applied correctly, it is almost invisible as it blends into the skin so well.
Tom Ford for Men bronzing gel: So it’s winter and your skin is looking dry and dull, and in need of a holiday or just a few minutes under a sunbed? Look no further than this bronzing gel, which will give you a subtle glow and is the new go-to product for highlighting your bone structure, jaw lines and cheekbones.
Warpaint for Men tinted moisturiser: It is a new player in the scene and a brand made exclusively for men, by men. If you are looking for a no-fuss, vegan-friendly tinted moisturiser, then this is the go-to product. This product hydrates the skin while soothing it, and even better, gives you a flawless complexion.
(Stage 3 - Beard care)
Pasha de Cartier Edition Noire beard oil: A product on the higher end of the market, but if you are a fan of Cartier’s Pasha scent, it is a must have. Its beard oil is formulated to soften beards and condition them, while its other ingredients soothe the skin. It is ideal for short to medium-length beards.
Acqua di parma beard oil: This product again is aimed more at the luxury end of beard oils with its signature Acqua Di Parma scent. However, it works wonders with long beards, and it helps to soften and detangle them leaving them in a better condition and improving the overall appearance of the beard.

Romesh admits he’s aware of possible overexposure but says he chooses work based on gut feeling and quality.
He makes his West End debut opposite Sheridan Smith in Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind.
The play runs at the Duke of York’s Theatre from 9 December to 28 February, then in Sunderland and Glasgow in March.
Romesh will play Bill, the doctor who links Susan’s real and imagined worlds.
He balances television, radio, and stage work by turning down offers he doesn’t think he can do well.
Romesh Ranganathan says he knows the word “overexposure” follows him around and he’s decided it’s a risk worth taking. The comedian, who is making his West End debut, told the BBC he deliberately turns down roles at times but will say yes when a job feels right, putting “overexposure” and the play’s pull, plus the chance to work with Sheridan Smith, at the centre of his decision. This new stage turn comes as Romesh juggles television presenting, radio, and touring stand-up, and it is also his first proper stage role since primary school.

What does Romesh mean by overexposure?
He’s not talking theory. He’s talking experience. Romesh openly acknowledges people tell him “you’re on everything,” a phrase he quotes, not hides from. His defence, though, is practical. He asks whether the project is something he’d watch, whether he can do it justice, and yes, whether there’s a fee. That’s his filter. Plain as that.

Why take the West End risk with Sheridan Smith?
Because the role felt right. Romesh will play Bill, the doctor connecting Susan’s two worlds, in Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind. Sheridan Smith leads as Susan, and Romesh says working opposite her is “exciting and intimidating.” He’s honest about nerves; that’s part of the point. He wants the challenge, even if it raises his profile further.
The production runs at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London from 9 December until 28 February, followed by dates at Sunderland Empire and a run at Theatre Royal, Glasgow, in March 2026 (Glasgow 10–14 March; Sunderland 4–7 March). The revival is directed by Michael Longhurst and keeps close to Ayckbourn’s original while offering a fresh staging.
How Romesh is balancing television, radio, and theatre
Romesh fronts shows including Parents Evening and hosts a BBC Radio 2 slot, plus podcasts and tours. He’s selective, he says. He’ll keep doing varied work, including television, radio, and stage, but only when he feels it’s the right fit. If the public tires of him? He joked he might go and work in a café. For now, he’s stepping on stage.
