Gessato: Italian for your face

Filed under: Accessories, Men, Skin Care


To refer to Gessato's shaving treatment as shaving cream would be like calling gelato an ice cream. It ain't right.

Sure, gelato and ice cream are both made with milk and sugar, but... oh, sorry.

Gessato, as a company, is "Italian artisanship with modern formulations." This means that they make and market their products "in the United States with an Italian sensibility for time-hewn craftsmanship, quality and attention to detail."

Using only the finest and most exclusive of natural ingredients in formulations that have been highly researched Gessato utilizes a truth that women have understood for some time: that taking care of your skin in small ways will reap great benefits in years to come.

Gessato makes luxury skin care products for men that go "beyond just a surface appeal," but in fact remedy the issues unique to men's skin. Their shaving treatment, which is a lightly foaming cream, is a perfect example of their passion to the craft.

The treatment is based on Usnea barbata. It is created with "pure essential oils and vitamins" including vitamins C and E, respectively, and glycerin, to provide a restoring effect. The cream goes on thick, but it spreads easily and the feel is such that there is never a moment of insecurity towards the promises of the product. The shave is clean and close, leaving the skin cool and tingling rather than burning and irrated as many lesser products are prone to do.

There is a reason for that feeling, "Gessato shaving treatment acts as a completely natural daily facial mask for men's skin." It works and it feels good, and best of all, you don't have to look like this.
