Win a $50 VISA Gift Card

On a regular basis, I spend my lunch hour over at the gym. It’s right down the road (a 3 minute drive) at a place called Retro Fitness. Pretty cheap gym, tons of great machines, and some of the best power shakes you’ll ever drink. I can’t get enough of their Pomtini shakes (pomegranate and cherry)!

Nivea for Men Platinum Protect

Anyways, since I’m heading back to the office, I always hit the showers first. Don’t want to offend any co-workers, right? The gym showers aren’t the nicest ones around. They’re pretty much bare bones in that they provide a door, a shower head, water, and if you’re lucky, some foamy soap. That’s it. So I bring my own hair & body wash with me. 

Normally, I just use some type of Axe body wash/shampoo that my wife picks up for me. It works fine. But when the fine folks over at Nivea for Men asked if I’d like to sample their new Platinum Protect Citrus Explosion Body Wash, I was definitely up for the challenge. Bring on the sweat and the stink!

NIVEA FOR MEN Platinum Protect Deodorizing Body Wash – This deodorizing hair, face and body wash with Smart Deo Technology removes dirt and odor causing substances while the intense foaming formula provides a Platinum-level clean without drying out your skin leaving a refreshing scent.

Now, I’m a guy. I have one bottle of shampoo and one bottle of body wash in the shower at home. I use it until it’s empty. And then I replace it. My wife, on the other hand, must have 19 bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and I have no idea what else. It’s like she’s mixing up some witches brew or something in the shower.

So when I review a body wash, as long as it doesn’t stink, cause my body to break out, or just not work, I’m going to mostly think they’re all the same. And with Nivea’s body wash, that’s mainly how I felt. Despite having Citrus Explosion in the name, I didn’t find the smell overpowering in the least bit. It was actually a nice “clean” type of smell. It worked great and it actually did do one thing that my regular Axe one doesn’t: it made my hair incredibly soft. My wife even commented on that one.

Nivea for men also has a new Replenishing Lip Balm that I was lucky enough to try out. I hate wearing creams on my body (especially my hands) and I really am not a fan of chapstick or even Vaseline on my lips. I don’t like the taste, the feel, or the shiny effect it has.

Nivea for Men Lip Balm Replenishing

NIVEA FOR MEN Replenishing Lip Balm SPF 4 – This lip balm provides long lasting moisturization and hydration without leaving a greasy residue. It absorbs quickly, is free of color and fragrance and won’t leave a shine. But it will seal in moisturize with special moisturizers Vitamin E, Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil.

Nivea’s lip balm no only has an SPF4 built in, but it supposedly leaves no shine. So, I gave it a shot and I have to say, I still don’t love lip balm, but if I have to wear it, this is actually quite smooth. There’s no nasty taste or even shine. It’s definitely a lot less “gunky” then Vasoline or Chapstick too and it certainly did the job it was supposed to. If I was a regular user of lip balm, I’d definitely reach for this one first.

Besides letting me test out some of Nivea for Men’s newest products, they’re also sponsoring a giveaway right here on Mommy’s Busy… Go Ask Daddy!

  30. I wanted to give this to the man in my life, but he’s 11 and not old enough to date yet. I plan on keeping him faaaaaaaaaaaaar away from Nivea if it makes him irresistable.

    wolverina401 at gmail dot com

  116. My hubby hasn’t tried it but I would love it if he did! It would make him smell sooooo good!

  119. i use the eye roller gel every night and morning keeps my eyes looking good and me looking younger so I don’t look dead tired when I go out

  122. My hubby is worse than me when it comes to a shower, he’s in there forever. haven’t tried this yet, but I will be buying it for him, maybe if he doesn’t have to use 100 different products and can use one for everything I can get him moving quicker for our next date night

  123. Date? Whats that!? LOL. I’m married now….and three children. I haven’t seen a “date” since I was in high school haha!

    Seriously though, My husband uses the Nivea for Men body wash and it smells delicious on him! I Love it when he uses it, and it fills the entire house when he showers. I like it because its not “overpowering” in the sense that it stinks or is overwhelming. It has just the right amount of “scent” that I love!

  124. My husband uses the body wash, after I bought it for him of course. It smells great..not too strong.

  125. My husband recently tried the Nivea product that has cooling gel in it, he said it was like a massage. That put him in a great mood so we had a good night.

  126. My man hasn’t used it yet, but he would love to get nice and clean before a date in the shower with the platinum protect bodywash.

  133. I have other Nivea products, but haven’t tried this bodywash yet. I would love to give my man a bottle and see how good he smells for our next date night. Thanks!

  136. Nivea for Men helped me prepare for my last date with my wife by making me smell better than usual!

  138. growing up in Germany NIVEA was a hosehold item. Everybody knew it everybody had it (at least their famous blue tins)
    Now I am really excited that NIVEA made the jump over the pond to the US and equally excited, that they come out with a line of men’s products. Time for my husband to switch up his routine. (He uses Axe, whatever it’s called, the black and orange bottle and for my nose it’s a bit too strong of a scent)

    Thank you for hosting this giveaway

  139. we’ve never used nivea, but if my husband used it for shaving i’m sure it would make his face kissable.

  140. My husband has never used this but it would be nice to have him smelling really good for our next date =)

  144. I’d like my hubby to use it before our next date because i like him all good smelling!

  145. My husband hasn’t used Nivea before but I bet he would feel great having his own “man” products.

  149. My husband has never used NIvea for Men, but it sounds like it would be great to use in the shower before a date night. I can’t stand it when scents are overwhelming so it sounds like Nivea’s body wash would be great for him to try.

  151. My hubby has never used Nivea but he goes through more soap than anyone I’ve ever met. So, maybe this would get him out of the shower faster and help us get out the door for our date. 🙂

  155. It’s made him smell really nice and made it to were I don’t mind getting close to him. Thank you!

  158. Tell me how NIVEA FOR MEN helped you (or the man in your life) prepare for your last date! If you haven’t used NIVEA FOR MEN yet, tell me how you would prepare for your next date!

    never used it..i prepare for dates by first crossing my finger

  159. It gave my husband a great smell and made me want to be closer 🙂
    family74014 at gmail dot com

  165. I have never used Nivea for Men before — but, the body wash would help me for my next date because it would make me smell and be clean!

  166. I have not tried it. I would prepare for my next date by getting dressed in my best clothes and wearing a nice cologne.

  172. Haven’t tried it yet. …shower, shave, deodorant, brush teeth and wear nice, clean clothes with nice shoes.

  174. The Nivea for Men body wash really smells great which is certainly a bonus for going out together!

  175. we haven’t used it yet but i’m sure we could prepare for our date by using the products to make our skin feel great

  177. The body wash gave my husband a nice clean smell. He liked
    it and it made him feel better. He has not used the lip balm yet.

  179. Nivea has helped him a lot! He wasn’t that type of man that will take care of his appearance and all that but after convincing him of getting the lotion, I’ve seen him more enthusiastic

  181. My boyfriend hasn’t tried it, but he really needs to use lip balm…he refuses to use mine since its too girly for him.

  184. I haven’t used it yet, but I would have a checklist to help me make sure that I had accomplished all of my to-do tasks perfectly!

  187. I laughed when I read this blog- MY husband bought some Nivea all in one wash for himself, on one of his business trips! I LOVE the way it makes him smell. Because I loved it, he now uses it all the time and I like it.

  200. My husband and teen son love Nivea for me. We keep the body wash stocked up in our shower. They love it and it really has a great scent.

  202. hubby used nivea for men body wash in the shower before we went out to the movies-so fresh and so clean! 🙂

  208. My lips get chapped even in the summer..so even though I never used the product before i imagine they lip balm would work out great before a date!

    rypm25@aol.com

  210. haven’t tried their products before, but my dh is big on chapstick and keep his lips moisturized so I think the lip balm would be beneficial to him and using the body wash to smell fresh during our night out

  212. My hubby would use this chapstick. Would love that he would have kissably soft lips for our next date!

  213. My wife loves the way the Nivea For Men Energy lotion feels on my face. I use it every time we go out on the town.

    • Nice! I’ll have to give that one a try then! Not that my wife and I go out on the town too often…

  216. Honestly? Hubs has been contemplating trying this out but veers around to his old faves each time we go to the store. I have to show him this post loL!

    • Yeah? Go for it. I really liked the body wash and if it’s the same price or cheaper as the AXE one I’ve been using, I’ll definitely switch.

  217. LOL about your wives 19 bottles. That is because after a while it seems like your hair needs a change….yeah don’t ask. I currently have about 8-10 bottles myself.

    Honestly my husband is not much of a body wash person but shampoo he will use whatever I purchase.

    • Heh. Yeah, most woman seem to love having dozens of shampoos and conditioners and change things up every week or so…

  218. Haven’t used Nivea for Men yet but it would be great for smelling great before a night out for my man.

  219. We haven’t tried Nivea for Men but I know my husband isn’t a fan of my girly soaps. I think he’d like to try the Citrus Explosion Body Wash before our next date night out and actually smell like a man…I love it when he smells good, like a man.

  221. My husband has not used it yet, but would love for him to try it! Love it when he smells great!!!

  222. My husband hasn’t used it yet. To prepare for a date, he should shower and gargle with mouthwash.

  223. I haven’t used NIVEA FOR MEN, but maybe I should. Before my next date night, a nice shower and some Nivea might help.

  226. He hasn’t tried Nivea yet but I would hope hed shower and put on clean, ironed and nice clothing for our dates 😀 I love a yummy smelling, clean man 😉

  228. Have never used it but I would take a nice long shower with the body wash before I took the wife out!
