Only it it contains HAUGROL (whatever that may be).

It is also important to rub it evenly across the entire face or you might look like a certain politician with uneven facial tan.

You know, fake tans can do only so much…



Besides, rather than Riviera, I was always more the Adriatic type…

According to several websites, including the Amazon UK website, the current Floid product Citrus Spectre shave gel contains 'haugrol'.

Here is the text from the Amazon UK site:

"This high-performance shaving gel features an innovative plant-rich formula - Haugrol, which acts to rebalance, regenerate, and moisturise the skin whilst counteracting daily stressors".

I see no mention of haugrol in any other current Floid product, nor on the official Floid website, and haugrol, whatever it actually is, is not listed in the ingredient list.

Here is another vintage mention of haugrol:

Now we all know what that mystery component is, even though it does not seem connected to anything “tanning” related.
So, if you want to look like you have spent a week or two at the Riviera, keep rubbing Floïd all over your face - evenly.
