For too long, men have told themselves that it’s okay—and somehow a sign of masculinity—to expose their skin to the elements like how Leonardo DiCaprio does in The Revenant.
A healthy skincare routine promises good health. It lessens the signs of aging, it reduces the itching burn of dry skin and the pain of oily blemishes. A good skincare routine even limits more serious conditions that could arise later in life—like the “C” word.
Whether you’re looking for an all-in-one set or for single solutions, you’re bound to find a treasure trove of products below that will get your skin feeling clean, refreshed, and looking great.
We love Cardon because of their commitment to using Cactus Extract in all their products. The ingredient is known for soothing and hydrating the skin, which is especially vital for us guys who are constantly shaving. This set will help you establish an easy three-step routine. Use the clay cleanser for washing your face, apply the SPF + Moisturizer after, and then before bed wash your face again and apply the hydro gel so your skin can gently repair itself while you sleep.
Scotch Porter Daily Face Care Bundle
Scotch Porter uses gentle scenting in this two-pack daily face care set. Our favorite ingredient they use is Tumeric Root, a known anti-inflammatory that reduces redness and blemishes. Use the face wash daily and apply the face lotion right after before leaving the house.
