Men, more than ever before, are taking an interest in personal care, spending more time catering to their looks. To celebrate National Men's Grooming Day, on August 19, we've rounded up the hottest new products made just for him:
Save time in the shower
We're all for 2-in-1 products. Anthony Exfoliating & Cleansing Bar, $17, Anthony.com, is a multi-tasking bar soap for face and body. Jojoba spheres exfoliate while Shea butter, squalene and coconut oil moisturize. Use for pre-shave exfoliation, or even as shave cream. Meant to moisturize, sooth and refresh the skin.
Personalize your scent
PHLUR fragrances is a new line of six unisex fragrances. The sampling process lets you audition the scents before picking a full size bottle. $10 for sample set of 2 trial vials, $85 for each full size scent, PHLUR.com.
Get rid of dry skin
Hydrate your skin with Dollar Shave Club's Wanderer Shower Line, $4.50-$9.50, DollarShaveClub.com. These sulfate-free products for body, scalp and face are formulated with extracts like ginseng and black walnut to help protect skin against dryness.
Wipe away dirt and grime
Clean your skin with Anthony Glycolic Exfoliating & Resurfacing Wipes, $18, Anthony.com. These alcohol-free wipes get rid of dirt while gently exfoliating to remove dead skin cells and minimize pores - also great for travel.
Power cleanse your skin
One of my favorite devices for women is now available for men too. The Clarisonic Alpha Fit, $219, Clarisonic.com, is a facial cleanser that helps get rid of oil, sweat and grime. Use daily for clean-shaven faces, and to deep clean for a more comfortable beard. It's waterproof, so you can use it in the shower.
Get thicker, fuller hair
Splurge on Kérastase Densifique Bain Densité Homme's shampoo, $40, birchbox.com. It's made just for men - helping maximize density from roots to tips. It also smells great, leaving your hair feeling clean and fresh.
