High-End Skincare for the
Discerning Man
When it comes to a morning regimen, skincare rarely tops most men’s priority lists. However, with UV exposure rising and an ever greater emphasis on a youthful-looking face, now is the time for gentlemen to add a couple of extra steps to their daily routine. Trust us, it’ll pay off in dividends later.
(Skincare) To be fair, no one can really blame men for their skincare habits. Take a look at a local pharmacy and see how many products are geared towards men in the beauty aisle. Without proper education, men are left to their 3-in-1 shower gels and perhaps a spritz of cologne to fall back on. But gentlemen, your skin isn’t the better for it.
With summer fast approaching and perhaps a vacation (or two) planned, it’s essential to pack a few of the following products in your carry-on.
The Grey is a Netherlands-based skincare brand specifically tailored to the unique needs of men. With a complete regimen that includes everything from shaving creams to herbal teas, every product is formulated for maximum results and minimal overthinking.
Caldera + Lab is a similar brand, designed specifically for men and with a focus on using natural ingredients through every stage of a man’s skincare routine. Perfect for summer, The Face SPF is fortified with a plant-based retinol alternative and hydrating red algae, and is infused with botanicals for a light feeling without the chalkiness of other sunscreen brands.
Just a few high-quality products can make a noticeable difference and offer long-term benefits, without overcomplicating the morning routine.
Dry, cracked hands may find Flamingo Estate’s Manuka Rich Cream to be the proverbial water in the desert. Manuka honey is prized for its anti-inflammatory and skin-restoring properties (so much so, that it’s often used to treat minor burns). Taking this a step further, Flamingo Estate incorporates lanolin, calendula, and shea butter, describing its hand lotion as “light as air, powerful as thunder.”
During summer, we are exposed to more UV rays which can dehydrate the skin. Over time, this will cause premature wrinkles to form. Prevention matters and a hydrating face serum—along with a good sunscreen—is key. We recommend pairing Wonder Valley’s Face Oil and Le Prunier’s Plumscreen together for all-day moisturizing with a lovely fragrance.
Skincare doesn’t need to be laborious, just a few high-quality products can make a noticeable difference and offer long-term benefits, without overcomplicating the morning routine.
