Skincare for Him
Text by Dennis Latif
Your big day is just around the corner, and if your morning bathroom routine has not evolved beyond shaving with a disposable razor and washing your face with a grimy bar of soap, then it is time to step up the game.
Every groom wants to look best on his wedding day, but we know from years of experience fighting acne decades past puberty to scoffing at the first signs of wrinkles, it’s hard to win the good-skin game. But before blaming these on your genes, ask yourself whether your skin care routine and lifestyle habits are up to par.
According to the skin experts, there is actually no need for super-expensive serums or skin peels to reach healthy and radiant skin. In fact, layering on too many products can actually irritate your skin. The key is washing and moisturizing every day and following a few other maintenance basics. Check out some of these trusted skin care products for a fresher looking face.
Kiehl’s Facial Fuel
One of the originals and the best in men’s face products, Kiehl’s Facial Fuel is a bestseller for a reason. The line ranges from facial moisturizer, lip balm to energizing scrub. The Eye Alert is particularly addictive: this eye treatment combats puffiness and dark circles after a long and arduous work day.

Quick, easy, and fuss-free are what ClarinsMen is all about, just like this 2-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser that deeply cleans and exfoliates for clean, soft, smooth skin. The deep-cleansing microbeads water-activate into a silky mousse that gently remove embedded sweat, oil and spent surface cells. Pores open. Ingrown hairs rise up. This is the ultimate pre-shave prep.
