Let’s face it- looking sharp isn’t just a luxury, it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re suiting up for a boardroom showdown or simply trying to survive Monday with your dignity intact, your grooming game needs to be on point. From beard oils that tame the unruly to moisturisers that banish the dreaded 3 p.m. shine, the right products don’t just make you look good – they make you feel unstoppable.
This week, our editors are spilling the tea (and maybe a splash of aftershave) on the grooming essentials they swear by. Think of it as your backstage pass to looking like you’ve got it all together – even if you’ve hit snooze five times.
Kiehl’s Ultra-Pure High-Potency Serum 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, and thanks to its superpower of retaining moisture – up to 1,000 times its weight in water – it’s a skincare hero. Acting as a humectant, it draws moisture into the skin, leaving you looking plump, dewy, and ready to take on the world. Kiehl’s Ultra-Pure High-Potency Serum delivers a concentrated 1.5% dose, boosting your skin’s hydration by up to 89%. If your skin needs anything this summer, it’s this high-potency hydration hit.
Horace Purifying Face Cleanser
Horace is the budget-friendly French skincare brand we’re absolutely loving. Their no-fuss, no-frills approach to skincare has earned them a cult following. This cleanser is crafted with 99% natural ingredients that not only purify your skin but also help regulate oil production. With activated charcoal from Japan, yuka, aloe vera, and zinc in the mix, it’s no wonder this product works wonders.
Sachajuan Hair After the Sun Conditioning Treatment
Hair care is key to keeping your mane looking glossy and healthy – especially for the lucky lads with a full head of hair. Sun exposure can leave your locks dry and damaged, so hydration is essential to maintain that shine and softness.
