What kind of skincare products should men use?
The American of Academy of Dermatology Association recommends the following when it comes to choosing skincare products for men:
- Look at the ingredients. Not all skin is created equal. Those with sensitive skin will want skincare products that are “fragrance free” or marketed as gentle. Those with skin that’s prone to breakouts will want products that are “oil free” or “non-comedogenic” because they won’t leave the pores clogged. Really, it’s about paying attention to the needs of the skin and finding products that will cater to them.
- Be mindful shaving. Men who shave their faces and experience razor bumps, burns, or ingrown hairs should opt for single or double-blade razors. This helps prevent these problems. Additionally, men should avoid pulling their skin taught when shaving, use a moisturizing cream to lubricate the surface, and shave in the direction of the hair growth for the best, closest shave. Changing out blades every five to seven shaves can also help limit irritation and provide a better shave.
- Wear SPF daily. For many, applying sunscreen is only something they do when they’re planning to spend a prolonged amount of time outdoors. But the AAD recommends wearing an SPF or skincare products containing sunscreen daily to prevent wrinkles, age spots, and of course, skin cancer. An SPF of 30 or higher will help keep the skin safe!
Amazing Face Cleanser
- Description
- Pros
Men and women alike should wash their faces daily, especially after exercise. Traditionally, men have been known to keep things simple and use whatever body wash or bar soap they’re using for their bodies on their face. But those ingredients can be harsh on the skin. Instead, the American of Academy of Dermatology Association recommends using a mild facial cleanser like this one with lukewarm water.
- Good for oily, combination, or open-pored skin
- Provides a refreshed, balanced, and scrupulously clean feel
- Key ingredients: Mandarin Rind, Ylang Ylang, Lavender Oil
Moroccan Neroli Shaving Duet
- Description
- Pros
Help him amplify his shave routine with this shaving set. It comes complete with everything he’ll need for a smooth shave and a moisturizing lotion to keep his skin calm and hydrated after the fact. It’s not a necessity for shaving, but definitely a luxury he’ll love to have on hand.
- The Moroccan Neroli Shaving Serum makes shaving easy while the Moroccan Neroli Post-Shave Lotion keeps skin soft and moisturized for the perfect shave
- This routine will allow him to maintain smooth, calm, hydrated, and remarkably soft skin
Double-Edge Razor
- Description
- Pros
No shave is complete without the perfect razor. The AAD recommends single- or double-blade razors like this one for those men who often experience razor burn, bumps, or ingrown hairs!
- Hand-polished and triple-plated collar
- High density handle
- Shrome-plated blade head
- Stainless steel Merkur Solingen razor blades
Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Intense Serum
- Description
- Pros
Some men are already moisturizing after they wash their face, but they can level up their skincare by adding a serum like this one in before moisturizer. “I use and recommend serums that have a combination of vitamin C, vitamin E, and ferulic acid,” says Dr. Abigail Waldman, instructor of dermatology at Harvard Medical School. “There is good literature that shows that vitamin C in particular can prevent brown spots, reverse damage from ultraviolet rays, and stimulate the growth of new collagen.”
- Fortifies, hydrates and imparts a breathable film to guard against airborne pollutants
- Leaves the skin feeling hydrated and smooth with a matte finish
- Key ingredients: Parsley Seed, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Red Algae
Seeking Silence Facial Hydrator
- Description
- Pros
The AAD recommends moisturizing daily to trap water in your skin. In turn, this helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and helps skin look brighter and younger — yes, even for men! Add a daily moisturizer to your Father’s Day skincare routine gift so he doesn’t forget this crucial step.
- Soothes irritation and reduces the appearance of redness
- Mild, woody, herbaceous aroma
- Key ingredients: Squalane, Ginger Root, Bisabolol

- Boosted with Vitamin E to soften and hydrate
- Key ingredients: Spearmint Leaf, Panthenol (Provitamin B₅), Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
Shine Hair & Beard Oil
- Description
- Pros
If the man in your life has a beard, gifting him a beard oil can help improve the skin underneath the beard and help his facial hair appear fuller. Beard oil can also make facial hair smell good, so adding this to your skincare routine gift is a win-win!
- Nourishes and softens hair
- Delivers essential fatty acids and imparts smoothness and luster without build-up or oily residue
- Key ingredients: Borage Seed, Jojoba Seed, Petitgrain
Blue Chamomile Facial Hydrating Masque
- Description
- Pros
It’s no secret moisturizer is good for the skin, but one skincare step most men forgo is a face mask. This extra step in their skincare routine can help maintain all of the good the other products (face wash, serums, and moisturizers) are already doing. Encourage this extra but beneficial step by adding this face mask for men to your Father’s Day gift.
