Stay Clear & Soft
Stay Clear & Soft
Masc doesn't have to mean rugged. Stay Smooth.
I've used this for decades. I have tried other face scrubs, but nothing keeps my face as soft, smooth, and clear as this stuff!
St. Ives Acne Control Face Scrub 6 oz
I hate dealing with the mesh loofahs that seem like such a good deal in the store. They breed bacteria quickly. These exfoliating cloths are amazing & easy to keep cleaner, longer. Great for scrubbing the hard-to-reach areas on your back.
obmwang 6pcs Korean Exfoliating Mitts & Washcloth Set
For every day cleansing, this product is gentle enough for my sensitive skin, and leaves my face feeling fresh. It lasts forever, too.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Cleanser
If you have a few dark spots, like me, this soap is amazing. It's fairly inexpensive, and a pack will last a couple months, easy.
Uselective Lemon Turmeric Soap for Dark Spot
For the love of all things, you have to moisturize! I don't like using lotions on my face and hands; those tend to dry it out or break me out. I use just a bead-size amount of this right out of the shower, and my face and hands stay super soft. I'm 4...
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Daily Skin Therapy Lotion 7.25oz
Moisturize everything…and I mean -everything!- Whether you've been out in the sun on a hike, kayaking with your partner, or just walking the dog, you have to take care of your skin, bro. It smells great, and pairs well with more masculine scented col...

If you like to use body wash, this smells great & I've never had any issues with bad skin reactions.

Everyone knows by now that you need the Vitamin D from the sun, but you still need to protect yourself from cancer. Just put it on! (after 15 minutes)
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk SPF 60
No one wants to talk about it, but PCOS is very much a Real Issue for women. I'll be the one to say, if you have to shave your chin/upper lip/neck or whatever, use a razor that doesn't destroy your face. This is my 2nd choice-pick.
Gillette ProGlide Shield Men's Razor, 5 Blades + 4 Refills
Don't be judgy with this. My #1 pick for PCOS hair battle is this razor. Yes, I know it's marketed for pubic hair--but it works!
Gillette Venus Bikini Razors for Women, 4 Blades
Hormone acne is still a thing, even at 40. Just buy the patches. They work super fast, and don't leave my face red and blotchy.
Mighty Patch™ Original Hydrocolloid Acne Patch (36 Count)
Do not sleep on a good face mask. I don't care how masculine you present, you deserve a little self-care. (And honestly, we all need to feel like princesses sometimes)
BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Deep Hydrogel Mask 4pc
No one will know. Puffy eyes and dark circles aren't a good look, fam. Wear them to sleep. Thank me later.
grace & stella Under Eye Mask - 24 Pairs
Shower (steam), moisturizing cream, then oil. Lock it in.
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Face Oil with Vitamins E & C, Rosehip, 1oz
Don't use your bare hands to clean your face. Use one of these, keep it rinsed out, then just toss it after a couple of weeks. They're affordable and leave you feeling clean and refreshed.
4 Pack JEXCULL Silicone Face Scrubber Brush
Way better than shaving cream or gel & smells good enough to eat.
