This stuff is the best. A little goes a long way; I usually don't run out for at least a good three months. It has a fresh and slightly minty smell to it which is great if you need an extra pick me up in the morning. Perfect for combo, oily and sensi...
Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
I always double cleanse my face at night to, remove the day, so to speak. I always start with an oil cleanser and so far this is the best one I've found! It's simple and gentle, with no fragrances. It always leaves my face feeling extra soft when I'm...
Thunder Tech KOSE Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil 230ml
Soothing and refreshing, with the perfect scent. Great to use at night.
Pyunkang Yul Ultimate Calming Toner
Great all-purpose Serum. Your face will never be dry with this.
Pyunkang Yul Calming Moisture Serum
My go-to on Mask night! So far, I've tried honey, Lavender, Aloe and rice and have yet to be disappointed with the end result, although honey was my favorite. They all do exactly what they say they do. Can't wait to try more of them.
TONYMOLY Sheet Masks
My go to on Exfoliation Night! Understandably, people fear that chemical exfoliants are going to destroy their barrier, but that's never the case with this one. Just follow up with a soothing Toner or Hydrating Serum. Only two or three nights a week ...
Good Molecules Overnight Exfoliating Treatment 30ml
Simple and effective for minimizing pores and managing textured skin. Helps with discoloration and dark spots as well.
Good Molecules Niacinamide Serum 30ml
Honestly my favorite Serum. Whether my skin is feeling dry, irritated or weighed down, this one always comes to the rescue.
Pyunkang Yul PKY Calming Solution Ampoule
If you were scared of Retinol, like myself, this is the perfect one to start with. Gentle, low cost and effective. Start with twice a week and never mix with exfoliants or actives like niacinamide.
Good Molecules Gentle Retinol Cream 30ml
Totally hopping on a trend here, I know, but this stuff is the business. While not absolutely necessary, if you're looking for an extra boost of Hydration, a quick Brightening fix or want your skin to have a little bit more glow, this has you covered...
Taking it old school with this one. While I prefer lighter Moisturizers in general, sometimes I need something a bit heavier and richer when it's extra dry outside or my barrier needs a little more love. When that's the case, I reach for this. Makes ...
89066 NIVEA Soft
I've been through SO MANY vitamin C Serums, and this is the only one that does me right. The others I've tried have either been way too rich, ineffective, or started irritating my skin after so many uses. It can usually be found for around $10 too, w...
Skin 2.0 Vitamin C Serum - Anti-Aging
Neutrogena used to be my holy grail....in high school. When I discovered the wonders of Korean skin care I honestly stuck my nose up at them. Alas, emergencies happen, and Neutrogena is easier to find at my neighborhood Target than CosRx. I must say,...
Hydro Boost Gel Cleanser for Hydration
Lightweight, gentle and easy to rub in. What more could you ask for? Perfect all-purpose Moisturizer
Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Facial Moisturizer 3.4 Fl. Oz
Bath & Body
One of the greatest inventions known to MAN. You'll never be satisfied with a loofah or shower pouf again once you get one of these. Effectively scrubs off all that dirt and dead skin. I've never felt cleaner.
African Net Sponge webshop - Ultimate exfoliation
These are such a dream. They feel so luxurious as you lather them on your skin, and you smell like a snack afterward. My only gripe is that I wish they were just a wee bit more abrasive. The one pictured above, Brown Sugar and Coconut, is my favorite...
Dove Scrub Brown Sugar & Coconut Butter
I love doing this before I shower. It's a way of preemptively lifting dirt and dead skin so it will all rinse right off once the water hits your skin. Great for blood flow and lymphatic drainage as well.
Dry Brushing 101: The Guide to Your New Skincare Ritual
As someone who struggles with the annoying and painful inflammatory skin condition called HS, this stuff not only helps a lot when I have a flare up but it seems to prevent them from happening altogether. I use it once a week in the shower on my HS p...
Hibiclens Antimicrobial Antiseptic Soap 32oz
When I became serious about odor prevention, I used to use this as my first Rinse in the shower. Now I refrain after learning that Antibacterial Soap probably screws up your ph levels big time when used daily. And man do I hate that because this stuf...
Antibacterial Bar Soap For Hands & Body
A former first wash, now I refrain from using Antibacterials in the shower as I don't want to screw with my pH, but this is a less abrasive option in that lane than Dial soap is.
Antibacterial Body Wash
These days, I'm more interested in foreign soaps, but I will always have love for Nubian Heritage. It's often said Africa has the best soaps and I imagine this line was created with that in mind. My favorites are the Raw Shea Butter, Lemongrass and T...
Nubian Heritage Soaps
I was thinking this was just another viral TikTok product, but I found a bar on discount and decided to try it. Suffice to say, I was impressed. So far I've tried the Coconut Castaway, Summer Citrus, Fresh Falls and a Sandalwood one which I can't rem...
Dr. Squatch
Dove never does me wrong. My favored second Rinse in the shower, their cream washes feel so rich and luxurious, providing some much needed moisture after the stripping first Rinse. My personal faves are Glow (mango), Pamper (shea) and Restore (coconu...
Body Wash for All Skin Types
My secondary go to for my second Rinse, sometimes ill even use it as a third Rinse after Dove if I'm feeling extra. They're almost like a liquid cologne, your body will be smelling so good once you're done. The caveat of this is that it severely limi...
Scented Men's Body Wash with Lasting Aromas
These Wipes are perfection. Much stronger than cottonelle or wet Wipes. Whether fresh out of the shower, the gym or, ahem, the toilet, these are always there to either refresh or give some extra love to every crack, crease and unseen crevice on your ...
goodwipes
Now, those of us on the larger side often have to deal with skin friction and rubbing. Very uncomfortable experience. Chafing creams and ointments such as this keep the problem at bay. Admittedly, it does go on kind of heavy but the skin absorbs it f...
A+D Anti-Chafing Ointment - Skin Irritation
This is my other go to for chafing and friction prevention. Goes on much lighter than A&D, though I will note it's kind of awkward to apply, being a stick and all. It also runs out quicker than you'd expect and I've found that A&D lasts longe...
Friction Defense Moisturizing Stick
My holy grail for keeping my...private area, so to speak, dry and moisture free. Much needed when you live in a place that makes one prone to swampass.
Men's Essentials Body Powder - Refresh 360° scent
My holy grail of lotions. I've been using this stuff since high school. I love the way it smells and the way it feels. Keeps my skin smooth and ash free all day. They're also introducing new options! I love the Tahitian Vanilla, in addition to the or...
Cocoa Butter Formula Products
I will NEVER abandon Palmer's...but I must say, EOS is giving them quite the run for their money. Just the right amount of thickness and your skin feels SO smooth after. If it wasn't for the fact that you have to pump a new bottle fifty times before ...
eos Body Care Collection | Lotion, Shave Cream & More
I love using a body oil before my Lotion for maximum moisture. This is my favorite one. I like the cocoa butter one too but it has a very strong chocolate smell to it which can be a bit much sometimes, on top of laying on thicker. This one lays on li...
Palmer's Shea Formula Raw Shea Body Oil with Vitamin E
Maturity is realizing that men's deodorants at large SUCK. Anyway, I just love the Shea Butter, coconut, and Lavender antiperspirants by Dove.
Deodorants & Antiperspirants
Okay, I lied. I have a couple of Dove Men's Antiperspirants and Deodorant sprays in my roster as well. They're definitely the most effective men's deodorants on the market though. All the other lines are so unserious with how they just plain don't wo...
Men's Antiperspirants & Deodorants
My favorite body oil after Palmers. Leaves a smell that's sweet and tropical but not overwhelmingly so.
intense hydration body oil
These are my third favorite oils after Palmers and Alba. The Shea Butter works just as well, the con being the smell leans a bit too heavy on the sweet side for me. I like the Lavender and eucalyptus oils as well, and they'll definitely put you to sl...
Dr Teal's Shea Butter Moisturizing Bath & Body Oil, 8.8 fl oz.
I really want to love Tree Hut, I do. Most of their selection has just the right amount of abrasion without feeling like I'm rubbing my skin with rocks. But they always discontinue my favorite scents. What gives?
Body Scrubs
Just as effective, if not slightly more so, than the powders. It's a bit of an awkward sensation at first but after a few uses you get used to it. Perfect for any area of your body where you sweat a lot.
Moisture and Odor Control
I truly don't give a damn if it's "un-manly". I don't like body hair. It's nothing but a trap for odor and bacteria. I also don't like the feel of trimmers on my body (the hair always grows back too fast with that method anyhow), so I use this stuff....
Veet Men
Hair
Before washing, I like to properly "prep" my hair so to speak. This product gives an extra boost of moisture to my hair before washing. It's helped a great deal as now the shampooing process isn't so stripping. I definitely feel like my hair has had ...
African Pride Moisture Miracle Pre-Shampoo
Rosemary was another viral trend I rolled my eyes at at first but I was actually pretty pleased with this stuff. Formulated in a matter that's not too abrasive, with a relaxing smell to boot.
Rosemary Shampoo
What good is the Rosemary shampoo without the conditioner, amirite? Nice, rich lather and my hair actually feels refreshed when I'm done.
Rosemary Conditioner – as i am
This is what I opt for whenever my hair is feeling weighed down, or just needs a sort of reset. Very effective at removing buildup. Your Scalp will feel brand new afterwards. Be sure to follow up with a Moisturizing Shampoo to replenish your Curls.
Curl Clarity Shampoo - with Coconut, Amla, & Tangerine
Lo and behold, I've found a dupe for As I Am Rosemary Shampoo. Same refreshing wash at a more economical price point. Too bad it doesn't have a matching Conditioner.
African Pride Feel It Strengthening Shampoo
Back when I used to work at Walmart, I stumbled upon this stuff in the hair care aisle one day. It smelled good, and at four dollars a bottle, it couldn't hurt to try. So I did. Now, I can't say I was completely blown away, but I was pleased with the...
Skala Passion Fruit and Pataua Oil Shampoo and Conditioner Kit 325ml
Oh this is a miracle alright. I keep several hair masks in rotation for my biweekly deep condition night and I've never not been pleased with this one. Smells heavenly too.
Honey Miracle Hair Mask
I used to be a Shea Moisture FREAK but something changed at some point and I've since sworn off the majority of their products. This is one of the exceptions. The Hydrating effect is REAL with this one. It's also low porosity friendly which is very r...
My other Shea moisture exception. I avoid SM shampoos and conditioners like the plague these days but still keep this in my hair mask rotation. I find this stuff particularly helps a lot during the warmer months. Almost like a Sunscreen for your hair...
Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Treatment Masque
I just adore this stuff. I always spritz a little bit of this on my hair in the morning before applying any other products. As a matter of fact, sometimes I don't even need to apply any more as that spritz is just what I needed to get my Curls poppin...
Jamaican Black Castor Oil Water
Do what you must for your Curls!
Twist It Up Comb
When I tell you I DESPISE hair greases in general. I have literal trauma attached to them lol. But I will make an exception for this one. As a grease of course it's gonna be greasy but it's not THAT greasy which I like. I also feel like my hair actua...
Softee Hair & Scalp Treatment, Indian Hemp
Smells great, doesn't flake, and you don't really need much to get those Curls to Curl.
Curling Jelly
This is a great Gel for Curl definition. Never flaky and a little goes a long way. Now if only it weren't so pricey (one bottle of this costs $22. Seriously).
Jelly Soft Curls
Every couple of months, I decide I just don't want to deal with my hair and Chop it all off (my hair always grows like crazy so no big deal). I've been through many Pomades and none work as good as this one. I feel like water based products are demon...
Suavecito Pomade
Hands, Feet and Nails
This kit is an absolute must have for your nails. I use these for weekly routine clean up. Never too aggressively though. Some things should be left to the manicurist.
Men's Manicure Set Finger & Toe Nail Tools
I know reusable nail files exist but I don't like them LOL. They honestly stop being useful after the tenth time you use them anyway. Instead, find a set of thin, disposable nail files. The higher the grit, the better, because jagged nails neither lo...
Strong and Hard professional Jumbo nail files (25 pcs) grit 80/100 Square
I always keep a multi-sided nail buffer on hand for my weekly nail routine. Keeps the nail bed shiny, even and smooth and they always last forever too.

Who said you need to take a trip to the nail shop to get your cuticles moisturized? Get yourself some Cuticle Oil and show your cuticles some love whenever you want at home. My cuticles grow at a ravenous rate and are also prone to dryness, so I need...
The 8 Best Cuticle Oils of 2026, Tested and Reviewed
Like everything else on your body, your nails need cleaning. Thankfully, it's not a daunting process at all with this handy little tool. Once or twice a week I just run my fingernails under some water, thoroughly brush them, and all that dirt and gun...
Nail Brush
I keep a handful of these around to assist with cleaning my nails. Great for tight crevices and stubborn pieces of dirt and residue your nail brush might miss. Also makes for a good light Cuticle pusher, although I only do that if I absolutely have t...
Wooden Sticks For Nails
The best hand creams around. I absolutely love this stuff. I keep one on my counter to use before bed and first thing in the morning and keep another one in my bag to use throughout the day. Dry, cracked and ashy hands? I don't know them.
Scented Hand Creams
I can always count on these to Scrub away all the dirt, gunk and dead skin off of my feet.

No point in cleaning your feet if you don't properly Moisturize them after.
Gold Bond Therapeutic Foot Cream
Beard and Shave
While not quite my favorite shave cream, it is my usual go to (cheaper and easier to find, what can I say?). It lathers well and its subtly mentholated which provides a much needed cooling sensation as you shave. It's honestly fine, I just personally...
Sensitive Skin Shave Cream
Now THIS is my favorite shave cream. It has such a smooth, luxurious lather. Every morning shave with it feels like a trip to the barber shop. And don't get me started on how COOL it is. Very mentholated, feels like being at the barbers AND at the sp...
Premium Shave Cream
This is my second favorite Shaving Cream, a sort of middle ground between Bigelow and Cremo. It's rumored to have the same formula as the former but I don't think that's the case. It comes out thicker and doesn't have as high a menthol level to me. I...
Shaving Cream Tube: Refreshing
Sick and tired of being gouged by Gillette? Then I suggest you give Dollar Shave Club a try. The handles and replacement blades are more reasonably priced by FAR, with a much closer shave to boot. At least in my opinion.
Razor Blade Options | Handles
This stuff is a godsend for those of us with skin sensitivity and/or are prone to Razor burn, Ingrowns and bumping. A little old school, but sometimes the old school is the best school. Just hold the bar under some water and softly rub all over fresh...
Gentleman Jon 3.7oz Alum Block in Case
Nicks and cuts are gonna happen. Instead of trying to get the bleeding to stop with a tissue or toilet paper square, use this and watch your post-shave cuts heal instantly.
Clubman Jumbo Styptic Pencil ƒ?? Extra Strength for Nicks
I like to use this after rubbing my face with an Alum bar to proactively prevent Razor bumps and Ingrown hairs from happening. If your face is REALLY sensitive, you could always wait and softly Brush your face with this at night before washing your f...
Ingrown Hair Brush
I don't presently have a beard (debating on whether I wanna grow one again or not) but when I did, this stuff was the truth. It didn't feel like a full blown face Shampoo which I liked. Actually layered quite well with my face wash which was convenie...
Now THIS is a nose Trimmer. The round ones are so bad at cutting nose hair I find them practically useless, and the horizontal blade ones are simply too awkward to use. With a vertical blade however, my nose actually feels clear of hair afterward. Oh...

Convenient and easy to use for a quick touch up on your eyebrows and Beard line.

Always keep some of these on hand for strays and dead ends.
Beard, Moustache & Hair Grooming Scissors
Keep yourself looking fresh between cuts and Beard trims.
Clippers & Trimmers
Oils & Liquids
This is one of those things that I use for everything (except on my skin, ironically enough). The pH restoring properties are UNREAL. I use it on my underarms, thighs, behind ears, neck, and sometimes even my Scalp. It's like a dry Antibacterial wash...
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
PURE Aloe Vera Gel (be mindful, a lot of stuff you see in stores is just green goo with a little bit of Aloe Vera mixed in) is like a nectar of the gods for hygiene. I use it on my skin after prolonged sun exposure, between my toes for dryness and bu...
Seven Minerals Organic 100% Pure Aloe Vera Gel
Witch hazel is another "magic liquid" I always keep around. I primarily use it as one of the ingredients in my Aftershave Tonic and as a dry wash for my, ahem, unmentionables.
Witch Hazel - Uses, Side Effects, and More
This stuff makes for a great Scalp exfoliant. I also like to use it as a mix in for mud and clay Facial masks as well.
6 Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar, Backed by Science
I keep this stuff around as a sort of Hydration booster. Not only is it part of my homemade Aftershave but I occasionally mix it in with Aloe Vera Gel and lotions if things are feeling extra dry. Also a good backup Hydration agent for hair as well
Pure Vegetable Glycerine | Natural Moisturizer & Cleanser
I love to spritz this on my face in the morning before moisturizing
Rose Water | Hydrated Glowing Skin
So I do a lot of experimenting with oils. JBCO is great for hair thickening and strengthening. I like to use it in my pre-shave oil, beard/mustache oil and my pre-hair wash hot oil treatment/massage
Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil
Definitely one of the most versatile oils around. It's anti-inflammatory which makes it a great addition to my pre-shave Oil. It's also very light and hydrating which makes it suitable for my scalp oil blend as well
NOW Foods Sweet Almond Oil, 100% Pure
If you don't use jojoba oil on your hair (especially if you're type 3 or 4, even more especially if you're low porosity) then what are you even doing with your life? It's practically sebum in a bottle. Light and never greasy. An absolute must in my h...

Nighttime Facial Oil, pre shave oil, Scalp oil, carrier oil....yeah, I do a little bit of everything with Vitamin E oil. Make sure it's pure.
Seven Minerals Ultra Pure Vitamin E Oil
Something of a cliche I know, but the Antiseptic properties of TTO are no joke. It's one of the ingredients in my Aftershave and I occasionally make use of it as a spot Treatment as well.
Tea tree oil
Smells great, soothes the skin and relaxes the mind. Love pouring a few drops of this in the shower or on my sheets. Occasionally use it in my homemade Aftershave mix as well.
100% Pure Lavender Essential Oil
This is honestly just one of my favorite smells. I primarily use it to fragrance my pre-shave oil and also on my pulse points as a base for colognes, but I'm always looking for an excuse to use this stuff LOL
Sandalwood Fragrance Oil
Sun Care
Japanese sunscreens are honestly the BEST to me and this is my favorite one. Light and gentle, absorbs quickly, no eye burn and no white cast. It's honestly perfect. Now if only it were easier to find and/or more readily available through conventiona...
Sunkiller
Given that I often struggle to find Sunkiller, this is my go to for Sunscreen in the winter months. It's just as good as the former for the most part, it's just slightly richer and requires a bit more rubbing in, but those are minor inconveniences.
Biore UV Aqua Rich Hydrating Moisturizer SPF50
Now, much as I adore Japanese Sunscreen, they simply aren't as effective in the summer heat where I live (Las Vegas if you were wondering). As such, I switch to an Australian Sunscreen in the summer months (I hate American Facial sunscreens with a PA...
Sunscreen for Face
Before I started exploring foreign sunscreens, this was my go to, and I still keep it around as a backup option. While technically still American, it's Hawaiian formulated so it follows a standard closer to that of Australian sunscreens. I never have...
Hawaiian Tropic Weightless Hydration SPF 30
Now when it comes to the rest of my body, I prefer to use Mist and/or aerosol sunscreens. Sadly, that rules out most Japanese and Australian options due to shipping regulations, but this is a good American option. It's Reef-safe which makes it closer...

Lips, Eyes and Slugging

This little blue tube is some powerful stuff. It's light and goes on so smooth. It feels like you've covered your lips in a layer of silk right before bed.
Overnight Lip Mask – 0.34 fl oz
I don't know what I was thinking in the past. I used to think reapplying Lip Balm ten to twenty times a day was adequate before I began using this as a base. Now, I only have to reapply my Lip Balm five times a day or less. Can also be used as a repl...
Vaseline® Lip Therapy® Advanced Healing Tube
I've tried so many different Lip balms over the years and yet I always return to this one. It's rich but not to the point where I feel like it's caked up on my lips. It feels like the sort of Lip Balm a high end cosmetics line would make, at a fract...
Pomegranate Lip Balm
Lord why is this one so hard to find? (At least in my area anyway). This used to be my go to summer Lip Balm. Light, Hydrating and the perfect flavor for the hot, Vegas summers. Then, at some point, it virtually vanished. I thought it was discontinue...

As someone who's long been plagued with dark circles and under eye puffiness in the morning, this stuff is a godsend. For starters, the price is fantastic. Eye gels and creams tend to be very overpriced in my experience, while this stuff is consisten...
Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel
Puffy eyes and dark circles are truly such a boon for me. These strips help me keep them in check. Once a week, at night, I leave these under my eyes for five to ten minutes before bed just to refresh them. I always wake up with my eyes looking sligh...
24K Gold Under Eye Patches for Puffy Eyes
So I took a look at the discount shelf at Target a while back and came across this. It was so cheap I figured, why not pick it up, and it's good for so many things! I primarily use it as a Cuticle Balm and to Moisturize my eyebrows. I also occasional...

As someone prone to dry and ashy elbows, knees and ankles (to the point where Lotion just ain't enough) this always manages to save the day. Beyond there, I also like to rub a little on my pressure points before applying fragrance oils and colognes t...

The dual Floss picks from this line are my favorite. Very strong and sturdy and I feel like with two Floss lines it cleans between the teeth much more thoroughly as well.
Gurunanda: Floss & Picks

This is a great extra step to add to your dental routine. A sort of power wash for your mouth that blasts away hardened plaque, tartar and buildup. Only do at night, it's kind of pointless in the morning LOL
Waterpik
