Summer is a few weeks away and if you haven't already, it's time to shed that extra layer of scruff.  Take advantage of Father's Day promotionals and travel kits to tryout new products with low risk.

Here are a few basic guidelines and products to try to stay smooth all season. 

1.) Get a good cleanser-The first set in achieving healthy skin that would envy Zeus. We love Kiehl's and the range of skincare products tailored to your special needs. If you have a beard, remember to include that in your wash regimen too.

​

2.) Exfoliate- Wether your are prone to pesky ingrown hairs or need a little more polish, a good exfoliant is essential in maintaining healthy skin. The ingredient list for Lush's Ocean Salt is enough to make us stop and take notice.  Think of it as a morning margarita. The cleansing effects of lime and vodka are ideal for blocked pores, blackheads or blemishes and leave skin visibly brightened.

3.) Invest in a good clipper or razor - Having the right tools makes all the difference in the world.  The Braun Series7 is a favorite with its hand three settings option to get the shave just right for your face shape and needs. If you have a few hard to reach spots (aka the back of your shoulder), check out the Professional Mangroomer.

4.) Moisturize & Protect - We love Jack Black products and especially this moisturizer the does double duty in moisturizing with antioxidants (keeps your skin looking younger) and broad brand SPF coverage.  Moisturizing is a keep step that many guys skimp on but it pays off in the long run.  If you are sporting a beard this season, be sure to moisture that as well with the array of beard oils on the market.
