Even if you are too much of a man to pick up a loofah, we’ve found grooming products that you won’t embarrassed to use at the gym. Men still don’t have the choice that we girls have, but the range and quality of guy gear is getting better all the time and here are some of the best we have found so far. Get the perfect shave (and we mean perfect) with Pevonia and Dermalogica, get clean (and mean) with Manumission, get ahead with Max Green Alchemy and get younger with Gessato.

Clarisonic Brush Pro-Deluxe for Men ($195). If was a man, I would be bowled over to receive a Clarisonic Brush. But then I already know what a difference it makes. I know that some guys will be put off by the idea of introducing another layer into their morning routine and yet all it takes is 30-seconds to get the perfect pre-shave prep. It can be used on dry skin or to apply cleanser or shaving soap. It will slough off dead skin cells for a smoother shave and it should reduce razor irritation and burn. It works miracles at cleansing and closing pores.
Pevonia Aromatic Seaweed Bath ($26.50). It’s time Dad ditched the epsom salts. Not only is Pevonia mineralizing and detoxifying, it’s quite nourishing and de-stressing. There is laminaria digitata (algae) extract, a seaweed (from the Brittany Sea) that contains amino acids and vitamins (A,E, C and B), helping to strengthen the immune system, increase vitality and protect against damage from free radicals. Laminaria also increases blood circulation and stimulates lymph production to eliminate toxins (plus it’s known to treat cellulite and obesity). www.pevonia.com Read more...

Suki Lemongrass Exfoliate Cleanser ($29.95). I love this cleanser by Suki. Claire loves it too. Unscrew the lid and start your day with one of the best zingy, lemony smells ever. Your bathroom will fill with sunshine. Guaranteed. Scoop a small amount into wet palms. Here’s the surprising part. It’s an exfoliating cleanser that is foamy and creamy. And it really does its job – its not one of those that are namby-pamby-too-gentle-to-have-any-effect, nor is it like rubbing up against a sheet of sandpaper. Lemongrass is an astringent and natural exfoliant. There is also calendula (pot marigold) to sooth and algae to help collagen production. Use it on days when you hate your open pores, or need some help restoring your wholesome glow. Read more...

Truth In Aging is proud to present its first Five Best selection of men’s facial products. Its a bit of a hotch-potch of moisturizers and serums – as time goes on and we find more good things, the selection can be refined to Five Best eye creams for men and so on. What used to be called men’s grooming is finally moving into cutting edge anti-aging skin care. Five Best’s criteria is, as always, based on scrupulously reviewing all ingredients and recommending those that are backed by clinical trials, seeing the evidence with our own eyes, and choosing products that do no evil (or as little as possible) to us or the environment.
