The Skin Care Products Men Will Actually Use

To any beauty novice-level men out there reading this… we need you to know two things. 1. Skin care should be applied to the skin past your face and 2. Put the toilet seat DOWN. Now that we have those very important PSAs out there, we can move on. 

We know the world beyond basic hygiene can be totally daunting, and the words like skin care *gasp* and moisturiser *shudder* are not ones you care to learn. But we’re basically begging you to listen to us, because we swear we just want the best for your skin. And if that isn’t enough, know that there are even specifically-adapted ranges of products to suit mens’ skin care needs (and visual appeals). 

So without further ado, here’s the men’s skin care products that guys will actually want to use… 

Best Skin Care For Men

DU’IT Foot & Heel Balm PLUS

We say: As we mentioned earlier, your skin care applies to ALL of your skin. So please, for the love of God, stop ignoring your feet. We’re coming into sandal season and there’s one thing we’re putting at the top of all our wishlists: no more crusty heels. Now we know this seems like a big ask but it’s as simple as slathering some cream across your heels and voila you’ve answered our prayers! 

You say: “My husband is a baker and on his feet all day this is a godsend. The packaging is very informative, it is easy to open too. The product is very thick I found so you do n out need a lot of it to be effective. When rubbing this on I found massaging the area the best way. Afterwards I ensured that I was off my feet while my feet absorbed the product. Now let’s get serious, did it work – yes! There was a significant improvement in the skin in a week. I found it became softer, not so rough. Would I continue using this product? Yes! Happy with the results after weeks, it is definitely a product I will re purchase I was impressed with the results with my skin and my husband’s feet!” – sharnsb

Bathefex Exfoliating Body Buff

We say: Continuing on the ‘not-just-for-face’ skin care trend, we need you to know you’ve got to buff away your dead skin. Your vaguely scaly arms and legs will thank you for it. It might even help to clear up those pesky bumps you always wonder about. 

You say: “If you’re in need of a reliable exfoliating tool, this body buff is a solid choice. The exfoliating action of this body buff is commendable. The texture is just abrasive enough to slough away dead skin cells, leaving my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. It’s particularly effective on rougher areas like elbows and knees. The inclusion of natural exfoliating agents, such as ground walnut shell, adds to the appeal. Knowing that I’m using a product with natural ingredients aligns with my preference for skincare.” – Jemma128

The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector

We say: This comes from personal experience from beautyheaven HQ: you will love this hand ‘protector’. It’s a TikTok sellout for a reason. The ultra-nourishing cream is almost as hard-working as you are, and it’s super simple to rub into your hands. Plus, you can rest assured, it smells plenty masculine. 

You say: “I spent a day painting my house. I am not a tidy painter. My hands were covered in harsh exterior house paint so I scrubbed and scrubbed at them. Then I used some body shop hemp hand protector to see how it would go. I was so very pleased with the results. My hands drank in all that lovely hydration.” – Bayrad4

Hemp Co Classic Citrus Beard & Face Oil

We say: So, we’ve finally made it to the face. Guys, we sure hope you’re still reading (or have at least forwarded the article to your female counterparts as somewhat of a Christmas gift list). So, you’re a beard boy? (Hamish Blake would be so proud). But with great facial hair comes great responsibility.

Hemp Co’s beard and face oil works to nourish your beard and even soothes the skin underneath. You’ll be able to finally say goodbye to that itchy beard feeling.

Bro-To Properly Clean

Nutrimetics MAN Moisturising Crème SPF 15

We say: It may have been falling on deaf ears, but we’ll keep yelling about the importance of sun safety until it’s heard. And while our moisturising recommendation may come with a built-in SPF, we’ll be asking you to slather a 50+ over the top, stay out of the sun (and please put on a hat and some sunnies). Back to this moisturiser though, if you want admirers chasing you, boy, do we have a product for you. Formulated to optimise your pheromones (yes, seriously), this moisturiser will help you land a lady and keep her with your flawless glowing skin.

Dr Teal’s Body Wash – Relax & Relief

We say: So, we know our men aren’t the most caring when it comes to their skin. The fact that they’re using any form of soap is a true and astounding miracle. But what if we made their soap ‘fun’ in the form of a Trojan Horse body wash? How is it a Trojan Horse? Well this invigorating blend of eucalyptus and spearmint will not only wash away all that gunky build-up but it’s packed with aloe vera, shea butter and vitamin E so his skin will be secretly moisturised. Shhh don’t tell him!
