men’s  wellness  Guide

It’s starting to look a little like spring (take that Punxsutawney Phil)! With the winter ending, everybody is frantically preparing for the warm weather and hopefully a sunny vacation. Whether you find yourself at the gym a little more than usual, are looking for ways to eat a bit cleaner, or are doing a major closet clean out, the mad dash towards wellness from March to June can be a bit stressful. While eating right, working out, and dressing well are important steps when taking care of yourself, establishing a proper skincare routine is equally essential. While we have gone ahead and done the research and real life polling to find some of the best and more popular products to use, the key to success lies in understanding your specific skin and hair type before investing in products. Feeling overwhelmed by all of our suggestions? Start with the basics: cleanse with a gentle formula like Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser, followed by targeted treatments such as CeraVe's Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum or The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% for oilier skin. Don't skip sun protection—Elta MD's UV Sheer SPF 50+ provides crucial defense as outdoor time increases. For exfoliation, incorporate Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant 2-3 times weekly, and finish with a moisturizer like Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream. For hair care, consider your texture—Briogeo's Curl Charisma for curls and waves, Tea Tree's Special Scalp Care Shampoo for deep cleansing, and SheaMoisture Leave-In Conditioner for extra hydration. Pair these with proper tools like the Philips Norelco Multigroom for precise grooming or the Henson AL13-M Razor with Astra blades for a smooth shave, and you'll be well on your way to looking refreshed for spring without the panic. Don't feel pressured to adopt every product at once—simply selecting 3-4 items that address your specific concerns can transform your routine. Just think of all the confidence you can gain when you start your day using different products for your hair, skin, and body rather than a 3-in-1 shower wash or whatever products your roommate keeps leaving by the sink!
