So you’ve hit the beach a lot this summer and probably haven’t taken care of your face. When Winter comes along you hit the slopes and also do not apply anything to your face. Well, Pinstripe put together a list of the Top 10 mens moisturizers. These moisturizers will keep you looking young, refreshed and skin alive.
Haven’t exactly been on top of your skincare routine? Odds are, it shows on your face-in the form of dull, rough skin. Rescue your complexion with this potent formula. It contains glycolic acid-a chemical exfoliant that removes the top layers of dead skin-as well as vitamin C and white birch, two potent brightening ingredients. These actives work together to even out skin tone and smooth rough texture for soft, glowing skin.
Your skin needs more than a just a splash of water in the morning: hydration and sun protection are essential to its health. Jack Black’s 2-in-1 moisturizer is a fast-absorbing formula that guards against UV rays all day and repairs skin cells overnight. With no fragrance and no colorants, you won’t even know it’s there.
We love a multistep skincare routine-but sometimes you just need to get it done. Specifically formulated for men’s skin (and their multitasking ways), this face cream from Kiehl’s is part moisturizer, part antiaging powerhouse. Salicylic acid sloughs off dead skin cells and unclogs pores, linseed oil lifts and firms skin, and caffeine combats puffiness.
The demand for daily moisture doesn’t stop with your face. This all-over lotion contains a bevy of nourishing botanicals, which work with your body’s natural oils to keep skin healthy and hydrated-without a greasy finish. Its mild, herbal scent is distinctive, but notoverpowering, providing an easy entree into the world of musky fragrance.
Although it’s green in color and bears the name U.F.O, this dry oil contains effective acne-fighting ingredients that are anything but alien. 1.5% salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and black cumin seed oil clear out congested pores, blackheads, and zits, while hexylresorcinol and licorice brighten old scars and even out skin tone. It might seem counterintuitive to put oil on acne, but because it absorbs quickly, it’s suitable for all skin types, even oily and sensitive complexions. And to avoid the power of these clearing ingredients drying skin out, milk thistle, cucumber seed oil, chamomile, and neroli add nourishment and help soothe.
You don’t need a greasy, heavyweight cream to achieve lasting moisture. This formula taps hyaluronic acid to strengthen skin’s lipid barrier, locking in moisture all day long while soothing and refreshing with ginger and willow extract.
If your skin gets enough oil, it won’t overproduce the stuff that makes you shiny. This face oil contains ten botanic and flower oils-and nothing else-which deliver deep, antioxidant-rich moisture to keep skin clear, firm, even, and bright.
In our never-ending quest for the best way to illuminate and hydrate skin, philosophy® dreamed up this simple kit filled with four game-changing products that will help you get there. The gentle cleanser washes away impurities while gently toning and hydrating skin. Next, say goodbye to fine lines by refining your complexion with the moisturizer. Then, restore skin’s radiance by peeling away dead skin and dullness with the weekly peel (a combo of resurfacing crystals and gel). The result? A smoother, hydrated, and completely radiant face.
Sculpting your abs takes dedication and many, many crunches. Firming up your face and neck area? While it also take commitment, it’s a lot easier to accomplish thanks to this restorative night cream that’s designed to define, lift, and contour your features like your cheeks, jawline, neck, and chest. Plus, the cream-gel formula is rich, moisturizing, and instantly gives the skin a luminous look upon application.
The world of skincare is a battlefield, what with all the product strategy involved and dodging of potential beauty minefields. That’s why when we find something we love, like this longtime favorite, we stick with it. Originally created for professionals, philosophy®’s hope in a jar™ has been a best-seller for years. With a souffle-like texture, it melts into your skin to leave your face feeling refreshed and supple.
