The best grooming product for men
1. Neutrogena Men Sensitive Skin Oil-Free Moisture SPF 30, $6.99
This
non-greasy formula has four (count 'em, four) chemical sunscreens that
protect against both types of harmful ultraviolet light -- UVA and UVB
rays -- and help prevent everything from wrinkles to skin cancer. Tell Dad to rub a tablespoonful on his face, neck, ears, and exposed scalp areas every morning, no matter the weather forecast (harmful rays get through clouds and rain).
2. Ahava Men's Exfoliating Cleansing Gel, $19
Good
for dads with normal to oily skin, this scrub boasts aloe and ginseng
to soothe and soften. Friedman recommends using it once a week to help
prevent ingrown hairs that can result from shaving.
3. Redken for Men Go Clean Daily Care Shampoo, $11.50
Proteins
strengthen hair, and glycerin offers moisture and shine. Best of all,
this shampoo contains no harsh ingredients and no girly perfumes --
Friedman says it has a pleasant, masculine smell.
4. Gillette Foamy Sensitive Skin Shave Foam, $3.19
Who
says you need fancy scents and crazy colors? Friedman uses this simple
shaving cream himself, since it's hydrating, lathers up well, and is
scent-free to reduce skin irritation.
5. Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Foot Therapy Cream, $5.11
Vitamins A, C, and E help heal dry skin
and retain moisture. Friedman says his patients like that this cream is
non-greasy, penetrates quickly, and works fast to reduce cracks and
fissures in the heels and feet.
6. Tweezerman Power Nail Clipper, $6
This
nail nipper is embedded in a long handle for extra control. But what
Friedman likes best about it is the guarantee: Tweezerman sharpens
dulled clippers for free, for as long as the blades last.
7. CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion, $12.99
Goodbye,
dry! This non-greasy lotion contains hyaluronic acid to draw moisture
into the skin, plus ceramides, lipid molecules that help maintain skin's
moisture barrier. Tell Dad to slather it on after a shower (but it's
not a substitute for daily sun protection -- it contains no SPF).
8. Aveeno Positively Ageless Daily Exfoliating Cleanser, $8.99
Gentle
enough to use every day, this cleanser puts the kibosh on dead skin
cells and contains shiitake (that's right, the mushroom) -- a source of
kojic acid, a natural skin brightener.
