Everyday Grooming Routine: Stay at Home Edition
With Movember in full swing and no barbers open to keep on top of your trim, it’s now more important than ever to invest in an easy grooming routine you can stick to. To help, we’ve put together some of our favourite products to help you create an Everyday Grooming Routine: Stay at Home Edition.
Rejuvenate your skin
A perfected grooming look always begins with your skin. Start with a cleansing lotion such as the Clinique for Men Charcoal Face Wash.Formulated with natural charcoal, the detoxifying gel penetrates skin to remove excess oil and dirt for unclogged, refined pores. The wash also lifts and softens facial hair to prepare for shaving and delivers long-lasting comfort to leave you feeling refreshed all day long. Follow this with a lightweight moisturiser such as The Hydrator from ESPA. The product offers long-lasting hydration that works to nourish and soothe the skin while helping to provide protection from environmental pollution.
Shape it up
Whether you’re growing it out for Movember or just want to keep your beard in tip top condition we have the products for you. Start off with the Bulldog Original 2-in-1 Beard Shampoo and Conditioner to refresh and energise your beard. The two-in-one formula works to cleanse, soften and detangle facial fuzz and the skin beneath. Enriched with Aloe Vera, the multi-beneficial product eliminates impurities from your beard, leaving it perfectly groomed without stripping moisture. To help nourish and style, use the L’Oréal Paris Men Expert Barber Club Beard Oil. Powered by Cedarwood essential oil, the conditioning formula helps to tame and soften beard hair while respecting and nourishing skin beneath. Non-greasy, the grooming solution will leave your facial hair looking perfectly preened and your skin feeling soft and soothed.
Ace your base
Look ready and awake for your Zoom calls with the help of some complexion enhancing products. Take the Tan-Luxe The Face Illuminating Self-Tan Drops to help achieve a sun-kissed illuminating complexion. Simply add a few drops to your favourite moisturiser for a customisable glow without any streaks to give it away! Housed in a glass bottle topped with a pipette dispenser for ultimate control and fuss-free application. To help minimise the appearance of bags or imperfections try the Tom Ford Concealer. The smooth, lightweight, creamy formula blends effortlessly, minimising the look of enlarged pores and blemishes, ideal for those who are prone to the appearance of redness and breakouts.
Style your locks
If you don’t want to attempt a DIY trim and you’re more than happy to let your hair grow au naturale, we have the perfect products to help you style it. Transform limp, lifeless locks with the Aveda Thickening Hair Tonic; a powerful treatment that works to boost volume from root to tip. Packed with botanical ingredients, the formula is ideal for thinning hair, allowing you to achieve a fuller, denser appearance after just one use. To help style, use the Redken Styling Rough Clay.Designed to give your hair a flexible hold and a matte finish, it will create texture and definition for a true 'messy' look. Boasting a colour-safe formula, the clay also features UV filters which will protect your hair against environmental aggressors, helping to keep it strong and healthy
