Let’s face it. We gals can be a little bit finicky sometimes. Men, on the other hand, tend to know what they want. But do they know what they NEED? Well, that’s a whole different story. While many guys have happily introduced a ‘beauty‘ or skin care regime of some kind into their lives, many others are just a wee bit more hesitant to do the same. That’s where YOU come in! Whether it’s your loving beau, a male relative, or guy bestie, help them see the light so they can stock up on these everyday essentials:
The very thought of going to bed without washing our face makes us cringe. But did you know your man likely does that every single day? Water from the shower doesn’t count, mister! To make sure he wakes up to fresh and clean skin, introduce him to the popular COSRx Good Morning Cleanser (P600). It’s gentle on skin but tough on dirt and other nastiness. It also exfoliates, soothes, and hydrates skin at the same time. Plus, its ideal pH means it won’t irritate skin and won’t strip it of its natural oils.
Let’s face it. Some guys will just be too darn stubborn to embrace a proper skin care routine, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be without one entirely. That’s where sheet masks come in. He’ll love that they’re a one-step skin care that’ll cover just enough of his skin’s needs and it’ll only take 20 minutes or less. Great mask options include the TONYMOLY I’m Real Seaweeds Mask Sheet (P85), to purify skin and revitalize dull complexions, or the My Scheming Pore Minimizing Black Mask (P95) that shrinks pores and balances oil secretion.
Some men are like lions. Their ‘mane’ is their pride and joy. Preach the truth and let them know that hair care is just as important if they want to keep their tresses healthy and full even in their old (-er) age. That’s why they should lather up everyday with the likes of the Zenutrients Gugo Strengthening Shampoo (P249-P790) that strengthens hair and even promotes hair growth. Fun bro fact: It’s a bestseller among Calyxta’s male customers! Tell him to maximize the effects by following it up with the Zenutrients Gugo Strengthening Hair Serum (P499) to boost and maintain hair and scalp strength.
You can’t fault the average dude for not seeing the wonders of makeup, but even they can’t deny there are some complexion catastrophes they could do without. Men suffer from breakouts, dark under eye circles, and redness just like we do. While he doesn’t have to start learning how to apply foundation, he can definitely benefit from a good concealer. Reassure him that when applied properly, it’ll be practically invisible while also banishing any blemishes. Go for a no-fuss one like the Pink Sugar Our Lil’ Secret Concealer (P349) or the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer (P199). Both come with a handy applicator, are creamy and easy to blend, and are available in a number of shades to suit every guy whether he’s mestizo, moreno, or somewhere in between.
Now that he’s discovered the wonderful world of ‘beauty’ and skin care, he’ll need a sleek, stylish looking pouch, like the “Frankie“ from Mayvn (P1,650), to keep all those items organized. With seven distinguished colors to choose from, and lined with luxurious satin, he won’t have any excuse to not keep his newfound needs on hand.
