10 essential men's beauty products: my selection

10 products is not a lot!! But, I'm going to make the effort to sort through all the men's beauty products that I've been able to test in recent years, and which still exist. Because hey, there are brands that have unfortunately disappeared, or men's beauty products that simply no longer exist, replaced by others.

So inevitably, to highlight 10 men's beauty products, I had to make a choice. So I started with a classic men's beauty routine, which will suit the greatest number of people.

Here is my selection of the best men's beauty products, in my opinion. It is of course a very suggestive selection according to my personal tastes. This list will be regularly updated according to my discoveries and new tests.

Horace facial cleanser

Horace 's facial cleanser is for me one of the best facial cleansers for men that can be found today. Simple, effective, made with natural ingredients, this facial cleanser is undoubtedly a beauty product for men to have in their bathroom.

Find here in more detail my opinion on this brand (with an additional reduction :)).

Thermal water

Thermal water is a beauty product for men to integrate into their daily routine. It is indeed imperative to have moistened skin before applying your next care (serum, day cream, night cream). Why ? Because the active ingredients will penetrate the skin better, and therefore make the treatments more effective. I chose La Roche Posay thermal water because it is known for its moisturizing properties. But other thermal waters are also recommended: Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc, Evian, Avène, Uriage...

Depending on your skin type, other thermal waters may be recommended.

Sanoflore floral water

Floral water can replace thermal water. The difference is that the qualities specific to each plant integrated into the thermal waters will bring their beneficial effects to the skin. Rose floral water will help maintain skin hydration while lavender floral water will be effective for oily skin. Floral water is therefore a beauty product for men to integrate into their routine. Especially in the evening, it is very pleasant.

Detox face scrub Maison Berthe Guilhem

House what? Yes, I know, it's a brand that is not known at all, at least among men, and it's really, really a shame. I discovered this brand on an organic market in Nice, and since then, I can't do without its detox face scrub. Made with goat's milk, organic, the product is really very pleasant.

If you want to know more, you can find my article on the brand here.

La Roche Posay Toleriane Ultra Eye Contour

I present the eye contour here, in this position, because it is to be put before all other cream or gel type care. Indeed, the skin around the eye being very thin, if you put another beauty product on top of it (a serum or a day cream for example), then the eye contour will not be effective. I chose the Tolériane Ultra eye contour from La Roche Posay because I love its texture which penetrates very well into the skin.

Skinceuticals Phloretin CF Anti-Aging Serum

Anti-aging skincare concerns everyone, which is why I decided to include an anti-aging serum in the essentials of men's beauty products. And not just any old serum, the Phloretin CF anti-aging serum from Skinceuticals, a well-known brand for the performance of these treatments.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream Moisturizer

I highlight this moisturizer in my selection of men's beauty products because it is suitable for all skin types. I particularly like the texture of this Kiehl's cream, very light, non-greasy, which penetrates perfectly into the skin.

Recipe For Men Anti-Blemish Stick

I couldn't talk about essential men's beauty products without talking about makeup for men ! Because yes, men like to hide their imperfections, whether it's pimples, redness, dark circles that are a little too brown or gray... In short, all the imperfections that can give the impression of having a mine room. I chose Recipe For Men's anti-blemish stick because it doesn't leave that powdery effect on the skin that repels men so much.

Horace shaving cream

Doing an article on men's beauty products, not to mention a shaving product, of course wasn't possible. To highlight a shaving product, I decided to take the Horace shaving cream. A shaving cream with 99% ingredients of natural origin, it is for this reason in particular that I include it in this ranking. And it is particularly effective with a razor blade.

Night of the Queens of Sanoflore

A care that is very little integrated into the beauty routine of men, the night care. And yet, at night the skin tends to work a lot, it is during the night that the production of sebum is the strongest. It is important to include a product at night, especially if you wash your face before going to bed. Nuit des Reines by Sanoflore is a dry oil based on pure royal jelly and organic Argan and Camelina oils which will allow the features to rest and regenerate the skin's radiance.
