Every morning, I wipe it about five times under each arm, and it leaves me feeling fresh and healthy without that sticky feeling. I also love that unlike many deodorants on the market, this product will not stain my shirts. Sure, it’s a little more expensive than a regular wand, but don’t you have fiery armpits? Absolutely priceless.
Ursa Major Stellar Shaving Cream
When I found out that Malin + Goetz had discontinued their vitamin E shaving cream, I had a beauty crisis. I mean, what’s a guy supposed to do when his shaving cream disappears into the ether? Enter Vermont-based Ursa Major, which answered the call with its exceptional shaving cream. And let me tell you, it lives up to the hype.
I’ve dealt with my fair share of nicks, razor burn, and irritation, but this cream was a game-changer, soothing all those pesky skin issues. Packed with natural ingredients like oats, aloe vera, shea and sunflower, it’s a hydration boost for your face while you shave. The best part? It’s non-foamy, which is exactly what you want. Why? Well, firstly, it prevents that dreaded dryness, and secondly, it reduces the friction between the razor and your skin, giving you a smoother shave.
The lightly scented blend of ginger, grapefruit, vetiver, and bergamot is refreshing, but fear not—there are no synthetic fragrances, sulfates, or parabens lurking here. After shaving, I love the cool, clean feeling it leaves behind. My face feels fresh, and — wait for it — no razor burn in sight.
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Oil Mist
With the cold weather upon us, it’s time to give a little TLC to those overlooked moisturizing areas, as elbows and heels are high on that list. Lately, I’ve been using this body oil mist, morning and night, and I have to say it’s making a difference. My elbows became noticeably softer, and the back of my heels—which would normally be as dry as a desert—became smooth and crack-free.
What’s in this magical mist, you ask? A blend of heavy moisturizers: soybean oil, which acts as an anti-inflammatory to soothe irritated skin; Oat oil, which helps repair the skin’s moisture barrier; And Vitamin E and Jojoba for extra hydration boost. I just spray it directly where I need it and massage it in until it disappears like Houdini’s action for dry skin.
Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion
I’ve tested more eczema-friendly moisturizers than I’d like to admit, and it’s all something I’m looking for The one. I started my journey with Cetaphil’s Gentle Cleanser a few years ago at my wife’s recommendation and quickly added moisturizer to the mix. Now, it’s my go-to for three solid reasons: it’s always available (a must in the world of moisturizers); I love that dewy, protected feeling on my skin. It’s travel-friendly, allowing me to take my entire routine on the road.
