Argan oil for acne, skin, face, hair and more. Beta Naturals Argan Oil review.

Beta Naturals 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil

Argan oil for acne, skin, face, hair and more. Beta Naturals Argan Oil review and ingredients.

Beta Naturals 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil Ingredients

Overall Rating: ★★★★★
Price: $$ ($10-$20) – Available at Beta Naturals and Amazon.
Scent: None.
I like: how well this product moisturizes without leaving your skin greasy. It is all-natural and absorbs easily into the skin.
Not a fan of: nothing.  This is a phenomenal versatile moisturizer that works particularly well for those with dry skin.

Argan oil might be the single most nourishing natural skin care ingredient available on the market.  My research into this awesome extract eventually led me to launch a skin care company.  Prior to starting Beta Naturals,  I couldn’t find a lot of information relating to men on the use of argan oil.  If you’re a guy and this is the first time you’re hearing about argan oil, then it is my absolute pleasure to educate you on its benefits.  I love how versatile Beta Naturals Pure Argan Oil is.  I use it in the morning as a naturally soothing aftershave and before bed as a nighttime moisturizer for the face and eye area.  The high vitamin e content in this product helps the skin recover quickly from shaving.  Essential fatty acids make Beta Naturals Argan Oil an ideal anti-aging product as well.  Don’t let the word “oil” fool you into thinking it is thick and greasy – on the contrary, the consistency of the product is very light and absorbs easily into the skin.  Any initial shine dissipates quickly.  It does not clog pores and works well at regulating oil production – my skin does not overcompensate and produce excess oil whenever I use the product.  Beta Naturals Pure Argan Oil has no scent, nutty or otherwise, and won’t interfere with any fragrances you might be wearing.  The one ounce bottle may seem small, but it packs a punch – a little goes a very long way in moisturizing – I usually just rub 1-2 drops between the fingertips and apply.  Now that I have opened your eyes to the wonderful world of Beta Naturals 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil, are adventurous enough to try it?

Hugo Naturals All Over Face & Body Lotion - Energizing Grapefruit Ingredients List

Overall Rating: ★★★★★
Price: $ (under $10) – Available at Hugo Naturals, Drugstore.com, and Amazon.
Scent: Honeysuckle and grapefruit – similar to bubblegum.
I like: how natural and versatile (for face and body)  the lotion is.
Not a fan of: nothing.  This is a great all-around moisturizer.  I look forward to trying some of Hugo’s other products.

Hugo Naturals is a natural skin care brand known for its great smelling products.  Their Energizing Grapefruit All Over Face & Body Lotion is ideal for those who want to keep an uncluttered vanity counter.  I feel comfortable using this product on my face as well as my body because of how natural it is – they keep the synthetic “filler” ingredients to a minimum.  Upon opening the bottle, you will notice a sweet, almost bubblegum-like aroma – I attribute the sweetness to a blend of grapefruit and honeysuckle extracts.  This lotion contains a number of ingredients that benefit the skin including willow bark, shea butter, olive oil, aloe, and chamomile.  If you’re looking for a versatile moisturizer to use on the face and body and don’t mind the sweet smell of honeysuckle, I suggest trying Hugo Naturals Energizing Grapefruit All Over Face & Body Lotion.

The Organic Bath Co. Mountain Sage Face & Body Moisturizer for Men Ingredients List

Overall Rating: ★★★★★
Price: $ (under $10) – Available at The Vitamin Shoppe and Amazon.
Scent: Fresh blend of lemon, eucalyptus, and sage.
I like: how natural the product is.  This versatile lotion absorbs easily into the skin.
Not a fan of: nothing really.  The scent is a bit too lemony for my taste.  However, the smell quickly fades away.

Prior to a recent chance visit to my local Vitamin Shoppe, I had never heard of The Organic Bath Company’s Mountain Sage Face & Body Moisturizer for Men.  The product’s packaging is nothing to write home about.  Let’s be honest – it’s pretty ugly.  What convinced me to purchase this moisturizer was what the product didn’t have: sulfates, parabens, artificial scents, petroleum by-products, and a high price tag.  Nowhere else could I find such a large-sized (14.2 fluid ounces) natural face and body moisturizer for men for under eight dollars.  I like the lotion’s versatility – it really is effective at moisturizing both the face and body.  The lotion’s jojoba oil content nourishes without making your skin feel greasy.  The lemon scent may take some getting used to, but it’s a small price to pay for using such a natural, effective moisturizer.

Overall Rating: ★★★☆☆

Price: $ ($10) – Available at C.O. Bigelow.
Scent: Potent blend of spice, red currant, fig, and sandalwood.
I Like: the versatility of the product – made for hair and body.  
Not a fan of: the strong fragrance, sulfate ingredients, and paraben preservatives.

The C.O. Bigelow Barber Elixir Red No. 1608 Hair & Body Wash is ideal for use post-workout or pre-dinner date.  Its strong scent ensures any trace of body odor is, at the very least, masked.  Trust me, you won’t need to apply cologne after using this cleanser.  Don’t use this product on your face – the potent fragrance and sulfate ingredients could potentially over-dry the skin and cause breakouts.  Those who enjoy strongly scented masculine products may want to give this hair and body wash a try.

Product Review: Kiehl’s Cross-Terrain All-In-One Refueling Wash

Kiehls Cross-Terrain All-In-One Refueling Wash Product Review Caulfields Counter Body Face Shampoo Men Male Skincare Mens Grooming

Kiehl’s Cross-Terrain All-In-One Refueling Wash

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $$ ($10-$20) – Available at Kiehl’s, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale’s.
Scent: Somewhat woodsy with a hint of pear.  Menthol provides a tingling sensation.
I liked: how refreshing it felt in the shower.  This all-one-cleanser is free of parabens and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.  Guys will find this product convenient – it really is gentle enough to use all over your body.
I didn’t like: the scent at first.  The fragrance was quite strong when I smelled it out of the tube.  However, I grew to like the scent after a couple of uses.

Here it is, guys.  An all-in-one cleanser I can finally advocate using.  Unlike a number of other all-in-one washes for the body, face, and hair, Kiehl’s Cross-Terrain ‘All-in-One’ Refueling Wash effectively cleans you from head to toe and wakes up the senses with a crisp, clean scent – all without the use of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and parabens.  The scent was a bit strong at first (note: I sniffed it directly from the tube).  However, when I used it in the shower, the fragrance was more balanced and pleasant.  Menthol and citrus oils help energize while aloe vera and vitamin E help soothe and keep the skin from over-drying.  If you need an all-in-one wash for the gym, consider this gentle yet effective option.
