Apricot Kernel Oil is an effective, all-natural way to regulate your skin’s oil production. High in essential fatty acids and vitamins A, C, and E, this light oil is ideal for oily and normal skin types. Apricot Kernel Oil also works well on mature skin, especially on the areas around the eyes and throat, because of its tightening and astringent properties. When purchasing natural beauty oils, be sure they are cold- or expeller-pressed. I also recommend buying natural beauty oils that come in amber-colored bottles. The colored bottles help protect the precious oils from light, thus maintaining the oil’s effectiveness.

I’ve heard many great things about using pomegranate seed oil to moisturize and alleviate a number of skin conditions.

Product Review: eShave After Shave Soother (Lotion) Lavender

eShave After Shave Soother Lavender
eShave After Shave Soother Lavender Ingredients List
Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $$$ ($20-$30) – Available at eShave and Amazon.
Scent: natural lavender.
I Like: the subtle scent. Effectively soothes and moisturizes skin.
Not a fan of: the paraben preservatives.
Many of us underestimate the importance of moisturizing immediately after shaving. In addition to getting rid of hair, shaving removes a fine layer of skin (troubling thought, right?). If you don’t apply an alcohol-free aftershave balm or moisturizer, your skin suffers – first with redness and irritation, and ultimately with premature aging. eShave’s Lavender After Shave Soother helps to keep skin soothed and nourished throughout the day. It’s a relatively light lotion with a relaxing lavender scent. The lotion absorbs easily into the skin and doesn’t leave a greasy shine. At $27 for a six ounce bottle, eShave’s Lavender After Shave Soother is a healthy but worthwhile investment for those looking to maintain their youthful, good looks.

Many guys don’t like to spend the time to shop for skin care. Even I sometimes get exhausted just trying to figure out what grooming products to try next. Beta Naturals All-In-One Clean Shave Oil + Moisturizer was developed to help men simplify their shaving routines. It’s basically a shaving oil and an aftershave balm/moisturizer in one convenient all-natural product. It provides a nice glide for your razor while you shave and helps your skin recover post-shave. The Clean Shave Oil + Moisturizer has a very light consistency and absorbs well into the skin. It won’t clog pores or razors. Oils of argan, jojoba, and grapeseed nourish and soothe while peppermint and rosemary refresh and cool. Lavender (sensitive skin) and Earl Grey (all skin types) options are also available. If you want to streamline your grooming routine while minimizing bumps and razor burn, try Beta Naturals All-In-One Clean Shave Oil + Moisturizer. It could change the way you shave.
Product Review: Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15

Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15
Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 Ingredients List
Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $$ ($10-$20) – Available at Walgreens, Target, and Drugstore.com.
Scent: none
I Like: how well the unscented moisturizer works on dry skin. Also provides UVA/UVB sun protection.
Not a fan of: the silicone (cyclomethicone) and plastic (polymethyl methacrylate) based ingredients.
Cetaphil’s Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 was my go-to face moisturizer for a number of years when I first got into skin care. The product is very basic, but effective for those with dry skin. It’s unscented, provides moderate sun protection, and moisturizes quite well. While this moisturizer is lightweight compared to other facial sunscreens I have used, it can leave some shine. I have combination skin and this product worked particularly well on the dry areas. While I didn’t experience breakouts using this moisturizer, I have heard of people with sensitive skin experiencing a slight stinging sensation when using it. If you’re looking for a fragrance-free face moisturizer with UVA/UVB sun protection, Cetaphil’s Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 is worth trying at least once. Who knows – maybe it will be your go-to face lotion for years to come.

Alba Botanica Natural Very Emollient Sunscreen Fragrance Free Mineral Broad Spectrum SPF 30
Alba Botanica Natural Very Emollient Sunscreen Fragrance Free Mineral Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Ingredients List
Overall Rating: ★★★★★
Price: $ (approximately $10) – Available at Alba Botanica, Vitacost, and Whole Foods Markets.
Scent: Fragrance free.
I like: that this is a mineral sunscreen. Effective in preventing sunburn. Stays on while you swim.
Not a fan of: the very thick consistency – makes it a little harder to apply. May leave a white film on the skin. Great stuff nonetheless.
Alba Botanica’s Natural Very Emollient Mineral Sunblock SPF 30 is a fantastic alternative to the chemical sunscreens that are commonly found in drug stores. Mineral and chemical sunscreens differ in one major way. Mineral sunscreens provide a physical barrier of protection (usually consisting of zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide) between the skin and the sun. They block and deflect the Sun’s harmful rays. Chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, absorb Sun rays. This relatively natural, unscented product works quite well at preventing sunburn as long as you reapply after swimming or excessive sweating. The cream’s texture is thick, making it a little harder to spread, and can leave a white film. That’s the tradeoff of using a mineral sunblock. Nourishing ingredients in this product include grapeseed oil and jojoba oil. Try Alba Botanica’s Natural Very Emollient Mineral Sunblock SPF 30 if you’re thinking about making the switch from chemical sunscreens.
