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.

The Real Shaving Company Sensitive Shaving Gel Ingredients List

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $ (under $10) – Available at The Real Shaving Company and Rite Aid Pharmacy.
Scent: masculine cologne-like fragrance.
I Like: the product’s clarity and thick consistency. Great value.
Not a fan of: the strong scent.

Are you a shaving aficionado on a tight budget? The Real Shaving Company’s Sensitive Shaving Gel is proof that you can get a quality English-made shave product for about five dollars. What I enjoy most about this shave gel is its thickness and clarity. The thickness provides a nice buffer to protect your skin while getting a close shave. The clear gel allows you to see exactly what you’re shaving – ideal for those delicate, hard to reach places near the earlobes and under nose. The aloe in the product helps to alleviate razor burn. The cologne-like scent is quite strong, but I suppose you can’t ask for too much when you’re paying five bucks.

Product Review: Burt’s Bees Natural Acne Solutions Daily Moisturizing Lotion

Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Daily Moisturizing Lotion

Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Daily Moisturizing Lotion Ingredients List

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $$ ($10-$20) – Available at Burt’s Bees, Drugstore.com, and Walmart.
Scent: Lemongrass
I Like: that it’s an all-natural acne treatment lotion. Great for use as an aftershave as well.
Not a fan of: the thick, somewhat sticky feel.

Burt’s Bees Natural Acne Solutions Daily Moisturizing Lotion is a reliable all-natural acne treatment if used daily. Its active ingredient is salicylic acid, an anti-inflammatory compound sourced from willow bark. Because this product contains salicylic acid and provides no sun protection, I suggest combining it during the day with your go-to SPF lotion to obtain the benefits of both moisturizers. Burt’s Bees Natural Acne Solutions Daily Moisturizing Lotion also works well as an aftershave due to its anti-inflammatory properties – this especially applies to those who frequently suffer from razor burn or razor bumps. One drawback is the lotion’s texture – my face felt a bit sticky and tight immediately after application. I suppose it’s one of the trade-offs of using an all-natural moisturizing acne treatment. The product has a light lemongrass scent – slightly herbal and lemony. I suggest trying this face lotion if you want to manage occasional breakouts. Its relatively low one percent salicylic acid content may not be enough to make a noticeable difference for those with highly problematic skin.

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?

Bulldog Original Shave Gel

Bulldog Natural Skincare for Men Original Shave Gel Ingredients List

Bulldog Original Shave Gel Ingredients

Overall Rating: ★★★★★
Price: $ (under $10) – Available at Bulldog, Abe’s Market, and Whole Foods Markets.
Scent: Natural masculine blend of patchouli, lime and other citrus oils.
I like: the natural ingredients and gentleness of the product.
Not a fan of: nothing. This is a fantastic shave gel without the harsh synthetic ingredients generally found in many shave gels and foams

Bulldog Natural Skincare’s Original Shave Gel does one thing incredibly well: it provides a clear, thick layer of protection between my razor and skin without the use of synthetic fragrances that can typically irritate sensitive skin. The scent is the same as other Bulldog products – a natural blend of citrus and patchouli. Considering its reasonable price of ten dollars and that it’s made in England with some awesome ingredients, this shave gel is a great value and definitely worth trying.
