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.

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.

Anthony Logistics For Men Oil Free Facial Lotion Ingredients List

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $$$ ($20-$30) – Available at Anthony.com, Sephora, and Amazon.
Scent: Very slight hint of citrus.
I Like: the light consistency. This lotion effectively moisturizes without leaving your skin feeling greasy.
Not a fan of: the paraben preservatives.

Anthony Logistics for Men Oil Free Facial Lotion is an ideal moisturizer for those with oily and combination skin.  This lightweight lotion hydrates your skin without leaving behind a greasy shine.  Though the lotion claims to be fragrance free, it does have a slight citrusy scent.  This moisturizer does not provide sun protection – remember to put on a sunscreen to complement it if you plan on going out during the day.  I would have given this product five stars if it didn’t contain paraben preservatives.  It’s still a reliable non-greasy men’s face moisturizer nonetheless.

Every Man Jack Fragrance Free Shave Cream Ingredients List

Overall Rating: ★★★★★
Price: $ (under $10) – Available at Target, Every Man Jack, Drugstore.com, and Walgreens.com.
Scent: Fragrance free.
I Liked: the thick consistency, which made for a smooth, comfortable shave.  The unscented cream is especially ideal for those with sensitive skin.  Paraben-free, SLS-free, and not tested on animals.
Not a fan of: nothing.  However, please note that this is a low-foaming shave cream – it does not lather up well with a shave brush.

Every Man Jack’s Fragrance Free Shave Cream is an effective, no frills shaving product with a conscience.  It’s fragrance free and doesn’t contain a lot of the unnecessary synthetic ingredients that can irritate sensitive skin.  The cream’s thick texture allows for a close, comfortable shave.  This shave cream is low-lathering, which is a good thing.  Chances are that if you’re using a cream that lathers up well, it’s probably drying up your skin.  At under ten dollars, Every Man Jack Fragrance Free is one of the best shave cream values available.

L'Occitane Verdon for Men Outdoor Moisturizer SPF30 Ingredients List

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $$$$ ($30-$40) – Available at L’Occitane, Shopstyle, and Amazon.
Scent: Fresh, floral, and slightly citrusy.
I Like: the light texture, relatively high sun protection, and convenient size.
Not a fan of: the strong floral fragrance.

L’Occitane’s Verdon for Men Outdoor Moisturizer SPF30 is a great face lotion for guys on the go.  Its compact size and pump dispenser makes it easy to apply anytime, anywhere – it’s especially convenient for travelling.  Despite the lotion’s light texture, a little goes a long way.  The 1.7 fluid ounce tube should last you 2-3 months with typical use.  I am not particularly fond of the strong the floral scent – it could use a little toning down.  If you don’t mind floral fragrances, then L’Occitane’s Verdon for Men Outdoor Moisturizer SPF30 is definitely worth trying.

100% Natural and Cool: Aubrey Organics Men’s Stock North Woods Shave Cream

Aubrey Organics Men's Stock North Woods Shave Cream Ingredients List Caulfields Counter Mens Grooming Shaving Male Skincare

Aubrey Organics Men’s Stock North Woods Shave Cream Ingredients List

Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $ (under $10) – Available at Aubrey Organics, Drugstore.com, The Vitamin Shoppe, and Whole Foods Market.
Scent: Natural blend of pine, eucalyptus, and camphor .
I Like: that the product is made with 100% natural ingredients.  The cool, tingling feeling of the cream.  Less foam means you can see where you’re shaving.
Not a fan of: how the cream can occasionally clog the razor.

What I enjoy most about using Aubrey Organics Men’s Stock North Woods Shave Cream is knowing that it is made with all-natural ingredients and therefore less likely to cause major skin irritation.  The brisk, tingling sensation of the cream may not appeal to all people, but I really enjoyed it – it wakes me up in the morning and makes shaving a bit more exhilarating.  The fragrance is distinctly masculine – a natural blend of pine, eucalyptus, and camphor.  Those seeking a lot of lather should look elsewhere – this shave cream does not generate a lot of foam, but it helps provide a slick surface for your razor to glide on.
