Sure, there are some guys who brush their teeth, throw on jeans and are good to go. But more men than ever are going beyond the basics to take care of their hair and skin. We asked some local pros to tell us what every well-groomed guy should have in his product arsenal.
“All-Over Wash is perfect for the man who goes to the gym or travels, as it can be used for the face, body, and hair.”
—Judy Graham of Pink on Palmer, Larchmont
“Traditional wet shaving is a tactile experience. Instead of just going through the motions of shaving, you’re actively involved in whipping up a lather [in an apothecary mug] with a luxurious badger-hair brush and moisturizing shave soap.”
—Lisa Rice, Brand Manager; www.vanderhagen.com
“Pre-shave oil is an integral part of the shaving process. This all-natural product gives a layer of protection between the skin and the blade. It will prevent redness, rashes, and ingrown hairs.”
—Peter Palushi of Gentleman’s Barber Spa, White Plains
“The smoothing marine cream has glycolic acid that also helps with ingrown hairs and is an anti-aging component to exfoliate the skin, aiding in cellular regeneration.”
—Patricia Margro of Maison Rouge, Bronxville
