The 7 must

Taking good care of your skin is an investment in yourself. It should be an essential part of your daily grooming routine whatever the weather, but it’s particularly important during summer when the sun threatens to transform even the most glowing complexion into tough old leather. Fortunately, putting together a healthy skin regime doesn’t have to be a hassle. As usual, it’s best to invest in high quality products that are proven to be effective if you want to get, and maintain, radiant, youthful looking skin. Both the Kiehl’s Skincare Starter Set and Youth To The People’s The Youth System Kit are good places to start, but if you really want to look your best then here are the 7 key skincare products every man should own:

Youth To The People Superfood Cleanser

£38 at Youth To The People

This gentle but powerful daily face wash is formulated with superfood antioxidants from kale, spinach and green tea to give your skin the ultimate cleanse. It works effectively to prevent build-up in pores and balance pH without drying or stripping. Think of it as a green juice cleanse for your face.

Kiehl’s Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner

£39 at Kiehl’s

This facial toner works well on both oily and normal skin and has been loved by Kiehl’s customers since the '60s. The formula contains hand-picked Calendula flower petals and Great Burdock root extract, and is designed to refresh facial skin while soothing problem areas.

Kiehl’s Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum £70 at Kiehl’s

An anti-wrinkle serum with Retinol that delivers visible youthful results in a daily microdose. It visibly reduces the look of wrinkles while also refining and firming the skin’s texture.

Youth To The People Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream

£45 at Youth To The People

This ultra-lightweight hydrator is like a much-needed drink of water. Kale, spinach and green tea extracts help fight free radicals and contain hyaluronic acid to replenish and firm the look of the skin. It’s good for all skin types and works particularly well if you’re dealing with oily build-ups.

Youth To The People Peptides + C Energy Eye Concentrate

This eye serum concentrate fights dark circles and bags with antioxidant rich and energising extracts of powerful peptides and vitamin C. It has been formulated to illuminate and brighten undereye circles and reduce puffiness. Never turn up to work bleary-eyed again!

Kiehl’s Ultra Light Daily UV Defense SPF 50 ++++ Sunscreen

This sunscreen is designed for daily use and provides all-day hydration for your skin. It absorbs quickly, and leaves a comfortable, non-greasy finish. With advanced UVA/UVB technology and pollution protection, this sunscreen can help protect you against premature signs of ageing.

YSL MYSLF Eau de Parfum

Complete your new grooming routine with MYSLF, the new (refillable) fragrance by Yves Saint Laurent. This is a bright, authentic scent which combines radiant freshness with earthy woods and patchouli, because, if your skin looks good, you'll need to smell good, too.
