Skin care
Make Over Your Guy's Grooming Routine (on the Sly)Does the dude in your life use body wash to anchor the shower curtain? Mine does. Here's how I got my husband to actually apply a few grooming products |

Granted, it's a fancy bar of Fresh Sugar Soap -- because that's what I put in the shower -- but it's not doing much to get rid of his sun spots.
I sometimes fantasize that Brandon would help me test beauty products -- that he'd critique the latest eye cream or contemplate the nuances of a new body lotion scent. But that's probably taking it too far -- and I have plenty of girlfriends who'll happily test a $100 face cream for me.
But really, all I truly want is for Brandon to use sunscreen and wash his hair with shampoo. (Sorry, babe, soapsuds don't count -- even if they are by Fresh). Which is why I'm on a mission to revamp my husband's grooming routine.
Skip head to see how I finally got my husband to use grooming products.
I'm going into this with low expectations and realistic goals. I definitely don't expect him to adopt my seven-step evening skin care ritual. (Nor would I want him to -- if he starts using my favorite serums, we'll be in credit card debt as fast as you can say hyaluronic acid.) But there are so many new men's grooming products out there, and it's a shame for Brandon to not use at least use some of them.
Will I succeed at getting Brandon to change his bar-soap-only ways?

My fiance has no issues with products, which is handy. He also loves Kiehl's so I may just surprise him with some of that sunblock soon!

Getting my man to start moisturizing (with an SPF) was a challenge but now that it's a habit for him, it's no big thing. Now, if only I could get him to shave more regularly...

Cute article...my man is surprisingly into all those things EXCEPT using lotions or moisturizers with SPF. I'll be sure to suggest that he pick up some sun-blocking products too!

Don't know a guy who would use any of this except the Axe (I remember using it myself) though even I would stay away from the rest back before my transition. Now I can't live without a bathroom and bedroom full of stuff. Think I would be in a good position to tell him how important it is to take care of his skin ect but nope! He only tells me how nut's I am.

It's nice to see a man use the products you buy for him.
