For many years male grooming consisted of shaving, a quick wash and shampoo followed by a spray of deodorant and maybe a slap of aftershave or cologne.
Our grandfathers would have probably laughed at the idea of using moisturisers, serums, and eye creams – if they even knew what these products were.
The past two decades, have, however seen the male grooming space explode. Men of all ages – from teenagers to pensioners – have realised the benefit of looking after their appearance.
Begin with some Basics
In today’s world, taking care of your skin is essential for both men and women. However, men often overlook the importance of a proper grooming routine. Neglecting skin care can lead to various issues such as dryness, irritation, premature ageing, and a lacklustre appearance. Beginning with some basics is probably the best place to start if you or the man in your life is just getting into the whole male grooming routine.

- The first thing to start with is a good face wash.
Unless you are battling with problem skin, a well-balanced face wash that removes dirt, sweat and excess oil will do the job. Most guys prefer a foaming face wash rather than a cream or lotion based one.
L’Occitane Cade Daily Exfoliating cleanser softly cleanses and purifies skin. It’s a dual action cleanser & exfoliator that will remove dirt, oil and impurities, while also sloughing off dead skin cells.
2. Follow up with L’Occitane Cade Shaving Cream & Post Shave Care
The Cade Shaving Cream has a rich, creamy formula that provides a smooth glide and protects the skin during shaving. Paired with the Cade After Shave Balm, which soothes and hydrates post-shave, you’ll feel refreshed and irritation-free.
For all-around care, The Cade Multi Grooming Balm is your go-to. Whether you’re taming your beard, moisturizing your face, or calming irritated skin, this all-in-one balm delivers. It’s the perfect multitasker for a man on the go.

3. Don’t forget to Moisturise
Keeping things simple is the key to sticking to a skin care routine, so whilst one could go for a separate moisturiser and sunscreen, a daily moisturiser with added SPF is probably the way to go.
Because men’s skin tends to be oilier than women’s skin, a light moisturiser that is easily absorbed is better.If you’re looking for a shine free finish, then try L’Occitane’s Cade Energizing Face Fluid. This moisturising fluid awakens fatigued skin. Its non-sticky texture is easily absorbed without leaving a greasy residue on the skin.
- Keep your lips in good shape
Finally, lips are often overlooked but it is worthwhile keeping your lips in good shape. No matter how good that six pack is or how impressive those biceps are, chapped and dry lips are not attractive to anyone.
Including a good lip balm is really not a bad idea. Keep it next to your bed at night and smear it on before going to sleep. This is the best way to make sure your smile is a winning one. Try L’Occitane Shea Butter Lip Balm – not your average lip balm, but it delivers above average results.
Men’s skin care should be an integral part of every man’s grooming routine. By prioritising practices like shaving, exfoliating, cleansing, moisturising, anti-ageing techniques, and incorporating toners, you can achieve healthier, more vibrant skin and hair.
