Thw Well Groomed Guy

 

Men have taken grooming much more seriously in recent years.  And why not look one's best? If you are a guy, isn't it time to clean up your act?Any one of these carefully picked products are worthy of your daily rituals.  If you are gifting a guy, the well groomed man will appreciate all of it. I have a favorite (Chanel Bleu). What's yours? 

Erno Laszlo Sea Mud Soap

Purifies, unclogs pores, and absorbs excess surface oil without stripping the skin. I actually have used this soap myself. It lasts forever, suds up well, and really cleanses. Charcoal and Dead Sea Mud draws out toxins. $26 - $44

Erno Laszlo

Chanel BleuFor Men

I love a good smelling man. But if one puts on too much, I always think they are trying too hard. If you are a man looking for yourself, be prepared to drive women crazy. If you are gifting a man with this scent, it's like gifting yourself. I like ordering direct from Chanel. They offer free shipping and complimentary special gift wrap
