Summer is almost here and that means heat, which, while nice when you’re hitting the beach, also comes with its own set of issues. Fortunately, these savvy summer grooming products will keep you looking sharp when the sun’s shining.
While in winter you’re working hard to ensure your face is being protected from wind and dehydration, during summer you’re presented with new dilemmas. Not only do you need to think about sun protection but you’re liable to be sweating, which means excess oil build up, you’re going to be out and enjoying those warm nights, so that means a new morning routine that gets you ready for public consumption, and of course the usual ritual of shaving with skin that might not be in tune with your morning routine. Fortunately, men have never been better catered to, with a host of specific solutions now helping gents battle the seasons.
