David Beckham Scores Big with New Grooming Line House 99

David Beckham keeps busy. The 42-year old retired soccer — ahem, football — star is also a style icon, fashion collaborator, tattoo-sporter, record-holder, and active children’s charity supporter (not to mention the proud husband of Mrs. Victoria Beckham). And now we can add grooming mogul to his list of titles.

In January, Beckham announced the launch of his all-new grooming line in collaboration with L’Oréal Luxe: House 99, an England-based brand that will feature 21 products that will take care of your skin, body, hair, and tattoos. The products hit the shelves of Harvey Nichols across the United Kingdom on February 1, but the non-Brits had to wait — until now. House 99 is currently available online and on shelves at Ulta.

House 99 aims to blend “British barbershop culture and style with hair, skin, beard and tattoo creativity to build a home for every man’s next look,” according to a statement. “For me, grooming is not only about how you look, but how you feel. It’s about being comfortable, trying new things, and shaping your next look,” Beckham adds. And we couldn’t agree more.

All 21 products sound great, but there are a few that we’re most excited for. We’re big fans of beard oils and balms, and Beckham is bringing the masses a unique potion, Seriously Groomed Beard & Hair Balm, that promises to tame the unruly hair on your head and face.

We’re also big fans of tattoos (yes, even that regrettable one you got your freshman year of college — wear it proudly). Beckham has around 40 tattoos at last count, which is why his Bold Statement Tattoo Body Moisturizer SPF30  (pictured above) sounds promising.

While the football pitch has become a showcase of trendy haircuts in recent years, Beckham’s signature coif stands out as one of the best, even after he retired (for real this time) in 2013. House 99’s Smooth Back Shaping Pomade will help us mere mortals achieve his same look.

“I created House 99 to give people the inspiration as well as the right products to experiment and feel completely at home doing so. House 99 is here to support men, to give them the tools they need to create whatever look they are going for,” Beckham said.

You can hear Beckham himself describe the brand in more detail here:

If you are over 18 and trying to elevate your age-defying skincare routine, then consider retinol for men as one of your potential new best friends. What is retinol? Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that was stumbled upon by scientists who were working on developing the best severe acne treatment.

Today, retinol has been developed and refined into one of the best grooming products for men, one that actually helps reverse wrinkles. It also helps to smooth texture, diminish acne scarring, and lighten hyperpigmentation of the skin. In simpler terms, it’s an essential tool for preventing and reversing skin damage. In other words, the answer to the question, "is retinol good for men's skin?" is yes.
