The shift to all things organic continues with Australian skincare line, Grown Alchemist. This unisex line offers innovative, chemical-free skincare products worth adding to your everyday routine. There are some great problem-solvers in the mix. Look to them for natural solutions to some of your nagging grooming issues. Concerned about redness? How about enlarged pores? They have chemical-free concoctions for both. Using organic ingredients and natural botanicals Grown Alchemist will nurture you from the outside in. And what’s left out of these potions is just as important. They feel “many chemical-based products brimming with synthetic active ingredients and preservatives, could in fact be contributing to the aging products.” That’s something to think about. Let Grown Alchemist improve  your skin without harsh chemicals.

Using a fresh razor blade, shaving in the direction of your hair growth and softening your scruff before shaving will help you avoid razor burn. Shaving Gel: Sandalwood & Sage offers a soothing shave for all beard types. This formulation lifts the hair follicle and provides a smooth glide. Sandalwood and Coriander Seed Oil calms rashes and inflammation while Sage and Willowbank balances oil and reduces the size of your pores. You’ll feel smooth and protected.

If you have combination oily and dry skin try following up your shave with Matte Balancing Moisturizer Acai Berry Borago.  Hydrate without looking like an oil slick with this daily moisturizer. It’s packed with antioxidants that protect skin from premature aging, it balances the skins PH level and reduces acne. It gets your complexion clear and smooth while repairing the appearance of sun damaged skin.

Nothing shows your age or reveals fatigue like dark circles and under-eye baggage. To get rid of puffiness apply Age-Repair Eye Cream: Tetra-Peptide & Centella around the eye area with your fingertips until it absorbs into the skin. This cream has Centella and soy along with essential fatty acids and Vitamins A, E and D will have you looking refreshed in no time.Who needs sleep anyway?

The Manual Grooming Awards 2022: The Absolute Best Grooming Products for Men
The Manual Grooming Awards

Anyone who thinks skincare is light work hasn't been inside The Manual when approaching our fourth annual Grooming Awards. For the 2022 edition, we tapped four of our most experienced writers and six grooming influencers. For more than six months, they squeezed, daubed, and scrubbed their way through a cornucopia of more than 700 products. Any wobble in quality or mediocr e results when tested? Into the rubbish bin of editorial excess. With picks in hand, these grooming experts entered into a March Madness-like playoff bracket, wheedling their picks against others in a no-holds-barred, winner-take-all struggle for inclusion. But in the end, just 18 products survived, rounding out this year's list of what editors and contributors feel are the best-of-the-best skincare, hair care, and body care products that got us through a long, hard year.

All of our Grooming Award-winning products are effective, of course, but they also share a certain economy (because if 13 months of coronavirus lockdown taught us anything, it's that money sure doesn't grow inside the house). They're also relatively accessible through Nordstrom and elsewhere, and none of them require you to charter a jet to Paris. So, if you've neglected your appearance over the last year and need a reset, or just want to see what's latest and greatest in grooming, The Manual's got you covered. With Covid-19 restrictions loosening, vaccinations rolling out, and both domestic and international travel already looking promising, it's time to get out there and shine. Our carefully selected products will help you do it brighter.
