Tired looking skin? Or tired of looking at your skin? H20 Plus is going to kick your grooming game into overdrive by blasting you with a series of hydrating products.

The men’s line appropriately titled Oasis is surprising addictive and fresh with no overwhelming smells – and it’s going to take your skin to paradise.

Our personal favorite is the shave foam – but we’ll get to that in a bit. Let’s talk routine.

Start out with the H2O Plus Oasis Men Purifying Daily Cleanser – it dissolves dirt and blasts away pore-cloggers by using marine ingredients which restore, hydrate your skin. These marine botanicals and plant extracts will help heal shaving irritations and protect from environmental damage.

H2O Plus Oasis Men Energizing Facial Scrub

‘Exfoliate’ is a scary term which can lead to blotchy red skin. This stuff will wake you up – or at least make you look awake. It’s gentle and perfect for your pre-shave routine to remove dead-skin cells.

H2O Plus Oasis Men Precision Shave Hydro Foam

This is our favorite. This liquid to foam formula is so light that your razor will just glide. It’s unlike anything we’ve ever tried before because most foams or gel have a thickness – this is as light as it gets – and yet it works just as well. Vitamins A, B and E will help condition your face and prevent bumps and irritation.

H2O Plus Oasis Men Oil-Free Post Shave Balm

Fast acting and oil-free, this aftershave balm will instantly cool off your freshly shaved skin.

H2O Plus Oasis Men Ultimate 5-in-1 Facial Spray

Another stand out product – this facial spray just feels right. It helps sooth and relax just the like other products, but this spray will also even out your skin tone, prevent ingrown hairs and help diminish the appearance of wrinkles.

H20 Plus is also committed to helping give back to various charities – including Earth Echo, Bin Donated, and Clean the World.

So quench your thirsty skin and check out the entire H20 Plus line here.

How The Beard Club Helped Me Grow a Beard

John Jones after beard growth

I was a failure … the facial hair equivalent of a 90-pound weakling. It wasn’t so much that I couldn’t grow a beard; it was more that whatever facial hair I did grow felt like a Velcroed-on Brillo pad: super uncomfortable and leaving my skin itchy and broken out. As Movember and No-Shave November came and went, I made two separate attempts at beard growth … each ending with a sprint into the bathroom when I could stand it no more, trimmer in hand, welcoming back the clean-shaven face I know so well. It wasn’t the first time I’d given up on hirsute happiness.

When December rolled around, I decided to pay attention to an email I’d gotten for something called The Beard Club, a subscription service for beard care products. The Club’s premise was “helping first-timers as well as seasoned hirsute gentleman to up their grooming game.” I couldn’t resist and threw down the gauntlet. Could they help even me? After all, the site’s tag line is “Don’t Grow it Alone.”

The best-selling colognes for men (because some things are popular for a reason)

The way you smell is the message you send before you even open your mouth or shake a hand. When someone meets you for the first time, your style can give them a great first impression from a distance. But then your cologne will be the storyteller up close. Smelling good is one of the main points of men’s grooming. Soaps, shampoos, lotions, all fragrant and elevating your attractiveness, and ultimately, your memorability.

That is why popular men’s colognes become, well, popular. These are the scents that stand the test of time. The ones that linger on your shirt when you leave, and your girl wears it to bed. The kind that stays around in the office (subtly, not drifting throughout the office because you take a bath in it) after you have gone. And the kind that sparks memories of great dates in the past when she smells it on you before leaving the house. Of course, the best of the best sell like the best of the best. And these are the colognes that sell better than any other year in and year out.

The Manual’s Grooming Awards Are Open for Submissions

Head, Person, Face

For eight years, The Manual’s Grooming Awards have done one thing: told readers which products actually work. Not which ones arrived in the nicest box, not which brand bought the most media. Which ones survived months of daily use on our own faces, in our own showers, and were still worth reaching for at the end.

This year, we’re opening the awards to submissions.
