As a two-time Emmy winner, Super Bowl Champion Michael Strahan is a man who needs presentable, public skin. As the co-host of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” analyst for “Fox NFL Sunday,” host of ABC’s primetime “$100,000 Pyramid” game show and headliner for the Thursday Night Football’s Fox pregame show, however, there’s not a lot of time to dedicate to personal grooming.

“I use these products every day, before and after work, while traveling or after a workout,” Strahan said in a statement. “Just like my suit and athleisure lines, these Michael Strahan skin products were developed out of my personal need for a quality, hassle-free skin regimen that works.”

Strahan and long-time business partner Constance Schwartz-Morini, announced the expansion into skin care products on Sept. 8. The line represents the latest evolution of the Michael Strahan brand, focused on tailored, athleisure, denim and men’s accessories.

“How you present yourself is so important,” Strahan said. “If you look good, you feel good and to me, dressing is only part of it. Skin care and grooming are equally important.”

Five exclusive products anchor the new collection: Cleansing gel, clear shave gel, post-shave balm, hydrating moisturizer, and nourishing beard oil. The collection is designed to meet the needs of the modern man with a busy, on-the-go lifestyle.

“It shouldn’t be over-complicated or intimidating for a guy to find products that work for him,” Strahan said.

In addition to a lack of fuss, the new line promotes men’s grooming that is clean and simple yet elevated and luxurious at affordable prices.

“With the skin care category being so female-focused (and often very expensive), we saw an open lane to develop this line to give men an affordable yet effective alternative,” business development executive Koral Chen said.

The products are clean and cruelty- and paraben-free with all packaging made from post-consumer recycled plastic, sugarcane, and glass.

Michael Strahan Skin will be available at Men’s Wearhouse and other specialty stores throughout the United States and online later this year. Pricing for the skin care line will range from $12 to $15, with gift sets starting at $28. It will launch later this year in-store and online with Men’s Wearhouse.

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.
