If you don’t know healthy hair starts with your scalp, it’s time to rethink your hair care routine. If you have an itchy scalp, notice your hair tends to break, or have never thought to show your scalp some love, the Act+Acre Daily Hydro Scalp Serum will take care of everything.

Sulfate, alcohol, fragrance, and silicone-free, this serum uses hyaluronic and amino acids to strengthen your scalp’s barrier and lock in moisture to stop the annoying itch. In a pinch, you could use this on your face if you run out of your normal serum.

Smooth Slate Ingrown Relief Serum

When you get those red and irritating bumps after shaving, everything is ruined and miserable. It doesn’t matter if you shave your face, head, or anywhere else; no one wants those ingrown hairs or blotchiness popping up after. Eadem has your solution with the Smooth Slate Ingrown Relief Serum.

From hyperpigmentation to slowing down new hair growth, it’s a relief Eadem came out with this serum as their first body product. It even helps with scarring from previous shaving oopsies we’ve all fallen victim to. And before you sigh about another serum to add to your skincare routine, this is actually a body stick, so it is so simple to use anywhere on your body where you shave.

Philips Norelco Compact Shaver

Philips is one of the go-to men’s grooming tool brands, so it’s no surprise the Norelco Compact Shaver is a must-have. It would be great if you travel a lot for work, are always on the go, or want something to fit in your car or desk for touch-ups after work before you go out.

For those that could never get on board with compact shavers that are always dead when you need them, one charge of this, and you are good for two months. With a wet and dry function and case it won’t fall out of, this compact shaver packs a big punch.
