You Can Look as Spritely as Ryan Seacrest with His Skincare Line, Polished

The Manual may earn a commission when you buy through links on our site.

Have you ever turned to American Idol or Live with Kelly and Ryan wondering how in the world Ryan Seacrest looks the same as he did 20 years ago? I, the author, remember watching American Idol when it first debuted in 2002 and thinking Seacrest looked weirdly similar to my father. Now, 17 years later, my dad has begun to show the hard earned years under his belt while Ryan Seacrest has somehow secured his youth.

There are reasons behind this, though, and none of them have anything to do with my dad and everything to do with Seacrest’s secrets on grooming and skincare. First, of course, Ryan Seacrest has been in the celebrity spotlight long enough to know upkeep is almost as important as performance. But, his effective grooming regimen goes far beyond having the helping hand of Hollywood.

Not only is Seacrest a proud owner and wearer of his Macy’s mensline, Distinction, he recently launched his very own skincare line, Polished, in tandem with the talents of celebrity dermatologist Dr. Lancer.

Polished is a high–quality, science-driven skincare line that was created to cater to the needs of men who want to put the work in and continue looking good even when the years pass. The line features effective and accessible products that focus on cleansing and nourishing the skin, from a daily micro-scrub and dual cleanse and shave cream to an oil-free moisturizer and an anti-aging serum.

Seacrest and Dr. Lancer have worked together for over a decade, and due to Seacrest’s anti-aging track record, the two decided it was time to share their skincare successes with people just like you.

The process is simple and is composed of the following easy to use products:

The daily micro-scrub combines a trifecta of exfoliation to get rid dry surface cells. Ivory palm powder, papaya and pineapple enzymes dissolve dirt and grime. A blend of sodium hyaluronate and red seaweed also help to hydrate and promote younger-looking skin.

The preparation scrub is followed by a dual cleanse and shave cream that both removes any leftover dirt and oil and provides a moistening cushion in between your skin and your razor blade.

While $55 is pricy, it pays to stay young. This serum also doubles as a post-shave balm to help soothe and hydrate your face after a close shave while helping to fight the signs of aging.

A natural marvel helped Coco de Mer become one of the rarest fragrances on the planet
Coco de Mer

Colognes are a dime a dozen. There are always new ones popping up, and old ones fading away (literally and metaphorically). But it is truly special when something unique hits the market. This one isn’t new, but the story remains one of the most fascinating in the industry. Tucked off the coast of East Africa on the island of Seychelles, a coconut provides one of the most unique and rarest scents you will have in your collection. It grows only there. And it is illegal to poach it. The Coco de Mer provides a citrusy and musky scent unrivaled across perfumery, and the only place you can buy the true scent is from Coco de Mer Cologne Company. Sharon Bonne, the founder, told Forbes last year:

Sometimes it’s sweet, but it has so many layers. At its base, there’s this woody, tobacco-like tone. That’s when we started thinking, ‘this would be amazing if it could be translated into an essence, the essence of the sea.’ It embodies all the fragrances you could imagine in a tropical scent, and that’s where we began. – Sharon Bonne, the founder of Coco de Mer fragrance
