Spring cleaning usually means purging all the crap (or in the spirit of earth month, donating, up-cycling and recycling it) you’ve accumulated through the year or if you are really on a bender, your life. It’s an annual practice that often proves stressful and an exercise in futility. We have an easier way to clean up without the inevitable fights that come with culling your belongings–clean yourself. That’s right. Just wash up. Easy, see? Here are some new cleansers to help you get it done on the daily.

Anthony Conditioning Beard Wash $26

This is one of those handy shampoo and conditioners in one but formulated for the hair on your face. It takes care of pesky beard problems like itchy skin and snarls and excessive crispiness with natural extracts and coconut oil.

Brickell All in One Wash $34

To the minimalist or anyone who appreciates the beauty of an uncluttered bathroom, this head-to-toe cleanser eliminates the need for 99% of what’s currently in your shower. Unless you feel the need to scoop up all three scents: masculine evergreen, refreshing spicy citrus and invigorating fresh mint.

Every Man Jack Speed Shower Wipes $6

Okay, these full body-cleansing wipes are a bit of a cheat as they require no actual washing. But sometimes you stink, don’t have time to shower and have to go out in public, and then that’s where these come in handy.

Fatboy Daily Shampoo $26

If you tend to load up on gels, pomades and/or waxes, you’ll need to give your scalp a deep cleaning every day. This shampoo is gentle enough to be used frequently while also doing a thorough job relieving your scalp of product build-up.

As we get older, we start to notice what's going on, on the top of our heads a little more. Our hair begins to thin, and our hairline begins to get scared and pull back. It’s all part of the aging process, but it's not always easy to get over or to deal with. Losing your hair sometimes feels like you are also losing a piece of yourself or a part of your identity. Thanks to modern medicine and innovative technologies, hair loss due to male pattern baldness is no longer the death sentence for your hairline that it used to be.

Earlier treatment plans, medications, topical tinctures, surgery, and over-the-counter therapies give balding shoppers hope of hanging onto their locks for as long as possible. While male pattern baldness is inevitable for some, it does not mean you have to give up without a fight. We'll help you hang on to hope — and your hairline — for as long as possible.
