1.Lab Series cleanser
Favorite cleanser. Light grit, actually gets oil and city off. Works for men. Face feels clean, not stripped.

2.SK-II Facial Treatment Essence
An old friend. The essence oily / combo skin keeps finishing. Lost count of bottles. Helps dullness and shine. Skin just looks healthier. Fine as a wet compress too.

3.Kiehl’s Rare Earth mask
The famous white clay. Works on me. Haven’t tried a dozen others in this category — this one’s enough. 1–2 times a week.

4.Aesop Parsley Seed + refiner
Posted this a lot. Daily bottle: hydrate + antioxidant. A bit tacky at first, then dries down, still moisturizing. After this serum I usually stop.

5.Loewe aftershave balm
Aftershave that actually smells good. Like the tube. If the shave leaves you tight, this is the layer. Hydrating. Smells like a man, not a candle.

6.Violette 30
This scent. Light, not loud. There and then not. Violet, but sheer — clean wood underneath, not a florist.

7.Gatsby clay + spray
The two products that do a men’s hair day. Both matte. Right is the new unscented spray; used to use the silver can. Fine, just a bit perfumed.

8.Croxx sheet mask
Solid mask. Benny’s line — tried three, two bags in and still good. 7 sheets. Once open, fridge, finish them.

9.Travel minis
Minis that actually leave the house.
