Beauty Editor's Picks: Great Gifts For Guys
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ―
If you have a guy on your gift list, you might not think of going to the beauty counter to pick out a great present; but Beauty Editor Lori Geiger says it's a good place to start!
Gift Ideas For The Men On Your List:
Skin care for men is more than just shaving and after shave. They need to cleanse and moisturizer their skin as well, making skin care products and fragrance excellent gifts for men.
Shaving is the most common grooming need for men; but this daily routine can cause dryness and sometimes ingrown hair.
Men are finally getting away from putting on aftershave that can dry the skin on their face after they shave. The use of a shaving balm or a regular oil-free moisturizer is much better for the skin after a shave.
Also, applying a cream at night can make the shaving process much easier the next morning. With the regular use of creams the skin will not get dry and tight and the result is a closer, safer shave.
So give the guy in your life an oil-free moisturizer and a night cream in his stocking! 2 in1 cleansers make a great gift too for daily cleansing of the skin.
Popular men's fragrances are also understanding this need; check out gift sets available at Macy's, like:
- Curve for Men Holiday Gift Set: This set includes: 4.2oz. Curve Cologne Spray, .5oz. Curve Cologne Travel Spray, 4.2oz Curve Skin Smoother,2.6oz Curve Daily Deodorant. Get a free weekender bag w/ any $50.00 or more purchase from any Curve for Men fragrance line,while supplies last.
- Rocawear Holiday Gift Set: This set includes: 1.7oz EDT Spray,2.6oz Deodorant,3.4oz Shower Gel
- UR For Men by Usher Holiday Gift Set: This set includes: 3.4fl.oz Eau de Toilette Spray, 3.4fl oz. Refresh After Shave Tonic, 2.6oz. Fresh Deodorant; Also, for a limited time only get a free $50.00 travel bag w/ any Usher fragrance purchase.
These sets are great for fragrance layering too. When you use a bit of a few products in the same fragrance it is a great way to make your fragrance last without using too much all at once!
Men are also using anti-aging products such as Elizabeth Arden's Prevage anti-aging treatment.
Eye cream is also becoming a regular step in a man's daily grooming routine such as Prevage anti-aging eye treatment which can be applied to those "crow's feet" around the outer corner of the eyes. Also, Prevage anti-aging night is night cream and treatment in one is another option.
For another stocking stuff idea, give any non-shiny lip balm!
