Men are as simple as it gets, anything more than cleansing and moisturising is already a step too much into skincare. But sometimes, seeing is believing and once your dad or brothers realise how beneficial clean products are to their skin, you’ll find them using more. In case you’re looking for surprise gifts for the boys in your life, here are some clean skincare to consider.

ORIGINS Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask

Sebum production is largely present in men as opposed to women. Thus, a charcoal mask that helps to clear up pores is easily a staple in any men’s skincare routine. This particular product is formulated with natural bamboo charcoal and white China clay, acting as magnets to pull out impurities and debris from clogged pores. Sephora

ALLIES OF SKIN Mandelic Pigmentation Corrector Night Serum

While many AHA serums are focused on chemically exfoliating the skin, it can sometimes lead to extreme dryness. This overnight serum is supercharged with antioxidants and natural oils like organic rosehip and tamanu that help improve skin tone and brightening properties. Men looking to prevent ageing skin can also rest assured that the 1% of Bakuchiol provides retinol-like benefits. Sephora

FRESH Lotus Youth Preserve Dream Face Cream

Men often dismiss the importance of a night moisturiser, but it’s during the night when the skin is more responsive to nourishment. Feed your skin with all the good things that can be found in this face cream by Fresh, formulated with super lotus and peach leaf extract. It’s also free from parabens and sulfates so your skin absorbs only natural ingredients. Sephora

SUPERGOOP! Mineral Sheerscreen SPF 30

We cannot stress this enough: wear your sunscreen! Regardless of gender, we believe sunscreens should be worn by everyone whether you’re at home or going outdoors. A clean option is Supergoop, which produces coral reef-friendly sunscreens. Though they have a wide range of editions like the glow screen and unseen sunscreen, we recommend the classic sheerscreen for all our guy friends. Sephora

BURT’S BEES Res-Q Ointment Stick

Men who suffer from regular chapped lips and dry itchy skin can turn to the Res-Q ointment stick. Made from natural beeswax, this mildly lavender fragranced product can be used on the lips or as a hand moisturiser. Additionally, it provides quick soothing relief for irritated skin, especially for anyone with eczema. Sephora
