3 Skincare Sets To Shop For Every Type Of Guy In Your Life

Let’s hear it for the boys.

Written by Jana Pollack

Tell us if this sounds familiar: You and your partner are winding down for the night. You arrange your go-to skincare products in a line and begin your five-step routine. He heads to bed without even washing his face. Or what about this one?: You get lunch with a guy friend and can’t focus on your burger because you’re too distracted by his overgrown lumberjack beard that’s in desperate need of some TLC.

As beauty aficionados, we tend to be acutely aware of our skin and how we can make it softer, smoother, and happier overall. We live and breathe SPF, and we’re better for it! But some folks (read: the men in our lives) don’t always get the same messages, and let’s be real — it shows. That’s where Jack Black skincare comes in.

Jack Black was founded with the somewhat unorthodox — some might say “wild” — idea that dudes need skincare, too, and they’ve built a brand that’s all about making high quality products designed with men’s needs in mind. Their skincare solutions are simple, masculine, and effective (plus paraben- and cruelty-free, and dermatologist tested). Even better? They come in easy-to-use sets that bundle the stuff your favorite guy really needs. Here are a few of our current faves.

For The Skincare Novice

If the dude you’ve got in mind has never heard of moisturizing, this set will save the day (and many more to come). With elevated versions of all the basics, it’s the complete starter package, and he’ll feel the difference in no time.

This set includes Pure Clean Daily Facial Cleanser, Double-Duty Face Moisturizer SPF 20, Intense Therapy Lip Balm, and more. Each product serves a unique purpose that’ll make an impact, while benefitting his future self (hello, SPF), and his present one (soft lips, coming right up).

For The Guy On The Go

If the man in your life is always on the road, chances are he A) needs skincare more than ever (those planes are dry) and B) has never even considered packing it.

This set, which comes ready to go in a luxe travel bag, solves both problems in one fell swoop. Not only does it include a face moisturizer and cleanser, it’s also got hair and body wash, shave product, and a fan-fave roll-up antiperspirant and deodorant. In other words, everything he needs to shower, shave, moisturize, and leave his hotel room looking and feeling like a boss. Room service is — unfortunately — sold separately.

For Your Bearded Bestie

Ahh, beards. They’re things of beauty — that require very real and consistent maintenance to keep their shine. Even if your bearded BFF gets regular trims, he’ll benefit from having products at home that he can use to give his facial locks some extra love.

This set includes a four-step grooming routine with a sulfate-free beard wash, shave product (aka pre-shave oil, shave cream, and after-shave conditioner all in one), beard oil, and a beard comb. It’s exactly what he needs to keep his facial follicles looking (and feeling) fresh.
