5 "Beauty" Products We BOTH Can Use

By: Courtney

Sometimes a guy just needs an extra pick me up in the morning...that's when these things can get nabbed from your makeup bags.

1- Primer. There are so many different types of primers out there! And guess what? They aren't just for women. Yes, they make primers specifically marketed towards men, but you don't have to spend extra to get what you want! There are so many different primers with so many benefits. They make everything from mattifying, pore minimizing, hydrating, to acne treatment and so much more! Our current favorite: NYX Tea Tree Balance Skin Elixir.

2- Tinted Moisturizers/Tinted face gels. Guys should feel good in their own skin too! These moisturize your skin while toning down any redness or acne, which can be especially good if you have photos to be taken or a special occasion to go to. My Current Favorite: Pixi H2O Skintint.

3- Clear Nail Polish. If you have fragile nails, it can be painful to have one break. Using a strengthening top coat on your nails will protect them from wear and make them less likely to break.

4- Lip Balms. Girls want their men to have soft kissable lips, plus it's no fun to have dry, chapped lips. That can lead to them splitting and bleeding and who wants that? I'm pretty sure John uses my EOS lipbalms more than I do. But I'm not complaining! My favorite? Malin + Goetz Mojito Lip Balm

5-Face Masks. Seriously guys just try them. These can have great benefits for the skin. Most of the time these are more marketed towards girls, but it really isn't just for one gender. So pick up a few or make your own, your skin might just thank you! We like honey and oatmeal masks, as they have great healing properties!

Before you go thinking he goes out of the house everyday will all of these things on (which would be perfectly acceptable in my opinion), these tend to be things that he'll grab for every once in a while, like if his face is particularly oily, or abnormally red and irritated...except maybe my lip balms. I'm pretty sure he uses them at least once a day. But most of the time, these things are more for special occasions.

See you next time!
