Not all men have the same affinity for beauty products that many women do. Their skincare routines may be simpler, their taste in fragrances perhaps more one dimensional. Each to their own.
But if the guys in your life are interested in expanding their beauty horizons - and more importantly, growing their support for locally owned and made products - yet have a limited knowledge how to do so, make it your mission to share your favourites with them. They may not love them for the same reason you do, but there’s a good chance that your a-beauty go-tos are well deserving on a place in his beauty routine, too.
We’ve picked out a few of our most beloved unisex beauty buys. Gift them or guide them towards growing their daily regimen with these homegrown heroes.
