Stuff We Like

Stuff We Like – Personal Care 1

Dr. Bronner's Pure-Castile Liquid Soap (Peppermint, 32 ounce, 2-pack)

From Amazon

Made with organic oils. No synthetic detergents or foaming agents.

Wash your body with it. Wash your hair with it. Brush your teeth with it. (Seriously, some people do that.) I like it because it doesn't contain a laundry list of questionable chemicals and artificial scents. It's all-natty, bro.

And some studies show that the smell of peppermint can boost athletic performance and mental energy. Hey, I'll take what I can get. Note: It does make your twig and berries tingle a little. Which isn't a bad thing. – Chris Shugart

Maestro's Classic Beard Butter

From Amazon

8 ounce hydrating beard cream for itchy or unmanageable beards.

Studies show that women are more attracted to guys with beards. But being more attractive doesn't help much when those same women won't let you near their tender parts with your itchy face-bush. So soften up that scruff with Beard Butter. This non-greasy cream is made with coconut oil and other good stuff like eucalyptus, rosemary, and juniper berry. Smells nice, too. – Chris Shugart

BAKblade 2.0 ELITE PLUS

From Amazon

Wet/dry razor with curved handle designed for the back and body.

It's the dirty little secret guys don't like admitting and girls don't like seeing: back hair. Fact is, some dudes are genetically closer to orangutans than to those odd little hairless Sphynx cats, so grooming is an issue to deal with. One reason we build muscular bodies is for those muscles to be seen by people and you can't see rhomboids under a thicket of fur.

This razor has a specially curved handle over a foot long to hit all angles, and a pair of nearly 4-inch-wide replaceable blades to make trimming anywhere – yeah, pretty much anywhere – an easy feat. – Chris Colucci

Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer Firming Medium/Tan Skin Tones

From Amazon

Gradually creates natural looking color. Reduces appearance of cellulite.

Muscles are just more visible when you have a tan, but some of us don't tan easily. This formula is meant to reduce the appearance of cellulite. And while I've never paid attention to that attribute, I like it because it soaks in fast and doesn't make your skin feel slimy or wet like other tanners.

Wear a tanning mitt or surgical gloves when you apply it, otherwise your hands will get dark. And make sure your elbows, ankles, and knees are moisturized with regular lotion first. Dry skin soaks up more color. – Dani Shugart

HeadBlade Moto Starter Kit

From Amazon

Includes shaver, 8oz HeadSlick Shaving Cream, Razor Refill

Whether you're making a bold choice or just going bald anyway, shaving your dome can be tricky, especially around the ears. But HeadBlade has been making it easier since 1999. Their newest razor has a softer finger ring, dual-axis suspension, and a roller ball to keep the blade maneuverable and close to your head.

This kit comes with their HeadSlick shaving cream (paraben free, perfume free, and dye free) and razor refills. And yes, you can shave your face with it too... and anything else you want. – Chris Shugart

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Full Coverage Foundation SPF 15

From Amazon

Oil free liquid foundation formulated with Amazonian clay. Broad Spectrum SPF 15.

Once I discovered this foundation, I stopped using anything else. It stays put all day – surprisingly even during workouts and hikes – and looks pretty dang natural, which means nobody will judge you for wearing makeup during workouts and hikes.

It's great for those who have combination skin, though some say that it's a little drying, so just make sure to use moisturizer first so that it spreads evenly. – Dani Shugart

PURA D'OR Original Gold Label Anti-Thinning Shampoo, 16 Ounce

From Amazon

Achieve thicker, fuller hair. Improve hair appearance. Protects and strengthens.

Between all my workouts and my occasional side jobs as a coal miner and manure farmer, I take a lot of showers and I end up washing my hair more than any hair-care guru would recommend. I also worry about eventual hair thinning and DHT-related hair loss, so I started looking around for a better shampoo. That's when I found PURA D'OR Gold Label formula shampoo with its 9,000-plus 4 to 5 star reviews on Amazon.

This stuff has so many herbs and botanicals in it – 17 of which are DHT blockers – that it would probably make a serviceable salad dressing. It smells great, lathers up like a car wash, and costs less than a dollar a month, even if you wash your hair every day. While I doubt that it makes hair grow back, it definitely seems to help you keep what you have, in addition to thickening it up and making it more purty and manageable. – TC Luoma

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream

From Amazon

Delivers younger, revived-looking skin. Lines, wrinkles, and signs of sun damage appear reduced. Depleted skin feels strengthened and moisturized.

It makes your skin feel smooth and healthy immediately. But what I like about it the most is the packaging. You press on the surface of the container and the stuff comes out. It basically measures out a serving size for you, so you never have to touch the rest of the product – only what you'll use that day. This is more hygienic than other moisturizers where you have to dip your fingers into a whole pot. – Dani Shugart

Anastasia Beverly Hills – Brow Wiz

From Amazon

An ultra-slim, retractable pencil used to outline and fill in brows. Wax formula mimics brow hair and is ideal for all skin types. Fine tip pencil for detail and precision. Available in 10 shades.

Eyebrows are a big deal now. Everyone notices them. So I use this pencil to fill mine in a bit – yes, even before going to the gym. The stuff doesn't budge. You can either do what's trendy and draw caterpillars above your eyes, or you can go easier on it and lightly fill in what you've naturally got. Either way, this pencil is a favorite among women who use makeup. Make sure to browse all of the color choices before placing an order. – Dani Shugart
