No-frills hand soother
O'Keeffe's Company Working Hands is a classic and essential product for the men in your life who work hard, whether in an office, at the gym or on the ranch. This soothing balm contains skin-healing glycerin, which draws in moisture and keeps it there. Plus, the no-frills packaging and odorless formula will heal even the most dry, cracked hands -- without making him feel like he's dipping into your frilly, perfumed beauty products.

Give his deodorant an upgrade
Let's be real: You can tell immediately when your man walks in the door if he forgot to put on deodorant that morning (and this happens way more than it logically should). Luckily, Axe Peace Deodorant Stick has such a distinct smell that he'll never forget to include it in his A.M. routine. Not only does it harness his B.O., it has a musky wood fragrance that also manages to be fresh. We guarantee he's never used deodorant like this before.

For the brewery aficionado
There's no way any man could resist Redken's Clean Brew Extra-Cleansing Shampoo. With packaging that resembles a beer bottle and deep cleansing and conditioning ingredients like malt, brewer's yeast and orange zest, it's basically like he's washing his hair with premium malt beer -- minus the whole wasting a six-pack element.

The conditioner that will show him why the heck he needs a conditioner
If your guy still has no idea what conditioner is (no matter how many times you try to explain it to him), show him what he's missing with Aveda Men Pure-Formance Conditioner. It won't weigh his hair down or make it greasy. Instead, it restores the moisture balance and zaps oil, leaving hair clean and refreshed while also soothing scalp dryness and itchiness. The zesty scent is thanks to an invigorating blend of citrus, spearmint, vetiver and lavender.

Guy-friendly, skincare-infused sunscreen
He'll never go back to slapping body sunscreen on his face again after trying Kiehl's lightweight and silky Facial Fuel UV Guard SPF 50+. Yes, this sunscreen is that good. It has UVA and UVB protection, which help prevent sunburn and sun damage that can lead to early aging. But it's the non-sticky, non-greasy formula that will win him over. It's fragrance-free (no girly-smelling perfumes here) and contains caffeine to wake up tired skin.

Dads. Boyfriends. Brothers. Also known as the hardest people to buy gifts for. Step up your gifting game with these men's grooming products that every guy needs. Whether he's battling blackheads, breakouts, fine lines or razor burn, these grooming essentials will help the man in your life put his best face forward -- and keep his mitts off of your beloved beauty arsenal. And, since they are all under $30, "just because" is a perfectly acceptable reason to give him some face scrub. It's also a discreet way to suggest he might be under-exfoliating. Either way, we've made sure these editors' picks are the best of the best, so he won't be disappointed.
