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.

A cologne that conveys rugged outdoorsy-ness (even if he'd rather stay inside)
He won't be embarrassed to display L'Occitane Cade Eau de Toilette on his side of the bathroom counter. The packaging is simple and outdoorsy, while the scent itself is woodsy and spicy without screaming "I'm wearing cologne!" Top notes of bergamot overlay cedar wood and pink pepper, while base notes of cade wood and citrus will leave a fresh scent on his skin after the other scents fade out.

To battle blemishes during the day
The clean packaging of Malin + Goetz Acne Treatment Daytime Treatment mimics what it can do for your man's face: Clear it up. If he suffers from the occasional pimple (who doesn't?), you'll want to get him to add this to his arsenal, STAT. The two percent salicylic acid in it effectively zaps blemishes, but the best part? It's completely clear, so he can use it throughout the day without any telltale white-out splotches.

Pucker up
Anthony Logistics Lip Balm Mint and White Tea SPF 25 has it all: UVA/UVB protection, moisturizing shea butter and avocado oil and green tea leaf extract for protection from pesky free radicals. It's even got resveratrol to help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. But all he needs to know is that it will heal his chapped lips without making it look like he's wearing lip gloss.
