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.

For those #iwokeuplikethis moments
Let's be honest: We all know that his perfectly mussed bedhead took some careful styling. American Crew Fiber is a pomade-esque product that works for all hair types. It thickens, texturizes and (dare we say it) volumizes, without making hair super shiny -- the kiss of death in hair product, and just what your man needs to achieve that nonchalant 'do without looking like he spent as much time as he did in front of the mirror.
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.
