Cleansing Brush

Up until 2018, the majority of exfoliators contained tiny bits of plastic known as microbeads. Can you imagine? Why don’t you just punch a turtle in the face before getting in the shower?

A cleansing brush is a much better way of sloughing dead skin cells from your face. Not only do they have the added benefit of boosting circulation to the surface of the skin, improving its overall appearance, they’re also particularly good for guys with facial hair, allowing you to reach the skin beneath your beard and prevent painful ingrown hairs.

Detail Trimmer

In this day and age, it’s just not okay to go about your daily business with unruly tufts unfurling from your facial orifices. If you can see it, so can everyone else. So stop.

Here to help keep your mild case of hypertrichosis in check is a whole host of micro-trimmers designed specifically for trimming noses, ears and eyebrows. And as you might expect from something with the sole purpose of cutting tiny amounts of hair, there isn’t a whole lot to it – just make sure yours is of a reputable enough make not to nick.

Hairdryer

We know what you’re thinking A hairdryer? Really? Isn’t a few vigorous towel rubs enough? To which we’d respond, have you ever tried sculpting a quiff with a bath towel?

Important for shaping voluminous looks, a hairdryer isn’t so much an expressway to get the wet out, as the tool you need to sculpt your highest hairstyles. They’re worth a look if you’ve got short hair too, as they can also help to create texture and structure that can be set in place with a styling product. Just don’t fall victim to high-end hairdryers and their Ferrari motors. Look for models that combine dual speed and heat settings with ionic technology that breaks down water molecules without sapping moisture.

Electric Flosser

Despite a 2016 report claiming there is no benefit to flossing, most health experts agree that you still need to clean between your teeth if you don’t want to end up with corn kernels hanging out of your gums.
