As View the Vibe’s in-house fashion and beauty addict with an XY chromosome, it only made sense that Philip start his own column devoted exclusively to grooming products for gents. Philip’s Pick features all the best items for men who believe putting in the effort to look and feel great (both inside and out) is not just for the ladies. Our boy also tests all the products himself, which is probably why he looks so great all the time… right?
As somebody who has made the (masochistic) choice to continue living in this subarctic wasteland we call Canada, I must accept that dry skin is an inevitability. Couple the harsh, endless winter weather with a voracious addiction to diuretics (coffee, tea, and whatever else I may consume in a drunken stupor) and I’m left with a face that is rougher, drier, and more irritated than Joan Rivers at a second-tier Oscars party.

Enter Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Energizing Moisture Treatment for Men. Though the name may be longer than my honours thesis, this moisturizer is amazing mostly because of its simplicity. Packed with vitamins, its non-oily consistency means it goes on smooth without feeling greasy. It feels almost minty going on, using Vitamin C and E, chestnut extract, and soy to re-invigorate fatigued, dull skin to leave your face looking fresh and super soft to the touch. You can put it on in the morning after you wash your face and re-apply throughout the day as you feel necessary (this is a great way to fight irritation from shaving too, FYI).
Because I look more awake after using Facial Fuel, I find myself jumping into bathrooms Clark Kent-style before meetings for quick applications. It also means I can take full advantage of the moisturizer’s protection against environmental stresses (read: winter, coffee, and giving people stink-face on the TTC).
Honestly, at this point I am pretty much in a common-law marriage with my Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Energizing Moisture Treatment for Men. I bring it with me everywhere because it goes on smooth, leaves my face looking awake, and protects me against the Polar Vortex. What more could a boy want?
