3. Daytime Defense
Neutrogena Men Triple Protect Face Lotion, SPF 20
Gold says guys don't do moisturizers well, but they need to take the extra step. This product moisturizes, protects skin from UVB and UVA rays, and soothes razor burn with green tea extract.
4. Lip Service
Blistex Medicated Lip Ointment
Camphor, menthol, and phenol help nix the pain of chapped lips and provide moisture.

Sure Original Solid Unscented Deodorant
There's plenty of aluminum hydroxide, the wetness fighter, in this unscented rub, which Gold recommends because scented products can cause underarm rashes.

Cetaphil RESTORADERM Skin Restoring Moisturizer
This body lotion is ultra-hydrating with shea butter and sunflower seed oil and is fragrance-free, a major plus for scent-phobic guys.
7. See Foam
CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser
This soap-free wash, with ceramide and hyaluronic acid, gets rid of dirt and oil without leaving skin feeling tight and dry.
