You know that moment when you notice that not only are your skin care, shampoo, scent, etc. stocks running a little low, but that your husband/boyfriend/brother/son’s complexion, hair and aroma have all been better than ever lately? Yep, it means you’re living with a beauty product burglar.
And while this kind of internal thievery isn’t technically a crime, in those moments where you’re out of serum and you get a glimpse of the perpetrator’s smug (albeit glowy) face, you’ll definitely feel like you’re the sufferer of one.
SO… if you’re keen to stop him helping himself to your beloved beauty stash, try stocking him up on these hair, skin, fragrance and grooming gems: once he gets a load of their brilliant benefits, we have full faith that he won’t come sniffing around your stuff again.

Hunter Lab
Whether guys claim they need balm or not, let’s be real: dry lips are universal. This 100 per cent natural formula pairs shea butter with a rich blend of macadamia, avocado and jojoba seed oils to hydrate, heal and condition lips. Plus, it’s black so he won’t need to (ironically) blush while sneaking a swipe of your blush-coloured balm anymore.
Just For Men
Just For Men Our Best Beard Conditioner Ever
We’re going to go ahead and guess you don’t actually have a beard conditioner that your man steals, but he’ll still be stoked to add this skin-calming concoction to his kit. It’s packed with oatmeal, aloe, chamomile and jojoba to keep beard itch at bay and moisturise the skin beneath it.
TONI&GUY
TONI&GUY Hair Care Men Deep Clean Shampoo
If you’re noticing that your shampoo stocks are getting low (despite the fact you’ve washed your hair all of three times during quarantine), it might be time for him to get his own. He’ll be a big fan of this formula – it clarifies the scalp, cleanses the hair and helps to remove product build-up and grease (great if he’s particularly fond of pomades or gels).
Abeeco
You’re not the only one struggling to sleep right now, so if your man is reluctant to do much about it (and his restlessness is affecting your own eight hours) treat him to these sleep-cycle aiding supplements – they’re formulated with a calming combination of herbs, vitamins and minerals that help to promote positive sleep patterns and assist the body with relaxation.
Schwarzkopf
He might not be panicking about his regrowth situation quite the same way you are, but if he’s noticing more greys than usual (try not to take it as a sign that spending extra time with you is stressing him out…) this root retouching hair colour is super easy to apply and will look natural enough that nobody will be able to tell he’s had a touch-up.
REPLAY
If he’s going to be spending more time in vicinity to you, he’d better smell damn good. This spicy scent will take care of that – with top notes of cardamom and pink pepper, a heart of tea accord and geranium and a base of vetiver and patchouli, it’s masculine, seductive and totally timeless.
Urbane Mess
Urbane Mess Beard Maintenance Kit
He might be using quarantine to grow his beard out a little, but there’s a difference between some Hugh Jackman-esque scruff and a full Ned Kelly vibe. With stainless steel scissors and a double sided comb and brush combo housed in a handy storage pouch, this beard kit has everything he’ll need to keep his look towing the line between groomed and gruff.
Natio For Men
Natio For Men Oil Free Moisturiser
Everyone’s skin is stressed right now (and being a male doesn’t give you a free pass to a flawless complexion), so an oil-controlling, blemish-busting moisturiser is definitely a must. This essential oil-powered formula is designed to correct oil balance, improve elasticity and soothe skin after shaving, all while offering a hit of lightweight yet effective hydration.
Great suggestion even for post-iso gift ideas for the men in our lives.
I wouldn't mind trying the Schwartzkopf Anti-Grey Colour Gel myself.
Good ideas
Great various options!
I would love if my partner would get into grooming. He's TBH not interested.
Not a problem for me. My husband thinks that beauty products are for girls, and he has never shown any interest in them.
No partner so no problem =)
Love when men take care of themselves and are well groomed. If I ever was in the mood to have a "partner", I would give him everything to use.
My husband has more personal care products in his bathroom than me. He uses hand cream, hand scrub, moisturiser, essential oils, face scrub and sunblock. His skin does look good and people are surprised when they ask him about his age.
I always stock my son-in-laws to be up with products at Christmas time.
My brothers are really into Hunter Lab especially the sunscreen.
Same!
Hunter lab products look great
Some great products for Men will definitely look around to buy some of these great items.
Never a fan of overly gendered products, cant say I mind when my partner uses my ones. Its better than when he doesn't….
My husband has his own favourite brands and prefers to stock up on items himself.
Replay Red Dragon for men would be a great scent for my son.
The beard conditioner would be good for hubby
I've been impressed by the Hunter Lab products so that lip balm looks great – so cool for guys to have their own masculine looking packaging too (but secretly I like it's classic looks as well!!)
We are sharing a bathroom as we are doing diy but his single Dove two-in-one body/hair wash sits nicely beside my shower collection. He thinks most of it smells too much anyway!
Hubby was stuck in a rut for years just using the same product but now that I've given him some new products to try he's really into the skincare thing. Every time I have a delivery he asks 'anything for me?".
The beard maintenance kit looks like a great gift.
Thats so cute of him.
Just got my partner hooked on face masks! After knowing I do them often he decided to give them a try and is now a convert!
Haha nope my hubby won't use anything but he is lucky to have great skin. I force him to use cream, if his face is dry he will use it but that's it.
I spoke with my ex the other day and he is considering shoe polish to colour his hair! Haha!! Desperate times!!
I LOVE Hunter! Seeing the Replay fragrance makes me wish we could get Replay jeans in Australia. Sucks!
ha ha : D I can just imagine the scenario! I do admit my guy has a quite a bit of stuff floating about here. ; /
Oh wow! I will have a hard time trying to convert my guy (but he's 53 and from a generation of men you know what I mean). I think the packaging will have to look very masculine for my guy to actually let me convince him!
Also, that Replay Red Dragon sounds really nice! I also had to give mine a bottle of Head & Shoulders shampoo after I noticed white flakes all over everything, seriously when will men learn?! He thinks just because he clips his hair super short, he doesn't need to wash it as often, and uses whatever crappy shampoo is in his shower. Or shower gel. Apparently it's the same thing haha. He's lucky he has good genes and great skin for a guy over 30, but I think he's finally learnt that men need some products too
I finally got my boyfriend to stop using soap on his face lol! He came over one time, when his face broke out and was like "help what do I do?" xD I gave him my spare salicylic acid spot gel and liquid I didn't use, and he was amazed at how his skin cleared up overnight! Now he uses a scrub instead of soap, and has even been asking about moisturiser. Typical male lol! At least he uses cologne!
My ex was not really interested in his grooming but he would steal my lip balm
My husband uses moisturiser, watching him apply it is quite amusing.
That Red Dragon scent sounds nice!
I want to use this medium to thank Dr,Miracle for helping me cure fertility through his herbs.i was childless for 10 years and I have tried different doctors with surgery but they were all in vain ,a friend of mine introduce me to about herbal cure I decided to give it a try to it.i contacted him and explained my situation to him,he prepared the herbal medicine and sent it to me.he instructed me on how to use it and to my greatest surprise after using the fertility herbs for just 21 days I notice some changes in me and so I decided to visit the hospital and my doctor confirm that I was pregnant, today I am a happy mother of my own child.thank God for Everything For Sending Dr,Miracle To Me You Can Contact Him Via Email Miraclespellhome@gmail.com Or Whats-app +2348071398555
My husband pretty much just tries out all of the products I buy myself, but I don't mind sharing as it means I get to buy more new goodies to try
This isn't half bad. The range of suggestions are reasonable in their own way.
