We Canadians have been lucky enough for summer to come early this year! It seems that in Canada, one season can jump right into the next without hesitation or warning. This is why it is important for us ladies and gents' to be prepared to leap head first into such changes. I realize I post a lot about cosmetic launches and colour products; while this can be enjoyed by both men and women, I decided that I would create a post focused specifically on skin care for men.
Now, some men are interested and willing to learn about the benefits of taking care of their skin, while others need a slight push by us ladies. A good thing to know is that men are simple; they don't want a complicated routine. If you could find a way to incorporate just a couple of products to be used on a daily basis, girl... you are winning!
Below you will find 3 products that are the bare essentials to be used this summer. Let's start with something that most men already use: cologne.
Calvin Klein One Summer 2015
Each year, CK comes out with a limited edition fragrance that can be used by both men and women. Yes, you read it correct! This fragrance is unisex. Although I always tend to think that they smell like more of a cologne than a perfume, what better a gift to give your significant other than one you secretly can steal a spray of when he's not looking. One Summer is a refreshing, sun-drenched citrus fragrance that leaves you feeling invigorated and carefree. The limited-edition scent reflects the ultimate relaxed summer moment: basking in the sun sipping a cool gin and tonic surrounded by endless blue sky, white sand, and azure water.
Notes: Gin and Tonic with a Lemon Lime Twist, Juniper Berry, Star Anise, Sexy Musk, Amberwood.

Now, getting him to wear a new cologne? No problem! When it comes to the skin, there are only two products that he really needs to be using. Observe:
Clarins Men, 2 in 1 Exfoliating Cleanser
Us ladies see a two in one product and think that it is better to be using two separate products for two separate purposes. In some cases, this is true. However a product such as this is perfect for men because like I said before, the fewer the products the better; when it comes to the modern, simple man. This soap-free cleansing gel helps reduce the drying effects hard water can have on the skin. As we know, in the summertime there is nothing better than spending a day in and out of the water at the beach. This cleanser respects the skin and helps get rid of everything that can make it look dull such as impurities and traces of pollution. It is very refreshing and stimulating. Made for normal to combination skin, this wash will also help with oil-control.
Noteworthy Ingredients:
Soapwort root extract and gentle cleansing base: remove impurities without drying out the skin or making it feel tight. Zinc gluconate: limits excess oil and purifies skin. Salicylic acid microspheres and natural lava powder: exfoliate and smooth skin, deep clean pores, and remove impurities. Bison grass extract: boosts skin tone.

Biotherm Homme Aqua Power Moisturizer
While they may not know it, every man needs a moisturizer. I chose to feature one that will work well for this season. Made for combination skin, this cream-gel quenches, tones and leaves skin feeling soft and supple all day. As soon as it is applied, skin feels quenched, revitalised and ultra-fresh. The skin is nourished, moisturised and soothed. Moisture is restored to thirsting skin; equivalent of 5,000 liters of Thermal Spa Water. What I find that men love about this moisturizer is that it is incredibly lightweight; therefore they do not feel as if they are applying something heavy or greasy. This moisturizer will leave skin feeling soft, comfortable and exceptionally fresh.
