Afternoon beauty fix: Help your boyfriend avoid skin irritation (and unnecessary smells!)

Afternoon beauty fix: Body Shop Maca Root Wash Off Shave Oil

Afternoon beauty fix: Body Shop Maca Root Wash Off Shave Oil

My boyfriend’s skin gets extremely irritated after he shaves, regardless of which cream or razor he uses. How can I help a guy out?
Many men’s products are loaded with unnecessary fragrances (ocean breeze, anyone?) and fillers, which irritate pores left wide open post-shave. Help him sooth and maintain the moisture level in his skin by tossing his marshmallow-y cream and subbing in shaving oil instead. We like The Body Shop’s For Men Maca Root Wash Off Shave Oil ($10, thebodyshop.ca) because it’s made of Brazil nut and soy oils that soften stubble, pump hydrating fatty acids into dry skin, and smell significantly better than any seashore scents.
