Get your guy to groom

The battle of the sexes rages on. He likes his rough-and-tough look and can’t be bothered with creams or cleansers. You’re desperate to get him to groom. Now, you can leave out Forest Essentials’ new products for men and he’s bound to take the hint.

Stash a bottle of the Dry Oil Aftershave Spray in the bathroom. Its mandarin and aloe vera extracts soothe razor burn without any sting or extra grease. Or go for the Rehydrating Facial Tonic Mist with pomegranate and mint. It keeps his pores clean.

The neutral packaging sans girlie frills stays true to the brand’s ayurvedic roots. And a bonus: no over-the-top floral scent to turn your guy off.

Body scrubs and eye serums might require some convincing, but a bar of soap? He’ll thank you for replacing his old bar with Forest Essentials’ Indian Musk. It’s a handmade glycerine soap made from natural spring water, raw sugar and essential oils.

But he doesn’t need to know that.
