My duty-free bounty. 🙌🏻@clarinsusa @alphahskincare . I’m sucker for shopping on international layovers. I’ve never used @clarinsofficial products and see you guys out there raving about them so I figured I would give it a shot. . ✅ Pore Control looked compelling. I’ve tried it and it really does smooth your pores out so they aren’t so prominent. My pores are fucking huge so yeah this is a good one. . ✅ UV Plus Anti-Pollution Duo (aka Sunscreen). It’s super-thin and melts. The Biore sunscreen is still better in terms of melting and not leaving a residue in my beard if I have some stubble. But this is a close second. . ✅ Super Restorative Eye Concentrate. I mean it’s eye cream and so far so good. I ran out of eye cream and was looking for something to replace my @skinceuticals AGE eye cream and so far I’m on the fence with this one. @skinceuticals AGE products are wonderful but I’m giving this a go. . And now the Alpha H Liquid Gold. I’ve read so many positive reviews that when I saw this on the plane duty free I had to get it. I love these type of exfoliants because they are so effective in making my skin look supple and reduce the wrankles in my eye area. I’m enjoying it this far but I need to use all these products for a couple weeks to really make a call. I’ve used glycolic acid pads from M&G and they were intense and yielded great results. Hoping for the best!! . #clarins #dutyfree #skincare #regimen #menstuff #travel

What a beautiful day in Budapest, Hungary. Brief getaway with my boo and the weather is perf. 😃

Finally my bathroom renovation is complete. This has been an epic process that was fraught with delays and issues but we worked with our contractor to bring it all together. My wife and I are really happy with the result! 👏🏻🙌🏻 . We scoured the earth to get this tile and landed on some slabs of calacatta with some carrara floor tile. There’s a lot of accessories we threw into the project as well. It was such a complicated project! Thank god it’s done! . #bathroomsofinstagram #bathroom #marble #tile

Received a free sample of the @malinandgoetz M&G AHA Treatment Solution. I’m a big advocate of chemical exfoliation only because it’s worked so well for me. I have combo-oily skin. My Dr recommends daily exfoliation. I did enjoy this product and will prob buy it. 👍🏻 . ☑️ use it like a water-based serum - after cleanse and before your heavier oils or creams. ☑️ use it daily. Yes daily. I recommend it at night because of sensitivity of the ingredients to the sun which could cause unnecessary skin irritation. Honestly I’ve used AHA products for my morning routine without any problems but it’s a consideration. ☑️ always follow with SPF if wearing during the day. You should always wear SPF so this is a bit redundant. . Here’s the key ingredients straight from their site (because I’m lazy): • glycolic acid AHA smoothes and gently sloughs away dead skin cells. • lactic acid AHA exfoliates and brightens to help improve the appearance of skin texture. • niacinamide clarifies and balances skin, helping reduce excess oil and improve texture. • witch hazel helps reduce excess oil and shine. • sodium hyaluronate nourishes and hydrates. . #dailyskincare #exfoliation #serum #AHA #getsome #guystuff #ny #guyskincare

My travel buddies. This summer I’ve rediscovered @drjart Ceramidin Liquid. After my water-based serums this is perf right before my super-light @bioreus Aqua Rich UV sunscreen. A lot of other goodies in there I never leave behind: @jordansamuelskin, @deciem The Ordinary HA Moisturizer: @peterthomasrothofficial 24k Gold Hydra Gel eye pads, @colbert_md Balancing Cleanser, @cosrx Galactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence 👏🏻👍🏻🙌🏻 . What’s your fav products to travel with? . #skincareroutine #travelskincare #dailyregimen #moisturizer #cleanser #drjart #theordinaryskincare #peterthomasroth #biore

Been meaning to post about this one for a while. I got this for my daughter and started using it for my face this summer. This is not something I would recommend for daily use. This is for heavy sun exposure days like pool, beach, yard work, etc. @neutrogena . Since I have a beard, sunscreen typically gets caught in my whiskers after a couple days of not shaving. I hate using sunscreen that creates the typical white cast because of that. It’s not a good look. This stuff goes on clear and melts. I layer it on thick too. It says it’s for body too but I only use it for my face. I’m super white and can’t be bothered to smear sunscreen on my entire body. The sprays are where it’s at for me! 👍🏻 . #sunscreen #neutrogena #ny #summerregimen #summertime
