While we’ve been on our skin-care game since middle school, most of the guys in our life can’t say the same. Many of them only recently started using moisturizer and daily SPF (what?!), but that doesn’t stop them from curiously rifling through our stash of products in the bathroom. Thankfully for their complexion, they’ve developed a skin-care interest of their own. What are they actually buying? We asked the men in our office to weigh in.
