Skincare is just as important for men as it is for women, and men (obviously) have different needs as it pertains to shaving. The Art of Shaving is a store designed around that concept. This starter kit contains the basic essentials of proper skincare (wash, daily exfoliator, moisturizer, and blemish treatment) tailored for the shaving man's skin. The face wash is formulated with essential oils (for natural fragrance that won't irritate sensitive skin) such as jojoba and peppermint, and green tea oil to stimulate cell turnover (to combat the signs of aging). Also contains soothing aloe vera oil.
