It’s 2020, and the days of poor grooming are over. (Well, they’ve been over for a while, but it’s not too late to catch up). Gents like Brad Pitt, Idris Elba, Henry Cavill, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu take grooming very seriously, and that’s why they’re never caught unfresh. It’s time to join the league.
I’ve curated a list of top grooming products you should have in your wardrobe to give you that GQ-edge.
Cologne

One of the best items a guy should have in his closet is a good cologne. Your scent is one thing people will always remember about you, especially if they’re meeting you for the first time. Also, smelling good adds some bonus points to your coolness and gives you some confidence when you walk into a room. Apply cologne on your pulse points- your inner wrists, behind your ear lobes, the base of your throats and of course, your neck.
Deodorant/Antiperspirant Spray

Trust me; a simple morning bath is not enough to keep you smelling good all day. That’s why it’s crucial to ensure you NEVER leave the house without deodorant. This is an integral part of every gentlemen’s guide. If possible, you should have deodorant in your bag or car, just in case.

Exfoliating Facial Scrub

Contrary to popular belief, skincare is not for women only. Exfoliating facial scrubs help to remove dead cells, fight acne-causing bacteria, and it also gives your face a fantastic texture and perfect glow. If you don’t have one yet, what are you waiting for?
Sunscreen

Sunscreen with the right amount of SPF will do your skin a whole lot of good. The sun isn’t best friends with your skin, so you need to stay protected and avoid sunburns and darkening.
Body Lotion
There’s no need to go out with dry, patchy, white skin bro, come on! Add a good body lotion to your daily routine, and you’ll be impressed with the results.
Moisturizer
It’s easy for your skin to get dry quickly; that’s why it’s important to keep moisturized always. A good moisturizer also includes some sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays while helping you look like a Greek god.
Lip Balm

Fun fact: Your lips need some hydration, too. It’s easy for your lips to get chapped and dry, especially during harsh weather. The last thing you need is to have people stare at your lips weirdly because of how dry they look. I’d advise that you get a medicated lip balm with in-built sunscreen.
Beard Oil
Your beard needs love, too (If you have one, that is). Beard oil helps to ensure healthy hair growth while keeping your beard soft, shiny and moisturized. With good natural-based beard oil, you’ll be stroking your beard that the irresistible guy in an action movie.
Hair Cream
It’s essential to keep your hair soft and healthy so that you can look groomed and neat, always. It also helps to prevent dandruff, lice and a dry scalp.
Shaving Kit
Stay groomed and avoid looking scruffy and unkempt with a good shaving kit comprising of razors, trimmers, brushes and a good aftershave. A good shaving kit will save you a lot of stress and salon visits.
