3 REASONS TO LOVE OUR MENS ADVENT WITH MD DEAN

Posted on November 11 2025

This year I decided the MEN also deserved a spot in the advent game. But really, I wanted an edit that covered EVERY step, every eventuality – a men's kit of sorts. This is the PERFECT gift to take any man's routine from 0 to hero.

Here I outline how and when I'd use them and why… Who doesn't need a 20+ step routine?

1 - FIRST CLASS SKINCARE GAME

We all know the importance of skincare in helping us feel and look good. For us the practice of daily cleansing, moisturising, targeted serum use and masking all go a long way to achieving that desired glow. This advent covers EVERYTHING he might need whilst being high-quality, effective and easy to use.

Here is how I would use them;

Daily cleanse with ANUA Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam
Quick eye masking while shaving with BARBER PRO Super Eye Mask
Post shave with grüum väkä Post Shave Balm
De-puff with Doctors Formula Power Active Caffeine Serum
Moisturise with the non greasy Shakeup Cosmetics FACE 4WARD Moisturiser
SPF always with the clear and easy SKIN|CYCLES Sun Rx Stick SPF 50+
Protect the eyes too with Symbiosis Firming & Soothing Eye Cream SPF30

At night I’d;

Cleanse again with ANUA
I’d mask with BARBER PRO Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Sheet Mask
Use the Dr Botanicals Lemon Superfood All-In-One Rescue Butter on dryer areas
Finish with Dr Jackson’s 02 Night Cream

Need something for your gym bag? Pop the Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA Cleanser and

Gentle Exfoliating SA Moisturiser Duo for an on the go moment. Perfect.

2 - HAIR AND BODY MAXIMISED

The name of the game is simple, multitasking and effective. Here is how I’d use them:

Head to toe using the King C Gillette Beard, Face & Hair Wash
Freshen up with the Rock Face Refillable Deodorant
On stubble or beard days, use the King C Gillette Beard Softener
A pea sized amount in damp hair of the Philip Kingsley Elasti-Styler 5-in-1 Treatment
Lock in my style with a spray of Slick Gorilla Finishing Spray
Mid day freshen up with Soft & Gentle Anti-Perspirant
As needed and when my hair feels dry, the Knight & Wilson Instant Healthy Hair Hydrating Mask

3 - UP THE ANTY

And… we know men are now willing to spend a little more time on those extras to really nail their grooming game. Here is why they made the cut.
