Showering is a necessity, but the daily ritual needn’t be monotonous, it can be a luxurious experience to look forward to. With 2022 fast approaching, why not take some inspiration to reimagine your shower routine. With that in mind, here are my must-have shower products for men.

Molton Brown Re-Charge Black Pepper Bath & Shower Gel 

Black Pepper is the most popular of the Molton Brown body wash line and has gained almost cult like status amongst its fans. Madagascan Black Peppercorn creates the incredibly invigorating and unmistakably masculine scent, as well as featuring coriander, vetiver, and piper nigrum seed. Better yet, the scent lingers on skin for several hours and works brilliantly with a woody or pepper fragrance. If you want to make an impact in your new routine, this is a great place to start.

The Fellowship Strengthening Shampoo 

Many of us are at varying stages of hair loss and thinning hair, so a shampoo that works to thicken, detoxify, and encourage growth is a product we should all be interested in. Strengthening Shampoo by The Fellowship features Aloe Vera to sooth the scalp, an Amino Acid blend to strengthen and encourage growth, charcoal to detoxify and coconut to smooth and nourish the hair. Also, the child in me loves the jet black colour, it somehow makes it more fun to use.

Doers of London Keep Your Head in the Game Conditioner 

Keeping your hair nourished and conditioned is the most important part of the whole showering routine for me. In fact, I recommend only conditioning your hair a few days per week. On those days, Doers of London have you covered, with an ingredient list including Argan Oil, Aloe Vera and Oat Bran Extract. Your hair will feel better and look better, not to mention the sharp black on white bottle styling will make any bathroom look a little bit cooler.

Harry’s Scalp Scrub 

Much like your face, your scalp can suffer with buildup from styling products and the grime of daily living. Harry’s Scalp Scrub is a once weekly use product that gently removes buildup, but importantly doesn’t strip your hair of its natural oils. It’s best used before your normal shampoo and conditioning routine, resulting in a deep down clean and makes a great addition to your new grooming resolution.

The Other Saint Nourishing Face Wash & Cleanser 

Nourishing Face Wash & Cleanser is a new addition to The Other Saints fantastic range, and it may well be their best. What you’ll immediately notice is that it’s a cream and feels smooth and luxurious on skin. Ingredients feature Apricot Fruit Extract that nourishes the skin, Avocado Oil that moisturises and Stearic Acid that supports the skins barrier. A good grooming regime needs a great face wash, this is your new one!

Ole Henriksen Lemonade Smoothing Scrub 

Is there anything more refreshing than a cold glass of lemonade on a summer’s day? Imagine the invigorating start to the day that a glass of lemonade in face scrub form could give you. Not only does it smell incredible, but it leaves your skin feeling glass smooth and looking incredible. Ole Henriksen have also included holy basil and chamomile to soothe your skin from the scrub. If you’re looking for a scrub that feels like a holiday, this is it!

Bulldog Original Bar Soap 

In a modern world of shower gels, the bar soap often gets forgotten about. However, if you’re looking to mix up your shower routine, looking back to a traditional product might be just the answer. Bulldog pack Aloe, Camellia Oil and Green Tea in their Original Bar Soap, with a wonderful scent that includes citrus, mint, and cedar wood. Better yet, it doesn’t leave your skin feeling dry, so how about making something old, a new addition to your regime.

Horace Watermelon Toothpaste 

We all know what a great life hack it is to brush your teeth in the shower, or is it just me? Either way, your new grooming regime needs this toothpaste. I don’t know who decided that toothpaste must taste of mint, but once you try Watermelon Toothpaste your mind will be blown. Featuring iris and lime extract to whiten your teeth and silica to lift away tartar and plaque, it cleans as well as it tastes. Be warned, you may never want to go back to mint toothpaste, but if you do, Horace offers that too.
