When it comes to my grooming routine, keeping my lineup simple and effective is key. Every product from Oars + Alps, a premium grooming company founded by two wives sick of their husbands stealing their skincare products every morning, has a healthy dose of convenience and science. The men’s grooming and skincare brand has changed the game for guys—myself included—when it comes to convenient, effective, and fuss-free products.
I’m a big fan of the brand overall, but the Charcoal Solid Face Wash is my favorite. Oars + Alps’ products seamlessly incorporate multiple steps from A-to-Z into one product, and this cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating stick is no different. Why charcoal? Honestly, I was confused about why the face wash contained it too, but it turns out that charcoal naturally helps deep clean pores, keeping blackheads and breakouts at bay without overdrying.
