With the summer on its way out and rains making their way in, the elements will surely take a toll on skin, scalp and everything in between, so it’ definitely prime time to man up.
Check out these grooming essentials —the must-haves of every gentleman on his way to becoming a man who matters.

4. Tangle Free!Â
Say goodbye to bad hair days with Acca Kappa’s newest Protection Brush line. The specially developed range of hairbrushes untangles strands carefully without stretching and damaging the hair structure. It also gently massages the scalp to stimulate microcirculation, encouraging better growth of the hair follicles.
5. Scent-sational
Seal the deal and have her remember the date of a lifetime by leaving the fresh lingering scent of Gendarme 20. The fragrance starts off with a whiff of lavender before settling into a soapy, clean but masculine fragrance that’s perfect for a hot day. Confidence in a bottle, Gendarme never fails to turn ordinary moments into memorable ones.
