This week’s Taking It to the Streets goes a different direction: Steve Sloane, known online as Steve1der — and the proof that beauty discipline isn’t gendered.
The men’s grooming routine that holds up best is the same one the best beauty routines hold up on: skincare first, restraint everywhere else.
The skin layer
A real cleanser (not a bar of soap), a moisturizer with SPF, and a vitamin C serum. The same three products that anchor most thoughtful women’s routines.
The grooming layer
A great hairbrush, a beard oil, a hand balm.
The takeaway
The ‘men’s routine’ and the ‘women’s routine’ converge once you strip both down to what actually works.
