The best beauty gifts for the men in your life this Valentine’s Day

Get him something different this time around


JANUARY 7, 2021 4:05 PM EST

While it’s hard to believe it’s already 2021, the beginning of the year means Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, which leaves us all with a few weeks to figure out what to buy for our significant others.

This Valentine’s Day, in particular, is pretty special, because the past year has caused a lot of ups and downs for most couples, trapped inside together 24/7 and putting their relationship to the test. If you’ve survived 2020 with a loved one by your side, that’s something to celebrate, and the man in your life definitely deserves a heartfelt token of your appreciation.

While a lot of Valentine’s Day stuff is geared toward women, you don’t want to leave your boyfriend, fiancé, or husband hanging. This year, help him tap into his self-care side by gifting him some seriously amazing beauty staples.

Check out a list of some ideas down below to buy your man the perfect thing this February.

Jack Black Lip Balm

Valentine’s Day is all about being kissable, so a little product can’t hurt. Jack Black has tons of skincare products geared toward men, but their lip balm is a step above the rest. Let your boo know you’re ready to lock lips by gifting him with some lip balm in one of his favorite flavors: Grapefruit, Black Tea, Mint, or Cucumber Lime.

Jaxon Lane Bro Masks

If your boyfriend is too shy to join in on your self care nights, it’s time to buy him some masks of his own. The Jaxon Lane Bro Masks are designed specifically for men, meaning they‘re infused with a higher concentration of active ingredients. They’re also bigger in size, and come in two pieces to accommodate beards.

Kiehl\'s Healthy Hands Trio

With all of us washing our hands and applying hand sanitizer every 30 minutes, dryness is hard to avoid. Kiehl’s Richly Hydrating Hand Cream comes in different scents including Grapefruit and Lavendar--or you can buy a set of three and set your man up for the next couple months.

Another option for taking your significant other’s skincare game to the next level is a gift set, like this one from Clarins. Their mens line includes products like their Active Face Wash, Super Moisture Balm, and an Anti-Fatigue Eye Serum.

Supergoop Sunscreen

There’s really not much to do these days, for those of us following the safety protocols surrounding the pandemic. Still, we can go outside and enjoy the fresh air--as long as we stay more than 6 feet away from others. With outside time and Vitamin D being so important, it’s time you get your man some sunscreen to keep his skin safe.
