Let’s face it, many men use their partner’s skin care. Most of the time, they do so quietly because of fragrance, texture or curiosity. The new skincare line SimySkin, makes sharing simple. Featuring solutions targeted to both genders, SimySkin makes navigating the product maze more intuitive as some of the products clearly state “Him/Her.”

Curious? Try adding these simple SimySkin items to your communal grooming stash:

Exfoliating Scrub for Her/Him – One of the 2 available scrubs that’s tough enough for him, and gentle enough for her. Men have thicker skin (literally!) and tend to have bigger pores and more oil. This deep penetrating scrub polishes skin with crushed amber and conditions and balances skin while naturally exfoliating dead skin cells, sebum, impurities and blackheads.

Gel Cleanser Anti-Aging for Her/Him – Guys are worried about wrinkles too. This water based unisex gel cleanser tackles both his and her aging concerns while cleansing skin. Enriched with 10 natural essential oils, antioxidants, B12 and vitamins this cleanser is a simple way to hydrate and restore the skin morning and night.

Deep Hydrating Mask – Most men don’t have much patience for a lengthy skincare routine, so keep it easy by applying this moisture-locking mask for an instant hydration boost. Either apply for 10 minutes and rinse off, or leave on overnight to wake up with refreshed, stronger skin. It’s quick absorbing and won’t leave residue on the sheets, so you get all the benefits of a face mask without sporting a green or chalky face.
