Has Men’s Grooming Taken a Hit during Safer at Home?

This post is sponsored by Unilever but all opinions are my own.

Today, we are going to talk a bit about male grooming and self-care – and of course, I’ll be talking mostly about Jay and Josh. We are going to get really real here, so prepare yourselves!

We’ve been at home a LOT since March, as I suspect you have been as well. Jay is working from home and Josh is doing a lot of his school learning from home as his highschool is doing a hybrid schedule for now.

Here’s where we are going to get real. Because we have been staying home a lot, the grooming habits of the men in the house have taken a bit of a hit. (In some cases, they have completely disappeared.)  I have found myself issuing reminders to shower and asking if deodorant has been used.

Listen, I get that we aren’t going out much and that home is a great place to kick back and relax. But there is nothing wrong with looking and smelling our best while at home with each other, right? Just as our favorite football players have gotten back into training for the season, I’m pushing my men to get their grooming habits “back into shape” as well!!

I figured I was going to need to buy some grooming products in bulk with these two. (I’m just kidding!! I like to buy multipacks because it saves me trips to the store and it saves me money!) I headed to Sam’s Club to stock up on some of their . One of the things I am LOVING about Sam’s Club these days is how easy it is to shop without actually going in the store. I can order online and have it delivered to my doorstep or shop with the app and utilize curbside pickup. Saving money has never been so easy!

Jay and Josh have different styles, even when it comes to their grooming products. Josh is all about AXE® and loves the . I grabbed the two-pack AXE Phoenix Body Wash in a HUGE (but easy-to-dispense 28 oz.) bottle with a pump. AXE Phoenix Body Wash helps Josh feel clean, fresh and rejuvenated with its classic, masculine, fruity fragrance that features lavender, geranium, and citrus.

Jay is all about the I grabbed him a 3 pack of the Dove Men+Care Extra Fresh Body and Face Wash. Its refreshing lather contains unique MICROMOISTURE technology, which activates upon lathering. Designed specifically for men’s skin, the body wash helps to lock in the skin’s natural moisture leaving it feeling hydrated, healthy, and protected against dryness. Recommended by dermatologists,  Dove Men+Care Extra Fresh Body Wash contains invigorating menthol, and its lather rinses cleanly away resulting in fantastic feeling skin.

I also grabbed a 5 pack of Degree® Men Cool Rush Advanced Protection Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick for both of my guys to share. (Because I have to live here too!!!) It provides up to 48 hours of protection against sweat and body odor so that, if a shower does get skipped one day, it’s not as big a deal.
