Body wash: A shower after a gym is as necessary as breathing. Not only do you want to get rid of the odour but also relax yourself after a tiring workout. Ditch the soap and switch to body wash.

Depending on your skin type, use a moisturizer that hydrates the skin without leaving it sticky or oily. Here is your guide to selecting the right moisturiser.

Face pack and face wash: In the case of men, exfoliation is necessary once in a while. Using a good face wash daily is important and Blossom suggests a grapefruit or neem and tea tree face wash and activated bamboo charcoal face pack as it usually addresses the issue of maintaining a healthy skin for men pretty well.
