Clinique Laboratories- subsidiary of the Estée Lauder Companies- is a manufacturer of allergy tested, dermatologist-driven line of skincare, cosmetics, toiletries and fragrances. The luxury beauty brand is popular for its dermatology-driven base. In 1967 Vogue published an article titled “Can Great Skin Be Created?” written by Carol Phillips and Dr. Norman Orentreich, discussing the significance of a three-step skincare routine. Evelyn Lauder- daughter-in-law of Estée Lauder- read the article and tired of one-size-fits-all creams, collaborated with both Carol Phillips and Norman Orentreich to develop dermatological- driven skincare and cosmetics. In 1968 Clinique premiered as the world’s first dermatologist-driven brand. Let’s check out some of its men’s grooming best-sellers.

This action preps skin for a shave and also minimises oil build-up. No matter what the age or skin type, men must integrate exfoliation into their skincare routine. Exfoliation helps remove the top layer of dead skin that allows the rest of the skincare products to penetrate properly and make the facial skin feel young, radiant and healthier. And though exfoliation has a number of benefits, men must be careful not to over-exfoliate as this can aggravate the skin and cause further dryness. For best results, exfoliate two to three times a week.
