No man wants to use a moisturizer in a pink bottle that smells like flowers. And getting busted by your friends on the one off day that you “accidentally” throw your girlfriend’s shaving cream into your gym bag pretty much sucks. That said, there are however plenty of “gender neutral” beauty products that even the manliest of men won’t be embarrassed to borrow from his girlfriend’s bathroom. Here are a few of our favorites.

Gender Neutral Beauty
Caudalie Polyphenol C-15 Anti-Wrinkle Eye & Lip Cream
First of all, HELLO, it’s a two-for-one deal, which we love. You can protect both your lips and get rid of fine lines, dark circles and puffiness under your eyes -- especially useful after last night’s poker and cigar session.
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF 30
Moisturizing your skin is important but you know what’s even more important? Protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. This particular face moisturizer with SPF 30 is awesome because it provides broad-spectrum SPF protection, it’s lightweight and the packaging is 100% gender neutral. No embarrassment here.
Crabtree & Evelyn Black Sea Mud & Seaweed Triple Milled Soap
We’re the first to admit that the brand name “Crabtree & Evelyn” might be the girliest brand name ever. But it contains black sea mud and seaweed, which is definitely not for the dainty.
AVEENO Positively Smooth Shave Gel
This shaving gel naturally minimizes the appearance of unwanted hair and it’s formulated with natural soy and moisturizing ingredients that make it great for even the most sensitive skin (or body parts).
Philosophy Purity Made Simple
A good cleanser is more important than you would think and we love this simple version from Philosophy (see, the name makes sense). It’s won tons of awards and, best of all, you can wash face and eyes in one easy step.
