Answers to the usual questions.
What men ask before they buy, each with the product that answers it. Cosmetic claims only: these products clean, soften and moisturize. The SPF ones carry a Drug Facts panel.
What helps fingertips that split in winter?
Cold, wet gloves, then dry heat in the truck: skin cracks along the fingertips. Rub Repair Balm into the cracks at night, every night, to keep the skin soft. Shea butter softens the thick skin and beeswax holds the moisture in. On grease days, use Work Hand Scrub first so the balm goes on clean skin.
Is there a sunscreen for work that isn't greasy and won't sting my eyes?
Daily Defense Moisturizer SPF 30 is a moisturizer with mineral zinc oxide. It sits on the skin instead of running into your eyes with sweat, and squalane keeps it from feeling greasy. Keep it out of your eyes like any sunscreen. For lips, Lip Balm SPF 15.
Will hand cream make my tools slip?
Not this one. Repair Balm is gone from the surface in about a minute, and a wrench feels the same as before. Put it on, wait a minute, pick the tool up.
Does "unscented" still smell like something?
Often, yes: "unscented" can mean a masking scent was added to cover the base. Holworth is fragrance-free, which means no perfume and no masking scent in any formula. Up close the balm smells a little like beeswax, because it has beeswax in it. Full lists are on every product page, starting with Face Wash.
What's the simplest routine that works?
Three steps, about two minutes a day: wash at night, balm where it hurts, moisturizer before heading out. The Workday Kit has all three in one box.
I don't have time for this.
Wash is 20 seconds. The balm is 30. The moisturizer is a minute. If that is still too much, start with Repair Balm and add the rest later.
What do I get a man who works outside?
The Workday Kit is the safe bet, with a Lip Balm SPF 15 or Face Wipes on the side. Gift ideas.
