In case you didn’t know, today is National Grooming Day. Happening every 3rd Friday in August annually, the day seeks to promote the importance of personal grooming and self-care. It is a day to encourage individuals to care for their physical appearance, hygiene, and overall well-being.
This can include a myriad of things for each person. From getting a haircut or cutting your own hair, to washing and conditioning your tresses. While the goal is to do these things pretty regularly, National Grooming Day serves as a reminder to prioritize your grooming routine and present oneself in a polished and confident manner.
The EBONY team has rounded up 20 grooming of our favorite products. From disposable razors that won’t break you out, an SPF that will protect your melanin from harsh rays, and a YSL cologne that’ll speak for itself—and you. No matter the types of products or gadgets you use, never let anyone on “Beyoncé’s internet” make you feel like you have to break the bank to look and feel good. Many of the items we’ve rounded up for you can be found at Target, Walmart, and on Amazon.
Check out the 20 items we’ve selected for National Grooming Day below, and if you need tips or advice, hit up our style editor Victor on Instagram (@VQVaughns).
