This cream is as moisturizing as it is hair-raising, which is why it’s so often stealthily “borrowed” from Dopp kits by lady friends. Menthol and camphor provide the requisite stimulation, but the overall effect is tingly, not bracing. $16; kiehls.com 2. NICKEL SILICON VALLEY WRINKLES EQUALIZER This new wrinkle gel doubles as a mask for sleep deprivation, even the few-too-many-hours-at-the-hotel-bar variety. The cooling effect reduces eye swelling and, somehow, tiredness. Meanwhile, the silicon smooths jet lag-deepened facial lines, while silica particles bounce light in your favor (increased reflection makes skin appear taut). $68; nickel.fr 3. B. KAMINS MALE ANTI-AGING DAILY MOISTURIZER SPF 15 In this ozone-reduced era, you need not be tropics-bound to require sunscreen daily. Almost every dermatologist on the planet concurs: Wherever you go—and whenever you go there—an SPF of at least 15 is a minimum requirement. This light, oil-free version contains bonus antioxidants and skin soothers. $46; bkamins.com 4. AVEDA MEN PURE-FORMANCE EXFOLIATING SHAMPOO The haute answer to dandruff shampoo, this new, natural scalp scrub uses walnut shells and jojoba beads to sweep away dead cells. The formula’s other key players: licorice extract (soothes), tamanu oil (moisturizes), and boswellia (reduces irritation). Essential oils of spearmint and citrus make for extra-refreshing suds. $24; aveda.com 5. BILLY JEALOUSY GOLDEN GLOVES THERAPEUTIC HAND CREAM Hotel lotions are no match for the kind of cracked athletic hands you get from, say, kite-skiing Chamonix. But women’s creams can be too greasy. Billy Jealousy’s blend of monoi oil (a Tahitian softener) and calendula (a botanical extract) keeps your paws tough and hydrated for that hard multipitch climb, but supple enough for dinner out afterwards. $28; billyjealousy.com Comments (0)
