$98.00
"SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense is my go to serum," Berk tells BestProducts.com. "While my skin is on the more dry/normal side, it works really well on stubborn pigmentation spots that may appear while being exposed to the sun during the summer. It's extremely gentle on my skin and evens out any discoloration while also brightening up my skin. Even though I use this gem daily, a nod to my younger self … you. must. wear. sunscreen."
Peach & Lily Lazy Day All-In-One Moisture Pads

"Anyone who knows me knows I like to be efficient and effective," Berk says. "These pads tone and moisturize all in one, so they’re my number-one go-to for my on-to-go lifestyle. They call it the 'green juice for your face,' and I always feel so nourished after I use them."

"My skin routine needs to be fast and simple, and nothing is easier than a mist," Berk says. "A quick spray in the morning not only calms the redness on my face, but the sensitive and soothing ingredients kick-start my day to feel fresh and calm."
Karamo Brown
MANTL Face + Scalp Invisible Daily SPF 30 Broad Spectrum

$27.00
Brown is well aware of the fact that sunscreen is the basis for clearer, healthier skin. That’s why he decided to make his own to protect your face and scalp.
"It gives your skin a smooth, hydrating and matte protection unlike most moisturizers available on the market," he tells BestProducts.com. "And as a bald man, it’s important to protect your scalp from the sun."

When it comes to hydrating your skin, Brown suggests this 100% shea butter moisturizer for its nourishing effects.
"This is so great for your skin as well and brightens it immediately," he says.
MANTL Face + Scalp Cleanser

$17.00
"This cleanser gently removes dirt without drying or over-stripping due to the pH-balanced formula," Brown says. "The aloe and natural extracts help soothe and moisturize for a healthier, clean face and scalp."
Chobani Non-Fat Plain 0% Milkfat Greek Yogurt
Chobani
$7.49
The first ingredient in France’s DIY face mask: Greek yogurt. That's right, Greek yogurt isn't only for eating — it's actually known for its moisturizing, brightening, and toning effects on skin.
FGO Organic Green Tea Bags

$14.99
The second and final ingredient in France's beloved at-home face mask is — you guessed it — green tea. Green tea is known for its antioxidant properties, which works to give your complexion a clarified and anti-aging effect.
After mixing these ingredients together, France recommends leaving the mask on for 10 minutes to get all of the delicious skincare benefits of this all-natural mask.
"I do that at least once a week, I have done it for at least 12 years, and it is, in my opinion, the reason why my skin stays fresh and relatively blemish-free," he says.
T3 Featherweight Compact Folding Dryer

$99.99
The only thing that's as iconic as Tan France himself is his silver head of gorgeous hair, of course. And surprisingly, there's not major secret to his glorious mane — all he uses is his handy, go-to blow dryer.
"I learned to blow-dry my hair really young," France says. "You know when you find your way when you've hit your late teens, early 20s, and you're like, 'I need to figure out how to maintain my mane'? I figured that out real young. I knew that a blow dryer is a necessity, whereas most men don't know that."
While France notes that any hair dryer will do, we love this one from T3 for its high-quality performance with an affordable price tag.
French tucks not included.
