His and Hers Beauty

The best co-ed products for the bride and groom-to-be

Most of the guys we know secretly steal the occasional drop, dollop or spritz from their girlfriends' beauty products. But spend $100 on an eye cream of their own? Forget it. Still, men have their vanity. So why not make a pact to fight the free radicals, wrinkles and dry skin together.

Stocking up on products you can share with your fiancé will save money and space (for those of you with apartment-storage issues). Plus, as grooming buddies you can help each other stick to a regimen. The trick to getting him on board is to choose products with simple (not girly) packaging and nothing too fragrant. And of course, the stuff needs to work. No guy is going to stand in front of the mirror slathering on a goopy mask just for the fun of it.

With that in mind, here are our picks for the ultimate co-ed, newlywed medicine cabinet.

Wash your face with The Youth As We Know It Cleanser, from Bliss. Moisturize with Crème de la Mer (you've always wanted it and can now justify the $220 price tag knowing it's an incredibly soothing after-shave treatment for him). Wash your body with Clinique Acne Solutions Cleansing Bar (especially post-work out).  Slather your skin from your shoulders to your toes with Kiehl's Crème de Corps light-weight body lotion. Style your hair with Frederic Fekkai Styling Gel. And once a week, apply La Prairie's Cellular 3-Minute Peel. We figure three minutes is about any guy's max waiting time, plus it will totally revolutionize the appearance of your complexion.
