Knight Co. Skincare Uses Nature’s Best to Fix Damaged Skin

Image used with permission by copyright holder

Bryant Knight, founder of Knight Co., wanted to find a skincare regimen to appeal to the modern and simple, yet refined and sophisticated gentlemen of the world. When he couldn’t find one, he created it.

The high quality, Los Angeles-based skincare line for men combines natural plant extracts and botanicals such as aloe vera, sunflower seed oil, and witch hazel (to name a few) for a lineup of products that are both safe and effective. The line offers only three products at the moment, but if used in tandem, the trio makes for an essential face kit that is hard to beat.

After a long camping weekend in the sun, surrounded by dirt, grass, dust, and god knows what else, I grabbed my sample of Knight Co.’s Essential Face Kit and went to work. The trio brought my skin back to life right away and the line quickly became a new grooming favorite of ours.

The American made products are crafted with no toxins, parabens, sulfates, artificial coloring, or synthetic fragrances, so they’re great for both experienced skincare users as well as those with sensitive skin. When you’re trying to take care of the skin on your face, it’s important to know what ingredients are in the product you’re using. Knight Co. skincare aims to reach those individuals who are conscious of where and how their grooming goods are created.

“Quality was very important to us in the development of Knight CO. because all of our ingredients had to meet our highest standards. The majority of skin care products out there are made up of chemicals that most people don’t understand. Your skin is your body’s largest organ, so we wanted to use safe non-toxic ingredients derived from nature,” said Knight in a press release. 

Quality comes in all shapes and sizes, but Knight Co. skincare went the minimalist route to prove science-based, simple products are more effective and have longevity. After two years of testing different formulas, oils, and scents, Knight decided to explore the science-backed skincare world by working with chemists and manufacturers in search of a formula that suited his vision of simplistic yet effective grooming.

“We want to appeal to someone who is active, well-groomed, stylish on the go individual that appreciates quality and believes less is more,” Knight stated. 

And thus KNIGHT Co. and its three-product line were born.

Next we have Knight Co.’s complete moisturizer, a super-effective dry application formula that hydrates and nourishes your skin the instant it’s applied.

The moisturizing formula is unscented, yet still gives off a clean essence. It offers a shine-free finish and contains a proprietary blend of jojoba oil, olives, and carrot seed, among other botanicals that slow the effects of aging. Then, using some of nature’s other powerful cleansing oils like organic aloe leaf juice and sunflower seed oil, this do-it-all moisturizer also provides UV protection and specifically targets dehydrated, stressed portions of the skin.

And because you only need to use a nickel-sized amount, a little of this moisturizing lotion goes a long way.

If you don’t already have an exfoliating formula, the Knight Co. skincare exfoliating face scrub is absolutely fantastic. You only need to use it 2-3 times a week, meaning it’s a quick and easy way to enhance your grooming routine and get back on the road towards regaining healthy skin and putting your best face forward.

Not only is exfoliating a great way to ensure you get a close, snag-free shave, the added ginseng, aloe vera, and lemon promotes collagen production, leaving a brighter, younger-looking complexion that you’ll be happy with seeing every day.

Using amber and walnut shell particles rather than plastic microbeads, the exfoliating scrub eliminates all the dirt, grime, and gunk hiding in your pores without irritating the skin. The formula also boasts a dash of honey, which helps your skin lock in moisture and stay hydrated, while also giving off a fresh, herbal scent.

It’s safe to say Knight Co. skincare has an attention to high-quality ingredients has paid dividends when it comes to effectiveness. And let’s face it, the first step to feeling good about ourselves and looking our best is with healthy skin. Bryant Knight and company have just made this easier for all of us.

The idea of having glowing skin — the coveted, year-round, sun-kissed, and slightly tan — is the subject of many hot tips. Yet, hair can get a bit lost in the sauce until you look in the mirror and feel like your hair is locked into an endless February.
"Dull hair is just that ... dull," said Alexia Donovan, the director of client services and operations at the Barber Surgeons Guild. "It often appears unhealthy, is difficult to style, and requires a lot of work to improve the appearance. Additionally, dull hair can be more prone to breakage and shedding."
Leave the constant shedding to the dogs. Stylists and dermatologists share tips on how to get shiny hair, from product advice to lifestyle tips that are free.

Harry Slatkin’s Dwell212 body care line promises mood-boosting skincare
New Dwell212 body care products offer innovative pricing
Dwell212 new products on black background

Harry Slatkin’s reputation in the world of fragrances is both impressive and longstanding, so it’s big news when he introduces a series of body care products that can help men improve their skincare routines. His nickname within the industry is “The Nose,” which should tell you all you need to know about his skill set.
Slatkin’s latest entry in the fragrance and skincare game is a new product line launched this month under the brand name Dwell212. The Dwell212 body care products are grouped under four different product categories: Body Lotion, Body Wash, Hand Wash and Fragrance Mist.
There are four different scents in each category, so there’s a bit to unpack here with this many individual products. The specific scents are Cucumber, Lavender, Citrus, and Petals. All four scents are designed to be used by both men and women, although the Petals scent is being marketed more for women.

The Dwell212 scents
The next level of analysis involves examining some of the specific products more closely. Citrus Body Wash, for instance, is a 16-ounce product that relies on vitamin E and shea butter to help moisturize, and to soothe and calm irritated skin.
Cucumber Body Lotion, meanwhile, is formulated to be light, invigorating, and rejuvenating. Aloe is added to enhance the benefits provided by shea butter and vitamin E.
For the Fragrance Mist category, we’ll explore the world of Lavender, which comes in 8-ounce quantities. The effective ingredients are the same, including the aforementioned aloe. This product is also touted as vegan and free of harmful skincare additives like aluminum, sulfate, phthalate, and parabens.
Lastly, let’s look at the Hand Wash category and Petals. It’s described as having a “flirty, floral bouquet,” hence the more feminine marketing approach. The effective ingredients are the same as the others, though, and some men are using the Petals products, according to the company.
One slight difference between these products and those of other skincare companies is the use of essential oils. Some manufacturers are eschewing them, but the Dwell212 website claims that they “elevate your vibe and mood throughout the day,” so mood enhancement is part of the pitch.

After almost 50 years, Yankees embrace beards — because why not, right?
Yankee players can now have beards
New York Yankees relief pitcher Mariano Rivera (42) pitches against the Colorado Rockies on June 26, 2011 at Yankee Stadium.

For nearly a half-century, the New York Yankees personal grooming policy has been a running tribute to the days when men were men, ballplayers simply played ball, and they shaved every day to meet the demands of their late owner, George Steinbrenner.
Not anymore. In a significant sign of the times—or a sign of the coming apocalypse if you’re a traditional Yankee fan of a certain age — current Yankees chairman Hal Steinbrenner rescinded the team's beard ban, which has stood the test of time since his father instituted it in 1976.

The Yankees' no-beard policy has left a trail of shaved beard hair
