As we approach warmer weather and the new spring season this year, we begin to see COVID restrictions lifting and a sense of “normal” returning to our society. Many employees are heading back to the office to resume work among their peers. People are gathering once again for dinner with friends, in-person dates, and general social events.
These activities are a welcomed change after a long period of social distancing. But I must admit, after being cooped up inside for so long, my grooming habits needed a bit of an upgrade. After all, I had to make a good first impression all over again, and I didn’t want to start by looking unkempt and disheveled.
This was when I discovered Blu Atlas Skincare, a skincare brand explicitly tailored for men. Their grooming products’ natural and minimal formulation completely transformed my grooming routine. I will tell you all about it in my Blu Atlas review and explain precisely why it’s my new go-to brand.
About Blu Atlas
Blu Atlas is a premium skincare brand that is specially designed for men, offering a generous selection of products to help me stay modern and polished. Their products provide me with real, game-changing results because they are formulated with natural, scientifically proven ingredients.
Contrary to skincare brands, Blu Atlas produces skincare products that are healthy and beneficial to the skin. The formulation is always vegan, all-natural and free of artificial fragrances and harmful additives. In the months that I used these products, I have never experienced any irritations like breakouts, razor burns, and cuts. This is a welcomed change to the previous challenges I experienced with shaving.
Along with the premium selection of products, Blu Atlas also offers premium customer service and supports all customers who need help shopping in their store. The subscription service offered by Blu Atlas is super convenient as it replenishes my products right before they run out, so my mind is free to think about other important matters. Blu Atlas genuinely provides a first-class experience for all of my grooming needs.
With all that said, let’s dive into their specific product offerings.
Volcanic Ash Cleanser
When I am getting ready for the day, the first step in my grooming routine is to cleanse my skin. This Volcanic Ash Cleanser has quickly become my favorite way to start my day because it’s refreshing and very cleansing to the skin.
The consistency of the cleanser feels like a soft scrub, and after washing it off, my face looks visibly invigorated and clean. This cleanser definitely helps me look polished for my first day back at the office. At the end of the day, I really enjoy using this cleanser as it effectively removes all excess oil, dirt, and grime. And it does a fantastic job at balancing out my skin’s complexion.
Exfoliating Scrub
Many years ago, a barber I visited recommended exfoliating the skin before shaving to achieve the closest shave. This Exfoliating Scrub from Blu Atlas is one of the first products I ordered from this brand, and it really is the catalyst that made me want to collect all of their other products.
My oily skin often has blackheads around the nose, and after using this scrub, I noticed they were finally gone for the first time. This scrub is very mild on the skin, and it smells floral, fresh, and still masculine. The exfoliant feels very gentle and cleansing and does a great job at removing dead skin, creating the perfect surface for shaving.
Shave Cream
My favorite part about the COVID stay-at-home order was that I could skip shaving more frequently. I typically dreaded shaving because I would get a cut or razor burn. This was a true struggle until I tried this Shave Cream from Blu Atlas.
This cream has a very rich lather, and it smells like coconut, one of my favorite scents. The lather is so luxuriously thick that it provides a very smooth surface for my razor to glide easily without nicking the skin.
This cream also feels very soothing. Ever since I started using this shave cream, I haven’t experienced the razor burn that I used to. It’s safe to say that my days of razor burns and cuts are gone for good!
Aftershave
Due to my oily skin, I was concerned about using the Aftershave from Blu Atlas on my face because of the shea butter, but I was pleasantly surprised that it actually suits my skin very well.
This aftershave is formulated in a way that absorbs very quickly into the skin, and I never feel greasy after applying it. The tightness that I usually get on my skin after shaving is also alleviated because this aftershave contains very hydrating ingredients like shea butter, aloe, and rose water. This aftershave pairs nicely with the shaving cream to further lessen any irritation and inflammation.
Face Moisturizer
On the days that I skip shaving for the day, I use this Face Moisturizer from Blu Atlas which has been helping me combat my dull-looking skin after being cooped up for the last two years. I don’t think I will surprise anyone by saying that I want to look young for a long time, and this moisturizer’s formulation is designed to fight those signs of aging.
After I began using this, I have been getting comments from my peers and my significant other that my skin looks brighter and more vibrant. These compliments are very exciting for everyone to hear, and this moisturizer will surely increase their frequency. And to top it all off, this moisturizer smells like fresh mangoes, with hints of the sea. I find it a delightful and invigorating scent.
Face Mask
About once a week, I use this Face Mask from Blu Atlas when I see that my skin is too rough, oily, or is generally in need of some extra love. Every time I use this mask, I feel like I have brand new skin because of its clear and refreshed appearance. My stubborn blackheads and clogged pores are cleared out, and all that excess oil is removed.
I also feel that my skin is adequately hydrated and nourished. Looking at the ingredients, the Kaolin clay, goji berries, and algae extract are responsible for these remarkable results. I definitely feel more self-assured and confident since I began seeing the improvements in my skin due to this mask.
Eye Stick
Dark circles under my eyes are my constant companions, especially after a late night. I ultimately resigned myself to this fate until I saw that Blu Atlas also carries this Eye Stick formulated with algae, vitamin C, and coffee.
I see and feel instant improvement after applying this to my under-eye area. It helps me tremendously in looking more alert and less tired. I also appreciate that this eye stick is easy to use; I just rub it on in circular motions underneath the eye, and I’m good to go.
Vitamin C Serum
I didn’t keep up with my skincare routine as often as I did before the pandemic, and it showed. I had dark spots and rough textures all over my face.
This Vitamin C Serum from Blu Atlas provided me with an intense treatment that toned and brightened my complexion. My skin has been revitalized and restored, and I now notice a substantial contrasting improvement in how I look and feel. Not enough Blu Atlas reviews give praise to this gem of a product.
Body Wash
I always use the Body Wash from Blu Atlas and absolutely love how much of a luxurious and cleansing wash it provides. This shower gave me that satisfying “clean” feeling because it feels cooling and refreshing on the skin.
This body wash is made of green tea extract, aloe, and coconut. It has a mild coconut smell with notes of fresh greens. I enjoy using this body wash in the mornings because it wakes my senses and helps me start my day on the right foot.
Shampoo
Personally, I feel off my game with dirty hair. This is why one of my grooming staples is this Shampoo from Blu Atlas. The lather of this feels very rich and creamy to the touch, penetrating my hair and adding extra hydration to my scalp.
It has a creamy and exotic smell of coconut, and it’s formulated with minimal but effective ingredients, keeping my hair thick and voluminous. This shampoo is an overall impressive product, and it is now my go-to shampoo.
Conditioner
My hair tends to be hard, unruly, and too difficult to style. Since I began using the Conditioner from Blu Atlas, I immediately felt more in control of styling my hair for a well-groomed appearance. The consistency of this shampoo is lightweight and effective for softening and smoothing out the hair.
This conditioner doesn’t make my scalp look oily and greasy as some other conditioners tend to do. Instead, they offer just the right amount of hydration for the scalp to thrive and for my hair to look its best.
Deodorant
Nothing would make me feel more insecure among my peers than poor body odor. This is why this Deodorant from Blu Atlas is a non-negotiable part of my routine. It is designed in a way that neutralizes odor and absorbs sweat. Best of all, it is free of aluminum which is toxic to the body.
With this deodorant, I feel more in control. In fact, it is so effective that I bought several of these deodorants to put in my car, gym bag, bathroom, and office desk. You never know when you need to freshen up and fight off some foul odors.
Atlantis Eau de Parfum
I was always taught that a well-groomed and polished man has to have a good appearance and scent. This cologne, Atlantis from Blu Atlas, is the cherry on the top of my grooming regimen. It has the smell of citrus and a woody aroma that gives off a very earthy, masculine vibe.
When I smell this fragrance, I think of someone with impeccable judgment and adaptability to life’s changes. With the fragrance of this cologne, I can present myself with inner confidence and sophistication.
Starter Set
When I was on a mission to upgrade my own grooming routine, the Starter Set from Blu Atlas gave me a good starting point. My grooming routine was immediately enhanced by the bare essentials: body wash, cleanser, moisturizer, and deodorant.
Quality skincare begins with quality basics, and this set has four full-sized products. This allowed me to get a complete picture of the effectiveness and improvements Blu Atlas can provide with their premium, scientifically-formulated products.
