There's nothing like a new year to start something new.

For many guys, the start of 2022 will feature resolutions like exercising harder, eating more healthy or complaining less. But what if one of them was focusing more on skincare?

"Before, the guys didn't really care," makeup artist Geneva Nash Morgan told E! News. "For men in general, keeping your skin clean and exfoliating once a week is a better idea for everyone. Men don't use moisturizers and they need to use them."

And according to 2022 MUAHS Lifetime Achievement Nominee Joy Zapata, she has already seen trends that prove men's skincare is growing in popularity and demand. "In 2022, I think you will see a huge, massive blowup of men's products," the makeup artist predicted to E! News. "I see them already in the beauty supply stores and barber shops and that's where it starts."

I've used it on my clients who have breakage from bleach (vegetable ceramides help with this!) as well as those with thicker hair to style and add shine (from the lemon extract) for a camera-ready look, and the best part is that while it's doing those things, it also helps protect against future damage (powered by the chia seeds). Bonus: the price point!"
