One of the biggest complaints about bar soap is that they can make your skin feel too dry; not this one. It contains sunflower oil and glycerin to keep your skin hydrated and smooth all over. Plus, the citrus and musk fragrance is one of our favorite men’s scented soaps.

ConsNot for all skin types

For guys with oily skin or who sweat a lot, the charcoal in this soap helps soak up excess oil, purges dead skin cells and leaves you feeling fresh without that telltale tight feeling. Also, it delivers a woodsy outdoor scent and contains shea butter, so it’s gentle on even dry skin.

Hawthorne Exfoliating Bar Soap

Exfoliating bar soaps have a little grit in them to effectively wash away dead skin cells, sweat and grime. This will bring forth your skin’s natural radiance and have it feeling smooth as butter. In this case, Hawthorne employs oat, wheat and nourishing oils to do the trick, while bearing a subtle scent that’s not too overpowering.
