Men's grooming: The essential superyacht party prep products

21 September 2018 • Written by Teo van den Broeke

It’s that time of year again. Whether you're just popping to the Monaco Yacht Show for a day or two or are taking in the full line-up of Monaco, Miami, Palm Beach and beyond, one thing you can count on is an array of fabulous parties and celebrations. This, of course, means you’ll need a little extra preparation to make it through the season unscathed so it’s time to think about your pre- and post-party grooming regime. Scroll down to see the essential kit you need this season...

First up, pre-party prep. The look you want to go for is sun-kissed and holiday healthy – toned, dewy and ready for action. After a day on the water (or out hitting the docks) you’ll want something to soothe your saline-caked hair. First, use a gentle shampoo – something like Malin + Goetz Gentle Neroli Shampoo, which contains olive oil to smooth the most tiresome of locks.

After washing apply Aveda’s After-Sun Hair Masque - your hair needs one of the best after suns as much as your skin does. This rich intensive treatment packed with coconut oil, shea butter and vitamin E is designed to restore sun-damaged hair. Leave in for five minutes, rinse out and towel dry.

A post-shower application of the collagen-boosting Zelens Z Recovery Intensive Repair Balm will nourish your skin after a day soaking up the rays as well as fighting damage from the wind or cold.

Think about your feet too, especially if you’re wearing new shoes or having been walking long distances. Ensure they’re up to par with a quick wash with Cowshed’s On the Hoof Foot Scrub - the combination of black volcanic sand and avocado oil will banish pesky dead skin and soothe in the process.

Follow with an application of Templespa's Sole Balm. The scrub’s salicylic acid gets to work on rough patches and will ensure that your feet are instantly party ready.

Finally, your scent. For something light, fresh and sensual, look no further than Tom Ford’s modern classic, Neroli Portofino. Grown up and delicious, the neroli, bergamot and rosemary-laced scent is perfect in the heat.

The post-party regime is arguably the most important. A tan hides a multitude of sins and hangovers are often less painful in the sun but early morning meetings can quickly dull senses. There are, however, some tricks that will have you shipshape in no time. First, rehydrate and recalibrate your depleted skin with a nutritious hit of hyaluronic acid, which will plump and hydrate quicker than H20. Enter Active Gold Collagen. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, collagen and vitamins, it’s a drinkable hangover shot, which instantly invigorates and tastes nice too.

Show a better face thanks to the healing properties of Lab Series Urban Blue Detox Clay Mask, which unclogs pores, removes dirt and gives skin a boost.

Take a final hit of hydration with a dab of Liz Earle’s all natural Superskin Face Serum. Containing pomegranate flower and rhubarb extracts, it will lift, firm and brighten dull skin, which you will appreciate the morning after the night before. After that you’ll be ready to start all over again.
