Malin-and-Goetz.jpg

Matthew Malin, one half of grooming’s first couple, had good reason to create his own line of products for sensitive skin nine years ago: "I suffer from rosacea, eczema, seborrhea and fragrance allergies." Second only to the love he and partner Andrew show for adopted pug Mr. Greenberg (if you visit their New York City store’s Chelsea location, you’re bound to bump into him) is the TLC they show their skin and hair. Here are the products from the line you’ll find on their bathroom counter.

**The Face:

**

Malin: I wash with the Grapefruit Face Cleanser twice per day, and follow up with the Replenishing Face Serum and Vitamin E Face Moisturizer.

Goetz: I wash my face with either our Grapefruit Face Cleanser or Jojoba Face Scrub in a warm shower. About two times a week, before I go to bed, I will use our 10% Glycolic Acid Pads--that’s part of my anti-aging regimen.

**The Shave:

**

Malin: I am down to shaving two times per week and do it after the shower. I only use our Vitamin E Shaving Cream with a Gillette II blade in our sliver logo handle razor.

Goetz: While my beard is still moist, I use our Vitamin E Shave Cream with my somewhat old fashioned Gillette Excel. (Yes, I’m still a double blade guy.) I usually shave every other day.

**The Hair:

**

Malin: I wash my hair daily with our Peppermint Shampoo and style with our Intensive Hair Conditioner as a leave-in conditioner. When needed, I will smooth a dab of our best selling Sage Styling Cream over the top to keep it all in place. It is great for taming unruly hair in a natural, easy manner.

Goetz: Sometimes I just use our Intensive Hair Conditioner. It’s a good way to wash your hair and moisturize your scalp simultaneously. My hair is pretty short, so I don’t have to fuss.

**Body:

**

Malin: Our shower gels are so much more hydrating than a soap-and-wash clean. I am especially fond of the natural Bergamot Body Wash: a fresh green-lemon-like scent with a hint of pepper.

Goetz: My personal favorite is our Eucalyptus Body Wash. The natural eucalyptus scent really helps to wake me up in the morning.

Fragrance:

Malin: I love our Synthesized Lotus Root. It was made for me and is a perfect summertime scent. It is a very subtle and fresh green scent with a touch of floral and musk.

Goetz: I don’t wear cologne daily, but I do wear it on occasion. My favorite is our Petitgrain Tonic.

Extras:

The Breakfast:

Malin: A latte from Grumpy’s, fruit and yogurt.

Goetz: Grapefruit juice, coffee, toast and a soft boiled egg.

The Gym Routine:

Malin: Either go for a run on the pier or visit Crunch for some light weightlifting. I am newly trying to integrate yoga as well (and, I love it).

Goetz: I lift weights for about 10 or 15 minutes and then devote the rest of the hour to either running or cycling.
