The Grooming Artist News Roundup: January 2017

2017 is officially upon us! If you’re just heading back into work today, here’s something that’ll make the transition a little easier: a little daydreaming in the form of a guide to relaxing destinations for your spring holiday. Because although the climate may say otherwise, spring is coming fast enough.

Something else that will help you start the year on a high note? A quick primer on how to stick to those resolutions you made two days ago. By breaking your goals into actionable items, you’ll be able to tackle them more easily.

This month’s news roundup also includes dopp kit product suggestions from Men’s Journal, and GQ’s picks for the most popular grooming products of 2016. We’re proud to carry a couple of products from GQ’s “best of” list, including Grant’s Golden Brand Medium Blend Pomade and Ernest Supplies Protective Matte Moisturizer.

Plus, get some fantastic winter skincare and fragrance tips from Kristina Tsiriotakis, senior manager of learning and organizational development at L’Occitane en Provence.
