Men’s grooming stores and lines have exploded over the past few years, with dedicated products for your every need. It makes sense – to look good, you have to put in a little bit of effort. But if you’re like us, sometimes – whether we’re just having a lazy day, or, on the contrary, are loaded with work and other commitments – we don’t want to deal with a multi-step grooming process.
The fewer the steps and the less time involved, the better. The issue is that a lot of products that claim to do it all don’t necessarily do it all well.
So to save you time and stress, we’ve rounded up our 6 current favorite multitasking men’s products for both skin and hair. All of these products are Pomades staff approved and hold up to their claims. Plus, many of them have been around for a long time (DR Harris began in 1790!), testament to their effectiveness.
If you use a multitasking product we haven’t listed here that you’d recommend, let us know in the comments below!
Hair
DR Harris Lerinia Hair Lotion
For all that British brand DR Harris is centuries old, it does one fine job of crafting multitasking men’s grooming products for the modern (busy) man. Take DR Harris Lerinia Hair Lotion, for instance. This oil-based concoction goes on clear, adding weight and slight shine to hair while stimulating your scalp for hair growth and smoothing flyaways.
It’s basically everything you need to look effortlessly polished.

Floid the Genuine 3-in-1 Shampoo
After a late night, it’s a miracle if we can remember to brush our teeth and shower before we pass out. Make the process of getting clean easier (and do your S.O. a favor) by using a dollop of Floid Genuine 3-in-1 Shampoo.
It removes hair gunk, conditions, and you can also use it as a body wash so no need to fumble around with a bunch of bottles. So basically just squirt it all over yourself, rinse off, and you’re good.

Morgan’s Pomade The Original Hair Colorant Pomade
Let’s be honest: you don’t have to be old to have gray hair. For those of us with a few stray grays, Morgan’s Pomade The Original Hair Colorant Pomade darkens hair to blend in those grays. The medium hold pomade also adds a bit of shine for that suave finish.

Skin
Ursa Major Essential Face Tonic
Face washes aren’t just for the ladies. Keep your skin soft and hydrated with minimal effort (especially important now that temperatures are dropping) with Ursa Major Essential Face Tonic, which acts as a cleanser, exfoliator, toner, and aftershave. This tonic makes it efficient not only for your morning/evening routine, but also for the environment because you’re using less plastic.
Formulated with natural ingredients and made in the USA, you can feel good about using it too.

DR Harris Milk of Cucumbers & Roses
Another fantastic multitasker from DR Harris. Because it’s so silky and produces minimal lather, you can actually leave DR Harris Milk of Cucumbers & Roses on after washing your face. The Milk will act as a light hydrator that’s perfect as a base layer under sunscreen. This product earns extra points because it’s also a makeup remover and makeup base, so you can share it with your special lady.
A light cucumber and rose scent leaves you smelling fresh rather than overpowered by fragrance.
