This classic staple is the perfect balance of fast-absorbing and long-lasting, and it leaves your skin feeling naturally soft.

3. The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil

The Body Shop / Amazon

There are over 15,000 tea tree leaves in this tiny bottle, and your skin will thank you for each and every one of them!

4. Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Back Spray

Boots

This non-greasy spray helps fight bacteria and prevent breakouts from popping up.

Tito’s tip: "It says it’s for the body, but I’ve been using it for the skin underneath my beard – it works against redness and inflammation. I also use it to combat the ingrown hairs that I tend to get."

Price: £3.33 for 150ml.

5. The Body Shop Cedar & Sage Conditioning Beard Oil

The Body Shop

Made with organic oils, this soothing beard oil is designed to nourish the beard and give the skin underneath some attention too, leaving it feeling soothed all day.

Price: £15.00 for 30ml.

6. Tropical Sun 100% Pure Coconut Oil

Tropical Sun

I think we’re all well aware of how moisturising coconut oil is, and beards deserve just as much nourishment as the hair on your head! This formula is 100% pure and natural – a true gift from Mother Nature herself.

Tito’s tip: "When I don’t moisturise, combing my beard is impossible, so this keeps it nice. To finish off my face, I just use a tiny dot of coconut oil all over my face and neck – this works for me because I have dry skin."

Price: £2.49 250ml.

7. Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil Extra Dark

Sunny Isle / Amazon

This natural oil is a must for anyone who wants to keep their hair as thick and nourished as can be – on your face, hair, or wherever! A little goes a long way, and you’re sure to notice a difference once you’ve worked your way through the entire bottle.

Tito’s tip: "I use just a little dab for the hair on my head, and then I add some of the coconut oil and go about my day."

Price: £6.85 for 118ml.

Xavier’s tip: "I normally do this once a week, and it really gets into the pores and unclogs them. Since I’ve started this I’ve noticed just how clear and healthy my skin looks."

Price: £1.00 for 10ml.

This cleansing oil is made with eight botanic oils, and they all work hard to gently remove any dirt that may have found its way onto your face. This is a must-have for anyone with sensitive skin – its oil formula gently melts off all the impurities, with minimal effort on your part.

Lateef’s tip: "Because it’s an oil, you might be wondering how you get it off – you start to add small bits of water to emulsify the oil."

Price: £18.00 for 150ml.

11. Baxter of California Daily Cleansing Face Wash

Baxter / Amazon

This daily face wash is packed with loads of activated natural ingredients that your face will thank you for – it’s got caffeine to energise, aloe vera and allantoin to combat redness, and coconut-derived agents to keep things hydrated. All that, and no sulphates – what more could you ask for?

Lateef’s tip: "I put this on my face for 60 seconds and then rinse it off – I find the aloe vera soothing for the skin."

Price: £19.00 for 236ml.

12. COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner

If you’re a toner virgin, this clarifying spray is the perfect place to start. The alpha and beta hydroxy acids provide gentle exfoliation that’ll restore the pH balance of even the most sensitive skin.
