In case it wasn’t already abundantly obvious: Yes, being stuck inside for months on end did change some of the calculus of grooming in 2020. Rallying under the flag of “Who’s Going to See It, Anyway?” we countered cabin fever with enthusiastic experimentation. We gave ourselves haircuts, we tried different facial hair, we painted our nails, we spent way more time on skincare. And thanks to all those endeavors with the new and novel, we reminded ourselves of an old standby: Grooming isn’t always about quantity, it’s about quality. And, hell, we had the time to find it. So, through extensive trial and error, we discovered updated essentials, revisited a few classics, and reimagined our routines from the ground up thanks to these winning products.
