FATHER'S DAY COLLAB WITH BRKLN BLOKE AND SOME OF THE BEST FACIAL SKINCARE FROM SOLARA SUNCARE, CODEX BEAUTY AND THE GLOW MAKER
FATHER'S DAY COLLAB WITH BRKLN BLOKE AND SOME OF THE BEST FACIAL SKINCARE
Father’s Day is Sunday June 21st and it’s a distinct honor for me to collaborate this year with my favorite streetwear brand, BRKLN BLOKE — founded by fellow Brookliner, Wayne Fortune.
I know you’ve seen me in those BRKLN BLOKE caps!
Wayne and I met at a street festival last summer – and I haven’t left the house without my BRKLN BLOKE snapback since. Always reppin!
So when Wayne asked me what I thought about an opportunity to get some really dope skincare into the hands of guys across Brooklyn, I didn’t hesitate. Most guys I know barely use skincare, let alone the best skincare available.
So I reached out to a few of my favorite brands to see if they’d be interested in partnering with me on the initiative. I’m so honored that Codex Beauty, Solara Suncare and The Glow Recipe agreed. Seriously, thank you, guys!
I wanted to share about the products I selected for the box. You know I don’t believe in “men’s skincare.” Skin is skin and each of the products is made for both women and men, formulated with clean, natural ingredients – no toxins, no fragrance, no synthetic preservatives. No b.s.! Just really good stuff for skin.

The Codex Beauty Bia Discovery Kit includes the Bia Exfoliating Wash, my favorite face scrub. I always use it before shaving to soften my beard and make shaving less awful. It’s super thick and all-natural with soothing castor oil, moisturizing shea butter and jojoba grains for gentle exfoliation that won’t scrape your face.
Usage: Use as a pre-shave on bearded area or over entire face a couple times a week. Gently massage a small amount on damp skin and wash off thoroughly with warm water.

The Alpine Reboot Defense Boosting Serum from Solara Suncare is a super anti-aging serum with powerful antioxidants, anti-aging peptides and unique actives that strengthen skin’s defenses against sun damage. It doesn’t contain SPF but works with your sunscreen to enhance protection.
Usage: Because it’s packed with aloe and shea butter, you can use it as a moisturizing lotion on its own – or before a thicker moisturizer.

The Vitamin C Facial Moisturizer from The Glow Maker is one of the best antioxidant moisturizers to help defend skin against aging and skin damage from pollution, stress, smoke and the sun. It’s perfect for New Yorkers and Brooklynites alike and made with organic plant oils like aloe, sunflower seed oil and shea butter.
Usage: Both AM + PM, after washing your face, apply a small amount over entire face.

WOLF PROJECT | HYDRATING FACE MASK
It’s been a min since I did a sheet mask. I dunno why — it’s really the quickest, most effective way to shut down and breathe.
And the The Hydrating Face Mask from the Wolf Project is the perfect 15-minute selfcare sesh!
I hate sheet masks that fall off my face 30 seconds after I apply it. But the Wolf Project nailed it with their Bamboo Charcoal sheet that grips the face like magic — and stays in place. This mask isn’t going anywhere!
The serum is infused with a high level of brightening Niacinamide, which as the third ingredient in the INCI is about a 5% concentration. That’s just what you need to get an immediate and lasting brightening effect.
In addition, there are a slew of potent antioxidant extracts that soothe skin and help defend against external damage, too. And…I’m so honored that the Wolf Project agreed to collab with me in the BRKLN BLOKE Father’s Day boxes. Thanks, Wolf!
Usage: Anytime, anywhere!.
SHOP THE BLOG: Purchase a 5-pack of the Wolf Project Hydrating Face Masks for $24.50 here.
That’s it guys! If you’re interested in copping the BRKLN BLOKE Father’s Day box, they’re available on the BRKLN BLOKE website for a limited time here.
Happy Father’s Day to guys all over Brooklyn — and beyond!
