The

Seasonal Grooming Swap

We're midway through May, and you've likely embraced your warm weather wardrobe, so now it's time to update your medicine cabinet. Here's what to stock and what to store during the summer months ahead.

Stock: Lightweight Moisturizer
Store: Heavy Facial Cream
 

Instead of thick, greasy creams, opt for light lotions that are fast-absorbing. This new serum is ultralight and conditioning, not to mention free of fragrance and parabens. Plus, it's packed with a broad spectrum SPF 30.

Stock: Grooming Cream
Store: Pomade, Gel and Wax
 

Switch out heavier waxes, sticky gels and thicker pomades which can often melt in the summer sun for a pliable, featherweight cream that adds just a touch of shine and definition. Plus, it conditions hair without weighing it down.

Stock: Toner
Store: Facial Scrubs and Pre-Shave Oil
 

Since the chill isn't sucking your skin dry anymore, a toner will clean and exfoliate your face with the added benefit of eliminating shine. Witch hazel is a natural redness reducer, so these pads are ideal for breakouts and sunburns. Keep 'em in the fridge for even more relief.

Stock: Body Wash
Store: Bar Soap
 

Infused with rosemary and eucalyptus, this tingling, hydrating wash is ideal for sun-parched skin and overworked muscles. Naturally antibacterial, Jack Black's Turbo Wash dissolves sweat and grime, but won't dry out your skin like soap. Plus, it can double as a cooling shampoo.
