Model Lucky Blue Smith’s grooming routine was inspired by the women in his family. “You’ve got to have a routine," he says in the latest episode of Grooming Gods. "It can be as simple or as complicated as you want, but you’ve got to have something. My mom and sisters really pushed that on me when I was growing up, and I’m glad they did.”

He takes his grooming seriously, but that doesn’t mean his regimen is particularly long or challenging. “It’s super simple, but effective, because we’ve all got things to do.” So if you’re tight for time, worry not: you can still get ready for the day like a model. Here's what to use.

La Mer moisturizer 

La Mer "The Moisturizing Matte Lotion"$300

Sephora

Lucky Blue prefers LaMer. “I don’t use too much,” he notes, and that’s a good reminder for us all. Don’t overdo it!

Supergoop sunscreen 

Supergoop "Unseen Sunscreen"$34

Sephora

Lucky Blue is a father of two, and he spends a lot of time playing outside with his kids. That makes something with a high SPF especially important. “You got to put sunscreen on, okay?” He uses clear sunscreen—it’s easy to put on and you don’t need to spend half an hour rubbing it in to get that chalky white look off your face.

Hey Humans deodorant

Target

Deodorant is an unsexy but imperative part of any grooming regimen. Never forget it. Lucky Blue uses an all-natural deodorant with a coconut mint scent.

R + Co hair cream 

R+Co "High Dive" hair cream$29

Amazon

Lucky Blue uses a generous amount of hair cream for a little moisture and shine. He applies it on the side and back of his head then works his way up to the top. He prefers using his hands to a comb, but you need to have a good, malleable product to make that work.

Ralph Lauren cologne

Ralph Lauren "Ralph's Club" eau de parfum$110

Ralph Lauren

“The most important part: smelling good.” Lucky Blue has a hack that we haven't seen before—prime your skin with lotion (pick one with a scent that complements your fragrance of choice) then immediately apply cologne—it helps it stick to your skin.
