The Modern Gentleman Routine: Simple Men’s Skincare That Works
The first time Canyon Jenkins asked Yensi Check for skincare advice, neither of them could have predicted the chain of events that would lead to the creation of The Modern Gentleman (TMG), a luxury men’s skincare house that has disrupted the grooming industry. What started as a simple conversation about skincare turned into a shared vision to create something better, something that truly worked for men—without the unnecessary steps, complexity, or gimmicks that were saturating the market. This is the story of how TMG became a beacon for minimalist skincare for men, engineered for performance and crafted for style.
The Spark: A Simple Ask that Ignited a Revolution
In the world of men’s skincare, it’s easy to find products that claim to be for men. But few are built with men’s unique skin and needs in mind. Canyon’s question to Yensi about skincare wasn’t groundbreaking—it was the kind of question many men ask when they start to pay attention to their skin: “What products do I use?” But for Canyon, this innocent inquiry unveiled a glaring gap in the market. Men’s skincare products were either too complicated, too gimmicky, or ineffective. What they needed was straightforward, high-performance skincare that fit seamlessly into their lives.
Canyon and Yensi quickly realized that the answer wasn’t simply “buy what’s labeled for men,” but rather to create something tailor-made for how men actually live. The Modern Gentleman was born from this realization—a luxury skincare line that offered real results with fewer steps.
Building The Modern Gentleman: From Idea to Execution
TMG isn’t just another skincare brand; it’s a solution for men who want effective, high-performance skincare without the clutter. Founded by Yensi Check and Canyon Jenkins, the company was designed to address the common pain points men face when it comes to their skincare routines: unnecessary complexity, ineffective products, and a lack of genuine, luxury options that cater to their specific needs.
“We wanted something simple but effective,” says Yensi. “Something that would give men confidence, power, and respect for themselves. Our products had to perform, but also look good doing it.” This drive to create high-performance, minimal skincare is at the heart of TMG’s ethos.
Each product is formulated with proven actives and clean, effective bases tuned to the unique needs of men’s skin. The results are visible, and the process is clear. The routines are streamlined—two to five steps, with clear guidance and high-quality formulas. And all of this is wrapped up in TMG’s signature black-and-gold packaging that elevates the grooming experience.
Overcoming Obstacles: The Road to Refinement
No journey toward success is without its challenges, and TMG’s path was no exception. In the early stages, Yensi and Canyon had to navigate the complexities of creating a brand that both men and women would believe in. The market for men’s skincare was crowded with subpar, mass-market options, and convincing men to invest in premium skincare was no small feat.
“We had to make sure everything was not just functional, but elevated,” Yensi explains. “It wasn’t just about cutting down the steps—it was about refining the experience.” Their solution was to offer products that were sleek, elegant, and functional—all while keeping the customer in mind at every stage.
What set TMG apart wasn’t just the aesthetic or the minimal routine—it was the results. Men don’t want skincare that feels like a chore. They want something they can easily incorporate into their busy lives, but still see the results. TMG delivers on both.
The Breakthrough: A Minimalist Routine with Maximum Impact
What makes TMG truly unique is its ability to simplify skincare routines without sacrificing quality or performance. The modern man doesn’t have the time for a 10-step skincare routine. He needs products that work fast and deliver visible results without taking up too much of his time. TMG offers exactly that: a high-performance skincare system that requires just 2 to 5 steps.
“This is skincare engineered for performance,” says Canyon. “But it’s crafted for style. We designed everything to make men feel confident in their routine, empowered to take care of themselves, and respected for the choice they made in picking our products.”
The brand’s minimalist approach to skincare is reflected in its formulations. Each product is carefully curated to include proven, effective ingredients, designed specifically for men’s skin. Whether it’s moisturizing, rejuvenating, or cleansing, TMG products work together to create a holistic approach to skincare, without the guesswork.
What Sets TMG Apart from the Competition?

While many skincare brands claim to be made for men, TMG stands apart in its thoughtful approach to design and performance. Other products often claim to be “for men” but aren’t necessarily built for men’s skin. TMG addresses the real needs of men: clear instructions, effective formulations, and minimal steps.
“We’re not just a skincare brand for men; we’re a skincare solution,” says Yensi. “It’s about performance, but also making sure that every product feels like a luxury experience. The black-and-gold aesthetic isn’t just for looks—it elevates the entire experience of taking care of yourself.”
TMG’s products are crafted to give men the power and confidence they need, with the simple yet effective solutions that men have been searching for. And the results speak for themselves.
Values: Confidence, Power, Respect
At the heart of TMG’s mission are three core values: confidence, power, and respect. These aren’t just buzzwords—they are guiding principles that inform every product and every decision made by the company.
For TMG, skincare isn’t just about looking good; it’s about feeling good and empowering men to take pride in their appearance. The brand believes that self-care is a form of respect, and that confidence and power come from consistently taking care of oneself.
The Future of TMG: Luxury Skincare for the Modern Man
As TMG continues to grow, the brand remains focused on its mission: to offer luxury skincare that’s high-performance, minimalist, and tailored to the modern man. From their daily essentials to limited edition drops, TMG is constantly refining their offerings to meet the evolving needs of men’s skincare.
TMG’s founders remain committed to creating a brand that’s not just about aesthetics, but about delivering results that matter. As the brand looks toward the future, it continues to remove the guesswork from men’s skincare, giving them clear, purposeful routines that work.
