- I'm Tyrann Mathieu and these are My Essentials.
[electronic music]
My first essential is the Old Spice Deodorant.
It's probably one of the first things
I put on in the morning after I take a shower,
after practice, before practice.
Probably one of my favorite deodorants.
It's not my go-to to where, I won't wear this
if I'm going out.
This is just kinda like the everyday,
my everyday deodorant.
But I never do the gel.
I always get the powder, the powder,
the powder deodorant.
[laughing]
It's probably one of my favorite colognes,
called Creed.
I put this on, you know, if I'm having an interview,
if I'm going out, if I'm getting fresh
for a football game, this is kinda my go-to.
It's just a nice, old school smell.
It's called Green Irish Tweed.
Gives you that old, presidential, like
who is this guy, what has he done,
what does he do for a living kind of smell, so...
Smells pretty good.
I think it's extremely important how you smell.
You know, obviously before you open your mouth
I think people are willing to embrace guys
and girls that smell really good.
I probably wouldn't wear the Old Spice with the Creed,
if that makes sense.
I'd probably wear my Chanel deodorant if I'm
wearing the Creed cologne.
This is my big right here.
Bleu de Chanel deodorant.
The only time I switch my deodorant is if,
you know, I'm doing something fancy.
If I'm going to the ESPYs or if I have
anything to go to; NFL awards show, one of those
big-time interviews.
I wouldn't say that it necessarily has a smell to it.
I think it's more about the feel that I've learned Chanel.
I think a lot of, you know, how you act,
your personality has to do with how you feel.
I just try to feel good at all times.
Jack Black, kind of like my everyday deal.
Especially what I do for a living,
playing football, as much sweating as I do.
I try to wake up in the morning,
wash my face with these items.
After practice I try to wash my face again,
and then before I go to bed as well.
First I start with the scrub, scrub my face
with that and then from there I wash my beard,
which I finally started to grow a beard now, so.
I use that for my beard wash and this is the cleaner.
After that I put on my moisturizer.
So, keep my face nice and fresh and little bit oily.
My fiance actually put me onto this
and it's kinda become a ritual for me.
Actually I feel my teammates have stole a few of these
from me, so it must be pretty good.
Next up is my Tom Ford All Body Spray.
One of those body sprays that you just,
you can just put it on, people automatically know.
You know, I do a lot of running around.
I do a lot of different things.
I gotta smell good.
You know, I could throw on something that's not only
high end, but it smells pretty good.
People have a nice nose for it.
I always look forward to reaching down in my bag
and, you know, grabbing a bottle of this Tom Ford.
And it smells so much better than Axe.
This right here is my Maison Francis cologne.
And this is just another change up for me.
Just special events, special occasions.
I don't necessarily have to wear Tom Ford or Chanel.
But for me it's more gentle, I would say.
I wouldn't use the word feminine.
I always thought I was a boy's boy, you know,
I didn't have to, you know, necessarily
take care of my outer appearance, but I've had
a lot of guys come into my life, kind of showed me
how to do real manly things.
And this a pretty bottle, it looks like vodka, you know?
[laughing]
I have a lot of tattoos.
This is from the same company that makes my
face wash and it's basically a tattoo kit.
A lot of guys put lotion on their tattoos.
I kinda like to do oil.
It even has sun guard to kinda help protect you
from the sun.
I'm always outdoors.
We always practicing outside.
I try to use the oil probably the first five
days or so right after I got my tattoo.
I probably just use it one time a day.
And I think the oil lasts a little bit longer.
I feel like you gotta put lotion on, you know,
every time you think about your new tattoo
you gotta put some lotion on, so it keeps the tattoo
nice and fresh and it soaks in your skin.
Kiehl's Chapstick.
I'm really big on appearance and how I look,
especially living down south, the humidity is high.
Your lips can get pretty dry, pretty chapped
pretty quick so I like to keep one of these,
a tube of these on me.
It helps my lips feel fresh, like I said,
keeps a lot of oil in it.
Not so much shine as it is moisture,
and that's what I really like about it.
Kiehl's Body Scrub.
When you're using it, it feels like you're scrubbing off
dirt, it feels like you're scrubbing off dry skin.
Not only do I love it, but my teammates love it,
so I usually put one in my locker and then
I'll hide another one under my locker.
A lot of my teammates have stolen these
out of my locker.
I decided to start using this because of Pat Pete,
Patrick Peterson, one of my old teammates.
He always kept things like this in his locker
and I always used the soap that was in the facility,
which is a bad idea.
He made it seem like it gave him extra energy.
As almost as if it was a fatigue scrubber
and oh, you feel so much better after you use it, and...
I don't know if I feel so much better,
but I do feel so much fresher, so, yeah.
[laughing]
Body moisturizer, another Kiehl's product.
If you don't wanna use traditional lotion,
if you wanna take it up a notch, it's like a
all over body so you could put it on your face,
put it on your hands, your feet, literally,
whatever you want to put it on, you could put it on.
It doesn't necessarily have a scent to it.
It keeps you moisturized and it keeps you feeling fresh.
It's Handsome Hands.
It's like a hand kit.
Pat Pete put me on this as well.
I would see him in the locker, you know,
just doing his toes and clipping fingernails
and cleaning his nails.
I never thought that was a part of football.
You know, you gotta take care of your body.
So playing football, not only do your feet
get traumatized but a lot of times your hands as well.
If I'm getting out of practice and I gotta go run
to an interview where I'm gonna shake people's hands,
just throw on the hand cream.
I got a few toenail clippers, scissors, and then
I also got the nail cleaner.
So I always whip this out of my bag if Coach
is talking too much and I just kinda sit back
and, literally, do my nails.
[laughing]
This is my fancy beard oil.
This is top notch, right here.
It gets that beard looking, you know, feeling glowy.
I don't oil my beard every day.
I would only oil my beard, you know, if I was
doing something, you know, I'm traveling on the road,
and I know cameras are gonna be out.
Pre-game, walking into the stadium when I know
a lot of people are gonna be looking at me.
Doesn't necessarily have a smell to it,
but if you're standing across the room
you can tell that I have some kind of beard oil on.
Just know that it's Tom Ford.
[laughing]
I like to take care of myself.
I think that's very important.
How I smell, how I feel.
I think if you could focus on the day-to-day tasks
of taking care of yourself, putting yourself
in the right kind of vibe, the right kind of feeling,
I think that has tremendous impact as far as
you having a great day, you having a great week,
you having a great life.
I'm Tyrann Mathieu, thanks for watching,
and these are My Essentials.
