When it comes to self-care, NFL tight end Kyle Pitts knows that looking good and feeling good go hand in hand—on and off the field. The Atlanta Falcons star recently sat down to talk about why Bevel is his go-to grooming brand, how he keeps his skin in check and why he’s stepping outside his comfort zone when it comes to grooming.
Why Bevel?
For Pitts, Bevel was a game-changer from the moment he laid eyes on it. “Man, when I first saw Bevel at a project event a friend of mine was hosting, I was like, ‘Yo, these clippers are sharp!’ I fell in love with them instantly,” he said. “And of course, with it being a Black-founded business, that just made it even better. I grew up using Andis, but once I saw Bevel, I made the switch and haven’t looked back.”
Skincare is Non-Negotiable
As an athlete, Pitts understands that skincare isn’t just about vanity—it’s about maintenance. “Skincare is essential, but I’m not gonna lie, traveling makes it hard to stay consistent. I try to drink water, exfoliate, and just keep up with it as best as I can,” he admits. “It’s like training—if you slack off, you feel it.”
For him, grooming is just as important as staying fit. “Your hygiene is part of your routine, just like working out and eating right. You want to be at your best whether you’re in front of cameras or on the field.”
Evolving His Style
Pitts isn’t just leveling up his grooming routine—he’s also experimenting with his personal style. “I’ve been stepping out of my comfort zone lately,” he said. “I’m feeling the oversized, baggy looks a bit more now, but I still love a clean suit. It all depends on the weather and the occasion.”
That evolution is a natural part of growing into his own. “Fashion is another way to express yourself. Just like how you train to be the best on the field, you want to feel your best when you step out.”
The Bevel Effect
For Pitts, Bevel isn’t just about clippers—it’s a whole system. “Man, the beard oil? Clutch. My beard is finally coming in, and the oil keeps it looking right. Plus, the lotion? Smooth,” he said with a laugh.
And it’s not just for the guys. “I heard women love Bevel, too. They’re out here stealing their man’s products, so you know it’s gotta be good!”
Self-Care & Self-Love
February is all about love, but for Pitts, self-love is year-round. “Self-care is just making sure you’re good—mentally, physically, all of that. You gotta wake up and be happy with yourself first before you can give that energy to anyone else.”
He keeps a routine no matter the season. “I set my routine in the summer and adjust it for winter. Different seasons, different needs. But the key is staying consistent.”
At the end of the day, Pitts is all about balance. Whether it’s grooming, fashion or self-care, he’s making sure every aspect of his game—on and off the field—is tight. And with Bevel in his corner, he’s got it all on lock.
