When it comes to our bodies, there are the regions that are treated in high regard, and then there are the regions that are treated with distrust, if not outright disdain. From the former, we’d likely include our arms, our legs, our chests and, of course, our...
You’ve almost certainly heard of “shower thoughts,” those random ideas of incredible brilliance, profundity, and/or weirdness that seem to invariably hit us in the middle of a shower. There’s a decent chance you’ve had one or two yourself. But have you ever wondered why? To understand why...
There are still some naysayers when it comes to chest hair grooming: There are those that say chest hair is making a comeback, for example. There are even those who would argue that a good chest rug is healthy — that we evolved with chest hair because...
Having dry skin can be a drag. It’s itchy, painful, and makes shaving — which already dries your skin out — even more uncomfortable. Luckily, there’s something you can do about it, starting and ending with moisturizing. Shaving dry skin is much like shaving regular skin —...
Like many of us, you may have been using the last year as an opportunity to experiment with your facial hair. And like many of us, you may be, well, disappointed with the less-than-magnificent result. It can be easy to disparage your own looks, though, and you...
Most of us guys care dearly about the delicate kielbasa between our legs, but apparently, many of us seldom perform the comprehensive cleaning it deserves (which might explain why five percent of men are still hosing down their junk with cologne). This, of course, is how we...
Most men like to keep the back of their hairline looking neat, whether it’s straight as an arrow, tapered, or gently rounded. Unfortunately, your neck does not respect these boundaries, and is constantly cluttering them up with random hair. But you can keep the ramparts of your...
We all have a few rogue body hairs that don’t abide by the rules: The random loner on top of the ear; the billowing straggler on your otherwise bare upper arm. They’re longer, coarser, curlier and usually darker than their neighboring fuzz, but what’s going on underneath...
For many of us, “snow” isn’t just this weird thing that happens in the winter, or a predictable thing that goes on in the men’s room at a Miami nightclub — it’s more of an evergreen phenomenon, and it’s happening on our heads. I’m talking about the...
As common sense would suggest, if your face already produces enough oil to glimmer in the moonlight, slathering on moisturizer could be considered excessive. But before chucking your bottle of facial lubrication into a nearby incinerator, come along as we examine the causes of oily skin, how...
Of all the places on your body that can be extremely hirsute, your hands are among the most noticeable. Other than your face, they’re the most exposed skin you have, which means they’re extremely visible to others, and since very long knuckle hair is relatively uncommon, they...
The idea that shaving is part of a skincare routine might sound counterintuitive: When you think of skincare, you think about exfoliating and moisturizing and stuff, while shaving is about taking a razor to lop off your facial hair. But you use products before shaving to make...
