We mostly all agree that hot tubs, massages and the like feel good, but ask anyone why and you’ll get a shrug (which is fair! That person was trying to relax, after all). Understanding what these self-care activities are doing to your body — and more importantly,...
So you went out drinking and woke up with a shiny new hunk of metal in your ear/nose/eyebrow/frenulum, huh? On the bright side, you kinda like how it looks! But if you want to keep it, you need to take care of it, or else you could...
When was the last time you gave yourself an eye massage? Probably never — it’s not something most of us ever think to do. This is strange, given that everyone who’s looked at a TV, computer screen or phone too long knows eyes can get tired and...
Hairstylist Cleve McMillan weighs in on your burning questions about the mysterious adventure that is getting a haircut. I usually wear a beanie to fight off the cold, but it always flattens out my hair for the rest of the day. What’s the best way to fix...

If you think shaving your own back is impossible, you’re wrong. It’s only mostly impossible. Unless you have a constantly updating 3D map of your back and the fine motor skills of a brain surgeon, it will always, always be easier to have someone else do the...
Most of us think of our skin like the bag in a bag of peanuts: Little more than a handy container that keeps all the good stuff together in one place. Our skin has a lot more to offer than being the equivalent of a brown paper...
Face moisturizer has been a more recent addition to most men’s grooming routines, but its popularity is soaring, with 54 percent of the men we surveyed telling us that they now moisturize their faces at least somewhat regularly. Since so many of us are novices when it...
