If you ever find yourself lost in the cosmetics aisle at your local drugstore — that aisle is a freaking labyrinth, dude — you know that there are all kinds of creams, balms and goops out there, characterized under all sorts of different names. Three of the...
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...
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...
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...
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...
I once believed that vigorously brushing my teeth for long periods of time kept them extra-clean: I was wrong, and my dentist was furious. Overly-thorough brushing, it turns out, isn’t only unnecessary — gentle scrubbing for two or three minutes at a time is more than enough...
There’s a few good reasons that Santa Claus is not an icon of youth culture, but chief among them would be his snowy white beard. Unfortunately, there’s no scenario where a white beard makes you look younger. “In my experience, beards typically always make someone look older,”...
