I like to think I have a fairly moist face, as far as faces go. I moisturize after every shower, which feels like a considerable amount. But compared to my silky cheeks and chin, the area between my eyes — smack-dab in the middle of my otherwise...
Skin: It’s your body’s largest organ, and the first line of defense from the harsh elements that surround us. Make that “surrounded us,” as it were, because for the many of us still working from home, we’re spending less time outdoors than we used to. Indeed, it...
Now that so many of us have largely settled into spending much of our work lives in virtual meetings where the only thing to look at is one another’s faces, it’s a better time than ever to take care of your skin. By which of course we...
You’re in the shower and everything’s splendid: The water’s warm, the scent’s uplifting and you’re belting out your favorite shower-time tune. But then, out of nowhere, a stray drop of shampoo soars into your eye, feeling like the red-hot soapy trident of Satan himself. What makes this...
We all know how showers work. We use shampoo to get our hair clean, and body wash to get the day’s grime off our bodies. We may even shave in there! And all that dirt and sweat and oil and hair wash safely down the drain… except...

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...
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...
If you have a prominent woman in your life or have ever stopped into a hair salon, you might at some point have heard a bit of grumbling about split ends. They seem to be a frustrating thing, and they happen on heads; you can tell that...
