The men’s grooming world is continuing to make waves bigger than Hawaii’s North Shore, and the new Aesop Mouthcare system has certainly hit the shoreline with a thundering impact.

There’s a whole world of products out there to keep the hair on your head on your head and the whiskers on your face pristine and healthy, but now the men’s grooming market is also taking aim at our pearly whites. Melbourne-based Aesop has taken a sincere interest in men’s grooming since its founding in 1987, boasting rustic design bundled with high-grade, effective products. The Aesop mouthcare duo follows their footsteps into the realm of teeth tailoring.

The Aesop mouthcare duo, consisting of a toothpaste and mouthwash, combines Anise essential oils for meticulous oral care and distinguished taste that makes brushing your teeth a pleasure rather than a chore.

Aesop’s latest oral care formula was designed so you can maintain impeccable oral hygiene — which, let’s be honest, is super easy to forget about. Their toothpaste starts off the process with a fluoride-free solution that effectively cleans teeth and gums, while essential oils of anise, spearmint, and clove provide a unique sensation and taste when compared to your everyday Colgate selections.

The Aesop Toothpaste also boasts the soothing effects of Sea Buckthorn, which lessens gum irritation from frequent brushing, as well as cardamom and Wasabia Japonica to help sustain a fresh and lasting breath.

Sure, we’re old enough to pay no mind to how our toothpaste tastes, but Aesop makes it much easier to get down to brushing with a flavor as eclectic and memorable as this one.

Now on to the mouthwash, which — if used in tandem with the toothpaste — provides the full effect of the mouthcare duo. This alcohol-free solution is formulated to help maintain the freshness the toothpaste provides without damaging or disturbing your mouth’s natural state. Using the same essential oils combined with minty and spicy aromas, the mouthwash is a tantalizing breath freshener that tastes so good you’ll have to remind yourself not to drink it.

Aesop recommends you use the duo twice every day, just like you would other oral care products. There are no tricks or trades, just simply, teeth-strengthening, bacteria-fighting oral health all wrapped in a package that you won’t mind having out on your bathroom counter.

You can buy each product separately, or simply purchase the Aesop Mouthcare duo here.

The idea of having glowing skin — the coveted, year-round, sun-kissed, and slightly tan — is the subject of many hot tips. Yet, hair can get a bit lost in the sauce until you look in the mirror and feel like your hair is locked into an endless February.
"Dull hair is just that ... dull," said Alexia Donovan, the director of client services and operations at the Barber Surgeons Guild. "It often appears unhealthy, is difficult to style, and requires a lot of work to improve the appearance. Additionally, dull hair can be more prone to breakage and shedding."
Leave the constant shedding to the dogs. Stylists and dermatologists share tips on how to get shiny hair, from product advice to lifestyle tips that are free.

Before discussing how to get shiny hair, it might help to understand how your locks can become dull. The reasons for this issue can vary, so you'll want to pinpoint the potential culprits based on your personal habits and styling routine.

Harry Slatkin’s Dwell212 body care line promises mood-boosting skincare
New Dwell212 body care products offer innovative pricing
Dwell212 new products on black background

Harry Slatkin’s reputation in the world of fragrances is both impressive and longstanding, so it’s big news when he introduces a series of body care products that can help men improve their skincare routines. His nickname within the industry is “The Nose,” which should tell you all you need to know about his skill set.
Slatkin’s latest entry in the fragrance and skincare game is a new product line launched this month under the brand name Dwell212. The Dwell212 body care products are grouped under four different product categories: Body Lotion, Body Wash, Hand Wash and Fragrance Mist.
There are four different scents in each category, so there’s a bit to unpack here with this many individual products. The specific scents are Cucumber, Lavender, Citrus, and Petals. All four scents are designed to be used by both men and women, although the Petals scent is being marketed more for women.

The Dwell212 scents
The next level of analysis involves examining some of the specific products more closely. Citrus Body Wash, for instance, is a 16-ounce product that relies on vitamin E and shea butter to help moisturize, and to soothe and calm irritated skin.
Cucumber Body Lotion, meanwhile, is formulated to be light, invigorating, and rejuvenating. Aloe is added to enhance the benefits provided by shea butter and vitamin E.
For the Fragrance Mist category, we’ll explore the world of Lavender, which comes in 8-ounce quantities. The effective ingredients are the same, including the aforementioned aloe. This product is also touted as vegan and free of harmful skincare additives like aluminum, sulfate, phthalate, and parabens.
Lastly, let’s look at the Hand Wash category and Petals. It’s described as having a “flirty, floral bouquet,” hence the more feminine marketing approach. The effective ingredients are the same as the others, though, and some men are using the Petals products, according to the company.
One slight difference between these products and those of other skincare companies is the use of essential oils. Some manufacturers are eschewing them, but the Dwell212 website claims that they “elevate your vibe and mood throughout the day,” so mood enhancement is part of the pitch.

After almost 50 years, Yankees embrace beards — because why not, right?
Yankee players can now have beards
New York Yankees relief pitcher Mariano Rivera (42) pitches against the Colorado Rockies on June 26, 2011 at Yankee Stadium.

For nearly a half-century, the New York Yankees personal grooming policy has been a running tribute to the days when men were men, ballplayers simply played ball, and they shaved every day to meet the demands of their late owner, George Steinbrenner.
Not anymore. In a significant sign of the times—or a sign of the coming apocalypse if you’re a traditional Yankee fan of a certain age — current Yankees chairman Hal Steinbrenner rescinded the team's beard ban, which has stood the test of time since his father instituted it in 1976.

The Yankees' no-beard policy has left a trail of shaved beard hair
