Travel Smart With Beardbrand’s New Solid Colognes

There’s nothing worse than arriving at your vacation destination, opening your luggage and realizing your cologne bottle has broken in your suitcase. Solid cologne is the key to smelling great while on the road. Unlike glass bottles of liquid fragrance, they’re easier to pack and won’t drench your wardrobe. Cult beard care brand Beardbrand’s new collection of solid colognes make great travel companions.

Let’s face it, not everyone on your flight will smell so good. But you will, with these new TSA friendly solid colognes. Beardbrand’s Silver Collection of colognes smell just as good as regular spray scents but are made with beeswax and jojoba oil instead of alcohol. Because they have a high concentration of natural fragrances these colognes have staying power. They evaporate less quickly on your skin than traditional liquids, so a little goes a long way. Apply sparingly to your pulse points like wrists, neck and behind the ears to improve your in-flight experience.

GUESS releases iconic new men’s cologne
GUESS ICONIC's new men's cologne is all about brand imaging
GUESS ICONIC

In the world of men’s fragrances, some brands niche down to appeal to a specific “type” and demographic, while others try to be all things to all people. The latter is especially true when they include the word “ICONIC” in their brand name, which is the case for this release from GUESS.
It's called GUESS ICONIC for Men, but GUESS isn't a company that's gender-specific when it comes to its scents. Its counterpart, GUESS Woman, was launched last April, and GUESS also designs, markets, distributes, and licenses a large collection of lifestyle products, including apparel, handbags, watches, footwear, and other consumer goods.

Mushrooms for men’s skincare? Verdoie adds new shroom-based supplement
These two products harness the healing power of mushrooms
Verdoie skincare product

Mushrooms are everywhere. They surround us in the woods when we go for a walk after a heavy spring rain. They’re omnipresent in recipes, both around the world and across the internet. They’ve even turned up in our coffee lately, so it was probably just a matter of time before they appeared in skincare products.
The company to thank for this latest development is a French firm called Verdoie, which just added a supplement called Le Complement Alimentaire to its existing line of mushroom-based moisturizers.

Is too much shower time bad for your skin? What a new study says
This study was conducted on eczema patients, and its good news for them

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last couple of years, you’ve probably read or heard a few things about the importance of our skin biome. It’s being compared in importance to our gut bacteria, which many researchers and scientists believe determines the strength of our immune system.
However, the rise of the skin biome has come with several unintended consequences. One is the idea that bathing too frequently or spending too much time in the shower weakens or damages the skin biome, but a recent study suggests that this might not be true at all.

This in-depth study was conducted on eczema patients
 
The fact that this study was conducted exclusively using eczema patients might seem like a good way to produce idiosyncratic results, but if you look at the details of the study, the struggles these people experience suggests a weaker skin biome that makes them ideal for this kind of test.
The Eczema Bathing Study was designed by people with eczema, together with researchers and healthcare professionals. Subjects were divided into two groups: Those who bathed or showered at least six times a week were classified as “daily bathing,” while those who showered or bathed once or twice a week were designated “weekly bathing.”
These people followed the same routine for four weeks, and they made no changes in their eczema routine, i.e., they used the same moisturizers and other skincare products to counter their condition. The amount of bathing is a vital variable for those struggling with eczema, and there were 438 people in the study, including both adults and children.
