Gift Guide: Brooklyn Grooming Shave Oil

By Amanda Gabriele Published December 18, 2019

Dry winter skin is something that plagues us all, and running a razor across your face doesn’t necessarily help to make the situation better. Enter Brooklyn Grooming’s Commando Shave Oil, a mineral-rich, classic formula that moisturizes and nourishes the skin while you shave.

Not only will this oil give you a smooth shave without cuts or scrapes, but it acts as a post-shave moisturizer, saving you a step in your regular grooming routine. But what about the foam? Many formulas made to lather contain synthetic ingredients that will further dry out the skin. Containing only natural oils, Brooklyn Grooming’s blend naturally softens the hair follicles, making for a smooth and pleasant shave. The brand’s line of products includes some rad fragrances, but we love the unscented Commando for its ultra minimalistic feel.

Legendary Hungarian skincare company releases powerful collagen booster

Elixir provides clinically proven skincare results

The Elixir from Omorovicza

When it comes to history and legacy, it’s safe to say that Omoroviczva stands alone. The Budapest-based firm has established itself as one of the most fascinating firms in the men’s skincare market, and the release of its latest product, Elixir, is a significant new addition to its product line.
Given the uniqueness factor, a bit of background is required. The company’s hero ingredient, the trademarked "Healing Concentrate," is produced by biofermenting the Budapest thermal water that transforms the 26 minerals it contains into bio-available molecules that the skin can absorb and utilize.

Thinning hair? Consider these expert-recommended ingredients for voluminous locks

Volume isn't only for muscles. You may notice your hair is thinning. While you've heard that hair thins as you age (naturally), you may not be ready. Is getting thicker hair possible? One hair surgeon constantly fields this question from men.
"Many men are interested in volumizing their hair because thinning or fine hair can make them feel older or less confident," said Dr. Ross Kopelman, MD, a hair transplant surgeon at Kopelman Hair Restoration with offices in New York and Palm Beach. "Hair loss is a common concern, and even if they aren’t experiencing significant shedding, many want their hair to appear thicker and fuller."
There's certainly nothing wrong with aging or embracing thinning hair (or rocking a bald 'do). However, you can find ingredients for thicker hair in everyday products. Experts shared their most recommended ingredients for fuller hair (and a few to avoid).

Everyone's body will respond differently to ingredients. Certain factors, like genetics and overall health, may contribute to male-pattern baldness. Your best bet is to speak with a dermatologist about ways to improve your hair and whether or not these ingredients for thicker hair will work for you.
