You don’t have to be a nature guy to appreciate the work of renowned craftsman and “treehouse guy,” Pete Nelson. He has written five books and stars in his own show Treehouse Masters on Animal Planet. Nelson has partnered with Dove Men+Care to create a treehouse concept inspired by the earthy ingredients found in their new Elements range. He’ll have Mineral + Sage, Charcoal + Clay, and Mineral Powder + Sandalwood to riff on. The next level fort will be complete this spring but, we hear there’s a sophisticated bathhouse vibe already taking shape. Charcoal, wood stains, and even a living wall may play into the design.

When it comes to architecting your shower experience, Dove Men+Care has a good plan too. “We know that men are looking for a new kind of freshness in their grooming routines,” said Nick Soukas, V.P. of Marketing for Dove at Unilever U.S. How about experiencing the Elements inspiring Pete’s creation for yourself? There are three different formulations to trigger your earthly senses.

Mineral + Sage offers a natural clean that will soothe your skin. You wake up calm and refreshed. Keep it that way by showering with this bar soap or body wash.

Charcoal + Clay gently lifts out dirt, oil and toxins while purifying the skin. You’ll get a nice deep clean.

Mineral Powder + Sandalwood absorbs excess moisture and calms skin. If your underarms are sensitive, these soothing pit products will keep you fresh for 48 hours without irritation.

You can stay in Pete Nelson’s treehouse and experience Dove Men+Care Elements from high in the sturdy trees of Chattanooga, Tennessee by entering to win here.

Electric shaver vs. razor: Which is better for your face?
An answer to the age old question of which shave method is better

Whether you are the kind of guy who likes to rock the clean shaven look while you conquer Wall Street in a suit, or you are the kind of guy that likes to sport the long and thick mane of a beard while you work outdoors, you have to shave your face. Shaving all over or simply shaping your beard means you are involved in the age-old question of electric shaver vs razor. Of course, which you choose has a lot to do with your lifestyle.

Just like trying to decide what the best shoes are for you, or electing to dive into what the best suits are for you, it all comes down to the kind of lifestyle you lead. If you are an outdoorsman, you have very specific needs for your shave routine. It needs to be fast and portable. If you are a man with a love of luxury, then you may love to take your time with a solid routine. That may even be the kind of self-care you need to center yourself in the morning.

Most guys probably already know the brand Dr. Squatch.
