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.

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
