There are throngs of anti-aging products out there for women, but what about for men? As you get older and older there’s no turning back. You have to face the hard truth and start taking care of your skin. Moisturizers, anti-wrinkle serums and sunscreen will do the trick, but how do you know what’s good for you? The grooming industry is so under regulated that sometimes you’re getting some extra additives in your product.

That’s what the group of guys who started TAUN Skin Care were thinking as they began to approach their thirties. They decided to take matters into their own hands and develop their own line of skincare products. “Through countless hours of research with chemists, dermatologists and speaking with customers, TAUN introduced their Facial Repair Formula,” they explain. “With a slew of impressive active ingredients and a bent towards natural skin care, it is the best product available in a market sorely missing this sort of quality.”

The TAUN Facial Repair Formula has 13 ingredients proven to fight aging: Retinol, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin-C, Ester Blend, Peptide Blend, Jojoba Oil, and Apricot Kernel Oil.  Plus, it’s small batch, vegan friendly, and you get a refund if you’re not satisfied after 30 days. Our kind of product!

TAUN Skin Care is available at taunskincareformen.com.

The Google of petroleum jelly began trending because of the concept of "slugging" (which has nothing to do with baseball).

Should you put olive oil on your skin? Derms sound off
Should you apply your favorite cooking ingredient to your skin?
Olive oil poured into a bowl

Typically, we try to keep food off our faces. However, applying food to the skin isn't exactly new. Skin care professionals have put different foods, like berries, in face masks, and at-home recipes also call for adding ingredients like avocado, often reserved for breakfast.

What about olive oil? Not only is olive oil a food, but the word "oil" may be a turn-off, particularly for people with acne-prone skin. Still, applying olive oil directly to the skin and reaping significant benefits has persisted.
"Recently, DIY, or do it yourself, skincare has gained popularity, with many patients preferring home remedies," said Viktoryia Kazlouskaya, MD, Ph.D., the founder and a dermatologist at Dermatology Circle PLLC, in New York. "This is also encouraged by social media and even a few celebrities. Patients often assume that using olive oil is safe, and indeed, it is for many individuals. Olive oil contains triglycerides that moisturize the skin."
That doesn't mean you should grab a bottle of olive oil from your pantry and lather up. Experts explained the benefits of olive oil for the skin and why some people should skip this one.

Recently, we have been shedding light on Black-owned businesses, from Black-owned fashion upstarts to Black-owned beverage brands and everything in between.

Black culture has had a huge impact on grooming and beauty, but there are still many great Black-owned businesses that still don't get as much recognition as other legacy brands.

Below, we shine a light on several Black-owned brands that are putting out some of the best grooming products for men. These professionals not only fill voids for Black skincare left in the mainstream personal care aisle but also strive to make the world a little bit better than they found it.
