There’s nothing more energizing for your mind, body and spirit like spending time in the great outdoors.

Being in nature has been said to boost your mood, improve your immune system, and reduce anxiety. Need a lift? Celebrate the launch of Dove Men+Care Elements and win a chance to stay in the Elements Treehouse designed by Treehouse Master, Pete Nelson.

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.

Does beard growth oil work? What you should know

Growing the perfect beard is a lifelong quest for some, and though there are plenty of tips to help you grow a beard, sometimes you can benefit from a little outside intervention. You might have seen adverts for beard growth oil and wondered if that would help you grow a thicker and more lustrous beard, along with various other oils for softening or brushes and other tools to help maintain your skin.

There's a lot of options when it comes to the world of facial hair grooming, because for your beard to look full and well groomed, you need to not only trim it to the right shape but also make sure that both the hair and the skin of your face are well looked after and in good condition. You might also just need to be patient, as it can take some time for facial hair to grow in to the length that you want. The basic advice for growing in a beard that looks great are to give it time and make sure you're taking care of your health -- like getting enough sleep, eating a health diet, and taking exercise. But we all know we're supposed to do those things anyway, and there are some products that can help give your beard a nudge along the way.

How often should you change your razor blades?

It's a hassle and an annoyance, but when it comes to your daily shaving ritual something that you absolutely don't want to skip is changing out your razor blade. Trying to shave with a dull razor is bad for your skin and can cause razor bumps, plus creating a higher likelihood of problems like infections, and it will do a poor job of removing hair, resulting in a patchy shave. If you're not up for trying out a straight razor, then you'll need to get into the habit of regularly swapping out the replaceable blades on your razor or using fresh disposable razors instead. Knowing when to swap out your old blades for new ones will help keep your skin happy and your face looking its best, so our guide can help you work out how often you need to change your razor blades.

How often you should change your razor blades
According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, you should change your razor blades or throw away disposable razors after every five to seven shaves. High-quality razor blades should last five to seven shaves if you take care of them properly and keep them clean. However, cheaper disposable razors may wear out sooner.
Signs it’s time to change your razor blades include skin irritation after shaving, a less close shave, patchy areas or spots missed, skin that still feels rough after, dullness of the blades, feeling hairs are getting pulled instead of cut, and excessive friction of the blades across your skin that it feels like you have to drag it over your skin.
Moreover, a razor that has an accumulation of gunk that can’t be rinsed away should be immediately discarded, as this causes nicks and infections by dragging unevenly across your skin and introducing harbored bacteria into your pores.
