The best short beard styles for men: Find the perfect look for your face
Which short beard style is right for you?

The art of growing and caring for your facial hair comes down to personal preference and, yes, arming yourself with the proper grooming knowledge -- particularly when it comes to the best short beard styles for men, as not everyone can successfully rock the burly lumberjack look. It seems that over the past few years, more guys have been exploring tips on how to grow a beard, either for the first time or with a renewed interest after going clean-shaven for years.

That, naturally, has led to a boom in guys appearing on Zoom calls and in-person meetings with facial hair where perhaps, there once was none outside of the month of November for no shave or Movember. After all, if Hollywood's leading men can rock facial hair for years, on and off the red carpet, why can't well-dressed guys everywhere do the same by trying out one of the best men's beard styles? Of course, it's simply not as easy as letting your facial hair run amok: A long, ZZ Top-esque beard simply isn't going to work for everyone, which is what makes short beard styles for men so appealing.

Skinceuticals, Pure for Men, and more: Try these 9 night creams for your skin
Wake up to healthier and younger looking skin with these spectacular night creams

Night cream for men can help in eliminating skin-damaging free radicals and promoting skin recovery while you sleep. Beauty sleep is no myth, as getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep boosts collagen production (as in, fewer wrinkles) and promotes a more glowing complexion. Hence, using the right night cream can really help in accelerating the recovery process.

The right night cream should penetrate deep into your skin in order for the cream's active ingredients like hydraulic acid (for softer, smoother skin) or vitamin C (for better hydration) to reach more of your skin cells. Melatonin-based night creams are handy too — especially in the summer — since they minimize the harmful effects of environmental stressors like UV light.

We’ve all heard the expression, "You are what you eat," and in many ways, it’s true. After all, the foods we eat are broken down into the very nutrients that end up forming and repairing our cells and tissues and carrying out necessary processes in our bodies. Perhaps a more surprising but true modification of this adage could be, "Your skin reflects what you eat." That’s right — the health of your skin is a direct reflection of your gut health, which is affected by your dietary habits.
Due to something called the gut-skin axis, the skin and the digestive tract are in constant communication and inextricably linked. The trillions of bacterial and fungal cells that reside in your gut microbiome digest your food and provide immune protection by warding off pathogens to keep your body and skin healthy.
However, when things like a chronically poor diet or antibiotic use disrupt and damage these microbes, the lining of your digestive tract gets damaged, and it can become leaky. This leads to chronic, low-level inflammation that has been shown to cause acne, atopic dermatitis, rosacea, and other skin conditions. It can also lead to dull, unhealthy, red, or inflamed-looking skin. Therefore, what you eat significantly impacts the health of your gut and skin.

How to get clear skin: Eat these foods
Fortunately, there are plenty of foods for healthy skin that protect it from sun damage, wrinkles, inflammatory conditions, acne, and fine lines. You can nourish your skin cells, protect your gut microbiome, and combat cellular damage. Keep scrolling for the best foods to eat for healthy, vibrant, glowing, clear skin.
