Even if you haven’t acquainted yourself with Dollar Shave Club’s shaving wares, you’re probably familiar with the brand’s viral videos. After it achieved razor domination, DSC decided to venture into unfamiliar territory—skincare. Figuring out what that should go into its Protect by Big Cloud line wasn’t too difficult for the brand as they had an almost three million strong built-in focus group in its oft-vocal members. From all those requests, DSC determined its guys desired three things: a matte lip balm, non-greasy hand cream, and moisturizer with SPF.

Big Cloud Good Shake Hand Cream Big Cloud Daily Face Moisturizer

Okay, the last one wasn’t necessarily what they want, but its what they need. Apparently, you guys aren’t naturally inclined to protect your skin because you’ve had a few bad experiences from smearing some drugstore crap made for your body on your face. But DSC aims to change all that with the creatively named Daily Face Moisturizer that feels and behaves like your average face lotion. It just so happens to contain SPF. Bonus!

And then there was a need for hand cream, but unlike women who prefer their hands to feel as if they just applied it, you guys want the hydration minus the actual creaminess. So they whipped up Great Shakes, which moisturizes with Shea Butter and Macadamia Seed Oil but ultimately dries down to a powder-like finish. Though women like their lips shiny and so most lip balms make it so, it’s not a particularly desirable look for guys so Wind Master is totally matte. If this awesome threesome is any indication, we can expect a Dollar Shave Club skincare empire to rival that of its razors. Big Cloud Wind Master Lip Balm Tube

How often should men wash their hair? Experts weigh in

Washing hair in shower

How often should men wash their hair? It's an important question you may not be asking.

"Men aren’t as educated with haircare as women," said Mezei Jefferson, former assistant vice president of education curriculum and digital content for L’Oreal. "Men are growing savvier, but more so in the beard care arena." That means you still may be washing your hair improperly, but that’s a whole complicated matter in its entirety. Let’s just focus on one aspect you’ve been getting wrong for years: Hair washing frequency.
How often should you wash your hair?
You should wash your hair every one to three days, according to Jessica Wu M.D., Los Angeles dermatologist and author of Feed Your Face.
