Earth Day is almost here as we have been cruising through Earth Month. Hopefully, by now, you're using better-quality men's grooming products. If not, let Earth Day be the opportunity to switch to cleaner ingredients that are free of parabens, phthalates, and other harmful chemicals. However, finding natural grooming products that are both effective and eco-friendly can be a challenge. Some brands claim to be natural but still use synthetic ingredients, while others are plainly poorly made.

To help you in your mission to embrace natural, sustainable brands in the grooming industry, we've put together a selection of high-quality brands that are effective and earth-friendly. You can trust these brands to use only the best natural ingredients to help you achieve your great look without harming the environment. Join us in celebrating Earth Day by making the switch to natural grooming products today.

Banish dull skin once and for all with these tips and insights
a bunch of serums in a row

You wake up, look in the mirror, and find yourself doing a double-take—and not for good reasons. You may notice your skin looks rather blah and even gray — isn't hair what goes gray?

Having dull skin can also be about more than looking your best (though there's no shame if that's your primary pain point). Sometimes, dull skin includes side effects like patchiness, increased sensitivity, itchiness, and flakes. None of these symptoms will make you feel your best, either.

Now that the 1990s are back, we are starting to explore some of the fashion trends of the decade that brought us the rise of the flannel and the brightly colored neons and fluorescents. Of course, clothing is just the start. Accessories, shoes, and even entertainment are beginning to reach back into the 90s vault. Hair is another place where we as a society are looking backward to the 90s for inspiration. That means it is time to reexamine the crew cut and whether or not it is the right cut for you.

Like many things in men's style, the crew cut can be traced back to both the military and the Ivy League campuses.
