If you’re looking for solid facial products and you’re not sure where to start, then look no further. Kiehl’s Facial Fuel line is a useful product for men that can be an excellent addition to your skincare routine. Kiehl’s, circa 1851, is known for their high quality and successful ingredients. They have been a reliable American staple for more than a century. Cultural icons like Andy Warhol and others have stood behind the company’s products.

The Manual did a little testing on the Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Line on behalf of men everywhere. To start, men who have normal to oily skin should try out this men’s line. Many of the products cleanse and hydrate without drying out the skin. Their products contain menthol, caffeine and citrus ingredients making this a rejuvenating option for those of guys out there with post shave irritation.

It’s not always best to use one product line for your skin. Sometimes its better to find the products that work best for you and combine them. For example, you may have a Kiehl’s cleanser and a Neutrogena daily moisturizer. Other skincare companies may have products that provide better results for your skin type. This can also be a seasonally dependent on your climate and surroundings. Kiehl’s is sold at any Kiehl’s retail location or at Nordstrom’s or Saks Fifth Avenue.

Anforh by Robin James tackles fine & thinning hair with smart, targeted solutions

Robin James and Anfor product

For more than a decade, Robin James has been educating men about grooming products through Man For Himself, the leading men’s grooming platform he founded. Now, after testing countless products, he’s taking a new step: launching his own hair care line, Anforh.

This launch stems from what James identified as a gap in the market. After surveying more than 55,000 men, he uncovered a striking insight: 44% struggle with fine or thinning hair. Anforh’s product line, sustainably formulated and manufactured in the UK, is designed to address this issue for men — or anyone looking for great hair.

Is polyglutamic acid the new super hydration ingredient in skincare?

Polyglutamic acid is revolutionary when it comes to moisturizing

Polyglutamic Acid

The skincare world is full of hero ingredients that do yeoman’s duty in a variety of products, but there's always a "next big thing" ingredient waiting to work its wonders. Hyaluronic acid has been the king of the hill for some time when it comes to moisturizing, but now there's a new contender for the throne.
It’s called polyglutamic acid — PGA for short, and it’s getting a lot of play for one major reason. It’s five times more hydrating than hydraluronic acid (HA), so it’s definitely got a lot to offer, and PGA is starting to turn up in an increasing number of products.
It is, new, though, so there’s a lot to unpack. Specifically, what benefits can you get from PGA? Where is it from, and how is it sourced? Is it easy to add to your skincare routine, or are there some hoops you need to jump through to do that?

Just what is polyglutamic acid?

Man applies spray cologne and smells the fragrance

Packing for a trip means making smart choices — especially when it comes to grooming. If cologne is part of your daily routine, hauling around a full-size bottle just isn’t practical. That’s where travel-size spray colognes come in: same great scent, just in a compact, easy-to-pack version.

And it’s not just about convenience. According to fragrance expert Ben Krigler, sprays with alcohol remain the most stable and long-lasting option, which makes these travel-ready versions even more appealing.
