Unless you’re Santa, you should step up your shaving game. Don’t just drag the razor across your face while speeding through your morning routine. Spend a few extra minutes pre and post shave and try a more moisturizing shaving cream to smooth up your mug. The Art of Shaving offers Peppermint Shaving Cream. It’s scented for the season with a rich, foamy, lather made from soothing essential oils and Glycerin. It will soften your beard and protect your skin from irritation. $27

If you want to be the envy of facial hair enthusiasts everywhere, growing a beard is only half the battle. Once your facial hair goes beyond a certain length, it starts to get messy, and even the best beard-styling products will only get you so far before it’s time to bring out a good power tool (and we do love power tools.) Enter the beard trimmer. Using a good trimmer on the regular may be what some men need to keep their facial beasts under control. Depending on how fast their hair grows, others may want to use one between visits to a barber, maintaining style daily. If you are trying to develop a longer beard, you still need to trim the ends to ensure you keep the hairs strong and healthy, and it will even help them grow faster in some instances.

Either way, there is a wide range of options, from value-priced to expensive, from simple solutions to those with significant horsepower. Most include comb attachments to cut hairs to specific lengths, allowing for elaborate shaping and styling. Cordless models offer convenience with as much power as you should need. Below are some of our picks for the best beard trimmers on the market.

Banish dark circles under your eyes with these steps

If you had a rough night of sleep or day of work, you might want to look in the mirror, get your grooming routine over with, and get on with life.

Then you look closer and notice dark circles under the eyes. If the lighting is fine, the eyes likely aren't playing tricks on you. Dark circles under the eyes are a common bugaboo — right up there with puffy bags in the same location. The two issues are often used interchangeably. However, dark circles under the eyes are different from under-eye bags. Dark circles are discoloration. Under-eye bags are the result of swelling. As a result, some causes are similar — but not all. Understanding the facts about dark circles underneath the eyes can help you find the best fix for you (so maybe you can say "goodbye" to this sight for sore eyes).
