Montblanc’s new fragrance is made for the outdoorsman

Montblanc announces new woodsy fragrance

While the summer tends to bring a flurry of citrusy and airy fragrances for men, that doesn’t mean you have to wait for fall to get a woodsy scent. Although darker and woodier fragrances pair well with the colder months, there are still summer colognes out there that are perfect for the everyday outdoorsman. One of the more recent fragrances to follow this path comes from the luxury brand, Montblanc. Known for their luxurious approach to the outdoors and timeless watches, the brand is also home to many must-have scents. As part of their Explorer series, the new Montblanc fragrance is richer and poignant, making it a statement addition to their cologne lineup. While the series was only released in 2019, this latest iteration feels unlike anything they’ve developed before.

Is hard water ruining your hair? Try these expert-backed fixes

What is hard water, and is it ruining your locks? Hair experts share the hard truth

Showering is essential to grooming — and hygiene, really. You also likely know to wash your scalp and locks with a shampoo and conditioner that helps you meet your goals. However, you can follow all the "good pair day" best practices, like not heat styling too much, and still find that your mane feels gunky, dull, and brittle.

There's a chance hard water is raining on your parade and making bad hair days a daily event. Luckily, some hard water hair care tips can help you treat — and better yet, prevent — hard water. Yet, backing up, you may not think of water as "hard" or "soft." If you do think about it, you might consider the essential liquid "soft." Having a baseline for what hard water even means is the first step to determining whether or not it's an issue for your hair.

Dermatologists say this is the only sunscreen rule that really matters

What's the best sunscreen for men? We asked dermatologists

Baz Luhrmann's song and speech reminded us to "always wear sunscreen." While the drumbeat around safe sun protection (and enjoyment) reaches a fever pitch in the spring and summer months — a time of more daylight and outdoor fun — dermatologists share that slathering on SPF is a year-round must. The grocery store and pharmacy have many options from brands you may have used in childhood.

The best sunscreen can vary, but ultimately, the rule of thumb is that "the best sunscreen is the one you’ll actually use," said Viktoryia Kazlouskaya, MD, Ph.D., a dermatologist.
