Juniper Ridge Desert Denim Wash

How long do you go before you wash your jeans? We know that those of you who either want to keep your denim looking brand new and those of you who don’t do laundry regularly probably go through long periods without washing your jeans. That makes for the potential for smelly pants. One of our favorite grooming labels, the California-based Juniper Ridge was probably thinking about that problem when they developed Desert Denim Wash, which isn’t actually a wash for your denim, but rather a strong fragrance that’s crafted in small, seasonal batches and smells like “you’ve spent all day among the wildflowers in California’s high-desert country” that you can use to revive your jeans after daily wearing. It’s like Febreze for The Manual man.

The fragrance contains notes of desert cedar, pine pitch, sun washed granite, Mojave sunflower, yucca bloom, greasewood, and sawdust.

“It’s just like lying on your sleeping pad after a campfire dinner in the warm-air desert woodlands of the Mojave with a sky full of bright desert stars.” explains Hall Newbegin, founder of Juniper Ridge, on the company’s website. “Those desert trees and plants- desert piñon, cedar, desert lavender, ambrosia – just hunker down all day in the sun. But then when it cools down in the evening, they spring back to life and open up with this gorgeous, intoxicating resinous smell. That’s what’s in there — not an imitation of it, but the real stuff from that place!“

So use it to freshen up your room, or to actually spruce up your jeans in between washing. After wearing your jeans day after day, your friends and girlfriend will thank you.

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?

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.
