Start your day with some minty freshness. Try Mister Pompadour’s Peppermint Shampoo and Conditioner Shower Experience. As the hero ingredient, Peppermint does more than just make this stuff smell good. With antiseptic and antibacterial properties Peppermint oil is used to treat a number of scalp ailments. And, the benefits are more than just skin deep. According to Livestrong.com when used in aromatherapy “Peppermint oil is a natural stimulant that can increase your ability to concentrate during mental fatigue or stress. It can also boost your mood and help alleviate jet lag.”

Give it a whirl and start with Mister Pompadour’s Peppermint Shampoo and Conditioner duo.

Peppermint Shampoo

This shampoo gets your hair nice and clean without stripping the moisture from your mane. Peppermint oil soothes and cools down itching and irritation. It also stimulates circulation to help heal the scalp. Added Tea Tree oil moisturizes and promotes hair growth. Use it everyday! It will remove dirt and oil without drying or damaging your hair. Mister Pompadour recommends using a small amount, about the size of a nickel will do the trick. Lather up and let it rest for sixty seconds before rinsing with warm water.

Peppermint Conditioner

Its okay to skip shampooing and even considered healthy for your hair to do so. However, you should still use a little conditioner on the off days. It will lock in moisture, protect your hair and nourish your scalp. Mister Pompadour’s Peppermint Conditioner is infused with; you guessed it, natural Peppermint oil along with other moisturizing botanicals, vitamins and nutrients. Don’t rush the conditioning process. Leave it on for a full sixty seconds or even longer. Give the product a chance to really sink in so it can protect and moisturize your hair and scalp.

Finish up with Peppermint Pomade

This is the potion Jon Hamm used to get his hair just right for the Emmys. Peppermint Pomade won’t way your hair down. It has medium hold and high shine without being overly greasy. It will wash out easily and is made from all natural ingredients. After washing, towel-dry your hair, apply a little pomade and use a comb or your fingers to shape your minty fresh look.

Does beard growth oil work? What you should know

Growing the perfect beard is a lifelong quest for some, and though there are plenty of tips to help you grow a beard, sometimes you can benefit from a little outside intervention. You might have seen adverts for beard growth oil and wondered if that would help you grow a thicker and more lustrous beard, along with various other oils for softening or brushes and other tools to help maintain your skin.

There's a lot of options when it comes to the world of facial hair grooming, because for your beard to look full and well groomed, you need to not only trim it to the right shape but also make sure that both the hair and the skin of your face are well looked after and in good condition. You might also just need to be patient, as it can take some time for facial hair to grow in to the length that you want. The basic advice for growing in a beard that looks great are to give it time and make sure you're taking care of your health -- like getting enough sleep, eating a health diet, and taking exercise. But we all know we're supposed to do those things anyway, and there are some products that can help give your beard a nudge along the way.

How often should you change your razor blades?

It's a hassle and an annoyance, but when it comes to your daily shaving ritual something that you absolutely don't want to skip is changing out your razor blade. Trying to shave with a dull razor is bad for your skin and can cause razor bumps, plus creating a higher likelihood of problems like infections, and it will do a poor job of removing hair, resulting in a patchy shave. If you're not up for trying out a straight razor, then you'll need to get into the habit of regularly swapping out the replaceable blades on your razor or using fresh disposable razors instead. Knowing when to swap out your old blades for new ones will help keep your skin happy and your face looking its best, so our guide can help you work out how often you need to change your razor blades.

How often you should change your razor blades
According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, you should change your razor blades or throw away disposable razors after every five to seven shaves. High-quality razor blades should last five to seven shaves if you take care of them properly and keep them clean. However, cheaper disposable razors may wear out sooner.
Signs it’s time to change your razor blades include skin irritation after shaving, a less close shave, patchy areas or spots missed, skin that still feels rough after, dullness of the blades, feeling hairs are getting pulled instead of cut, and excessive friction of the blades across your skin that it feels like you have to drag it over your skin.
Moreover, a razor that has an accumulation of gunk that can’t be rinsed away should be immediately discarded, as this causes nicks and infections by dragging unevenly across your skin and introducing harbored bacteria into your pores.
