Tattoo Care Is Made Easier with Jack Black’s Ink Boost Kit

By Chelsea Batten Published April 21, 2021

If you’re a reader of this fine publication, you’re someone with a taste for the finer things. You never drink bourbon below the middle shelf, you consume nitrate-free bacon, and if you have a tattoo, you had the good sense to pay good money for it. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Inkmasters (not to mention a few ill-advised experiences in college that we’d rather not share), it’s that you get what you pay for when it comes to tattoos.

A quality tattoo of average size is likely to cost you $500 at a minimum. When you’ve spent that much on a beautiful piece of body art, the last thing you want is to have that investment depreciate as a result of negligence. Alas, leaving your tattoos to the vagaries of weather, age, and fate can result in blurry lines, faded colors, even whole patches of ink disappearing from the piece.

Fortunately, the same things that keep your skin looking fresh, vibrant, and ageless do the same for your tattoo: cleansing, sun protection, hydration, and general cell nourishment. Enter the Buy at Amazon from men’s skincare experts Jack Black.

Part of Jack Black’s Performance Remedy collection, the kit pairs two standby Jack Black products enriched with nourishing essentials that keep tattoos vibrant and protected. The Oil-Free Sun Guard Sunscreen prevents ink from fading or breaking up by providing broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Don’t worry, it’s both water- and sweat-resistant, which means you can still flex that sweet arm piece where it counts (the gym, the beach, the summer music festival, etc.).

The MP 10 Nourishing Oil is a concentrated blend of natural oils derived from argan, baobab, marula, and even watermelon seeds. It infuses skin with intense moisture that enhances colors and adds vibrancy.

If you’re not already caring for your skin (and you should be), make sure to at least protect the investment you’ve made in your tattoo. Combined with other signature Jack Black products, the Ink Boost Tattoo Care kit ensures that your tattoo ages as well as you do.

Anforh: A new solution for fine hair, shaped by 55K+ men’s feedback

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.
