Your girlfriend will want you to have this product

By Ann Binlot Published August 6, 2021

There are throngs of anti-aging products out there for women, but what about for men? As you get older and older there’s no turning back. You have to face the hard truth and start taking care of your skin. Moisturizers, anti-wrinkle serums and sunscreen will do the trick, but how do you know what’s good for you? The grooming industry is so under regulated that sometimes you’re getting some extra additives in your product.

That’s what the group of guys who started TAUN Skin Care were thinking as they began to approach their thirties. They decided to take matters into their own hands and develop their own line of skincare products. “Through countless hours of research with chemists, dermatologists and speaking with customers, TAUN introduced their Facial Repair Formula,” they explain. “With a slew of impressive active ingredients and a bent towards natural skin care, it is the best product available in a market sorely missing this sort of quality.”

Plus, it’s small batch, vegan friendly, and you get a refund if you’re not satisfied after 30 days. Our kind of product!

Your beard is a part of your aesthetic ... your look that people know you by. The manly appearance of a good face mane is one of the most stylish aspects for men today. And yet, some of us just can't seem to get the look right. You could be going for something resembling stubble more than anything else. Or you could be looking for a long and flowing beard. Either way, you need the right grooming products to get the job done.

Luckily for you, we have pulled straight from the annual The Manual Grooming Awards to put together the best step-by-step routine to get your beard looking as good as you do.

What are peptides, and do you really need them in your skincare routine?

What are peptides, and should you be using them? We asked dermatologists.

Anti-aging solutions are a dime a dozen on TikTok. Ditto for skincare miracles, more generally. Peptides for skin solutions are having a moment on the social media platform. Videos containing the hashtag #peptides have nearly 400 million views. What gives? It's a tale as old as time.

"There is a huge demand for anti-aging solutions, as the population wants to look as young as they feel," said Viktoryia Kazlouskaya, MD, PhD, a dermatologist in New York City. "Along with sunscreens and retinoids, peptides are gaining more and more popularity as skin anti-aging agents."

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.
