Your Cooling Summer Face Treatment: Sircuit Skin Cool Aid

Sircuit Skin Cool Aid is a slam-dunk product for the warmer months ahead. It’s a versatile face gel—a cooling aftershave, lightweight moisturizer and anti-ager, that’s crafted using USDA certified organic ingredients.

The sky blue gel, which is actually more like a juicy cream (and one that might be really fun to swim in) absorbs quickly, goes on matte and, unlike most face gels, doesn’t leave your skin with the traction of scotch tape. The scent is light, fresh and is made with essential oils that also pack a punch with purpose—anti-septic/ anti-inflammatory lavender and protective tea tree and orange peels. It won’t clog your pores, irritate skin, sweat off into your eyes or make you feel like you’ve got a layer of shellac on your face. The entire ingredient list, which includes organic aloe vera, marine extracts, arnica flower, argan oil, vitamin E, Japanese mint and a trove of peptides is a skincare aficionado’s equivalent to poetry.

Especially when you start to look at the quality of said composition—Sircuit has made a name for themselves by using something called “chirally correct” forms of their ingredients. The concept of “chiral” can get science- nerd really quick, and you’re free to read more here, here or here, but in simple English, it’s a chemical-free technology that primes an ingredient’s molecules to be optimally received by your body’s skin cells. So the stuff inside the tube is more than just all naturally derived, it’s been hand crafted to near perfection.

While any guy will find the Cool Gel useful, it’s especially helpful if you’ve got oily skin, sensitive or blemish prone skin. And a bonus—the formula is super concentrated so you get a few month’s worth in a TSA friendly 1 fl. oz sized bottle—so you can double Cool Aid up as your sun relief when you jaunt off to far flung beaches this summer.

Sircuit® Skin Cool Aid ($70/1oz.) is available at sircuitskin.com

Heineken jumps into the men’s skincare game with Smootheriser skin cream
The ingredients in this skincare cream are the same as those in the beer

The next time you pour yourself a cold one, take a good look at the head before you quaff that first sip. For that matter, you might want to reconsider the entire beer, because it turns out it has the ability to multitask and lead a double life as a skincare product.
Wait, what?
Yeah, it may come off as a tough concept to swallow, but it turns out it’s true. If your choice of brews is Heineken, you’ll doubtless want to know that the renowned beer company is launching the “Heineken Smootheriser,” a beauty cream that’s blatantly designed to take advantage of the brand’s ongoing popularity in the beer world.

From wine to truffles: The best adult Easter basket ideas
Easter baskets are for adults, too
Easter rabbit

Who says Easter baskets are just for kids? Putting together an Easter basket is almost more fun than receiving one. Gifting or receiving adult Easter baskets make the holiday just as fun (if not more so) for grown-ups. While my taste buds and interests may have evolved beyond chocolate eggs and coloring books, making an adult Easter basket is just as easy.
To get started, you'll consider all the same things you'd put in a child's basket, but you'll select adult-friendly varieties of the same items. Adult Easter baskets can be gifted to your partner, a friend, a family member, or even a co-worker. From premium chocolate to top-tier wines, if you're not sure where to start, these adult Easter basket ideas will help you begin brainstorming.
