I dont know about you, but lately Ive been at a loss. My hands are chronically dry and no lotion I have in my home has seemed to help.

5 Self-Care Products to Avoid Conor McGregor-Level Rage
Being a champion UFC fighter requires a certain amount (ok, a lot) of aggression on the job, but Conor McGregor seems to have a hard time leaving work at the office. He was arrested on Monday under strong-arm robbery and criminal mischief charges following an incident where he took and destroyed a fans phone. On Instagram, he admitted he needs to work on his patience. Maybe thats an idea he learned in the court-ordered anger management following his previous brush with the law last year (he w...

Guys hate wearing <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/grooming/a19526911/best-sunscreens-for-men/" id="eb919f71-af21-3223-aca5-6025a6625a16"> sunscreen </a> .

Tom Sandoval of ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Gets Botox Above His Ears for This Bizarre Reason
Being a reality tv star these days has got to be a lot of pressure. There are group vacations, fancy cocktail parties, outfits you can never wear twice, and hours spent inside little rooms talking directly to a camera. But more than anything, the need to be camera-ready at all times must be all-consuming. Sometimes, that kind of pressure can make a man to go to extremes with his grooming routine, like Vanderpump Rules <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tomsandoval1/?hl=en" id="51df6820-3235-3...
Here's How to Grow the Perfect Mustache for Summer
Crumb Catcher. Mouth Brow. Soup Strainer. Whatever you call a mustache, its time you actually grew one. Mustaches are trending hard right now and honestly, they look damn cool. Theres something inherently masculine about a hairy upper lip, especially in a retro lothario kind of way (case in point: Tom Selleck and Burt Reynolds, mustache icons of the 1970s). Wearing a mustache takes confidence and swagger, but can also give more of both of those things.
Why Men Should Get Pedicures
Its officially sandal season. Your feet have spent a long winter crammed into thick wool socks and heavy boots and now theyre going to be visible. Out of sight, out of mind, right? Okay, but you dont want to send small children (or anyone else) running at the sight of your discolored toenails or flaking callouses. The answer is a pedicure.

What Are Parabens Exactly? Here's All the Details You Need to Know.
Walking into the personal care aisle right now can feel like taking the SATs. All the bottles, tubes, and jars are covered in crazy words, and Im not even talking about the ingredients lists. So many labels aggressively let you now that the products inside are sulfate-free, gluten-free, oxybenzone-free, and yes, paraben-free. But why should you care? What are parabens in the first place?
The 10 Best Summer Hairstyles for Men 2019
Every mans year can be categorized into two parts: Before the Summer Haircut (BSH) and After the Summer Haircut (ASH). That switch happens, for me, after my first really sweaty ride on the New York City subway, when I look in the mirror and think this mess has got to go. The ritual haircut signals the beginning of summer just as much as the calendar and whether youre ready or not, its that time.
How to Get Cole Sprouse's Effortlessly Cool Hairstyle
If you dont remember Cole Sprouse as the cute little kid from Big Daddy or his pre-teen gig as a Disney Channel star, you should know that the Five Feet Apart star does not have naturally dark hair. This is notable in Sprouses case to illustrate a point we make a lot here at Mens Health: hair is powerful. Were not saying Sprouse hit the big time because hes one of the best-coiffed men of Hollywood, but were also not saying its pure coincidence. Sprouses hair is casual and relaxed with a retro...

How to Get Bradley Cooper’s Low-Key Jackson Maine Hair
Bradley Coopers hair is the divining rod of the mens grooming industry. No other male celebrity experiments with his look as freely and purposefully. He clearly understands the power of grooming, not just for his characters, but for himself. When A Star Is Born launched on screens last year, it not only cemented his place as a director, singer, and award-bait, but also as a full-blown grooming icon. His character Jackson Maines shaggy rock star anti-style instantly reached icon status and spu...

Winter can be hell on our bodies. With the most brutal temperature dips, we know to protect ourselves from wind burn and frost bite, and even to moisturize our dry skin, but did you know your hair requires a little extra care, too?
