Nautica Voyage

It wouldn’t be summer without a Nautica scent, and Voyage is sure to bring you a fresh, citrusy summer feel. Green leaf, apple, and water lotus bring a scent that makes you instantly think of being out in the open water on a sunny day, while the hint of mimosa brings Sunday brunches back into focus.

Coming in under $20 ($17.99 to be exact) is another plus, giving you the high-end smell without the high-end price.

Dior Homme Sport

This Dior fragrance perfectly balances the maturity of heavier, woody scents with the freshness of lighter, fruity notes like blood orange and grapefruit.

Great reviews note that this is long-lasting, so you can enjoy your scent all day without having to reapply. Plus, it’s Dior, one of the biggest names in fragrance and fashion, so you know you’re investing in a high-quality product.

Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Profumo

A list of summer colognes just isn’t complete without Giorgio Armani, particularly Acqua di Gio Profumo. This scent is perfect for those who like an edgier, darker scent for summer. Patchouli and incense blended with marine notes make this the ideal fragrance for summer nights. It’s deep and complex without being as heavy as fall and winter scents.

At $102, it’s on the pricier side since you are paying for a luxury brand. While the price is pretty steep, the raving reviews assure that the investment is well worth it.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue

Another refreshingly light and citrusy fragrance is the aptly named Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana. The inclusion of mandarin, grapefruit peel, and juniper makes for an ocean scent that pairs well with a tropical getaway.

This scent is more complex than your average fruity colognes. The final base notes of pepper and rosewood give it a rugged, mature finish. At $70 for a 2.5-ounce bottle, this is also on the more expensive end, but it’s a fair price to pay for one of the biggest names in luxury fashion.

For those long summer evenings filled with good food and even better friends, a fragrance that matches the mood is a must. Colognes should enhance the environment and match your personality, whether it’s darker sandalwood or brighter citrus, and these men’s fragrances will make sure you keep those summer memories going. Keep in mind, though, a little goes a long way, so spritz with a light hand.

The complete guide to men’s winter skin care

Women aren’t the only ones who need to have a solid skincare routine for the cold months. Both men and women experience itchy skin, dryness, and rough patches when the frosty air takes its toll. If you're a guy and don't want to deal with uncomfortable tightness, cracking, and peeling all winter long, then you need to get your winter skincare lineup in order now.

What should men use on their faces in the winter?
During the winter it’s all about moisturizing. To combat the drying caused by colder weather you need a great moisturizer and a hydrating face cleanser.
Face wash
For the winter you want to look for a face wash specifically for dry skin. Those that replenish your skin’s natural oils are best. Face washes with oils like olive and jojoba will restore your skin’s natural barrier while getting rid of bacteria and dirt.
Moisturizer
Look for products with green tea and aloe vera. You want to stay away from anything with a synthetic fragrance, which will further dry your skin out. Make sure you apply moisturizer twice a day, after your shower and either in the morning or before bed.
Beard oil
Many men grow a beard to help protect their faces during winter. If you're one of them, you need to keep that beard soft. Choose a beard oil that has ingredients like jojoba, olive, coconut, sunflower, and argan oils, which will help moisturize not only the beard but the skin underneath.
What is the best facial cleanser for aging skin?
If you are worried about aging skin in the winter, there are face cleansers that can draw out impurities and smooth uneven skin. The best facial cleanser for aging skin is one that rebuilds the moisture barrier. Antioxidants will improve your skin’s elasticity and soothe any irritations.
Which is the best face wash for daily use?
Some cleansers dry your face when you use them every day. In the winter, that can spell disaster for your skin. You need a daily face wash that has hydrating ingredients to keep your skin from flaking and peeling.

How you can prevent ‘lip eczema’ and protect your lips this winter

The weather outside is about to get frightful, and the effects the chillier temperatures will have on our lips may not be so delightful.
You’ve likely heard of eczema as it relates to your skin. However, it can also affect your lips. If you have it, you’ll probably know it. Symptoms of lip eczema include dryness and flakiness, a red rash in the lip area, itching, pain, and inflammation. It may come and go throughout the winter or chronically stick around until the weather warms.
Though winter can be a busy time for people, giving your lips a little extra TLC to help them deal with the elements is essential. Here are some top tips on how to protect lips in the winter.

Why do my lips hurt in the winter?
There’s a science behind why winter doesn’t exactly get a warm welcome from our lips. Unlike other parts of our body, the skin on our lips doesn’t have oil glands to help protect them from the elements, experts share. As a result, they’re more prone to becoming dry and flakey and cracking.
It’s not just the weather outside, either. Indoors, where many people spend most of their time when it’s cold, the heat has a tendency to dry out the air—and our lips.
When our lips feel dry, we may naturally lick them to try to regain some moisture. The problem? Ironically, licking your lips actually dries them out more, and the enzymes in saliva designed to digest food serve as irritants. If you put a product, like lip balm, on your lips, licking them may remove it. It becomes a cycle, and it increases the likelihood of developing lip eczema.
