There’s nothing worse than arriving at your vacation destination, opening your luggage and realizing your cologne bottle has broken in your suitcase. Solid cologne is the key to smelling great while on the road. Unlike glass bottles of liquid fragrance, they’re easier to pack and won’t drench your wardrobe. Cult beard care brand Beardbrand’s new collection of solid colognes make great travel companions.

Let’s face it, not everyone on your flight will smell so good. But you will, with these new TSA friendly solid colognes. Beardbrand’s Silver Collection of colognes smell just as good as regular spray scents but are made with beeswax and jojoba oil instead of alcohol. Because they have a high concentration of natural fragrances these colognes have staying power. They evaporate less quickly on your skin than traditional liquids, so a little goes a long way. Apply sparingly to your pulse points like wrists, neck and behind the ears to improve your in-flight experience.

Pack these new earthy scents of Spiced Citrus, Tea Tree or Tea Ranger for your shorter journeys as well. Stow them in your gym bag or overnight duffle and smell great while on the fly. All are priced at the low fare of $35.

Spiced Citrus: A warm scent of grapefruit, clove, and vanilla.

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."

A new study suggests the secret to your skincare routine is… strength training?

Forget the face scrubs made from oatmeal and questionable DIY concoctions. Guys, the secret weapon in your anti-aging arsenal might already be hiding in your weight room.

New research shows that building muscle might be the secret weapon you've been missing. A study published in Scientific Reports found that strength training could actually be more effective in reducing signs of aging than cardio, especially for your skin. While the study focused on women, the researchers believe the benefits hold true for men, too.

Want the best cologne for men? These niche fragrances are perfect for spring

It can be a headache (literally) to go into a store and sniff through a hundred fragrance options when trying to find the best cologne for men. The coffee beans in fragrance stores are helpful in resetting your nose so all the scents don’t become indistinguishable from one another. Even still, remembering which scent was which with a sales associate hovering over your shoulder can quickly spoil a fun shopping trip.

Avoiding the hassle of figuring out what your next cologne will be can make it easy to stay stuck to one or two colognes that have been your ride-or-die options for longer than you can remember. Having a signature scent is great–there’s just something endearing about having a loved one say something “smells like you.” But when you realize that your signature scent doesn’t fit every occasion, mood, or season, it’s time for something new.
