Deodorant isn’t necessarily something you use only once a day, nor is it something you can’t have more than one of. While we tend to like the Old Spice High Endurance deodorant offerings, especially when it comes to working out or going to a big interview, there are other times where a slightly less potent and more fragrant deodorant can come into play.You don’t always need a heavy duty, all day strength type of deodorant.

Many cologne manufacturers have come out with body lotions, shaving creams, shower gels, and deodorants that come in the same scent as their cologne counterparts. Try this one by Issey Miyake ($22). It works alongside his L’eau D’Issey, in the event you wear that cologne, but works just as well on its own. The light scent keeps you feeling and smelling clean without being overpowering, and it will keep you just as dry your other stuff.

If you just happen to be in the market for a new body wash, try Zest’s Ocean Energy. Its energizing scent wakes you up while the bubbly lather leaves your body feeling clean and smelling fresh without drying out the skin. Although it's also available in the traditional bar form, the liquid version lathers up better and there are no worries about someone else leaving their remnants behind.

Buy it: @ your local grocery store, Wal-Mart, or Target for right around $4.

Splurge Alert: For another amazing body wash that's a little more on the pricey side, try Molton Brown’s Warming Eucalyptus Bath & Shower Therapy ($25). The gel-like consistency lathers up nicely and blesses the nostrils with a sinus-clearing burst of eucalyptus. The warming properties help relax tired muscles and the subtle scent lasts all day making those that get close to you happy they did.

If you look in the mirror and see a few wayward hairs peeking out from inside the nostrils or in or around the ears, then this post is for you.

How to handle it on the cheap: Luckily, these unruly hairs are probably the easiest to take care of.

These handy little gizmos come in all....

The problem with cologne is—or at least it seems—that some people just simply do not know how it should be worn, as evidenced by this and this, for starters. If you wear it properly, people shouldn’t really smell it unless you’re right up next to them, and even then it should be nothing but a subtle pleasantry.

The art, then, is obviously in the application. The best time to go about applying cologne is right after your shower but before....

Aside from perhaps brushing your teeth or taking a shower, there are few daily rituals as important as using face lotion, especially if you happen to have a regular occurrence of dry skin. Some experts even say the use of face lotion can help reduce the chance of accumulating wrinkles and lines, and besides, a nicely moisturized face just looks a lot more appealing than a dry, flaky one.

So, as long as you’re moisturizing your face, you might....
