The consumption of green tea is largely believed to have started in China around 2737 BC. In this era, long before fancy research studies were being conducted or technologies that give insight into medical benefits were created, the Chinese already knew to harness the value of this natural polyphenol and antioxidant.

Where did this year go? We’re already half way through it, which means Dad’s Day is just around the corner. This has traditionally been one of the more difficult gift-giving holidays to shop for…at least for most of us. Dads just don’t tend to talk about new things they want, unless it’s that ’66 Shelby Cobra they’ve long lusted over.

Despite your best efforts to keep your skin shielded from sunburn every once in a while the inevitable happens, particularly if you are the outdoor type. (If you’re not protecting your skin…tsk-tsk…read this!) Hopefully this will not be your fate as we head into the 4thof July weekend, but if it is, how can you heal and repair the overexposed skin?

It’s been said that eyes are the window to the soul. But the feature that should be our most appealing one can instead quickly turn into a glaring signal that we, too, are aging. It’s something no man wants to think about, but as we grow older, wrinkles and dark circles become harder to ignore.

When it comes to general nutrition advice and tips for skincare, it can often seem like all you find are lectures that spout off plentiful things you shouldn’t do. This type of help can be deflating, and leave you wondering what on earth you should do to achieve the results you want. What will actually steer you closer toward optimal skin (and body) health?

While the name may cause you to shiver and think of ice, freezing peptides actually have nothing to do with a cold temperature. Instead, these youth-reclaiming agents are responsible for making your facial muscles relax, thereby reducing wrinkles.

When you’re young, wrinkles seem like something that only affects you when you approach the golden years. But depending on your lifestyle and the overall health of your skin, lines can appear on your face far earlier than you may expect.

There are few people who wouldn’t immediately know the name Ryan Reynolds if asked. Most of us conjure up an image of the suave actor in one of his superhero roles with his charming good looks and abs we can only dream of having (don’t you just hate the guy? I jest).

While everyone is talking about the latest electronic trends coming out of CES, and the technologies to watch this year, we thought it just as important to highlight some of the top skin care ingredients for 2016.

Being a “Classic Man” isn’t about birthright, how much money you have, or social status – it’s the pursuit of an ideal. That ideal is open to individual interpretation of course, but we like to think in addition to being an all around outstanding human being, it also includes taking impeccable care of your skin.

Earlier this month, we all reveled as the Denver Broncos defense took the team to Super Bowl victory. Indeed, they were dialed in the entire game. And while their defense was credited for getting the team to world championship, the entire team has plenty to celebrate.

GQ recently wrote an article about how what you eat impacts the health of your skin. While this most certainly is true (we’ve written about it here), it is just one piece of the equation.

That darn charming Henry Cavill with his British accent and Superman-esque build – he is rapidly becoming a favorite among the ladies and one to be admired among the fellas. Of course he’s in the spotlight right now for one of the year’s most anticipated flicks, “Batman v.
