Showering/bathing in not hot water does wonders for dry skin. Doesn't even have to be cold, just as cold as you can stand it.

Currently living for charcoal body wash.I was inundated with Brickell ads and finally decided to pull the trigger on their free sample kit, and I've got to tell you that it's A LOT of substantially-sized samples. I wishes I could afford to fill my cabinet with most of their wares. Their face scrub is the fucking bomb--jojoba beads, pumice, aloe, avocado butter...insanely invigorating. Shit's free yo.

I also tend to buy, uh...fancier denim that hardly wrinkles. I believe it's OK to dry denim on occasion. I also don't think it shrinks each time, but am not entirely sure about it. I'm tall and have difficulty finding jeans that fit and last. The fancier brands usually do me well, and I tend to take meticulous care of them tho. YMMV!Denim doesn't shrink after every wash. Anyone who thinks that is getting fatter after every wash.They don't shrink so much as they go back to their original size. I wear jeans probably 5 times between washings. They start out a little too tight and end up a little too loose. Wash (no dry) and the process starts over again.

Vodka is a suitable aftershave.

I've decided to let my hair grow out for a change, never had long hair. It gets a bit curly once it's past a certain length, and the curls in the back are driving me nuts--I feel like I have a mullet. Thankfully it's starting to get past the awkward phase, but I still don't know what the hell to do with it for work. There's no established policy as far as hair and stuff at my office, but I'm still trying to look somewhat kempt. Any tips for grooming curlier hair in that in-between phase? I tried using hair gel but even using just a little gives it that overly-slick wet look and I just end up looking like the Fallout Boy boy. Letting it air dry, brushing, and then spraying the shit out of it with hair spray has worked alright, but no amount of hair spray is keeping the flippies in the back from going crazy. Once it's long enough I can just pull it back and bun it and be alright. Not crazy about being man-bun guy, but it's a trade-off for keeping it long while I'm in the office.
