Nollywood actor, Junior Pope Odonwodo, tragically lost in a boat accident in Anam River, Anambra State, has been gracing television screens for years with his amazing presence and talents.
When you have an acne breakout, it can stop you in your tracks. Its happened to all of us; acne is by far the most common skin condition that affects around <a href="https://www.aad.org/media/stats-numbers" id="2869fc62-804b-3039-a4ea-e1b696044f08"> 85% of people at some point </a> in their lives. The good news is that, because its so common, there are hundreds of treatment options - from the spot treatment for the casual bump to more intense prescription regimens for chronic breakouts.
I dont know about you, but lately Ive been at a loss. My hands are chronically dry and no lotion I have in my home has seemed to help. My body has been getting weird rough patches like on my elbows and hips. My feet look like flaky hooves. Spending so much time inside has really thrown my body, and especially my skin, into a tailspin.

As most bearded guys know, having a beard can dramatically change the shape of your face. It can give you a <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/grooming/a25843484/jawline-cosmetic-procedures-men/" id="80b7d132-ed43-336e-aa5f-34f508132719"> superhero jawline </a> or make your face look slimmer, depending on how you trim it. Those same bearded guys know that maintaining a beard can feel like a Sysephian task. Facial hair has a mind of its own and no matter how many <a href="https://www.menshea...
Guys hate wearing <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/grooming/a19526911/best-sunscreens-for-men/" id="eb919f71-af21-3223-aca5-6025a6625a16"> sunscreen </a> . We know not wearing it can have long-term effects on our health, not to mention our short-term comfort, but that knowledge doesnt always translate into practice. Lack of adequate sunscreen usage among men, according to many experts, is an epidemic which leads to men being diagnosed with melanoma <a href="https://www.cancer.org/cancer/m...
The mens grooming section at the drugstore (or Amazon or Target or Whole Foods-or even your local grocery store) contains hundreds more products than it did even a few years ago. To help you sort through shelf after shelf of retinols and pastes, tanners and toners, we at Mens Health called on our most kempt staffers to test them-and comedian/actor Ben Schwartz, too! Turns out the future looks amazing.
Being a reality tv star these days has got to be a lot of pressure. There are group vacations, fancy cocktail parties, outfits you can never wear twice, and hours spent inside little rooms talking directly to a camera. But more than anything, the need to be camera-ready at all times must be all-consuming. Sometimes, that kind of pressure can make a man to go to extremes with his grooming routine, like Vanderpump Rules <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tomsandoval1/?hl=en" id="51df6820-3235-3...
Crumb Catcher. Mouth Brow. Soup Strainer. Whatever you call a mustache, its time you actually grew one. Mustaches are trending hard right now and honestly, they look damn cool. Theres something inherently masculine about a hairy upper lip, especially in a retro lothario kind of way (case in point: Tom Selleck and Burt Reynolds, mustache icons of the 1970s). Wearing a mustache takes confidence and swagger, but can also give more of both of those things.
Its officially sandal season. Your feet have spent a long winter crammed into thick wool socks and heavy boots and now theyre going to be visible. Out of sight, out of mind, right? Okay, but you dont want to send small children (or anyone else) running at the sight of your discolored toenails or flaking callouses. The answer is a pedicure.
As a decades worth of Marvel Universe movies come to a close with the release of Avengers: Endgame, were all feeling a little nostalgic. Weve grown up with these characters, seen their costumes change colors, followed them through increasingly complicated plots with blind trust. And there have been lots and lots of hair styles (Im not just talking about Black Widow).
Walking into the personal care aisle right now can feel like taking the SATs. All the bottles, tubes, and jars are covered in crazy words, and Im not even talking about the ingredients lists. So many labels aggressively let you now that the products inside are sulfate-free, gluten-free, oxybenzone-free, and yes, paraben-free. But why should you care? What are parabens in the first place?
Every mans year can be categorized into two parts: Before the Summer Haircut (BSH) and After the Summer Haircut (ASH). That switch happens, for me, after my first really sweaty ride on the New York City subway, when I look in the mirror and think this mess has got to go. The ritual haircut signals the beginning of summer just as much as the calendar and whether youre ready or not, its that time.
Being a champion UFC fighter requires a certain amount (ok, a lot) of aggression on the job, but Conor McGregor seems to have a hard time leaving work at the office. He was arrested on Monday under strong-arm robbery and criminal mischief charges following an incident where he took and destroyed a fans phone. On Instagram, he admitted he needs to work on his patience. Maybe thats an idea he learned in the court-ordered anger management following his previous brush with the law last year (he w...
If you dont remember Cole Sprouse as the cute little kid from Big Daddy or his pre-teen gig as a Disney Channel star, you should know that the Five Feet Apart star does not have naturally dark hair. This is notable in Sprouses case to illustrate a point we make a lot here at Mens Health: hair is powerful. Were not saying Sprouse hit the big time because hes one of the best-coiffed men of Hollywood, but were also not saying its pure coincidence. Sprouses hair is casual and relaxed with a retro...
In the annals of mens grooming, going platinum blond is not the newest trend, but it is one of the most advanced. Once relegated to rebels and punks, the trend made a come back a few years ago among cool kids like Kanye West and Jaden Smith. Since then, going platinum has gotten the closest to mainstream it ever has.
Bradley Coopers hair is the divining rod of the mens grooming industry. No other male celebrity experiments with his look as freely and purposefully. He clearly understands the power of grooming, not just for his characters, but for himself. When A Star Is Born launched on screens last year, it not only cemented his place as a director, singer, and award-bait, but also as a full-blown grooming icon. His character Jackson Maines shaggy rock star anti-style instantly reached icon status and spu...
The most polarizing debate in mens grooming is <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/grooming/a22979287/how-to-apply-cologne/" id="db96d510-b85f-3b7c-a239-9a76f4e29dc8"> how to properly apply cologne </a> . Its been a hotly discussed topic for decades and if you spend any time on Reddit, youll realize it goes much deeper than you could ever imagined. It turns out there are as many ways to apply cologne as there are stars in the sky or, at least, airplanes. Everyone believes that their way is t...
Winter can be hell on our bodies. With the most brutal temperature dips, we know to protect ourselves from wind burn and frost bite, and even to moisturize our dry skin, but did you know your hair requires a little extra care, too? Its technically part of your skin, which means its subject to environmental changes. Winterizing is particularly important if you have curly hair. Curly and textured hair is already at a disadvantage going into winter time, says celebrity hairstylist David Lopez. I...
