I am a metrosexual; I read GQ, practice yoga, wear pink, “man scape” and like my male beauty products. I also spend a lot of time outdoors and in the pool. The sun, chlorine and the brutal Santa Ana winds (that blow regularly where I live) leave my skin dry and irritated. Few men’s products [...]

Are you a man approaching middle age and desperately clinging to your youthful cachet? Then the Billy Jealousy line of health and beauty aids is just the salve to ease your gradual decline into mediocrity. Self mockery aside, I wholeheartedly endorse the brand.
