Sometimes, though, there are easy solutions to issues you thought were real challenges — like your bad knee, what may or may not be a small amount of hair loss, or an itchy beard. There are things to help. And these are often easy, inexpensive, and readily available. You just have to know about them. That’s why I’m here to tell you.

The scalp massager that exfoliates your head

The simple act of using this exfoliating scalp massager when you shampoo can bring enormous benefits to your hair.

It keeps my energy up without crashing or feeling jittery.” This is a pack of 10.

06

A body wash that helps alleviate skin ailments while you bathe
