Hair Type: Thinning (not thin), dry hair
The Look: Hydrated shine
What it does: What’s “cool” are the DHT blockers packed in there that fight the onset of hair loss and the extracts of cucumber and lemon that moisturize. What’s “medium” is the hold, shine, and citrus scent.

We thoroughly enjoyed this review of Salad Days Body Scrub from Nick Stern & Meg from Megsmakeup.com. Not only is it an entertaining read, it gives the ladies with a nice tip on how to get this great-smelling, skin-improving scrub into their man’s shower… Oh, and how to get a little bonus action in there as well. I think we can all agree – good times.
Just if she brings it (Salad Days Body Scrub) over and puts it in the shower, that would be nice and then I would have sex with her in the shower. -NickBilly Jealousy’s Salad Days Body Scrub, $36, billyjealousy.com

For me, a moisturizer is the most important thing between my face and New York City air. My skin drives my crazy, especially in the beginning of fall, when it can’t decide between perspiration and sheer dryness. Recently, I was sent a killer project: a jar of a Billy Jealousy moisturizer called Assassin, and oh, how I love it. Assassin has no scent, goes on thick, yet smooth, and it leaves no residue. As far as I can tell, has really improved my skin, as I’ve had less blemishes than usual, and never feel any dryness throughout the day.
Containing Walnut Seed extract, Teprenone, Sandalwood extract, Barley extract, Avocado oil, and Bisabolol; and lacking parabens, it’s designed to provide nutrients and healthy extracts to moisturizer, firm, and regenerate skin. For a product designed especially for men, it really manages to cover all of your bases.
Available at Billy Jealousy for $30.

Glad you enjoyed the moisturizer, Adam!
“Billy Jealousy’s Hydroplane shave cream is quite possibly one of the best shaving creams of the year. It’s a lotion-style shaving cream that doesn’t foam when applied to your skin; instead its texture is more along the lines of a moisturizer. This product is slick and simple, it offers men the right amount of lubricant yet it avoids the typical added oils and moisture. In return this product is great for those with oily or sensitive skin. To apply this shaving cream, moisten your skin with water, and then rub it in like you normally would, and finally shave. With Hydroplane there’s no need to reapply, it refuses to dry and keeps working even without being re-moistened. Its core ingredient is dimethicone; this is a water-based silicone that builds a super-slick barrier on your skin. While shaving you’ll also notice how easily it washes out of your blade, providing for the lowest gunk and grime possible. Even though the product is on the higher end of twenty dollars, the Hydroplane shaving cream speaks for itself. All together, if you’re looking for a shaving cream that offers the right amount of lubrication, irritation protection and nick protection this is it.”

“I have to admit that I’m not fond of my naturally curly hair. I’ve tried just about everything to get it to look more straight and sleek, from blow drying to using a straightening iron to spraying it with loads of hair spray. People always tell me that I should embrace the wild mess on top of my head, but I hadn’t found a product that worked on my kinky hair to create a curl that I was happy with. That was, until recently anyway. My latest discovery is Ruckus Hair Forming Cream from Billy Jealousy. The texture of this “hair cream” is not as thick or dry as a paste and not waxy as a pomade. Ruckus does exactly what it says it will – forms your hair – and it allows my curls to sit as they naturally would, but gives them a more refined texture and appearance. I’ve let the top of my hair grow a bit longer lately and I’ve absolutely been loving Ruckus for a messy, curly coif. Time to stop fighting and accept what nature gave me. (Well, at least on some days.)”

It’s not every day that a skin care line branches into apparel, but that’s just what is happening at Billy Jealousy for fall.
The upscale men’s grooming and skin care collection inked a licensing deal with Crown & Eagle to produce and distribute a collection of men’s casual sportswear under the Billy Jealousy name, and the line will make its debut at the ENK NYC show.
The initial collection will be focused primarily on tops, both knits and wovens, and will also include sweaters. There will be very few bottoms.
Jonathan Whaley, design director, said the line will blend “Italian elegance, English bespoke, Asian bounce and American cool. Put it all in a blender and you come up with what we’re calling it — American sartorial.” He said that men today dress differently every day of the week and the plan for Billy Jealousy is to “try to take all the elements of what a man wears Monday through Sunday and make it in the best yarns and fabrics.”
Woven shirts in 80s and 100s yarns will retail for around $125, pima polos, lightweight hoodies and rugby shirts will be around $100, and T-shirts are $60. Cotton sweaters will sell for $75 to $85, while cashmeres will be up to $200.
Whaley said target distribution will be to the major department and specialty stores that sell the Billy Jealousy skin care line including Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and upscale specialty stores.
He said there are no immediate plans to market the apparel and skin care elements of the brand together. “The areas are so separate from each other and it’s a logistical problem more than anything else right now, but we’re thinking about it.”

Billy Jealousy Fuzzy Logic Hair Strengthening Shampoo
Let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Thinning hair for men (cough, baldness) is induced when a byproduct of testosterone, called DHT, causes hair follicles to shrink. The good news? This wash contains two DHT-blockers, methyl lactate and peppermint oil, to slow down the process.
