Recent HuffPost reporting revealed that readers are interested in addressing a lesser-discussed phenomenon that happens to our bodies as Father Time ticks on: “old person smell.”

Also called nonenal odors, experts have previously told us that this type of smell is different from regular BO and tends to have a mild to moderate organic or musty smell that varies from person to person.

“It typically develops as we age through the breakdown of fatty acids in skin lipids, and its production increases in both men and women starting around age 40,” said Los Angeles-based board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Maryam Safaee.

Nonenal emissions can be significantly reduced by using soaps and other skin care topicals that contain tannins (though large randomized trials are lacking to fully prove this, according to previous guidance from experts).

″[Tannins] neutralize the odor molecule after it’s already formed, block the skin process that creates it in the first place, reduce the oily secretions that fuel it, and kill the bacteria that make it worse,” Safaee said.

According to our experts and other reputable sources, tannins and tannic acid can be derived from a few different ingredients, such as willow bark, witch hazel, green tea extract, and, the one we’re most familiar with, persimmon. In fact, we’ve been documenting the popularity of one highly rated Japanese persimmon soap that claims to be formulated just for this purpose.

According to Safaee, the back of the neck is a particularly high-output area for nonenal odors due to its concentration of skin glands, so she suggests taking extra care to apply and use your desired product in that area.

You can learn more about this bar soap below, as well as other tannin-containing body and skin care products recommended by Safaee and our ingredient list-scouring team.

If you’re past the age of 40 and still eating like the young slip of a thing you used to be (before time, life and your 15-year college reunion), aging experts would like to have a word.

While being in your 40s puts you clearly in what might be called “middle adulthood,” the specter of old age is looming on the horizon. The good news is that how you handle the next few decades can play a role in the type of old age you end up having.

We talked to experts in the study of aging and longevity to see what eating habits they noticed in their liveliest, sprightliest patients. They offered up some ideas about ways to fill your plate now to set yourself up for more daily energy and vitality now, as well as for a rich and ripe old age a few decades in the future.

Think you’ve got plenty of time before protecting your old age? Actually, these experts say your 40s are a great time to start laying a base of more nutritious choices, because what you start (or stop) doing now could extend your life expectancy significantly.

Dr. Amit Shah is a geriatrician and internal medicine physician at Mayo Clinic. He pointed to a modeling study whose results were published in the “Public Library of Science,” a peer-reviewed, open-access medical journal. “The study concluded that 40-year-olds switching from a typical Western diet to an optimal diet, with increased legumes, nuts and whole grains, along with less red meat and processed meat, could increase life expectancy by approximately 10 years for women and 11.7 years for men.”

Adding 10 years or more to your lifespan means more years to blow out birthday candles, go on vacation, take long walks with friends and spend time with grandchildren. Interested? Shah already mentioned a few examples of “optimal diet” choices that could help you get there, and we followed up by asking about specific foods and eating habits that might make the biggest difference. Here are the experts’ top picks:

Shah feels strongly that the more plants you enjoy, and the less meat you consume, the better your odds are for a long and healthy old age.

“The single dietary habit most consistently observed in individuals who age exceptionally well is long-term adherence to a predominantly plant-based, minimally processed dietary pattern,” he said.

Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian is a cardiologist, public health scientist and director of the Food is Medicine Institute at Tufts University. He says, as long as you’re not allergic to them, nuts and seeds are an incredibly healthful choice. “They’re remarkable life-giving packages of healthy fats, fibers, phenolics and other bioactives,” he said. “Gram for gram, nuts are one of the most potent foods out there, and they’re currently widely underconsumed by Americans.”

Shah agreed and included legumes (beans, lentils, peas and peanuts) as well, saying, “Based on current evidence, adding nuts and legumes to the diet may have the largest reduction in mortality based on the best studies we have.”

“I’ve learned that protein is important for building muscle, and many of us, particularly women, don’t get enough,” said Dr. Lucinda A. Harris, a professor at the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine. Some researchers in longevity and geriatric nutrition, including her, think that older adults need significantly more than the current RDA for protein of 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight, and closer to 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram. An example is a 150-pound person whose RDA is 54 grams of protein per day, but would need almost double that amount, about 109 grams of protein, to reach 1.6 grams per kilogram.

This matters because adequate protein plus exercise is needed to build muscle mass. “Building muscle helps prevent insulin resistance, which in turn helps prevent fatty liver, a current epidemic in this country, along with obesity,” Harris said.

Dr. David Agus is a medical oncologist, CEO and founder of the Ellison Medical Institute, and author of “The Book of Animal Secrets: Nature’s Lessons for a Long and Happy Life.” He said that you should aim to chew more and sip less. “We were designed to chew food, and our GI system developed to absorb food, not shakes, smoothies or handfuls of supplements,” he said. “Once you start processing food, you get less benefit from it.” He simplified his message this way, saying: “We were made to eat oranges, not drink orange juice.”

While she’s an advocate of eating less sugar in general, Harris offered this happy thought, stating: “A little bit of dark chocolate is still good.”

It turns out that those who work with older adults have plenty of anecdotal evidence about what the lifestyle of those they notice are doing best to age happily and healthily. What do those folks have in common? One factor is maintaining a “Goldilocks” weight — not too much and not too little. Shah said, “You need to achieve balance with a healthy weight. Beyond age 65, it can be as dangerous to be underweight as it is to be overweight.”

Other longevity factors were noted by Jenny Witherspoon, a registered dietitian specializing in aging services and oncology nutrition at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. She said there are a few key habits among those who do better in old age. “For one thing, they tend to eat mostly ‘actual food,’ not just food-like products,” she said. “I’ve noticed that movement is a normal part of their lifestyle, not an occasional reset. And they typically don’t drink alcohol.” She summed, saying, “The best agers aren’t perfect, but they’re consistent with real food, regular movement and little-to-no alcohol.”

“The diets I recommend to my patients are the Mediterranean diet, the DASH diet and the MIND diet, which combines the two to optimize brain-health and reduce risk of dementia,” Shah said. “They can all be adapted to foods in any culture.”

Agus agreed, noting that in randomized studies, “the best results are found in the Mediterranean diet.” Harris also supports the Mediterranean diet, and says that those who follow it tend to eat less processed food, more fruits and vegetables and good fats like olive oil.

Finally, Witherspoon said that the best eating plan is one that’s realistic and sustainable. “It needs to be something a person can follow consistently, so choose an evidence-based eating pattern you can stick with, and pair it with exercise for the biggest payoff,” she said. “Start with the basics, focus on consistency and build a routine you can live with.”

I sat at my kitchen table with a pen in my hand and a blank sheet of paper in front of me, like I was about to take an exam I hadn’t studied for.

At the top, I wrote: Things I Like To Do.

Then I stared at it.

Nothing came to me. No hobbies. No interests. Not even one small thing I could write without forcing it.

I laughed, more out of disbelief than humor. I’d just stepped away from a long, demanding career. Everyone told me this was the part where I finally got my life back. Now you can do what you love, they said. So I tried again the next day. Same blank page. And the day after that.

By day three, it wasn’t funny anymore. It was unsettling in a way I didn’t know how to explain without sounding ungrateful. I’d earned this freedom. I was supposed to feel relieved. Instead, I felt depressed and, honestly, a little scared.

Because the question on the blank page was bigger than hobbies: What if I don’t know who I am when I’m not needed?

For most of my adult life, my identity came with a job description. In corporate life, competence isn’t just rewarded; it becomes your personality. You become the calm one when everyone else is spinning. The one who decides under pressure. The one people rely on when the stakes are high. At home, it’s easy to slip into a similar role: the one who keeps everything moving.

You don’t wake up one day and decide to lose yourself. It happens quietly, over years. Your preferences get bumped down the list because there’s always something more urgent. You eat what works. You go where the family wants to go. You do what the job demands. You tell yourself you’ll get to you later.

And then, one day, later shows up.

After I moved to Madison, Wisconsin, and fully stepped away from my corporate career, people asked the question like it was casual.

“So what do you like to do now?”

I remember smiling like I had an easy answer. I remember my mind reaching for something, anything, and coming up empty. I said something vague and safe: “Oh, you know… I’m figuring it out.”

Then I went home and tried to actually figure it out. That’s how I ended up at the kitchen table with that blank sheet of paper.

So when the empty feeling showed up, I did what high performers do when something feels uncomfortable: I tried to solve it. I looked up hobbies like I could order a personality online. I asked friends what they did for fun and wrote their answers down like I was studying. I told myself I was just adjusting. But the truth was simpler, and harder to admit: I didn’t know what I liked because I hadn’t practiced liking things.

The depression didn’t arrive like a thunderstorm. It arrived like fog.

It was waking up with nothing urgent on the calendar and still feeling anxious. It was the guilt of having “earned” rest and not knowing what to do with it. It was wondering, in the quiet, if something was wrong with me.

One morning I stood in my closet staring at my clothes, realizing I didn’t even know how I wanted to present myself anymore. That sounds small, but it didn’t feel small.

Work had decided so much for me for so long: what mattered, where I needed to be, how I should show up. Without it, I was staring at a life with choices and no clear sense of myself as the chooser.

Eventually, I did something that wasn’t part of any plan.

I started walking.

At first, it was just a way to get out of the house — a way to move the restlessness through my body instead of letting it sit in my chest all day.

The Ice Age Trail has this steady honesty to it. It doesn’t care who you used to be. It just asks you to take the next step.

Most mornings, I’d come home from the trail with my cheeks cold, my legs awake, and my mind quieter than it had been in weeks.

And then, almost without thinking, I started journaling. It wasn’t a cute morning routine with a perfect notebook and a candle and a quote about gratitude. Mine looked more like someone trying to breathe.

Some days, it was messy. Some days, it was angry. Some days, it was one line that made me cry because it was so blunt: I don’t know who I am anymore. But the page didn’t interrupt me. It let me tell the truth. And when you tell the truth consistently, even privately, you start to hear yourself again.

At first, it wasn’t some dramatic discovery of passion. It was smaller: I started noticing what I missed, what made me feel lighter and how often I dismissed my own preferences like they were optional. Over time, the writing shifted. My scribbles started to have a pulse. They weren’t just thoughts on paper. They were stories. They were reflections. They were my voice, clearer than it had been in years.

I didn’t set out to write anything for other people. I was trying to find myself. But eventually, I shared a small piece of what I wrote. What surprised me was how many people recognized themselves in it — not with applause, but with relief.

“I thought it was just me,” I heard again and again.

That’s when I understood my story wasn’t only about retirement. It was about what happens when your life has been built around being useful, and then usefulness stops being the center of your day.

When you’re no longer performing, you finally have to face the question underneath everything: Who am I when nobody needs me?

The journaling eventually became more than journaling. It grew into writing I was brave enough to stand behind. It led to work I never expected (writing, speaking, teaching).

But the most important thing it gave me wasn’t a new career path.

It gave me myself.

I began to recognize my own preferences again. I began to trust my own voice. I began to build an identity that wasn’t borrowed from a title, a role or other people’s needs. And once I started doing that, the blank page didn’t feel like proof of failure anymore. It felt like a starting point.

If you’re reading this and thinking, That’s me. I’m in that empty place, I want to offer you the one thing I wish someone had said to me without turning it into a pep talk: The blank page doesn’t mean there’s nothing inside you. Most of the time, it means you’ve been needed for so long that you stopped listening to yourself.

But identity isn’t something you “find” like a lost wallet. It’s something you rebuild when you stop performing long enough to listen.

For me, it began with a simple rhythm: a morning workout (a walk on the Ice Age Trail or time at the gym), then a notebook, and then one honest sentence.

It wasn’t a reinvention plan or a grand announcement. Just a quiet return. And that return changed my life because it gave my days a shape again.

Most mornings, I’m up early, either out on the trail or headed to the gym. For a long time, I assumed “the gym” meant a treadmill and then going home. One day I tried a Les Mills Pump class, and I stood in the back of the studio thinking, This is not for me. Everyone looked like they knew what they were doing. I kept glancing at the clock, waiting for it to be over.

Halfway through, I realized I wasn’t counting the minutes anymore. I was paying attention. I was sweating. I was laughing at myself when I got the moves wrong, and then trying again. I walked out feeling steady and energized in a way I hadn’t felt in years. Now those classes are something I look forward to, not something I “should” do.

That surprise opened the door to other small surprises. I’ve found I like quiet, unhurried things: putting together a jigsaw puzzle at the kitchen table with a cup of tea; playing word games that give my brain something to chase (I’m embarrassingly competitive about the rankings); getting my hands in the dirt and imagining what the garden will look like after I pull the weeds and plant the flowers. I read more nonfiction now, too, and I don’t race through the pages the way I used to.

I also discovered something else I didn’t know I needed: permission to stop. Some afternoons, I take a short nap and wake up without guilt. I still can’t believe how hard that used to feel.

On weekends, I give myself permission to be “off.” I’ll take a longer walk, browse a bookstore, linger in a coffee shop or call a friend without multitasking. None of it looks impressive. That’s the point. It feels like mine.

The person I thought I’d lost wasn’t gone. She was waiting for me to come back and ask her what she wanted, without rushing past the answer.

Sometimes that’s all it takes to begin again.

Few places on your body can indicate your age, lifestyle and health changes more than your eyes and the ultra-sensitive skin around them. From insomnia-imposed nights to natural aging to health conditions, the eyes are the windows to a little more than the soul, I’d argue. Luckily, we found a handy retinol eye stick that reviewers are loving for how it addresses everything from fine lines, eye bags, puffiness, dark circles and more. While they’re not saying it works exactly like Botox, they are calling it a “wonder of wonders” that produces impressive results fairly quickly. ” The icing on the cake: It’s freaking only $10 — at least today.

Retinol is the guest of honor for restoring smoothness, of course. Meanwhile, bakuchiol shows up like a hype man to help boost the retinol’s efficacy while helping to calm the sensitivity that retinol can create. Hyaluronic acid joins the dance floor with moisture-surging and plumping moves. Then, squalene and vitamin E operate like bouncers to by providing barrier protection, moisturization and skin repair, respectively.

“I don’t look 20 again, but I think it has taken about 10 years off of me,” one reviewer, Susan, shared about the crow’s feet smoothing she’s seeing after using the stick.

People are using it for crow’s feet, undereye bags, their necks, chest wrinkles (often emerging from side-sleeping, by the way) and more! One 78-year-old man, RD, uses it on an enduring “11” that has formed on his forehead over time, and notes that he saw long-lasting improvement after a few fails with other products.

Another 42-year-old reviewer notes that their neck began to smooth out within two weeks of swiping the retinol stick there faithfully.

“I was convinced the only sure thing to do for MY wrinkles was to get Botox, which is expensive, at least for me,” shopper Lynette shared.

“But I did try it and I am Amazed… It does what it says it will do and it does what all of the reviews have said it will do… didn’t have to pay upwards of Hundreds of Dollars for something that I wasn’t even sure would help [or] that I would end up throwing away with all of the other products I have tried in the past.”

Another shopper, Cassandra, routinely uses Botox and higher-end beauty products, also notes what a pleasant surprise this stick is. “Smooths fine lines, brightened my eye area,” the Botox fan wrote. “Love this- everyone says my makeup looks great, but it’s the [eye stick].”

Note: We’ll continue to preach that you should always use retinol with sunscreen. Using anti-aging products (or, really, any skin care) without faithfully using a sunscreen is like going fishing with a hole in your boat. You might go somewhere, but it won’t be far.)

“I love that this product is so easy to apply. No messy lotions or serums, you just simply swipe the balm under your eyes for moisturized and smooth under eye skin. I use this every night because it’s quick and effective. You don’t really need to use that much, so it’s a great value for the price. I really did see an improvement in my under eye fine lines and wrinkles after a few weeks of consitent use. This is a keeper in my skin care routine!” — Tami

“I am 74 year old man. I do not have a lot of wrinkles in spite of my age, but I have always had the so called “11” lines between my eyebrows and they give me a “mean” look. I have tried different products for years that claim to fix the problem but nothing worked. One of the instant wrinkle smoothers worked well, but after a very few hours it flaked and the wrinkles were back. I decided to give this Retinol Eye Stick a try and it is working great. I use it on the 11 wrinkles and also on my under eye bags. I began to see improvement in the 11 after around 10 days and the under eye began looking better after two weeks. For the 11 wrinkles I rub the Retinol on the wrinkles and then rub it in with my fingers. The area will appear slightly red for a few minutes then go back to normal. I just ordered and received my second stick. I started using the product around Dec 31 I think. On average the stick lasts about a month. I am still seeing improvement as I use the product and at this rate I believe the 11 will be completely gone or at least not noticeable in another month. I will continue using the product from now on. The under eye looks much better and feels really good. I carry the stick to work and use it about four times a day. I will use it less times per day when the wrinkles are gone. It has no odor that I can detect. Great product! I think that if you try it you will tell the way it feels that it will work.” — RD

“I purchased this in mid June this year and shortly thereafter began using it. I always have 0 expectations for any new product I buy. So, I just used it and forgot about it. Then lately, I guess within the last two weeks or so, my eyes seem to be more alert looking. Taking a closer look, I discovered that my crow’s feet are nearly gone! So, it has been 2 months of use and sure enough, my eyelids look tighter and my skin a bit brighter. I mean, I kept wondering what was going on and then I remembered I was using this eye stick. Note although I am old, I do not naturally have bags or discoloration under my eyes. What I have was just light wrinkling and sagging skin. I don’t look 20 again, but I think it has taken about 10 years off of me.” — Susan

Everyone knows that movement is good for you. Yet, as we age, studies show that low-impact exercise is especially beneficial for the physical and cognitive health of older adults. If you’re looking for a low-impact exercise tool that will make a low impact on your wallet, we spotted a compact, adjustable rowing machine that’s loved by users in their 50, 60s, 70s and even 80s, for making working out more accessible and fun. Even better? It’s currently 20% off, if your fast enough to snag the lightning deal.

“Low-impact exercise” isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a classified form of movement that’s easer on the joints (psst: like using a rowing machine.)

Per the American Sport And Fitness Association, “low-impact exercise” means movements that don’t have forceful landings or cause “shock absorption” in your joints — like running and jumping do. Generally, these movements include having one foot on the ground at all times, making them a great option for older folks and people with mobility limitations, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Of course, something like indoor rowing (i.e., rowing on a rowing machine), an entirely seated exercise, lets you fluidly move and groove without lifting your feet at all. When you use a rowing machine, you engage your legs, arms and core, without putting vertical weight or extra stress on your body. In fact, a government study looking at the effects of indoor rowing on visually impaired people called it a “safe whole-body exercise,” noting that the stability of being seated and repetitive continuous motion of indoor rowing made it a great option for those with visual impairments or who struggle with balance.

In short: it’s compact, lightweight, easy to assemble, works out your whole body without wearing your out and comes with a great app. Plus, it’s a lot cheaper than similar models. As reviewer Carole wrote, “I’m an 86 year old female so if I can do it anyone can!”

The machine is designed with a sliding seat, strapped foot pedals and a spot to hold your phone. 12 levels of hydraulic resistance let you engage different muscle groups with the turn of a knob. A digital monitor helps track speed, time, calories burned, and more with the digital monitor.

With the rower, you’ll get free access to the brand’s app, offering over 1,000 trainer-led workouts, challenges, video tours and more.

People desiring more exercise as they age, dealing with chronic pain, or recovering from major surgeries swear the machine “gives you a decent workout” while still being “incredibly low impact.”

Unlike a treadmill or elliptical, this portable rowing machine lets you sit as you move. A reviewer who broke a vertebra falling down stairs said the machine came recommended by their physical therapist, “because it forces you to remain in the proper posture” and “will work your back without added tension,” they wrote. Another person recovering from an accident with “several injuries” wrote the machine “did not interfere with my healing but yet gave me the low impact exercise I needed.”

Reviewers call it “perfect for an older person who needs exercise without impact,” with a 70-year-old reviewer calling it “ideal” for bringing gentle movement to those who “haven’t exercised for years.”

Another reviewer in their 70s says the machine is “excellent for elderly workout,” especially if you are trying to get more movement for your health.

“I find that it exercises my core and arms and legs. I get into a steady rhythm that is not slow but not rapid either,” they said. “My aim is to get my heart beating, work up a sweat, and work on my core. I’ve lost ten pounds in two months, look slimmer, have fewer back issues due to a stronger core, and have even mitigated my COPD [chronic obstructive pulmonary disease] somewhat.”

Reviewers in their 80s love the machine for working “the entire body” and building range of motion in their legs. “My hip pain is greatly reduced because of the increased blood flow and my upper body strength is noticably improved,” one wrote. “Gives this 80 plus year old just the type of mild challenge that I found to be just right” another said.

There “could not be a more relaxing way to get fit,” one reviewer noted. And how is this? Fair question.

Because the machine is so easy to move and store, many use it around the house while watching TV or winding down for the day. “I use it in the morning while watching the news, then in the evening if I’m watching TV – makes me feel not-as-guilty for a relaxing night in,” reviewer Jane wrote. “Light to move around but doesn’t wobble when you’re on it,” reviewer Amy added. “Put it in front of the TV and row row row your boat to health,” noting that since rowing their “mood has increased drastically.”

Another who compliments how relaxing the continuous rowing motion is, says the machine provides a “full body workout while in a ‘flow’ state.” “If you love swimming, or swinging on swings, you’ll love this,” they said.

Basically, it’s a must-have for any exercise preferences, needs or challenges you’ve got going on!

Reviewers love this compact rowing machine for offering low-impact movement from the comfort of their home. Read more 5-star reviews and grab one on sale.

“I am an 80-yr-old with circulation problems, bad hip. This machine works the entire body and I get a good range of motion in the legs. My hip pain is greatly reduced because of the increased blood flow and my upper body strength is noticably improved. The machine was easy for me to assemble myself and light enough to move easily, the price exceedingly reasonable for the quality of the product and the resulting benefits.. Admittely, I use it with the least tension but over time, who knows?” — Amazon customer

“Very easy install. Light to move around but doesn’t wobble when you’re on it. It gives you a good workout if you put in the effort. Put it in front of the TV and row row row your boat to health! I’ve had this for two weeks now. I track my workouts with the ‘weights’ exercise on my fitbit. I am addicted to this. I average 45 minutes per day which my fitbit says is about 400 calories lost. My mood has increased drastically. I can tell my body is getting a workout. I can feel the burn’” — Amy

“I really didn’t expect something this nice for such a low price. The best bargain in-home exercise equipment I’ve encountered. Gives this 80 plus year old just the type of mild challenge that I found to be just right. It’s easy to make resistance adjustments to suit the level of training you’re interested in. Higher tension for strength or lower for a longer aerobic session. The device seems to be quite durable and sturdy even though it’s relatively light in weight. I more than 5-stars were available, I’d give this device an extra or two.” — geezerdly

“I had massive back surgery with 4 rods and 31 screws. I also had total bilateral knee replacements. I have struggled with finding a way to exercise especially for my upper back and arms that still exercised my legs. This little rowing machine is perfect without causing pain and strain against the rods. I had it assembled in 10 minutes. So light weight and easy to use, move and store. I highly recommend this product, not for serious athletes, but for older adults or anyone with limited ability to exercise due to health issues.” — Kelley F. Birk

“For an amateur rower this is a perfect thing for starters. It gives you a decent workout, and tightens your core, shoulders and back. It’s not super intense cardio like an elliptical or treadmill, but incredibly low impact. Also, this takes so little space, and folds up out of the way when I don’t need it.” — Tia H

“I purchased this as a 60+ year old female to help keep in shape over the winter. I love to walk, but always slack off in the cold weather. I wanted something low-tech, small, quiet (I live in an upper floor apartment) and fairly inexpensive. This checked all the boxes. I have been using it for 3 weeks now and have no issues. It’s doing exactly what I purchased it for!” — K Miller

It’s time to turn on the ceiling fans and air conditioners, which means finally addressing the pile of dust and dander that collected in the vents and slats over winter. Whether you’re clearing cobwebs from high corners, washing windows or otherwise dusting hard-to-reach, high spots, reviewers say this under $40 versatile, extension pole makes cleaning easy, safe and even kind of fun — especially if you don’t like getting on ladders.

With an extendable pole reaching up to 20 feet and three interchangeable heads, you’ll find “so many uses” for this pole — you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Say “goodbye” to standing on chairs or ladders trying to wave your normal duster at tight corners and “hello” to the joy of an extendable duster. The kit is comprised of a generous, 5-foot handle with cushioned grips and an extension pole that extends to 12 feet, letting you clean spaces up to 20 feet high.

“I can clean windows, fans, and my ceiling all while keeping my feet on the ground,” a reviewer who was tired of “dragging out” their big ladder for 16 years wrote. ”…Where have you been all my life?”

Of course, the pole would be nothing without the three easily changeable heads: a squeegee with chenille for windows, a fluffy microfiber duster and a puffy bristle head, specifically for grabbing cobwebs. The quality and variety of the heads make the pole a truly versatile home cleaning product.

“This is such a life saver,” one wrote. “I’ve been able to take down spider webs come along the eaves of the roof with ease by extending the sweep. I’m able to clean windows on the outside with another attachment.”

Fans appreciate the quality of the cleaner, noting that the heads are easy to clean and maintain. Plus, they enjoy how compact the kit can be when it’s not in use. “Great for cleaning out the high-corner cobwebs in attic or garage, but also telescopes down to an easily-stored size in your hall closet,” one said. “LOVE IT!”

Reviewers say it “saves a lot of work and having to get on my roof” or use ladders, making previously thankless cleaning “fun, satisfying and easy.”

Apart from sheer convenience, several people speak to the safety of the cleaning pole, letting you reach high heights safely from the ground.

“I’m in a wheelchair and have vaulted ceilings that I cannot access. I wouldn’t think of using a ladder,” one wrote. “I have tried two other extended pole dusters, and one wouldn’t reach while sitting, the other was too flimsy when extended. This one is close to perfect.”

“I’m not young and am afraid to get up on any ladder except my 3 ft one I keep in the house. That couldn’t do the trick,” another shared, noting after they got the duster, “the cobwebs didn’t stand a chance.”

“They were gone within 10 minutes of delivery,” they wrote. “I can reach the cold air intakes and little effort is required.”

A reviewer who worries about their husband bought the extender to limit his time on ladders. “I don’t know why I waited so long to buy this,” they wrote. “I can pull this out whenever I see a cobweb lurking in the corners and those nasty webs are gone in minutes.”

Whether you use the pole on ceiling fans, bookshelves, furniture or just awkward corners, the pole is sure to earn its keep in your home. Others say the kit is perfect for cleaning outside too, hitting dryer vent outlets, getting leaves off roofs, cleaning around security cameras and floodlights and more.

“It enables me to remove easily the insects and webs on my porch ceiling and from around the windows and other high areas around the outside of my home,” one wrote. “I look forward to using it to wash the outside of my windows as well. It’s a money saver!”

Reviewers love this extendable pole for taking their cleaning to new heights. Read more 5-star reviews and grab one for yourself.

“I have so many spiders that want to spend the winter at the edge of the ceilings to my long porches. Ha! Take that you spiders! Swept away with this superb tool. And all the Stink Bugs that have been pooping on the columns of the porches- yes- the Duster Kit tool to the rescue. A neat freak friend of mine who shares my love of cleaning told me about this wonderful buy. Just what a short person needs to reach everything including all the cobwebs at the top of the high ceilings. So many uses. The fans, the corners, the top of the furniture. Worth every penny” — Nashville Nancy

“Best purchase ever! I can reach the highest parts of my ceilings! We have used multiple attachments for various chores and love the ease of changing and having everything in one place.” — Jennifer Lamborn

“This kit is just what I needed to clean an elevated outside dryer vent outlet. It was easy to assemble the brush, and the telescoping arm is light enough to use from a ladder. It saves me a lot of work and having to get on my roof. I haven’t used the other attachments yet, but I was impressed with how easy it was to use for my purpose.” — Turtle

“This is such a life saver. I’ve been able to take down spider webs come along the eaves of the roof with ease by extending the sweep. I’m able to clean windows on the outside with another attachment. I think this is a great value.” — Barbara

“The great room in my home has a vaulted ceiling. I’m not young and am afraid to get up on any ladder except my 3 ft one I keep in the house. That couldn’t do the trick. Just got this product today. The cobwebs didn’t stand a chance. They were gone within 10 minutes of delivery. I can reach the cold air intakes and little effort is required. The pole is substantial. I may have to go to my daughter’s to demonstrate this!” — mary

It seems the older we get, the more our bodies surprise us in new, sometimes, not-so-exciting ways. If you notice your B.O. smelling different (i.e., worse) lately — research shows you’re not imagining it. But also? Folks dealing with the same thing say it’s probably going to be OK. Enter, a cream solution: If your regular deodorant is “no longer cutting it,” or if hot flashes make you sweaty and uncomfy, we found a whole body, cream deodorant that reviewers in their 50s, 60s and beyond swear by for nixing what you may hear referred to as “old person smell.” Even better? It’s currently 20% off for the first time since January.

Medical studies and previous HuffPost reporting confirm that age-related body smells are a real thing.

Our skin definitely changes as we age, producing different compounds that emit distinct odors, as Dr. Sonal Choudhary, a dermatologist at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, previously confirmed to HuffPost.“It’s a gradual process, not an instant switch. The intensity of the smell varies significantly from person to person, depending on genetics, skin type, lifestyle and environmental exposure.”

Dr. Choudhary continues that this is a completely common and normal thing, generally beginning after age 40.

Thankfully, so many reviewers experiencing this swear by Lume’s Whole Body Deodorant as a long-lasting fix.

“Wanting to ensure I didn’t give off that ‘I’m over 50 odor’ prompted me to try this product. It really works as advertised,” reviewer June noted.

June isn’t alone. Jane G., a 69-year-old shopper with the self-described “nose of a bloodhound,” reports recently noticing their own body odor. After trying Lume, they reported “total and absolutely no odor that day and even [the] next morning.”

“I have cut grass, weed whacked and still absolutely No odor. Only smell is an ever so slight coconut smell which is 100% improvement,” they wrote. “I’m a customer for life and have already shared with close friends! You will not be disappointed I promise. Worth every penny!!”

Unlike a traditional stick deodorant, this is a lotion-like cream, designed to block odors for up to 72 hours. It’s loaded with skin care ingredients like vitamin E, aloe, caffeine and exfoliating mandelic acid, to help even, brighten and soften skin as it disappears unwelcome body odor. And the scent options are plentiful. Think tangerine, vanilla, lavender, alpine and more. There’s even an unscented option.

“I hit my 50’s and my chemistry changed. Really glad I tried this brand…,” reviewer Pea Dot wrote about their unscented choice. “It’s working great and the skin under my arms feels amazing.”

″…For whatever reason, menopause made me stink,” reviewer, CBL, wrote. ”…Bought it because nothing else worked…Anyway, I saw a difference IMMEDIATELY! No more self-consciousness…it was so good that I bought the acidified body wash and clean cotton deodorant wipes. They’re all great!”

One reviewer leans on Lume due to a medical condition that hinders daily bathing. “Be not afraid… Two days in and still no [odor],” they confirm.

The cream is especially loved by reviewers who find that their usual deodorants stopped working as well as they used to. You only need a pea-sized amount of the potent formula, which dries clear after 5 seconds of rubbing when applied to clean, dry skin.

“I don’t know if it’s getting older or what, but suddenly underarm deodorants etc. were failing me miserably. It’s like I was bitten by a stink bug or something,” one wrote.

“… Saw this two pack Lume and decided it was worth a shot. It’s a bit expensive, but boy is it worth it.”

The brand recommends reapplying the cream frequently for the first week or two as your body adjusts, then using it as needed, as you would with a classic stick deodorant.

A reviewer in their 50s who’s tried all sorts of anti-odor products detailed their experience adjusting to Lume (which is worth the whole read, TBH).

″…Be aware that it might make all your dreams come true on the first try or it might take your body a little while to adapt to it…. give it a couple of tries,” they advise. ”… Sometimes things don’t work exactly as planned on the first try or in an overnight complete switch to a new product; sometimes it takes a few tries!”

Everyone’s body is different, but a ton of people swear it works on every region.

“I use it for under my boobs, my belly button, the creases of my legs, lady parts and butt crack,” one wrote of the deodorant cream. “It leaves you smelling like nothing!”

Another standout review dubbed the cream “just what the butt crack ordered.”

While the cream doesn’t officially have “sweat-stopping” ingredients, the brand says the formula has a specific acidity to hinder bacteria and absorb moisture without clogging pores, keeping you feeling dry and fresh.

“I’m an older lady (57) I get alot of hot flashes so I get very sweaty in all the wrong places … this stuff makes me smell FANTASTIC 100% of the time for a long long time,” one said. “I never have any oder anywhere! This is a must for all Women! And men too!”

Another reviewer jokes that it “only took me 61 years to find,” the Lume cream solution. “It controls sweat so good and keeps you dry that you could go several days without using more,” they wrote.

Something strong enough to prevent re-application for days is a tall, tall order and we bet that will vary person to person.

However, to get rid of that “old person smell” that, per experts, is definitely not just our imagination running away with us — we say this cream deodorant is worth grabbing while discounted. Want more deets? Check out the promising re”views below.

“Game changer!!! If you were unlucky enough to get stinky body odor like me, this stuff is a life changer. I’m not sure how to adequately described the stress that has been taken off of me in the summer. I can now go out and spend a whole day doing things and not have to worry about smelling bad. Also perfect for the office ladies who sit on vinyl chairs and have stinky lower regions.” — Michelle Richard

“I’ve spent 50 years trying to find something to address my astonishingly stinky feet, and absolutely nothing has worked. Until this. I rub a little dollop into each foot after showering and my feet simply don’t smell. For days! I tried it on my armpits and was less impressed, but the foot situation is amazing.” — Kim

“I’m a 69 yr old female with the nose of a bloodhound. I can trail cigarette smoke thru a massive box store, detect a tiny gas leak and yes body odor which I have only recently experienced. I read the reviews, refrained from smelling when first opening and used (down below). Total and absolutely No odor that day and even next morning. I have cut grass, weed whacked and still absolutely No Odor. Only smell is an ever so slight coconut smell which is 100% improvement!! I’m a customer for life and have already shared with close friends! You will not be disappointed I promise. Worth every penny!! Oh and btw I have probably only sent in 2 or 3 reviews in my entire life. This product was worth my time in submitting this review!” — Jane Garrett

“As your chemistry changes so does your body odor. Wanting to ensure I didn’t give off that ‘I’m over 50 odor’ prompted me to try this product. It really works as advertised. I think I’m brave enough to try a scented version next!” — June T.

“I love the smell and it works so good. It is the only kind I use now. Only took me 61 years to find it. It controls sweat so good and Kees you dry that You could go several days without using more.” — kathy h.

We know that no one likes talking about age-related body odors, so we’ll be quick. If cream deodorant isn’t your jam, peep three other finds reviewers love for banishing “old person smell,” courtesy of HuffPost Shopping.

It can be difficult to find a moisturizer that strikes the perfect balance between being deliciously hydrating while still having a lightweight finish, but Kiehl’s popular Ultra Facial Cream handles this task with aplomb. Deemed “relief for my aging, dry skin,” reviewers with mature skin love it for bringing the hydration back to their skin, “without the greasiness.” If you need more reason to give it a try — it’s currently 25% off at Amazon and Nordstrom, the lowest price it’s been since January.

Loved by people with dry or mature skin, the cream is formulated with squalane (a botanical lipid that can prevent water loss) and ceramides, which are essential for a strong skin barrier and healthy complexion.

“The cream soaks in quickly without leaving a greasy residue, giving my skin a smooth, hydrated base for makeup,” one wrote, calling it a “perfect daily moisturizer for mature skin.” “It’s lightweight yet nourishing — perfect for mature skin that needs moisture without heaviness. After daily use, my skin feels soft, comfortable, and radiant all day.”

Having a lightweight, yet nourishing cream, is a must for all skin types, but it’s especially helpful for those with acne-prone and sensitive skin, or who otherwise struggle with dry skin. It also has a nearly imperceptible scent, which is a must for anyone who is sensitive to fragrance.

In previous reporting, HuffPost shopping writer Tessa Flores noted that this cream helps to soothe her chronic eczema.

Even the driest patches don’t stand a chance against this cream, and I can attest to that as well. This is among my go-to mid-winter wonders when my skin is parched from months of radiator heat.

This cream is also great for reducing redness and calming the skin. My complexion gets incredibly irritated during seasonal changes (like right now), from the changing weather, allergies, dry heat and more. This cream is a lifesaver and doesn’t cause my skin to break out, like most super-hydrating creams usually do. The resounding feedback among reviewers is that this cream is deeply hydrating without feeling greasy or heavy, and will earn its place in your daily rotation.

Take a look at what other shoppers have to say about this universally loved cream and pick some up while it’s on a rare sale. Your juicy, refreshed skin will be thanking you for it in the weeks and months to come.

“I use Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream every morning before applying my foundation, and it’s become an essential part of my routine. The cream soaks in quickly without leaving a greasy residue, giving my skin a smooth, hydrated base for makeup. It’s lightweight yet nourishing — perfect for mature skin that needs moisture without heaviness. After daily use, my skin feels soft, comfortable, and radiant all day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable, everyday facial cream.” — Angela M.

“I have been using Kiehl’s products for almost 30 years for its outstanding quality in ingredients. I have very sensitive skin and break out easily. Ultra Facial Moisturizer and Alcohol-Free Cucumber Toner were my go-to for years. Although I still love them, my skin has changed with age (drier) and the Ultra-Facial Cream has delivered the proper amount of moisturizing back to my skin without the greasiness. This product has been around for a long time with updated look. I remember using it regularly when heading out to the slopes when I was still skiing and it was fabulous. Well, same awesomeness, different packaging. Highly recommend trying this – and any Kiehl’s product – based on your skin type.” — Daniela Lo Feudo

“This is hands down one of the best moisturizers I’ve used. It’s super lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated all day. I love that it doesn’t feel greasy and works well under makeup. A little goes a long way, and it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin. Worth every penny! ” — Alexandra Bosco

Three weeks ago, my wife told me my hair looked ridiculous and I needed a haircut. I agreed. But I still haven’t booked one.

This is not new behavior. The time between haircuts keeps stretching. Six weeks becomes eight. Eight becomes “when I get around to it.” My wife and sons mention it. But my hair routine is simple. However I wake up is how it looks. I haven’t stopped caring — style has just slid down the priority list.

It’s common once men reach middle age. There comes a point where keeping up just stops feeling worth the effort. The stomach doesn’t get sucked in at the beach, and the gray doesn’t get touched up. Phrases that kids call “such a boomer thing to say” get used without shame.

“Almost as if I was given a magic spell, somewhere just after my 50th birthday, I stopped pretending to care whether my shoes matched my outfit,” said Nathan Rice, 53. “Pre-50 me would’ve judged Crocs like they were a moral failing.” Now he owns multiple pairs. Fuzzy for winter, breezy for summer. “It’s full-time comfort mode, and honestly, I know it’s not anyone’s idea of cool, and don’t care.”

And it goes well past wardrobe.

At 57, Elias Friedman no longer feels the need to look busy. “If I am done at work, I am done and I leave for the day,” said Friedman, a financial planner. The “I shouldn’t eat this” routine over dessert? “Just order it and move on. I exercise four-plus days per week. It’s time to enjoy life more.” As for networking events, he’d rather “have one real conversation than 10 forgettable ones.”

It started around 50, he said. “It was realizing how much mental bandwidth was going to things that had zero impact on my actual life. It feels like a combination of earned confidence and fatigue. You’ve run the experiment long enough to know what matters and what doesn’t.” His family has noticed, too. “I have less patience for anything inauthentic.”

Sometimes it’s clearer from the outside. Runbo Li saw it in his father, a Chinese immigrant who spent decades running small businesses in Pennsylvania. “He’d rehearse small talk before parent-teacher conferences like he was prepping for a deposition,” Li said. “Pressed shirts to go to Costco. Careful English around neighbors.”

Then somewhere around 55, “he started wearing the same three polo shirts in rotation. Not because he couldn’t afford more. Because, and I quote, ‘Nobody is looking at me.’” He once wore house slippers to a restaurant, and when Li’s mom pointed it out, he said, “The food tastes the same.”

At a family barbecue, a neighbor asked what he thought about some political topic. “He just said, ‘I don’t think about it,’” Li said. “My mom looked at me like she’d lost him. I thought he’d finally found himself.”

There’s a reason this tends to hit men around the same age. Licensed clinical social worker Kym Tolson said it’s less about giving up and more about what she calls radical acceptance. “For decades, their identity is often tied to performance, providing and fitting into a specific mold of success. When they hit their 50s, there is a profound sense of relief that comes with realizing they don’t have to perform anymore.”

According to Tolson, families usually notice first, because “the man’s behavior changes before he even consciously realizes his mindset has shifted. He’s just living his life, but the family sees the sudden absence of anxiety.”

Licensed mental health counselor Matt Grammer calls it “social camouflage,” and says it falls away in the early to mid-50s. One of his clients sat through a 15-minute conversation about cryptocurrency at a barbecue, went home and told his wife, “Next time I’m just going to say, ‘I have no idea what you’re talking about.’” He felt relieved, not resigned. “Men at this age understand that all of the little social acts, looking busy, staying on trend, going the extra mile, do not change the social outcome,” Grammer said.

The thing that took Mark Shrime, 51, longest to let go of was the dance floor. At a wedding late last year, the music started, everyone rushed to the floor, and the pleas kicked in: “Come on, just one dance!” He’d always felt the guilt of being the one person who stayed seated, and he would join in. “This was the first time I ever felt like, you know what? I don’t actually want to … and I don’t have to.” Shrime calls it freeing. “I’ve finally accepted that I’m content sipping my whiskey and being around my friends who are having the time of their lives.”

The shift isn’t always about what you stop doing. Sometimes it’s about what you stop saying. Keith Holloway used to justify every decision to anyone who raised an eyebrow. “I used to explain myself. Constantly,” he said. “Someone would push back on a decision, and I’d justify it until they agreed. I’ve completely stopped. I know what I know. If you’re curious, ask me. If you disagree, good for you.” After his separation, he saw that “a staggering amount of my energy had gone toward managing other people’s opinions of me. That’s done now.” He also hasn’t worn pants that button on a Zoom call since 2021. And won’t ever again.

Some men have taken it further than they’d ever admit to their families. Ian Glennon, a 57-year-old writer, hasn’t shared this with his family yet. “The thing that I do now, that I would never have done pre-50, is wear the same pairs of underpants and socks two days in a row,” he said. “I turn them inside out so there’s at least a cognitive resonance that they’re ‘clean.’” He admits that two days occasionally stretch to three. Public holidays falling on a Monday are, he said, a case in point.

He hasn’t told his 16-year-old daughter. “I’m sure the response would contain the words: ‘gross,’ ‘too much information’ and ‘do NOT post that on social media.’” He plans to send her the link when this article runs.

My wife still tells me I need a haircut, and my sons groan when I play country music. Last week, I described something as “absolute cinema” and my sons looked at me like I’d committed a crime. I’ll book the haircut eventually. But I’m not rushing. And when I wake up tomorrow, however my hair looks is how it’s going to stay.

Gliding back and forth on your favorite rocking chair isn’t just relaxing; in fact, government studies show that regularly using a rocking chair can help you with knee strength, balance, walking speed and getting out of chairs — especially if you’re of mature age. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, you’ll be happy to know we spotted a folding, rocking camp chair for 20% off, the lowest price it’s been since November, which lets you enjoy the benefits of rocking wherever you go. For added convenience (and just $20 more), there’s even a version with a handy folding side table with a cup holder. How rockin’ is that?

When you’re watching a T-ball game, enjoying a campfire or having a cool drink on the porch, this travel-ready rocker is there to bring you comfort and give your knees a little movement. It comes in a selection of great colors, for each family member to have their own. “This is an amazing chair that is well built, sturdy, and most importantly, rocks smoothly,” one said. ”…If you are a rocking lover, it can be used everywhere regular rocking chairs cannot.”

The folding chair weighs less than 14 pounds, making it easy to carry via the shoulder strap or built-in handle. With a durable steel frame and padded armrests, the chair can hold up to 250 pounds. Reviewers of all sizes speak to the comfort and durability of the seat.

“I am a bigger guy but within the weight limit of this rocker and I have no issues,” one wrote. “The back is at a comfortable height for my 6’ and the arm rests are more comfortable than my other rocker who suffers from a short back and uncomfortable arm rests.”

The crown jewel of the chair is the brand’s patented “spring-action rocking technology” (which you can read about in depth here), which is designed to let you rock smoothly and consistently, without taking up extra space.

The brand says the chair is designed to reduce pressure in your knees and boost circulation as you sit. Per government research, that’s likely not an overstated possibility.

As previously mentioned, rocking doesn’t just feel nice; research shows it may help our bodies, especially as we get older. There’s a lot of cool research on rocking, but we love this blog post from Alegre Home Care, a California home health care company specializing in dementia care, that breaks down some rocking highlights and shares studies on rocking. Take this study from the University of Rochester on rocking eases symptoms of dementia and relieving inflamtion.

Medical research aside, reviewers say the chair is seriously supportive and comfortable — like you may fall asleep in it, with one calling it a “solid rocker to take anywhere.” “Solid built, comfortable and smooth motion,” one wrote. “Perfect height for getting in and out, and sets up very easily.” “The back provides decent lumbar support and the seat is comfortable,” another wrote. “The rocking motion is smooth, easy, and never feels like you’re going to tip over.”

Called a “must-have” for summer comfort, many reviewers say the rockers will become a crowd-favorite. “We brought these on a family camping trip. They were LOVED! Our parents loved them and took them over, offered them to all their friends to try out,” one wrote. ”…We barely got to use our own chairs!”

“This chair was recommended to us from a friend…It’s great the back is mesh makes it comfortable to sit in on hot days,” another wrote. “My mom sat in it and is begging for one for herself now. Great buy!”

“We brought these on a family camping trip. They were LOVED! Our parents loved them and took them over, offered them to all their friends to try out. Everyone complimented them and stayed in them. We barely got to use our own chairs! Everyone was asking about them. A must have item” — Sarah

“This is an amazing chair that is well built, sturdy, and most importantly rocks smoothly. The back is high enough to support your entire back but not the head. It deploys and folds up easily and can be stored in very small spaces being only 4.5′ wide when folded up. It weighs 13.5 lbs. so it’s not the lightest lawn/camping chair around but it has hand and shoulder straps. Most importantly if you are a rocking lover, it can be used everywhere regular rocking chairs cannot.” — Robert A.

“This rocker is fantastic. It’s one of the most comfortable outdoor chairs I have ever had. I really appreciate how easy it is to fold it up and carry it with the built in carry strap. It is comfortable to sit on and the rocking action is great. It is a bit heavier than conventional fold up chairs, but well worth it for the comfort it brings to the sitting experience. I highly recommend this chair.” — Bruce Hankee

“Great in and out of doors. Year round use. Rocking great for ’old legs’” — Arthur Jaeger

“This chair was recommended to us from a friend. This is a very comfortable chair. Bought for the lovely softball game days and tournament weekends. It’s great the back is mesh makes it comfortable to sit in on hot days. My mom sat in it and is begging for one for herself now. Great buy”!” — JP42
