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 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
