Why body butter makes a great birthday gift
A scented body butter solves two things most men quietly deal with: dry skin from shaving and weather, and a cologne that fades by noon. It hydrates and carries an all-day scent in one step, so it earns a permanent spot on his shelf. Many men end up treating it as cologne they moisturize with.
