Once upon a time, all a man needed to do in order to be a man (in the sence of skin care) was: Brush his teeth, wash his face, shave in the morning. Those are all but a fond memorys.
In our day and age, good grooming and plenty of it is the order of the day for both sexes, proper skin care is essential for the present and the future. Skin is the body's first line of defense against sickness, germs, and diseases.
Additionally, as we age, our skin loses its elastic nature. Thus, we develop wrinkles and facial lines. For these reasons alone, proper skin care is important
Men should realize that proper skin care need not take copious amounts of time. A few minutes a day is all that is necessary.
So, men: what will you have to do in order to stay in style today?
First, figure out your skin type: normal skin, oily skin, dry skin, sensitive skin or combination skin (or ask the woman in your life),
Then, Exfoliate!
REAL men exfoliate,
Because:
Men would actually benefit more from exfoliating than women!
This is because it is already a known fact that men have thicker skin than women.
So exfoliation helps men reveal softer and even toned skin.
Remember: exfoliation wipes off all the dead skin on your face. Plus, if it's that good for our faces it can do the same for our body.
Shaving is always rough on your face, so do it right. If you use a blade, make sure that your face is coated with a thin stream of hot water before applying shaving cream. Give the cream a few minutes to settle in. Use a sharp razor that has a double blade attached to it. Take your time. Rinse with cold water, not hot. Applying after shave cream such as Afta works better than applying liquid. If you use an electric razor, apply pre-shave lotion to enable your whiskers to stand up and keeps your shaver gliding easily across your face. It will also lessen the irritation and burn that comes with electric shaving.
