Skin Care Is For Men Too
Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Being a typical low-maintenance guy, I never had the inclination to apply anything on my face apart from the shaving foam and a conventional soap bar. However, with time, I realized that people at my office seem to be flaunting the clean, moisturized look without any hesitation at all. I am about to hit 30, so trying out new things including skincare still really isn’t out of my realm. So I decided to do a bit of investigation and seek the help of my associates to decide if these products would actually be good for me. I am the kind of person who believes in being safe than sorry and I had no preference for conducting experiments on my face.
I have to confess that after the initial apprehensions and a whole lot of research, I have finally come to the conclusion that there are some facial skin-based products that all of us can benefit from. What are these? I would now recommend :
1. A deep-cleaning facial scrub
2. A moisturizer-heavy lotion
3. The periodic facial
Why? Here is my personal narrative:
Until I tried a moisturizer, I never realized just how dry my face was and within a few minutes after applying it, it was evident that the face was looking much better. And I mean, seriously better. The small pits or marks were well-hidden and the second-day patch due to not having shaved seemed well-camouflaged. The entire cheek region looked much more distinguished and the small wrinkles too got a bit of beating.
A face scrub is a bare necessity for me now. It is very effective at keeping the skin clean, especially the area around the nose and the forehead and also softens the skin, which also helps to get a closer and neater shave. A facial may sound a bit too feminine but you have to just go visit a men’s saloon and look at the sheer number of people getting it. It does work wonders and removes all the signs of tiredness that accumulates every fortnight or so and gives that freshness to your appearance.
If you can look better by spending a bit of time and money and by doing something that, millions are already doing, then what’s there to keep you waiting?

I’m just like how you were before, I’m too lazy and never wanted to buy some expensive creams for my face.
But now I’m getting older I want to look young again. Will try the things you also use, maybe it will help me.
Thank you for this article.
I never actually use any moisturizers. 25 years old and still have issues with excess oil on my face, so a face scrub usually does the trick. In my case, I have no choice in using these.
If I fail to use anything like face scrubs or other acne washes, I find myself looking like a high school kid again. Some may think that’s not a bad thing, but I beg to differ.
I used to take care of my selft like this. not any more
My boy friend never took care of his skin and i am fed up of saying him to concern this.Every men should know skin care is also for men.
