Men's Skin Care
Man Skin Care
For ages, men have this assumption that skin care is meant only for ladies. Men
taking care of their looks were generally regarded girlish. Usually when in need,
they just borrowed or stole cleanser or moisturizer from the fairer sex. However,
recently there has been a significant shift in mens attitude towards skin care in
general and facial skin care in particular. Taking the cue, the cosmetic
companies have flushed the market with a large number of products exclusively
for men. There are compelling reasons too. The men folk have to remain
outdoors for long durations, carry out onerous physical activities and sweat a lot.
These take their toll on skin and hair and need to be addressed. The following
few tips form part of man skin care and will aid a man to have healthy skin, hair
and an overall good appearance.

Man skin care is not time consuming and will take only a few minutes of time
daily. Washing the face with mild soap and rinsing with cold water will do for
starters. However, deodorants of strong soaps should be avoided. Cleansing
the face once or twice a week with a good cleanser also adds to man skin care.
In case one is expected to stay outdoors for a long duration a sunscreen,
containing aloe and moisturizers, will be a good option.
A little care while shaving is also a good man skin care tactic. Coating the face
with hot water before applying shaving cream, using a sharp double-edged blade
and rinsing with cold water post-shave are also helpful. Instead of liquid, after-
shave cream is a better option. People who use an electric razor should apply
pre-shave lotion which will allow whiskers to stand up and will also make gliding
the razor smooth. This is also helpful to the burns and irritations which occur
with electric razor.

Balanced diet, consisting of fruits and vegetables containing multiple anti-
oxidants, checks skin damage. A multi-vitamin, rich in anti-oxidants and vitamin
E, will also supplement. Fast food and fat should be avoided.
An important factor in man skin care is exercise which clears the pores and
increases the metabolism. The resultant sweating also helps cleanse the inner
body.
Sufficient intake of water is one of the cheapest and most affective ways for the
man skin care as it keeps the entire body hydrated. De-hydrating beverages like
coffee, soda or alcohol, if at all taken, should be in limited quantity.
These tips may not work wonders or have miraculous effects but, in long term,
will give a young and healthy appearance to a mans skin, making him self-
confident and attractive to the opposite gender.
