Skin Care & Shaving for Men

It’s ironic that men have a tendency to take better care of their cars than they do their skin. Men should have a skin regime, washing your face with deodorant soap is not the answer. With an active schedule, air pollution, UV Reys and harsh weather can wreak havoc on your skin.

A Cleansing Gel will remove the days dirt and pollutants in the air that cause pimples or in-grown hair without stripping away your skin’s natural balance.
• Beard Lifting Scrub: Is a gentle scrub that lifts the beard to give you a close shave. Use right before shaving.
• Shaving Tips: For the closest shave, use a blade or straight razor rather than an electric razor. Electric razors often leave uneven stubbles and can irritate your skin. If you use an electric razor, use a pre-shave product to lift the hair follicle, like a Beard Lifting Scrub. When using a blade never shave against the grain of the beard; it’s too irritating to the skin. Shave with the grain for a smoother shave and less irritation. Find the right shaving product for your skin. It’s worth a few extra pennies to avoid the look and feel of red irritated looking skin.

• Sun Screen: Contrary to popular belief the sun is not your friend. Use a daily sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 to prevent UV rays from causing premature wrinkles.
