Men’s Skin Care

Posted by Whitney on Nov 01, 2010

For most men the thought of skin care is most often an afterthought and nothing of  importance.  Besides the duty of shaving their faces, it is very rare for men to put any time (or thought) in taking care of their skin, especially the skin on the face.

Shaving is always rough on your skin especially the delicate skin on a man’s face.

Nonetheless, proper skin care is still essential for men.  It’s important to remember that the body’s first line of defense against sickness, germs and disease is our largest organ, the skin.

Since shaving is rough on your face, 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. When done apply after shave cream, this works much 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

As always, remember to always wear sunblock.
