As a man, if you really want vibrant skin, these days you have options. There are hundreds of skin care for men products available on the market. But watch out, lots of them are crap.
So which is the best men skin care cream? Well, if you’re like most men, you haven’t been using a skin cream every day since your teen years. Most women have. They have a lot more knowledge than you in this area. So if you know a woman you can trust, ask her for advice about keeping skin healthy.
Or continue reading this article. I’ll discuss a few essential ingredients that should be in skin care for men.
First of all, womens and mens skin creams are not all that different. Skin is skin. Ingredients that make your girlfriend’s skin firm will also make your skin firm.
The two most important skin proteins are collagen and elastin; they keep skin firm, smooth, and toned. So, just like women, you want to look for men skin care cream that contains natural substances that boost your body’s production of collagen and elastin.
Also, men particularly suffer from dry skin, because many of them work outside and are exposed to sun, wind, and the cold. Look for emollients and natural oils on the ingredient label. They hydrate the skin without clogging pores.
Here’s two natural men skin care moisturizers:
Shea Butter - it helps combat dry skin and reduces the appearance of cuts and blemishes. Now, scars on a man may seem natural. Men play rough. But these days, you don’t have to show them off like you’re a tough guy.
Active Manuka Honey - your skin easily absorbs this special type of honey and leaves no greasy feeling. It’s super-high in antioxidants and prevents free radical damage. Free radicals attack skin cells. The harm they cause is a big reason why skin ages.
Okay, I said above that there’s little difference between mens and womens skin. But there is one skin issue that only confronts men skin care. Skin inflammation. It causes chaffing, redness, and irritation.
A lot of the inflammation men experience is from shaving their face every morning. Skin on the face is the most sensitive and thinnest on the body. It’s hard for men to avoid agitating their face skin unless they want to walk around looking like a caveman. What can you do?
Well, a professional skin care for men line I discovered contains a natural substance called Cynergy TK. It’s amazing in that it stops Prostaglandin E2 production, the process responsible for skin inflammation.
At my website, I discuss many other skincare ingredients for both men and women. If you want to look your best today and keep your skin healthy for the future, check it out.

What kind of skin care routine should I follow?
I am fourteen years old and I’ve never a problem with acne. But lately, I noticed my skin gets really oily on my nose and my forehead, and I’m starting to break out.
I don’t take care of my face much, all I do is wash it in the morning with Clean & Clear face wash. I know there is toners, moisturizers, masks, treatments, etc. out there but I don’t know which ones to use and how to use them and when to use them (let alone what they do and how they help!).
I need to know which skin products to use and which certain brands you’d recommend for me. I want to start taking care of this before it’s too late and my face is covered with zits. So, please, please educate me. I’m practically clueless on this topic.
Basically, I’m looking for a thorough, informative answer and it would help if the products weren’t too expesive.
Thank you so much!
Try meeting with a dermatologist and find a good plan for you and your skin type. Also I clean and clear makes these great oil wipes that you can find at your local drug store.

I have found this cleanser to be great for any face without drying it out or making it feel oily:
http://www.cetaphil.com

Its non-irritating formula is designed to remove surface oils, dirt and makeup without leaving skin feeling tight or overly dry. It is a foaming cleanser that leaves skin with a clean feeling. It doesn’t leave behind any irritating residue and is non-comedogenic.
Great for use at night before going to bed.

wash it 2x a day, over doing it will take out too many oils
use a day moisturizer w/a uhv in it, the sun can be too bright if there is snow on the ground and night moisturizer for normal to oily skin.
day is lighter weight than night and u should wear it under u’r make-up if u r using any.
a facial mask 1x a wk is plenty.
when i get acne i use a special wash called clearskin from Avon and it works great.

i usually have normal skin but get acne every now and again.
you are smart to think of taking care of your skin now.
Most of my products I use are from Avon that I now sell on the internet because I love them and their prices.
Everyone’s body chemistry is changing all the time, so sometimes we get zits, and sometimes our faces look awesome. Keep in mind to that for girls, we tend to break out around the time of our periods because of hormones and stuff. First find out your overall skin type. Dry skin (Does your skin sometimes feel tight, like if you need to put cream on?), oily skin (Your skin gets greasy all the time, prone to break out easily), or t-zone (where your nose and forehead get greasy while other parts like your chin and cheeks are normal or dry). From what you put, it sounds like your a t-zone skin type, so buy a gentle face wash for that type. If you can’t find one buy one that’s for normal to dry skin types. Another good thing to do is to exfoliate your skin about 2 to 3 times a week only, because overdoing it will make your skin really dry. Exfoliating face washes have little bead things that work like little scrubbers on your face; they scrub away layers of dirt and dead cells that cover our faces so that when we rinse it off the fresher skin underneath can breathe and our faces look cleaner. Just be sure to do it like 2 to 3 times a week and when exfoliating be gentle with it so don’t rub to hard (St. Ive’s Apricot face wash is an exfoliator I think). Overall, I think the best thing you can do is drink water more than anything. Be sure that your drinking more water than cokes and sugared drinks. Wash your bed sheets in hot water and put them in the dryer AT LEAST once a week. It’s the little things you do that help your skin. And don’t expect results right away, just stick with it and make a little routine for face washing and exfoliating. Good Luck!
