Where to find mens skin care products can be a real challenge. Of course, the drug store does have a lot but read the label. If you want real natural and high quality skincare for men you have limited access. Let me show you where to find mens skin care products that are safe and effective.
Some of the possible logic behind this is that men look just fine with an aging look. In other words, age on a man is more acceptable than on a woman.
This may or may not be true and we are not here to choose sides. But for whatever reason men do not have the choices that most women have.
Wrinkles Are Wrinkles - No matter who has them.
Do crows feet, saggy skin and brown age spots look more acceptable on a man? Wouldn't most men want to remove them?
Cosmetic Companies to Blame
Some skin care companies seem to have the idea that fragrance or some sweet smelling perfume what differentiates a man's skincare from the ladies.
Frankly, many if not most men, do not care for some overpowering odor. Not on themselves or on anyone else.
Men's skin care products should be formulated different than for women. Why?
It is not just that men as a whole prefer a low lying fragrance to none at all. Subtle is more to most mens liking.
And subtle is the difference from mens skin and womens. Men do not attend to their faces as women do. Obviously, men shave their faces and women do not.
What is Common?
Men and women have some similar needs.
Both need keratin, hyaluronic acid, amino acids, protein etc.
Men's Skin Care Needs
Since as mentioned men shave their faces. As a result, shaving can cause redness, inflammation and irritating rough skin.
Some of these conditions are increased since many men work outside in the weather, hot or cold.
Special Ingredients for Men
Witch hazel helps with the above conditions but cannot do it all by itself. It can help with the aging look.
Natural vitamin E is a must for men in their products. It acts as a good preservative and also as an antioxidant. Antioxidants fight free radicals that cause skin damage.
There are a number of other ingredients that men should consider when choosing skin care products. Yes, they can be difficult to find because the cosmetic companies cater primarily to womens market.
But remember this: The ingredients must be natural and should never be imitation or synthetic. As mentioned before, vitamin E is an excellent preservative but some companies use parabens to extend the shelf life of their product lines. Parabens have been under suspicion as being harmful to the health.
