What
is the minimum skin care that a man needs?
Protection
against sun: There
should be no argument at all why we need to protect our skin against the
sun. First and foremost is
the risk of skin cancer. Second,
exposure to sun makes the skin older soon.
So the part of the body that a woman sees first should look the
best.
Skin
cleanser: I know we men
are lazy and end up putting some cheap soap on our faces every day.
This is an absolute No-No. What
you need is a
cleanser. It
eliminates impurities on the skin (sweat, dirt, etc.) and is not harsh
on the skin as most soaps are. If
you insist on using soaps, try to buy those that have no fragrance and
artificial color.
Moisturizer:
Yes, those of us who are constantly inside buildings get easily
dehydrated. During the long
winter months in most parts of the US, our skin also deals with very dry air if
at all we get exposed to any. Most
of the time we are indoors in heated homes and other buildings where air
can be excessively dry. A
moisturizer is a must for the skin to function properly.
Face
scrub: Remember
I told you about all those dead cells on the skin.
If these are not removed, they accumulate and do not allow fresh
skin cells to come out. Over
time, your skin looks ‘old’, ‘flaky, ‘dead’, and lacks
radiance. Do not think that
Ben Affleck’s skin is only a gift of Nature!
All celebrities look so damn attractive because of greater care
that they take of themselves and right
personal care products that they
use. When you see them in
public, more often than not, they are also wearing makeup to conceal
skin imperfections. So at
least a weekly scrub allows all the dead cells to be washed off, leaving
behind a shiny skin.
Can
you do more?
Absolutely.
I personally see no embarrassment in taking care of yourself.
Even if you are called names, or a metrosexual,
I see no reason why that should be a problem.
Our body is the only thing that we have as long as we live.
While I think that a good body allows me to attract more women,
well, that should not be the only reason to take care of the body.
Apart
of products that are needed for basic hygiene, the ones that I think are
the minimum, as described above, you also need to nourish your skin.
With these
nourishing products applied regularly, you are
basically
delaying aging. Remember,
it is much easier to
delay wrinkles than to eliminate them.
In fact I am not convinced that wrinkles can be truly eliminated
but my discussions with experts tell me that good skin care can
definitely delay onset of old age by at least a decade.
