Men need skin care too


Husbands and boyfriends all over the country are sneaking into their wives' or girlfriends' medicine cabinets to snag some of their creamy, luxurious skin care products.


Hide no more, boys. There's no need to be ashamed of wanting soft, healthy skin.


AskMen.com recommends a five-step method that begins with cleansing the skin with an effective yet gentle facial soap. Next, exfoliate the skin with a scrub to remove dirt hiding deep within the pores and to soften beard follicles.


Skin also needs to be moisturized. Try a brand with SPF to prevent age- and sun-related wrinkles. The source reports that most men begin looking their age when the skin around their eyes develops fine lines, so use an eye cream to help slow this. Finally, AskMen.com recommends using lip balm to prevent chapping.


According to WebMD, men can avoid getting dry skin by showering in lukewarm water as opposed to hot, and limiting shower times to five to 10 minutes.


Additionally, African American women are not the only ones who experience uneven tone or dark spots. Men with these issues should consider skin care products for black skin to help reduce the appearance of such discolorations.
