When my fiancé moved in with me I was shocked to learn he was still washing his face with regular bar soap. When I handed him my face wash he looked at me like I was crazy. Now almost a year later I’ve finally got him worked up to using a moisturizer after shaving and he’d ever admit it but he lives by it! Everyone knows men spend far less,Manly Skin Needs Love Too! Articles time, money and energy caring for their skin, but what most people don’t think about is that they tend to spend a lot more time damaging it then women.  Outdoor activities, sports, household projects, and of course shaving all reek havoc on men’s skin.

            I understand why I got the sideways glance when I handed my fiancé my favorite bubbly bottle of exfoliating cleaner with scented peppermint pearls and pink accents.  I wasn’t going to give up though. The skin if the largest organ in our bodies and it provides a protective layer against the elements and germs.  So it is important for men to go beyond basic grooming  and invest some time and energy in to their skin’s health and longevity.  Most health care professionals agree that this includes a quality, hypoallergenic cleaner that washes away more then surface dirt, and exfoliates away dead, skin cells so that the skin can continue to renew itself. Then following that with an appropriate moisturizer and sunscreen to protect against UV radiation and dryness. 

            I was ecstatic when I discovered that there are men’s skin care lines that provide all that and more with out  the pink bottle.  Men aren’t immune to wrinkles and other signs of aging so they need an eye cream just like we do but one that’s made for them.  Askmen.com thinks that lip balm is the most over looked tool in maintaining a great face for a man.   Their number one tip is to keep it simple enough that you’ll follow it.  So ladies don’t expect your man to take on your 12 step beauty regimen.  Check out  the  ecoenhanced shop online for my favorite brand of manly skin care products that are all naturaland not filled with chemicals which can cause more long term harm then good.  Pick a few and your man is on the way to smooth healthy skin that will keep him looking young and handsome while easing shaving irritation and keeping him healthy.
