Can anyone recommend me a good anti-wrinkle moisturizer for men? Is there any real difference between skin care products for males and females? What ingredients should I look for? Thanks!
My husband is 32 and wanted to start using skin care products. He uses Jack Black's Double Duty moisturizer, which is a moisturizer made just for men and it has SPF 20 in it for sun protection.
my boyfriend is in the same boat. i am trying organic skin care and am trying to find out more about its benefits. it does seem to be the new trend and mayb worth trying....he is trying the creams i bought...guys!!....i wil let u know how he gets along
You should try products by The Art of Shaving and kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. Their pre-shave oil, shaving cream and after shave are great skin conditioners for men. The full sized set is a bit pricey, but I bought it for my husband for his birthday and it lasts about six months depending on how often you shave. We also share all of our skin care products, and have yet to find any discrepancies in the way they effect our male/female skin. Basically, if you look for ingredients with integrity, and try to stay away from alcohol in ingredients (which dries out the skin), you are on your way. (By the way, Art of Shaving products have no alcohol.)
I've tried nearly every men's grooming product out there and have multiple brands in my bathroom. It all depends on your skin type and what your goals are. If you haven't used a moisturizer before, you probably don't have skin that is too dry so I suggest an oil-free light moisturizer with an SPF. The SPF is what is going to keep you looking young as sun damage is the number one cause of aging. Go to a store and get samples of some of these to see which works best for you. Here's what's in my bathroom:
1) Natura Bisse, Hydra Complex SPF 10 with Retinol - quite pricey but works very well and one of my favs
2)Art of Shaving Moisturizer with Orange Essential Oil - light and smells great, but doesn't have an SPF. The company says the orange essential oil provides natural protection, but I always like putting an SPF on anyway
3) Hampton Sun Super Hydration Face Cream - a little on the thicker side, but hypoallergenic/fragrance free and has SPF 15.
4) BodyTools Repair and Protect - has tea tree oil to help heal your skin after shaving and also has SPF 15. It's unscented, so you can smell the tea tree oil which is quite strong, but I like it.
5) Neutrogena Men's SPF 20 Face Lotion - you can find this at any drugstore, is inexpensive and goes on light, soothes the skin and smells good.
Have you tried Nu Skin Products? I've just recently been turned on to them and my husband is now using their skin products and he loves them. Maybe it would be an avenue that you would be interested in exploring.
My husband enjoys taking care of his skin and uses a facial mask by CJ Skin Care. It removes all the old dead skin and keeps his complexion clear. He also says it conditions his beard and makes it easier to groom. The other thing he likes is the body polish.
