| Description: | The right face wash, shaving cream, and moisturizer are very important in maintaining your boyish good looks and groomed image. |
Many stores carry a wide variety of grooming products for men. In the past few years, these products have included face washes, shaving creams, moisturizers, toners and many other things. They are all selling like hot cakes! Finding the right face wash, shaving cream, and moisturizer is very important for not only maintaining your groomed image, but also maintaining your boyish good looks.
Shaving is a very important process in which everyone has their own little tricks. You can find your perfect shaver, figure out if you are a nighttime shaver or a morning shaver, and even try shaving in the shower. Whatever it may be, with trial and error you will eventually find your way to the right methods and products that work for you. Everyone’s skin is different so it is very important to get products that are right for your skin type.
The first brand we will discuss is the Lab Series skin care for men. First start with the multi-action face wash, then go on to the maximum comfort shaving cream and finish up with the daily moisture defense lotion with SPF 15. This is a routine for a man that is shaving in the morning. The SPF will keep the rays off your face and keep your skin looking healthy for years to come. If you are a nighttime shaver, you will not use the SPF 15 lotion. Using SPF at night can clog pores and therefore give you pimples. So, use the lotion without the SPF at night and get the lotion with anti-oxidants. The anti-oxidants will help to fight wrinkles.
Another great brand is the Keihls facial fuel line. Start with the facial fuel scrub, move on to the white eagle shave cream and end with the anti-wrinkle facial fuel cream. This is a routine brand that I would suggest for a nighttime shaver because it does not contain SPF in the moisturizer. You can always add on an extra step and put on two lotions, but it might make your skin feel oily. If you use the moisturizer alone, it is a non-shine and non-oily lotion. Your skin will be left feeling smooth but not overdone. Kiehls has been around since the 1960s and one third of their customers are men, so they must be doing something right!
The next brand is an up-and-coming line that was originally available exclusively at Barneys in New York called Anthony Logistics for Men. Now this company has expanded to over 25 countries and you can purchase it at Barneys, Sephora, and over the internet. Start with the algae facial cleanser, and then move on to the shave gel and finish up with the oil-free facial lotion with SPF 15. Again, if you prefer to shave at night, choose the oil-free facial lotion without the SPF. The last brand we will discuss is Leaf and Rusher of Beverly Hills. Two dermatologists who cater to the stars of Beverly Hills originally created Leaf and Rusher. Their tag line is “test on celebrities, not animals!” Begin with the green tea wash and the TX formula with DNA resolve. To try a simple three piece set you can purchase the “mini essentials kit” at DermaStore.com. The only thing this brand is missing is a shaving cream, but you can use another brand to substitute. This brand contains many anti-oxidants even in the cleansers so you can get the full benefit out of them. If it’s good enough for the stars, it’s good enough for you!
Regardless of what time of day you choose to do your shaving, you must make sure to wash your face twice a day. All night you sweat and all day dirt gets into your pores, so give them a rinse both times and clean them out. Make sure to always follow up with a lotion. SPF is so important to have on during the day in the sun to prevent wrinkle or skin damage. On the other end of things at night, it is so important to put on a lotion with anti-oxidants in it to repair your skin and replenish it. Anti-oxidants are substances that protect cells from the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. In other words, they are the good guys fighting off the bad guys! All these little things are vital in maintaining smooth, young-looking skin.
