Men’s “Skin Care: 10” for Better Skin

This winter the weather has been more up and down than a roller coaster at Six flags over Georgia, and if you’re like me you’ve had a little trouble trying to keep your skin healthy and hydrated from this warm, cold, dry and wet weather. Here are some affordable skincare tips I’ve discovered for us guys to keep our skin feeling healthy, smooth and looking good.

FaceTime:

Even though the humidity is constantly changing from day to day, the continuous change in weather will make your face feel anything but oily or dry. It’s still important to exfoliate, slough away dead skin cells, dirt and oil and leave your face feeling fresh and ready to absorb moistures. It is hard enough trying to find a face wash product that is not laced with chemicals that could cause harm to you at a reasonable price, but for the budget conscious guy here’s a natural product you can try Bulldog Natural Skincare Face Wash for Men. Bulldog Natural skincare products never contain artificial ingredients, synthetic fragrances or ingredients from animal sources. This product helps with dry or oily skin and is a great facial wash for daily use. I use it myself. I naturally have oily skin and a lot of facial cleansers dry my face out. This face wash does not dry up your face and is gentle enough to make your face feel fresh and clean. This face wash definitely does its job properly and I highly recommend you try it.

You’ll Never Be Smoother! Check Out The Van Der Hagen (@vanderhagenent) Shave Set!

Guys, let’s face it. Shaving can be a real pain in the a–! The stubble, the figuring out how your hair grows, lathering, etc. It can all be a big much. Most people think the key to a great shave all lies with the razor. Most people would be wrong! The key to having your manly mug feel like a baby’s bottom all lies with the shaving accessories. A badger brush, soap, and stand and bowl are all you need, but only if it’s from Van Der Hagen! Over the years I have definitely been one of those guys who hated to shave, finding it hard to find a product that could give me the clean shave I desired, without razor bumps or scars from knicks. This is the first product that did not agitate my skin or leave me with unwanted stubble.

Van Der Hagen has definitely produced a quality project. Each of the accessories for the shaving set are old school, giving you the feel of a barber from the turn of the last century. I really loved the soap used for lathering. You can tell it was specifically made for this purpose as it does not dry your skin out or leave behind scummy residue. As you know dry skin and soap scum can make an awful shave as they leave the skin exposed, cracked, and vulnerable to cuts; in addition to preventing a close shave. As a man, and one who prides himself on being well groomed this is definitely a product I will be recommending to my friends. Don’t forget Christmas is right around the corner, and this set will make one awesome gift for a friend, or if you’re a woman, the amazing man in your life!

Man Clues–The Non-Verbal Cues of Undies!

They say clothes make the man. To a degree they are right. Based on what a man wears he can be labeled a professional, Classic Man, or even a corner thug. However, we always stop at outer wear when we check out male clothing, failing to realize what he wears underneath his pants is just as important–if not more so–a huge clue to his character and intent. This is not an uncommon assertion as women unfortunately judged by their unmentionables all the time. Just ask some of the rape victims whose credibility was questioned simply because they were wearing a thong when assaulted. Sick right, but it pushes the issue. Just what do a man’s underwear say about him? Look and learn.

Boxers

Boxers are lounging pieces. The only real thing that makes them different from shorts is the hole in the front. A guy wearing these is usually on a chill tip, really just wanting to be comfortable and free. Unlike some of the other underwear you will see they do not “hug” on the penis and testicles. As a man that is very comfortable. You are free and get to breathe down there, eliminating sweat and the oh so annoying “testicles- tuck-to- the-high” issue. Most guys go for cottton, but silk is better.

Classic Man–The New Male Standard

With Artists like Jidenna, the self-proclaimed Classic Man, it’s safe to say that the nature men’s fashion is changing. Men picking whatever’s clean to wear is no longer acceptable. No, not all men are guilty of this, but they’re starting to be called out.

This isn’t discredit men who’ve been dressing to impress for years; it’s just your style is at its prime. The classic man look is expanding and gaining a lot of attention, especially from women. Most women appreciate men taking equal effort in their attire and appearance as women do. Men sagging their pants and half wrinkled shirts has never been attractive.

So what does a “Classic Man’ look like? He’s well put together; he looks dapper at all times. A classic man’s clothes can be tailored and the outfit looks like it was made specifically for him and it fits his frame perfectly. You may even see this man is a suit at all times.

As far as facial features go a classic man is tapered and neat. He’s well-groomed and looks like he just stepped fresh out of the barbershop.

This look is appealing to women because it signifies growth and maturity; classic men make their presence known through their attire. This look demands attention. It’s just an overall great look. Other male fashion styles aren’t obsolete, it’s just the Classic Man style is on the rise.

So fellas the next time you go shopping consider picking up that blazer instead of that t-sh
