About Face

Skin care is one of the most neglected aspects in a guy's daily routine and I think most would agree that aging and lifestyle are generally not our friends.  Too much sun exposure, coffee, smoking, drinking alcohol even using certain products can dry out and damage your skin.  While many experts agree that proper rest, hydration and diet are certainly key factors to healthier looking skin, and there are products available to help as well.   Often times it is completely neglected or we just need a little help making better choices for our needs.  The three essential steps should always be cleansing, moisturizing and protecting!  But for many of us daily shaving is added to the routine also which makes the other three steps even more important.

Clean Those Pores 

   For most guys the biggest part of the morning routine is shaving, and a good shave should start with clean skin.  Try using a  cleanser that deep cleans your pores as well as gets rid of the surface dirt and oils.  The harsh deodorant soap you use on the rest of your body is NOT necessarily the best choice for your face.  A good scrub a couple times a weeks is a good idea too, not only do they grind away dead, flaky skin, but they help get blood flowing which can add to a healthier looking complexion.   

While there are many fine products available, we are just going to introduce you to a few essentials without the hassle of visiting a big box store with the clerk trying to sell you everything in the display case.  For daily cleansing, our choices are Clean by Zirh and Glycolic Facial Cleanser from Anthony Logistics, for scrub products we would recommend Zirh, Clinique, Anthony Logistics or Jack Black.
