Cleansing the Taboo of Men’s Grooming Products
By Janet Frnzyan
Historically, beauty products have largely been associated with women. Hair care, cuticle cream, moisturizer; the list goes on and on. Women swear by an endless spectrum of self-beautifying products. So naturally, who can blame men for shying away from any product that seems the slightest bit girly? Most men, if not all, believe that if they use grooming products they will seem too feminine.
However, in the past few years, with the introduction of the Metrosexual (yes, I get manicures, facials and I DO wear gel in my hair) the tides have changed and men are coming to embrace the better points of good grooming. In the spirit of evolution, there is a new breed of new men’s grooming products on the market that appeal to the manly man. Tailgating no longer means clogged pores.
Enter Nivea for Men’s Deep Cleaning Face Scrub. This specially formulated product gently purifies skin and helps clear away build up dirt and dry rough skin while helping prevent clogged pores. It leaves skin kissably smooth and invigorated.
After cleansing, try using Gillette Complete Skin Care with SPF 15. This daily facial moisturizer is dermatologist tested, and designed to help deliver healthier looking skin in just 14 days. The moisturizing lotion offers a soothing way to maintain that fresh out of the shower feel all day long; and it’s great for sensitive guys because it’s fragrance free. The light non-greasy formula is fortified with vitamins to dramatically moisturize and give skin extra protection all year long.
Hhoever said that lotion was just for women was seriously misinformed. Heel To Toe Therapeutic Healing Foot Repair softens and smoothes rough cracked heals and calluses. This soothing lotion provides quick relief for tired aching feet, while it revitalizes and deodorizes at the same time.
After an invigorating shower, conclude the pampering session with a long-lasting deodorant stick that fights odor two different ways and gives you protection all day long. Natural Care from Tom’s of Maine uses Zinc Ricinoleate, made from Castor beans which helps absorb and neutralize odor while the natural botanicals Lichen and Coriander counterbalance bacteria.
With the proper grooming, men can now leave the house feeling more confident without worrying about looking like a pretty boy. A simple skincare regimen and a little primping can make a guy feel like the hottest guy on the planet.
