The basics to a skin care regiment for men • Cleanser: Deep, yet not harsh,
cleansing is a must for men. Use a product that draws out impurities, micro exfoliates, and softens sebum blockages. Men....put the bar of soap down—this is not an equivalent to a true facial cleanser. If your face feels dry and tight after your cleanse - bad news, this is an indicator that the products you are using are actually strip- ping your delicate skin of moisture. • Balancer/Toner: Disinfects the skin and balances the PH level. Using a balanc-
ing product with Eucalyptus, Dandelion, and Tea Tree creates an unstoppable bat- talion of antibacterial, antiseptic, and antimicrobial agents, which fi ght infl am- mation and clear pores of residual debris. • Serum: For restorative and rejuve-
nating benefi ts. Serums penetrate to the deepest levels of the dermis to feed and nourish the skin from the inside out. Utiliz- ing a serum packed with antioxidants targets infl ammation and rejuvenates the complexion. Vitamins A, B, and C help heal, regenerate, and repair compromised skin structures. • Moisturizer: Your defense in a bot- tle! Use an ultra light moisturizer that
defends against the permeation of envi- ronmental pollutants and toxins. Aloe, almond and jojoba oils are wonderful ingredients that calm and soothe the skin. Let's not forget about supplemental
products that target the eye area, exfoliants that combat black heads and ingrown hairs, and creams for specifi c irritation due to shaving!
Take charge of your skin and health 60% of what we put on to our skin
penetrates into our bloodstream, cells, and organs. It's not possible to just shop our way out of this problem. Without new laws, hazardous chemicals will remain in the majority of personal care products – and the problem will remain hidden from consumers. Many of the toxic chemicals described above are not listed on product labels due to loopholes that allow compa- nies to keep secret the chemicals in fra- grances (such as DEP) and the hazardous impurities (such as formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane) that are commonly found in products. It's imperative for men to fi nd skin care companies that support sustainability, provide full disclosure of ingredients on labels, and are formulated to your spe- cifi c skin type. Our health and wellness is under our control, and once we begin to understand how our bodies function and operate we make better choices that pro- mote optimal health - and this begins with protecting your largest organ that was designed to protect you!
