Facial Skin Care for Men
Believe it or not, men do have the same skin issue as women. Women usually get the limelight on facial products and care but men tend to shy away from this matter. Men also do get wrinkles and pimples, dry skin and oily skin, cancer and many of them suffer with pimples all their life. Nowadays, men skin care is gaining more attention from various parties regarding men skin care, but how can men find the best solution for them.
Men and women have different skin but how can we differentiate between them? Men do not spend much money on cosmetics, facial wash but shave more than women. There are more products for women but there are some for men. However, the publicity of skin care products for men is insignificant compared to women’s.
Here are some good tips that men can follow to ensure good and healthy face. Use facial cleanser once in the morning and once in the evening, try to avoid soap as it can make your skin dry. When shaving, try using mild shaving cream or gel, shave at least 1-3 times a week. Breakouts should be treated with antibacterial products, use sunscreen products with SPF 15 if you are going out on the sun and use moisturizer on dry skin area.
Since men usually shave more then women, but it is not often to encounter problems like ingrown hairs, razor burn or irritation from shaving. Shaving products should not sting actually. When we are shaving hairs off our face, sometimes we tend to shave off the skin without noticing. This is bad as our skin will be irritated.
If you do experience any rash, most likely it is due to the products that you have used before, during or after shaving. Most of the products contain ingredients that irritate the skin such as alcohol, menthol, camphor and peppermint. If one is still facing problems as such, it’s time to move on to a new and different shaving product. Shaving cream or gels that contains emollient ingredients is suitable because it keeps the skin smooth and mosturized. Furthermore, look for ingredients that have aloe, silicone or allantoin which is listed the first five ingredients in shaving products. Products which is ‘alcohol free’ is also important as it will not be irritate the skin while shaving.
Men’s skin is sensitive thus men should be more careful while choosing products for their face and take good care. Hopefully in the future, there will be more skin care products for men with different type of skins.

What is the proper way to care for your skin? What is a facial?
For a woman!
What is included in a daily facial/skin care routine?
Does it go like this?
Wash with scrubbing stuff
Wash with facial soap
Wash with cleanser
Put on lotion
Put on eye cream
Put on sunscreen
Put on makeup
How is this supposed to go?
What exactly is a facial anyway?
Can I buy the stuff I need at the store?

i just wash my face everyday and night
a facial is just a special mix that cleans your face. a facial mask dries up and then you peel it off after about 10 or 20 mintues

you QT pie!!
before bed: you do want a gentle exfoliant (nothing with walnut shell or peach pits, use an oat bar or something like it) then an eye cream and facial moisturizer.
in the morning: just pure cool water, then a light moisturizer. a good one will have spf in it.
doing too much to your face will irritate it.
drink lots of water, don’t smoke, keep alcohol moderate.
getting a facial lets a professional do it deeper and involves extractions and a masque. these are good also in moderation, 6x per year tops.

Not the sunscreen part! A facial is when they put a mask that smoothes and cleans your skind! Sometimes they out makeup on you!

Before we start with the proper daily step-by-step skincare routine, you’ll need to know her skin type. How you care for your skin is utterly dependent on the type of skin you have: oily, normal/combination, dry, sensitive or sun- damaged.
The characteristics of skin are:
Normal to Dry:
Normal – Not too oily or dry, few blemishes, skin is firm and is generally smooth with small pores. Dry – Due to sun and age, skin may lack natural oils. May look smooth with fine pores, few blackheads and blemishes.
Normal to Oily:
Normal – Not oily or dry, few blemishes, skin is firm and is generally smooth with small pores. Oily – Shiny and coarse, may have recurring blackheads and enlarged pores, often youthful looking.
Combination:
Oily T-zone (forehead, nose and chin). Normal to dry around cheeks and throat. Can be oily along chin, jaw, temples and dry elsewhere.
Acne/Blemishes:
Generally oily. Blackheads and pimples. Potential scarring and pitting.
Sensitive:
Extremely delicate. Broken capillaries, veins and vessels beneath skin surface. Should not be over stimulated.
Mature:
Fine lines. Loose, “crépe-like” appearance. Loss of elasticity.
After choosing your skin type now we can proceed with the step-by-step for a good skin care regimen. This is my skin care regimen from Arbonne http://arbonnepuertorico.myarbonne.com
Step 1: NutriMinC RE9 REnewing Gelée Créme, Hydrating Wash Should be used in the morning and evening.
Step 2: NutriMinC RE9 REveal Facial Scrub or NutriMinC RE9 RElease Deep Pore Cleansing Masque (this is optional to the set) Used after cleansing up to two times per week.
Step 3: NutriMinC RE9 REstoring Mist Balancing Toner Should be used in the morning and evening.
Step 4: NutriMinC RE9 REversing Gelée Transforming Lift
In the morning or on special occasions, wait at least two or three minutes before applying NutriMinC RE9 Reactivating Facial Serum Day & Night.
Step 5: NutriMinC RE9 REactivating Facial Serum Day/ Night
Should be used in the morning and evening, used after RE9 Toner if not using RE9 Lift
Step 6: NutriMinC RE9 REality Day Crème or NutriMinC RE9 Recover Night Crème Day Crème used in the morning, Night Crème in the evening.
Step 7: NutriMinC RE9 REpair Corrective Eye Crème
Should be used in the morning and evening.
Following these steps you will definately give her the best gift ever!!! The amazing results are awesome
