A Lil' Skin TLC For Men


Every man knows that nothing is sexier or exudes more confidence than a well pressed suit accompanied by the necessary accessories of cuff links and a nice wrist watch. But did you know that many men forget about the one most obvious accessory that receives more attention than any Armani suit ever could? Your skin!

Your skin isn't just that thing that you rake a razor over every day or so. It's your calling card...and just like you wouldn't hand over a bent and stained business card, don't leave your house with skin that's been ignored and looks as such. A few key things the stylish man should consider before leaving the house every morning:

1. If shaving leaves you feeling like you just finished rubbing your face with a cactus, consider using a moisturizer. Our editor's pick: Clinique's M Lotion is hypoallergenic and is almost 100% effective for any skin type.

2. Your face isn't the only part of your body that needs moisturizing. Considering that you probably shake quite a few hands in the given course of a day, do you really want someone to have the impression that your personal care habits could use some assistance? Our editor's pick: Nivea For Men is a "no mess no fuss" approach to lotion and since it's fashioned with the same moisturizers used in the women's line, we feel that it's a must have!

3. For those who like to decorate their face with mustaches, beards and gotees, as long as it's trimmed, we're in love with them too! Our editor's pick (for those who don't go to the salon to be professionally trimmed): Norelco with Nivea Moisturizing Lotion offers the best of both worlds, precision trimming and moisturizing lotion all in one easy step.

4. Don't forget that there's skin on your feet too. Regardless of whether you live in a constant warm weather climate or you're like us in NYC, your feet should not give cause for screams. Your feet and hands are extensions of your body, the way you treat them is a good example of how you might treat extensions of your life. Our Editor's Pick: It's best to go to a reputable salon. Besides the fact that you may not be able to give yourself a great pedicure, it's a great way to take a moment to relax during your hectic week!
