Guys! Good Skin Care is for You Too!

Men traditionally spend less time caring for their skin, but that doesn't mean their skin doesn't need care! The majority of men don't have a skin care routine, or quickly wash their face in the shower. Men who have had problems with their facial skin due to ingrown hairs from shaving may benefit from RxSkin Therapy's Clarifying Wash.

As men age, we can physically see signs of aging. The skin around a guy's jowls is the first to go because the epidermis thins with age. If you are concerned about this, you might try the RxSkin Therapy Retinol Complex.  This product stimulates collagen to make your skin look plumper and younger.

Younger men in their 20s and 30s are not too worried about sun damage or frown and expression lines, but it's at that point in their lives they they should be taking preventative action. With that in mind, there are two things men can do to prevent sun damage and signs of aging:

1) Use sunscreen. I say this often because it is so important. Find a sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays penetrate deeper and cause the changes that lead to premature wrinkling and loss of elasticity and hydration. UVB rays lead to skin cancers.

2) Stop smoking. You've seen the scientific studies and there's no way around it. The sooner you quit smoking, the better your skin will look. Smoking prematurely ages the skin and will cause wrinkles.

As a man, I get that we don't like putting creams on our skin and it's not something we watched our dads do - but in the long run, it's going to make a big difference in terms of the health of the skin and prevention of skin cancers.
