Men's skin isn't exactly the same as women's because men shave, which exfoliates (good) but can irritate (bad), and may get ingrown hairs (also bad). Because men shave, I tend to think manual exfoliating products aren't the best choices for most males. AHAs, BHAs and retinoids are fine, though, unless the skin is supersensitive. And antioxidants like topical vitamin C are key, not least because they enhance the effectiveness of sunscreen. I think it's a good idea for men to use a vitamin C or other antioxidant serum during the day under their sunscreen and an exfoliating product at night, nightly if skin isn't too sensitive, less often if it is. The products needn't be formulated for men, however. In fact, I think the formulations for most men's products are not particularly good. A lot of them contain alcohol, which is drying and unnecessarily irritating, especially to just-shaved skin. And, I think men's products tend to lag behind women's in terms of using the latest state-of-the-art anti-aging ingredients. I don't think there's a man's line out there that contains pentapeptides, for instance. <BR/><BR/>So, basically, I think you're doing a good thing for yourself by using women's moisturizers in formulations that are appropriate for your skintype.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756612894464967228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21382063.post-1139480200438623492006-02-09T05:16:00.000-05:002006-02-09T05:16:00.000-05:00Marlen, I don't think that men need to use a produ...Marlen, I don't think that men need to use a product geared towards men. There are SO many wonderful skin care products on the market now. I think men (like women) just need to find one that is compatible to skin type and that does the job.fragrance loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01422869815810741065noreply@blogger.com
