Let’s face it, looks are important to everyone.  Men as well as women are concerned about their looks and are more then ever concerned about the signs of aging that start to occur in our 30’s and 40’s.

The make up of men’s and women’s skin is different especially facial skin.  While there is any number of women’s products on store shelves, none of them have been formulated for men.  So, don’t go looking for the best face cream for men among products made for women.

Men’s skin is about 25% thicker than women’s skin.  Facial hair on men provides more natural oil which in turn keeps the skin moisture level high.  This type of skin is more likely to have skin problems like pimples and blackheads.

1. If you feel your face is still too oily add an astringent after you wash.

After washing the face, most men will shave next.  Shaving can cause many skin issues, often referred to as razor burn.  Never use a razor without using a shaving gel.  Gels containing a moisturizer are best.  Always shave the direction the hair grows and don’t press too hard.  Finally, two things to remember after shaving, beware of strong perfumed aftershaves that can irritate and always clean your razor with alcohol to kill the millions of bacteria.

Many men call it quits after the wash and shave leaving out the most important part of maintaining a youthful appearance.  Moisturizing the skin with the best face cream available is your best defense against the aging process.

The best face cream for your face should be able to repair general damage from exposure to the environment; it should repair damaged skin, decrease ‘age’ spots and finally smooth the skin and ease inflammation redness.

Redness in the skin is caused by PGE2, a prostaglandin.  Recent research has discovered a natural substance, Cynergy TK that blocks up to 70% of this prostaglandin, thus reducing redness.

Researchers also found the Cynergy TK has two other powerful actions.  Collagen a protein that keeps skin firm and strong has been stimulated and levels of elastin that provides flexibility in skin have both increased when Cynergy TK was used.

Another critical component to effectively moisturizing male skin is neutralizing the millions of free radicals in the environment that attach the skin.  These free radicals can only be combated using a powerful anti-oxidant.

The best skin cream for men will also contain something like Nano-Lipobelle H EQ10.  Due to the thickness of male skin, penetrating seven layers of skin is something that not all moisturizers can do.  Nano-Lipobelle H EQ10 is an emulsion that is proven to penetrate to the seventh layer and neutralizes free radicals at every level.

Men can now easily treat the signs of aging in a discrete way.  By keeping the face clean with soap and water and observing simple do’s and don’ts of shaving, the foundation to better skin is laid.
