Anti Aging Skin Care for Men?

We ladies know the importance of skin care for men, but the guys have a tendency to dismiss it as frivolous. But we can help them.

A friend and I had been talking one day and said she wanted to suggest the idea to her husband to start using  anti aging skin care products. You see, her husband had been a  contractor for over 30 years; in his youth he surfed.  In his early thirties his skin was tan and attractive.

But when the big 4-oh! birthday rolled around the damage from sun and salt water exposure had aged his skin significantly. Age spots were starting to surface, man wrinkles too, and a rather tired, weathered look to his face made him look older than his years. He really needed some anti aging skin care for men.

I am not one to push anything on anyone, least of all my best friend’s beloved, but she asked for my help. So I researched a few  skin care articles  directed towards men’s skin care and asked him to read them and let me know what he thought.

And he did. Then proceeded to research more about anti aging skin care ingredients and cutting edge technology. He’s an analytical guy anyway, so this did not surprise my friend or me.

But what floored us was his decision to start using an anti aging moisturizer designed specifically  for men’s skin (vs her skin care products) and stopped using the commercial chemical laden stuff he’d been using for years.

Now, my friend’s husband is not a vain person. No way! But he told me it was the chemical aspect of  what he’d been using that made him pay more attention. His own research had shown there were 3 things required for a skin care product to really do anything to restore the damage to his skin:

1) stimulating collagen and the regrowth of elastin

2) increasing hyaluronic acid

3) eliminating free radicals

After three short weeks my friend’s husband did in fact look younger, healthier and his skin was amazingly soft to the touch; both  were thrilled with the results.  It was rather amazing to witness.

If getting your guy to use skin care products  seems like an impossibility…try the ingredients/chemical angle. Or find a quality anti aging skin care product for men and just mention you bought him something to try.

Chances are he, and you, will be thrilled with the results when using the most effective skin care for men.
