Should men use a different range of skincare products, or do skin cremes formulated for women work just as well for men?

Interesting question, should men use skin care products that are basically formulated for women? Is the best skin creme for men just the best skin creme for women?

Or to put it another way, is there any difference between mens skin, and womens skin?

The basic processes of skin aging are the same for men and women. Both men and womens skin ages and forms the visible signs of aging because of two simple reasons.

1. As we age our skin’s store of collagen and elastin reduces because the skin makes less and less collagen and elastin.

2. Free radicals damage our skin.

This is the same for everybody, although the rate at which this dererioration in skin health happens varies from individual to individual depending on other factors as well, including lifestyle factors like diet, exercise and smoking.

So the basics of slowing the aging process are the same for men and women. Replace lost collagen and elastin, and fight free radical damage.

Xtend life make the worlds best skin care cremes, including the best skin creme for men, and they work so well because they do exactly that, they stimulate the skin to replace the collagen and elastin that they have lost, and they fight free radical damage.

But is there a specific mens skin care range, or does Xtend Life just suggest using womens skin cremes?

Xtend life do a mens skin care range because, although the basic process of skin aging are the same for men or women, and the major ingredients needed in top quality natural skin care products are the same, there are still specific problems that need to be addressed for mens skin care.

Specifically that mens skin is more prone to inflammation than womens skin, and so their skin creme for men includes ingredients targeted to reduce skin inflammation. Read the rest of this entry

Men are starting to care for their skin now. It wouldn’t have happened in my day!

By Peter, an editor of Natural Health – Natural Skin Care.

Men’s skin care is big business now. Bit by bit men are starting to realize that they too should be taking care of themselves.

It wouldn’t have happened when I was young! Back then, (a long time ago), men were real men. They ate a lot of steak, went to the doctor if they were about to die, usually just before, and went camping and shooting a lot.

Skin care? What was that? Skincare was women’s business. And the same with fashion. Mens fashion was a new pair of jeans, and about the only skin products men would be seen using was shaving cream.

Now men, (including me) are starting to wake up to skin care and lots of other things. For my part, I did lot of silly things to my skin, but then we didn’t know any better. I got burned over and over again, for example.

Now I’m a candidate for skin cancer, and my dad has already had it.

So skin care is now an issue for men. Me included.

And we need to take overall care for ourselves too. For my part I now take much more care of myself. I limit the steak, try and keep fit and visit the doctor for checkup every year.

Mens fashion/grooming has come of age. Men’s skin  care products are hot now.

This includes a wide range of mens grooming products, including hair care, nail care, facial care and various other mens grooming, fashion and skin products, including shaving products.

Men’s skin has many of the same issues as women’s skin. And there are many of the same solutions. Often for a man it’s as much about health as it is about looks, but for many men now taking care of their skin is about looks as well, particularly as they age.

As skin is skin, high quality men’s skin care products utilize many of the same techniques and ingredients that womens anti aging skin care products use. And these mens anti aging skincare products work extremely well for men too.

Note, however, that I said “high quality” mens anti aging skincare products. The big brand name products generally aren’t high quality, and as we’ve pointed out here often, can contain the same harmful ingredients that womens skincare products often contain.

Luckily Xtend Life have also released a range of mens skin care products that are every bit as good as their womens skin care products. Natural skin care products for men that don’t contain harmful ingredients, and work better than the big brand name products do too.

So if you’re a man, or perhaps a woman thinking about your man, be thankful. Men are now beginning to wake up to the importance of high quality mens skin care, and are, slowly, beginning to use skin care products to their advantage. Read the rest of this entry
