| The Key Shaving Ingredient |
 |
|
Very few men can
actually get away with that devil-may-care scruff
on their faces and the ones that can have last names
like Pitt and Clooney.
So if the thought of
shaving every day has you stocking up on tissues,
consider investing in a professional shaving lotion
created especially for your sensitive skin. Look for
ingredients like avacado oil and comfrey. Try
applying hot towels to you face to soften hair
follicles before shaving.

| Q & A with Christie |
 |
Question I'm in my early thirties and I still
have acne. I went to a dermatologist who gave me a
face wash that dried my skin so badly that it
started to flake and produce terrible breakouts. My
skin isn't terribly oily, only slightly so. Are
there any grooming products for my skin type?
Christie: Your skin should never feel that
dry after you wash it; try to avoid detergent based
cleansers and never wash your face with soap. Use a
mild benzoyle peroxide spot treatment for
acne (5% or less) anything too strong will over dry
your skin and worsen the problem. Always use
a hydrating, water based moisturizer no matter how
oily your skin is.
Question: The pores on my nose are really
big
and noticeable from a distance. I also have a
problem with blackheads on my nose. I tried
exfoliation, but that didn't seem to help. Is there
anything I can do?
Christie: There is really no way to shrink
pores, so the best you can do is to keep them clean
so that they appear to be smaller. For blackheads,
try an over-the-counter product (toner, astringent,
cleanser) that contains salicylic acid. You might
also want to consider scheduling regular facials, if
your skin isn't too sensitive. A skilled
esthetician will be able to perform extractions
without damaging your epidermis. (The upper or outer
layer of the two main layers of cells that make up
the skin).

Your mother was right guys, good posture
simply oozes strength and confidence and it will
come naturally to you when you become comfortably
aware of yourself.
Scheduling a regular
massage
session is a very effective way of keeping your
spinal column aligned, your muscles relaxed and
your overall form balanced.
