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).
