Skincare & Grooming for Men
« Previous ArticlesBikini waxing for men!??!
Feature by our Editorial Assistant Colleen
I don’t think that this is a new concept. Guys have had the option of going for a bikini wax for awhile now.
My boyfriend told me that in his first year of university, over six years ago, there were already guys in his residence that spoke openly about getting a Brazilian. A bunch of my guy friends are pretty frank about keeping their skin nice, which means using skincare products.

Easy body grooming for men thanks to Braun BodycruZer
Thanks to Chippendale dancers (not really my cup of tea) and reality shows featuring shirtless buff men, a lot more regular guys are now opting to go hairless.
I’ve only tried waxing a few times in my life and each time I thought I would start seeing angels fly because the pain was unbearable.
I was greeted with the same painful experience when I tried laser hair removal … but it could be that I just don’t like pain or discomfort.

Men don’t want PARABENS in their skincare anymore!
Men are becoming more aware of parabens, which show up as preservatives in countless cosmetic and hygiene products.
The most commonly found parabens include: methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, isobutylparaben and other paraben-suffixed words in their ingredients.
If you look at the ingredient listing of your skincare products, you’ll find them in a number of combinations.

Are you being judged by your first impression?
In my previous post I talk about one of the major reasons that motivated men to seek the help of a cosmetic doctor. If you recall, Dr. Paul Cohen outlined the fact that men are quite concerned with how they are perceived at work and because of this reason, they tend to opt for popular procedures such as Botox Cosmetic® to soften any strong facial muscle that might make them look like they are on edge or worst constantly angry.
It’s important to keep in mind that although the previous post target men, there are a number of women who also have strong genetic facial muscles that makes them look unapproachable.

Skincare cosmetic rejuvenation treatments for men over 35
Are men making appointments with plastic surgeons or cosmetic dermatologist to turn back the hands of time?
Not long ago, we received a request from one of our male readers. It was very exciting to see that men are also concerned about looking as young as they feel … as they age. Mark is a 50-something year old Texan who is looking for ways to have his inside match his outside. Basically, Mark feels 40, but when he looks in the mirror, he sees a man who’s much older than 40.

No more shave bumps for black men
Ingrown hair caused by shaving is the #1 skin concern of black men. It’s estimated that as many as 80 per cent of black men suffer from the unpleasant, unattractive and sometimes painful effects of razor bumps.
There is very little than can be done other than prevention and post-shave treatments because this problem is directly related to genetics and the way their hair grows out.

Men have to pay more for Botox® than women!
We might pay way more for haircuts and basic skin care products than men, but the tables are turning and when it comes to Botox rejuvenation treatments … men are dishing out more for their rejuvenation treatments than women.
It’s true that Botox injections are still more popular among women than men, but more and more men are now getting in on the action because they either want to minimize the appearance of aging on their face or because they work in an environment/industry where they have to appear as youthful as possible.

Skin care lines for men are on a rise!
***Best Beauty Gifts***
According to a survey conducted by “Datamonitor, 73% of US and European men said that is was ‘important’ or ‘very important’ for them to spend in front of the mirror”. The same survey found that “72% of women felt the same way”.
That said, men have different concerns than we do when it comes to skin care. They aren’t yet focusing anti-aging products like many women. That said, grooming and shaving seem to be top on their list.
Another differentiating point between the genders is that men aren’t interested in having different skin care products for different skin care issues. They love products that have multiple functions. Where we buy an SPF protection, a moisturizer and an anti-aging/protection product, men want all of those properties in one product.
