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.

Sephora FACE Deep-Down Cleanser is award-worthy
Is your man guilty of skin neglect? A lot of guys will not take hours every week to look prettier, but there are a few essentials that can keep your guy looking his best in a snap.
The Sephora FACE Deep-Down Cleanser - Combination To Oily Skin is one of them. The product won Esquire magazine’s “Grooming Award” in October 2007. This new product from Sephora will purify and cleanse your man’s face because it is effective at removing dead skin while soothing the skin. Your man will be sporting a newly imperfection-free complexion in no time thanks to small exfoliating microbeads. The sebum-regulating action of zinc (which is part of the formula) will leave his skin looking less shiny.

*** Beauty Match in London (UK)***
You’ll find loads of skincare lines for men in London at Harrods, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Boots Pharmacy (link back to post #2).

Whether you are shopping for yourself or if you are a gal shopping for her guy, while in London, WholeMan is surely an address not to be missed.
If London is not part of your travel plans for a while, you can still order products via the WholeMan Web site.
U.K. skincare line for men
*** Beauty Match in London (U.K.)***
When it comes to skincare for men, European men are surely not hesitating one bit in getting on the same page as their female counterparts.
That said, pretty much every other cosmetic line in London is made in France! The French have dominated the skincare industry for centuries and now the new trend of men skincare is continued proof of how sophisticated this industry is.
This minor detail has done nothing to deter Britain’s Refinery skincare line.

Men are also getting injectable collagen
Injectable collagen is also quite popular for those looking to add a fuller, more sensuous look to their lips and many Canadians are getting some pretty favourable results from these types of fillers. While the “Angelina Jolie pout” is one of the most requested shapes among women looking for fuller lips, many men who had very fine lips are using injectable collagen to even out their features.
Active men need to protect their skin
Canada has one of the most phenomenal natural sceneries in the world. The land is plentiful and the vegetation is lush and green. No wonder our men love outdoors sports. Hitting the Canadian outback to practice golf, tennis, skiing, hiking, camping, fishing or running is an excellent way to age well. That said, outdoors sports combined with unprotected facial skin might be detrimental. Active men are far more susceptible to premature aging than their inactive counterparts because they spend so much time outdoors.
There is no need for our men to change their healthy habits. They simply might want to include a few key products to their daily skin care.
Moisturizer and SFP protection might not decrease existing fine lines and wrinkles, but the duo will help prevent more premature damage. By combining an anti-aging night treatment or regular visits at the cosmetic dermatologist, active Canadian men can keep on practicing their favourite sports while keeping their skin protected and in great condition.
