Men's Skin Care: Stop Shaving Irritation and Breakouts

If you are using a double-edged razor, stop. Double edged blades cut the hair beneath the surface of the skin and cause trauma, irritation, and subsequent breakouts. Try using a single edged razor and shave in the direction of the hair growth. Also, your shaving cream may be irritating your skin; try shaving with a long lasting Gentle Cleansing Bar (if you prefer a shaving CREAM) or Cleansing Gel (if you prefer a shaving GEL). Finally, never put cologne or aftershave on areas where you frequently break out; these products often contain oils which can aggravate acne. Use a Skin Calming Lotion to sooth you skin after shaving.

Men's rugged outdoor activities — both work and play! — demand high-performance cleansing, protection against the sun and environmental pollutants, and special care after sports activities or sun exposure. 

The sun causes skin damage. Regular use of sunscreens over the years may reduce the chance of skin damage, some types of skin cancer, and other harmful effects due to the sun.

Golfers should watch out for overcast skies - the burning rays still get through clouds. Wear a hat.

Skiers and climbers beware: high altitudes mean less atmospheric protection, more UV exposure (sun also reflects off snow). For serious sun care,
choose SPF 30 Sunblock to help avoid sunburn and sun damage. Many people with sensitive skin find that our sunblock does not cause skin irritation.

Watersports demand waterproof sun protection - both of our sun care products fill the bill. Be sure to reapply regularly to maximize protection.

Always apply at least SPF 15 when heading outdoors. Be extra careful of your left arm and the left side of your face if you drive a lot - the glass of your windows won't shield you from the sun.

Give your skin a long drink after exercise. Our moisturizer provides long-lasting moisture with absolutely no stickiness.
