Grooming For Guys In Five Steps

Sport's scores get a man's attention, not his facial skin. But men can have dry or oily skin, get blackheads and in-grown hairs, and have red, irritated spots from shaving. Men also can get wrinkles. What men don't want is a complex regimen or a cabinet full of chemicals. But the bottom line is: if a man wants to look good he has got to deal with his skin.

BodyTools has made it simple for today's male to have healthy looking skin by creating a naturally based product line that is carefully formulated to work with minimal effort and maximum effect. To compliment the skin care line, BodyTools have designed an easy-to-follow daily skin care routine that focuses on these five steps: cleanse, shave, moisturize, repair and protect.

5 Steps To A Great-Looking Face:

Step One: Cleanse your face twice a day with moisturizing face and body wash.

Washing your skin removes pollution and debris, as well as dead skin cells. Washing also removes the dirt that can lead to clogged pores and infection. Keeping your face clean is also essential if you want to avoid blackheads, spots and an oily shine.

Step Two: Get the perfect shave with BodyTools shave cream with aloe and tea tree oil.

There is no substitute for warm water and a good blade. Warm water or steam softens the bristles of a man's beard and opens up the pores on the skin .With a blunt blade you will end up with redness and blotches on your face and neck.

Use the proper shave preparation and apply it correctly. Only use products that will keep the skin moist and soft while promoting moisture retention and a thin layer of your shave preparation is all you need. Use the proper shaving method.

Shave in the direction of the hair growth over your face only once and rinse the blade often.

Step Three: Moisturize your skin twice a day with BodyTools spf 15 oil free fragrance free face guard moisturizer with anti-oxidant powerblend.

A moisturizer is essential to keep skin supple and smooth. Moisturizers can't make wrinkles disappear but they can, temporarily make wrinkles less noticeable and stop your skin from flaking and feeling tight and uncomfortable. Moisturizers work best when used just after you shower or bathe so you can trap in the water that has just been absorbed. So after showering in the morning and in the evening after cleansing, use a moisturizer over your entire face and body.

Step Four: Repair yourself with BodyTools spf 15 after shave repair and protect with 3.0% tea tree oil and acetylsalicylic acid.

Completing your shave routine with a moisturizer that contains potent anti-inflammatory ingredients such as acetylsalicylic acid (stabilized aspirin) will help to alleviate the redness and razor bumps/burn that accompanies shaving. If you are concerned about preventing or managing acne use an aftershave product that has antiseptic ingredients such as tea tree oil at a minimum 3.0% concentration.

Step Five: Protection from the elements with BodyTools spf 15 after shave repair and protect, BodyTools spf 15 face guard, BodyTools spf 15 citrus body armor.

A man's face gets constant exposure to UV radiation from the sun. The single most important cause of premature skin ageing, wrinkles and skin cancers is sun exposure. Every 60 minutes one person dies of melanoma in the United States. And bad news for men: Older Caucasian males have the highest mortality rates from melanoma. For complete UVA/UVB protection use a sunscreen product formulated at least at the SPF 15 protection level and also containing one of the following ingredients:(Parsol 1789, Titanium Dioxide, or Zinc Oxide.)

A man's face is what people see first. If a man wants a simple skin care routine that is high on results and low on maintenance-then clear, healthy-looking skin is just a few simple steps away.
