I thought you should know some of these interesting facts about your skin. If you stretch out the entire surface of your skin it would measure about twenty two square feet and weigh about fifteen pounds A section of the dermis about the size of a quarter, contains about three feet of blood vessels, twelve feet of nerves, one hundred sweat glands and several million cells. "So what", you say? Well the real Difference about Men's skin is the roughness, clogged pores and blemishes. While it ages better than woman's, you can still be prone to dryness, discomfort and barrier damage due to environmental assaults on your 3,168 square inches of skin, and you will feel the difference.

The body produces most of the skins powerful protectors, but as we age, the skins natural defenses decrease. Everyday elements such as sunlight, wind, cold, indoor heating, airplane travel, pollutants and stress, wreak havoc on skin. These forces contribute to natural moisture loss resulting in severe dryness, redness, itchy and tight skin. This slow and steady loss of skin protection increases the need to explore ways to build environmental resistance.

The simple and efficient way to "prevent and protect" is to use products designed and developed specifically for men and their unique skin needs. Each product should be designed and formulated for a specific purpose ... and tell you in plain English right on the package.

A little maintenance is all it takes to effectively sustain healthy skin, and a daily routine that includes: Cleansing, Shaving, Hydrating, Sun Protection, and Exfoliation (only 2-3 times per week) will keep skin comfortable and in top condition.

Consistent Maintenance is what's required, NOT a lot of time or money!
