does anyone know what Facial skin care products to get and a simple routine to do with them for a guy who’s prematurely aged ?
something easy accessible, convenient, from a high street shop or pharmacy ?
nothing complicated or entailing buying lots of products.
easy products to get and a simple routine.
i can’t afford cosmetic surgery.
can i reverse the damage thats been done with the right facial skin care products ?
im 31 , but because of life stress i feel ive aged early in my face.
dry, dead looking skin, dark lines under my eyes, skin blemishes , uneven skin tone , open pores on cheek bones near nose , frown lines on forehead . wrinkles on forehead and near eyes.
this is very depressing , what facial products for a male could i buy from the high street that is easy to get hold of ?
face wash, face scrub or moisturizer ? what brand ?
and finally, what order do i use them ?
im in england to so please something i can get relevant to here.

Avon came out with a new anti-aging line with Activinol it’s great. Check out their other anti-aging products too! You can buy directly from AVON or you can locate a rep in the U.K. Just click the link below. The AVON reversalist products are on the first page!
I bought a Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer last year and still have some left. I was just wondering if it is still ok to use – I figured I should check first. I wasn’t sure if the chemicals would mess up my skin, not go on evenly, or whatever. thank you!
No don’t use it you will be un-even and orange-ish trust me just toss it
What are some good products to delay the onset of wrinkles or faint lines, etc?
A gentle cleanser like Cetaphil or Nivea for Men sensitive(drugstores/grocery stores)
A broad-spectrum moisturizing sunscreen will be your best defense in the long run even if you live in less sunny climates. Jack Black makes one called Double Duty moisturizer it’s SPF 20.
An eye cream/gel, like Clinique Daily Eye Hydrator ,would be beneficial as well
Clarins makes a line for men that’s nice but the scent can be irritating & it’s pricier.
Although it’s geared toward women, Avon’s Anew Retroactive + youth extending is a great product for nighttime moisturizing. They also have a day SPF moisturizer that I haven’t tried yet
Exfoliate 1-2x weekly, I usually use a mask that’s plain Quaker oatmeal mixed with a little water & raw honey, I cleanse my skin first & leave it on for about 15minutes then use it as a scrub in the shower, you can pulse the oatmeal in a food processor a few times to make it more grainy.
There’s a website called makeupalley.com that is geared toward women but there are men there as well. The site has real people reviews for hundreds of products, including skincare.
hope this helps!
I work as a manicurist partime and when i service my clients. i used some of the products that i make. I make body glow salt scurbs, using all natural essential oils and i use my own hand whipped shea butter as a moisturizer. When performing my natural nail care services and pedicure, my clients always rave about how good my products feel and ask about them. I have sold them to my clients as well, but i want to know if i should go all out and if this is a lucrative business
i definitley think that natural body care products is a great business idea because people want to know what they’re putting on and into their bodies.
i think it also really depends on where you live. for instance, i know you’d probably find a very favourable market out here in vancouver, bc. those kind of products are huge.
if i were you, i’d start within the confines of your work and your clients. perhaps give them samples that they can give to friends and family to try, and like you said, people are still raving about your product, start staking out beauty product stores and setting up appointments to talk to the owner or manager about selling your products in them. but i definitley think you’re on to something, and the sky is the limit.
here’s a link to the beauty bar

I want to start using natural ,organic, not tested on animals and all that other stuff kind of products. All I can find is Tom’s of Main products, is there anything else? maybe something better?
(Tom’s is fine, I’m just wonder)
Thanks
Do you have a Whole Foods in your area? I get a lot of stuff from there. I like Zia natural skincare stuff.
Another thing I like to do (and this is really above and beyond) is make my own cosmetics. There are lots of websites that will tell you how to make your own mouthwash and stuff with baking soda, witch hazel, peppermint oil, etc.
I have a short haired dog. She is constantly itching and the vet has confirmed that she doesn’t have fleas or mange. I only bathe her when necessary. She is getting the fish oils in her food everyday. Is there anything I can apply directly to her skin?
If she’s itching, she has allergies. How long has this been going on? Have you changed detergents, sheets, or bedding recently? It might be environmental. What food do you feed her? A lot of dogs tend to be allergic to grains and certain proteins like chicken. You can do a food elimination diet or take her to a vet to get an allergy test done. Avoid any food brands that contain corn, corn gluten meal, by-products, food coloring, nasty preservatives, and things you can’t pronounce. The first few ingredients should be meat or meat meal (i.e. chicken, turkey meal, etc). Make sure there aren’t too many grains (i.e. wheat, barley, oats, whatever) in the ingredient list.
Some great foods are:
Canidae
Wellness
Nature’s Variety
Orijen
Solid Gold
Timberwolf Organics
Innova
Innova EVO
California Natural
Taste of the Wild

You’re not limited to just egg whites. Whole eggs are completely fine. I feed my dog 2 raw eggs a week.

I’d avoid cod liver oil. It’s extremely rich in vitamin A and it’s easy to overdose, which can be dangerous. Stick to pure fish oil such as salmon oil.
