Ten Best Mens Skin Care Must Haves - Top 10 Skincare Gifts for 2011 Reviewed

By


Choosing the Best Mens Skin Care

Men’s skin care was something that was kept quiet a few years back but now is seen as a necessity not just a luxury, Finding ten guys skincare must haves means getting the five stages of male skincare right. First we need to cleanse the skin (wash), then we need to exfoliate (remove dead skin), a moisturizer (a cream or lotion) next follows shaving (razor smooth). Finally guys need to apply a good sunscreen (be safe).

When you think of men’s skin care it is not just about anti aging or anti wrinkle creams it is about daily maintenance and protection. Which dry skin lotion or oily skin treatment? What is best for exfoliating skin or mens moisturizer? Which is the best mens razor, shaving stand or shave set? What shaving gel or mens razors are best for this shaving rash? Do I need a men’s facial or sensitive skin cleanser? What about vitamin e skin or glycolic acid skin? Which is the best mens aftershave for my anti aging products and collagen products?

There are many reasons to have a daily men’s skin care regime. It is not just about ego or being soft it is about self-appreciation, healthy living and longevity. Skin care has become more important in the modern world. It used to be we were born with oily skin or dry skin. Today the indoor and outdoors environment affects men’s skin more than ever. Inside we have air conditioning and stale air, outside we have sun, and pollution and then we have freed radicals from our diets to contend with. Male skin care and mens hair loss management and treatment are two of the most popular men's personal advancements.

up & useful! Hey Billy, much more attention is given to men's body products these days. Thanks for an excellent hub, well written and researched.

Pamela99 20 months ago

Billy, I had no idea there were so many good products for men, and that guy on the surf board has obviously had use of all those products. :}

BobbiRant 20 months ago

These are wonderful ideas for gifts for the men in our lives. I'm always looking for useful items. Great hub. Very useful.

There are really some nice products here for men. It is amazing how many new products there are on the market now for men. They will be spoilt for Christmas gifts this year

billyaustindillon 20 months ago

samsons1 thanks for your feedback - indeed there are so many men's skin care must haves - I dare say a few years back you would be struggling to find 10.

billyaustindillon 20 months ago

Pamela so many mens skin care products now - yes the guy on the surfboard is Kelly Slater - the greatest surfer of all time - eight world titles I think. If he can look after his skin in all that sun we all can I figure.

billyaustindillon 20 months ago

BobbiRant there is the spirit - nice gifts for the men - I am glad you got some ideas from the ten best mens skin care products list.

billyaustindillon 20 months ago

humagaia thanks for the comment on Mens Skin Care must haves - I am glad you enjoyed Kelly Slaters Photo - he is a favorite of the ladies - ask Pamela Anderson.

billyaustindillon 20 months ago

Viking I do look forward to a few of these mens skin care products this Christmas - I will leave this link open when I go to get a cup of coffee for a few hints :)

pcoach 20 months ago

No offfense, sometimes I just don't relate to the whole skincare thing for men! But I am a different kind of man! No offense to those who aren't.

wavegirl22 20 months ago

mens skincare is so important, hubpages is lucky to have you here bringing it to all the men out there with wrinkles that need attention.

LeanMan 20 months ago

Will these products help me with the girls??

rameshbashyam 20 months ago

Wow! I thought skin care was only for girls and young guys. You have shown it in a new perspective and highlighted the importance.

Very good article.

internetnews 17 months ago

Great job. Men should not dismiss our skin care.

billyaustindillon 17 months ago

internetnews you are so right - but unfortunately most men do forget their skincare thinking it isn't 'manly' to look after it.

Docmo 14 months ago

thanks for the listing- some good products here - all this 'I am a mans man so I will not use products ' is sheer shortsightedness as skin needs good care, whatever the gender. Leathery, dry skin is not very healthy.

billyaustindillon 14 months ago

Docmo you are so right don't put your head in the sands - skin cancer and damaged skin are not a good look :)Mens skincare is an important regime for health and longevity.

Wrinkly The Clown 11 months ago

Great article - you have all the skin care must haves for men. Must say I wish I read it years ago before my skin got weathered and worn. Too tough to look after my skin I said. Hoping I can revitalize my skin and at least stop further damage.

billyaustindillon 11 months ago

Wrinkly back in the day many men lived along the adage that it was manly not to protect the skin - the damage was real though and as you acknowledge it is time to try and reverse or at least arrest the damage.

BestMensSkinCare 3 months ago

Great commentary here. Maybe you should try out the TwinLuxe skin care range as I think it is way better in performance than all the men's brands you mentioned above.
