There are some things that inspire me to look out for my skin, and take care of it, and trying to invest more time, on it. We all know that college can be very overburdening, or even if you’re working, sometimes you just don’t have the spirit or the time to just go and take some time in the bathroom, going through all those steps. So, to help you with that, I’ll try to inspire you, and suggest some tips on how to make you look good for the holiday season. Every man wants to look good in the pictures… 

So when I think of skin care I immediately think of that glowing skin… yes, we men should have a glowing skin, meaning that, if you have dry skin, oily or combination, you should balance it so we all can meet in between, with a healthy look.

A guy who I think appears always with healthy skin, especially on “Nurse Jackie”, is Peter Facinelli. He must keep his skin very moisturized, and take care of it, because of the demanding roll he has on the vampire movies, Twilight, that I believe, may require him to keep his complexion spotless and even looking, even without all the make-up to turn them pale white.

.

So Trying to achieve that goal, and the look, of other celebrities that always sport perfect skin, I’ll go by steps, to create a solid skin care routine. I may also say that I’ll aproach combination, and oily skin types, that are the major concern of skin, in men. So the major topics for perfect glowing skin are:

• Cleanse
• Exfoliation
• Tonic
• Moisturize
• Protect
• Intensive at home treatments
• Life style

The combination of all these topics, will lead you easily to perfect healthy skin. For the beginner trying to find basic information, at first it may sound complicated, but once you turn it into a personal routine, and personalize your own skin care habits, It will be much easier.

In the next few days I'll discuss the topics one by one, so, keep visiting

Schwarzkopf Gliss Asia Straight Serum

Well, being always in search for something that may tame frizzy hair, without making it look oily or stiff, awhile ago, I found this product, that is not new in the market, I'm sure some of you have tried it already. Being Schwarzkopf a professional brand, with a big reputation among professional hairdressers, I thought I would take it to consideration, so I bought it and tried it.

I did used serums already, claiming that they worked on frizzy hair and split ends (which I don’t have, my hair is too short to get split), and I t was a cheap one, and by the end of the day, my hair would collect grease around the full coat of silicone that the serum left on my hair, so I didn't really loved it. Only when, after washing my hair every single day, it felt a little dry, I would put some of it, but only a little amount, very very little.

After this experience I was expecting this new serum to do the same. And I was wrong! This serum has a runny texture, with a bit of a berry smell, which is not very manly, but it fades right away (which can be a down side), and after applying it to towel dried hair, and then blowdry it, will leave your hair feeling very smooth, and natural looking.

This serum hasn’t really made the frizz walk away totally, but it certainly made the hair much easier to manage. Definitely a staple!

Dove Visible Effects body lotion

Well, over with the summer, and beginning with the winter, it's still important to keep your skin moisturized. Now that the moist level in the air is lower, the dry and cold wind on your skin, can be quite drying and damaging, therefore the importance of hydrating your skin, even though it's covered by the winter layers of clothes. This moisturizer, I've bought, a few moths ago, will help you do that.

The Dove Visible Effects body lotion, it's a moisturizer that claims to help moisturize the deep layers of your skin, where the beauty of skin begins. It has a multi-layer complex, that at first analysis, can be perceived as a heavy moisturizer on your skin, that will leave you with a greasy feeling, but it's quite the opposite. The texture of this lotion is a bit thick, but it's well absorbed into skin, and fast, leaving you with a soft feel , and with what it seems to be a barrier, maybe caused by the dimethicone. The smell is the part I don't really appreciate, because at first it smells good, like every dove lotion use to, by after a few applications it starts to be a bit overpowering, because I prefer a more fresh scent. But overall the lotion it's quite good, specially when you need that little boost of moisture.
