I spent some time with a bunch of married friends recently and I was very interested in what I learned about the husbands. All of them use a bar soap on their face and do nothing else for their skin. The wives complained about how their husbands' skin looked dry and irritated. Many guys don't necessarily take time to notice or deal with their skin. Using a proper face cleanser, not the bar soap in your shower which strips your skin, and a good moisturizer is easy and simple. These two simple additions to your morning regime (if you are a guy who doesn't already do this) will make a huge difference in your appearance, especially over time.

Hello,
I, like many guy are getting used to use moisturize, cleaners, exfoliants, eye creams among hundreds of products for the skin, hair, and all. But there are a lot of brands in the market and it is almost impossible to know which of them is the best. I have tried Clarins, Clinic, Biotherm, and brands that I do not remember, many of which are expensive.
But until now I do not know which is the best I the kind of guy how do not want to buy a separate brand of moisturize in one store and a cleaner i another one.
In your opinion, which of all brand is the best for a guy. I think the price is not essential for is an investment that all we should do, don’t we?
Thank you
Hi Enrique. I tried a few brands brands and came to the conclusion that that Clarins Men, Anthony and Nickel are the best. I chose Clarins Men due to the fact that all their products are completely natural using ingredients of nature to provide the same effect that other companies are achieving with chemicals. The face wash and anti-prespirant of Clarins Men also just smell amazing using scents of orange peal and grapefruit. At the moment I am stocking up Clarins Men products since I dont like mixing brands because its nice when the products harmonize with the same ingredients (Also just looks better in the cabinet if your like me and like things organized
)
This is really a nice article, with lots of useful information!
Personally, I’ve never used a moisturizer in my life, and I didn’t even know why it’s necessary.
Now that I have read this article, I am much more intrigued by moisturizers.
I’ll hit the drugstore in the next few days and check out what items are available, here in Singapore.
Many thanks for your excellent grooming tips!
