Guys - Do you use moisturizer?
 

Do you?

Cheers,
Matt

Try astroglide, works much better.

On my face after a shower, shave, or just if my face is dry.


I'd rather have nice skin, than be called a pussy for doing it, big fucking deal, for those that have a problem with it, enjoy sititng in the corner at bars you ugly fucks, haha...Sorry, rambled...

Why do you type

Cheers,
Matt

after every post

ps. I don't use moisturizer

Rep - Astroglide? Is it a moisturizer with a fancy name specifically targetting men and charging a fancy price too?

InsaneMidget - I agree with ya. I've never really had problems with dry skin though summer months and being out a lot with my dog has made me think about it more. Stuff I have has some sunscreen in it as well.

Also, have you found that it stops (sharp) freshly cut face hairs from causing pimples.. or razor burn as some seem to call it?

It's more personal.

Nivea/Body shop makes the best products for men..


BG

Yeah
Biotherm, Mac and ZIRH for me :)

Truthfully or brainwashed? What in particular? I've never really gone to the Body Shop... though I love their pear scented soaps. :)

Cheers,
Matt

Yeah, I use Nivea Visage enriched daily moisturising creme on my face.

Never heard of them... maybe they're not in Canada?

Why do you use the different products? I assume they have different affects...

Cheers,
Matt

I bought both for my brothers. Actually they prefer body shop.They have a line only for men which includes moisturizers and shaving creams.


Its okay to be a little girly.


BG

I use Glysomed.

Improved my skin dramatically over a period of maybe 4 months or so.

ldinternet - Have you compared Nivea Visage to cheaper brands? Do they compare?

bad_girl - Very true, pampering oneself is good occaisonally, or all the time. :)

Cheers,
Matt

Don't you feel its greasy?



I suggest using something like cocoa butter cream - prevents stretch marks and smells so yummy.


BG

I posted this once in a thread about facial scrub/exfoliants.

I don't use a mosturizer other than the mosturizing face wash shown in the image. I'd agree with the earlier poster (bad_girl) about Nivea making the best products for men.

Cocoa butter cream.. Mmmm.. is it edible? Heh..

Pun - What's that 'gel' in the tall can? For your hair ?.. though it does say 'sensitive' on it.. heh.

Cheers,
Matt

Facial scrubs yes on occassion. Moisturizers umm no.

Not at all if you don't use too much at a time.

Are you young and hot? I'm moving to the TO area, need a good little bad girl up that way.

Try Nivea for Men moisturizer.
Its good.

Midgets scare me.

BG

me too actually.

MAC Cosmetics is a great line for guys too!!

I have sold it for years, Usually found in upscale stores in the Mall's!

Or: www.maccosmetics.com

Another awesome line or men and women is Origins, also found in upscale malls or online, Infact they also carry a baby line!!!!!

:thumbsup

you're getting a little too excited over creams, relax...

As long as a guy doesnt have more "product" than me, or spends more time prepping than me, I am alright with him being a lil' prettier.

BG

kiss me

Heh. Be nice. :)

Thanks Lexi for the info. :)

Cheers,
Matt

Sounds like a good measurement to follow. :)

Cheers,
Matt

lol

Healing garden lavender and euciliptus , Made for chicks but smells wonderful!:thumbsup

I'm a make-up artist, it's my life!!

:zzwhip

I feel something brewing here...

I was just picking anyway ;)

Can I ask you what you would suggest for daily skin care? Face mainly... exfoliate before bed, then moisturize, when you wake up, use just a cleaner, and then moisturize after? Is that good? Too much? ... if you don't mind answering. Thank you in advance if you do. :)

Cheers,
Matt

I'm just using different brands to see what's working best for me...
I'm sure Biotherm, Zirh and Mac are available in Canada too..
You could also check for Lab Series and Clarins, they've got good stuff too :)

You should ask Grogan... the man's got one hell of a sheen on his face.

LOL welcome to the 2000's. You are not a pussy for taking care of yourself.

I use Nivea Q10 and After Shave Cream :thumbsup

Nivea makes the best men's line!

LOL that's girlie stuff.

It's for shaving.... Shaving gel, haven't you heard of it??

Ummm Mac Cosmetics actually COMES from Canada, it's a Canadian company.
Sorry to bump this thread but I was bored and searching for "mac cosmetics" and found this thread. Yea, anyways, um Mac is FROM Canada, its a Canadian company, and Biotherm is sold everywhere in all department stores.

Dont know wtf Zirh is.

I use Mac moisturefeed sometimes, and I use it on my bf as well. I like to exfoliate his face and put different creams on it. He won't let me put a mask on him though :(

no, im not a twink ;)

I recommend Clinique Repairwear Day SPF 15, I did a lot of research and I read hundreds of face lotion reviews and this one is decent, it has a lot of anti-oxidants as well which is good for your skin, but the most important factor is spf 15.

I believe that everyone, man or woman should use lotion, especially one with spf 15 to avoid sun damage/wrinkles and skin cancer.

It also comes in a punp so its more hygenic. Also exfoliate your skin before you apply lotion so its not all flaky and shit, anyways I love this fucken lotion, my skin feels great after using it, and its not too greasy, plus it fights aging as well.

:-\

The basic rule of thumb is this. If you're buying it from a supermaket, or chemist, it's not good. No debated even entered into.

Secondly - you've got to use the right combination of products to suit your skin type.
If you've got normal skin [not dry, gets oily from time to time], and use a harsh cleanser / exfoliator [read: nivea etc], it will actually strip ALL oils from your face, resulting in higher sebum (facial oil) production. Result - oilier face then when you began with.

Alternatively, if you use dry skin products on normal skin, they will oversaturate your face, and you'll probably end up with breakouts.

There's also probably not too much point simply moisturising if you don't follow a complete procedure - if you haven't cleansed and exfoliated, you're going to be moisturising dead skin and oil.

A full pattern, which will take 10 mins out of your day
- Cleanse with a non-soap/detergent based cleanser. If it froths, it's bad. Best are milks and creams.
- Exfoliate. If you can see the beads, it's bad.
- Moisturise
- Tone

All of the above should be done with products that match your skin. Want to know how to match the types? Go get a facial, skin analysis is part and parcel of it.

As for brands.. I quite like thalgo. French brand, available through salons only, uses only all natural marine elements, and they make a great men's range, targetted for as little fucking around as possible :D

2c from a quilified makeup artist / beautician.

:1orglaugh Fuck no....

I keep it in my purse :1orglaugh

Thalgo is kinda expensive, not as bad as Creme de La Mer tho, I heard thas what J-lo uses and she uses it all over her body , its $1,200.00 for a bottle :helpme

Sure, but you only have to use it in tiny tiny quantities.

This thread is SOOOO GAY.
