Are there still hope for Men & Skincare???? ....YESSS

A Thing of beauty is a joy forever

by John Keats

Why is it bila kita start buka mulut about lelaki and the skincare, honestly I often rasa macam men overall most of them, that is; selalu take it too easy when it comes to skin care, it can honestly seem like these two planets were from a completely different orbit altogether and had nothing to do with the other! Lelaki dengan sifat machonya selalu menyangkal the idea of good basic skincare regimes is important together with its product dan rasa if we take them to the skincare counters - it means just a complete waste of time. As for my husband-I think it is just lately (less than 1 year ago) that he started to complain about it especially when the fine lines and wrinkles start appearing round the eye on his face!

Antiaging skin care treatment is something that most men will agree, is both beneficial and necessary. Skin care for wrinkles has been researched and developed for thousands of years because people-both men and women-have tried to fight the inevitable signs of aging. So, while men may not seek out skin care advice with the frequency that women do-they still are trying to prevent those wrinkles for the same reasons that women are!

Kebanyakan lelaki tend to age a little lambat that us women because they do not experience the hormonal shifts and alterations that accompany menopause. It is common for women to need dry skin care products years before men due to this traumatic period. However, if a man is a heavy drinker or has a lot of bad habits, they may very well need the antiaging skin care products before the women!

Listed below are some of the tabiat yang tidak sihat, boleh mempercepatkan wrinkles and fine lines before their time are:

• Drinking too much alcohol
• Drinking too much coffee or any other caffeinated beverage
• Using dietary supplements made from stimulants
• Excessive use of laxatives and other temporary constipation remedies made from stimulants
• Berenang dalam jangkawaktu yang panjang di dalam chlorinated water for tanpa menggunakan the right pelembap and treatment afterwards
• Too much exposure to the sun especially goes to the Golfers out there! The ultraviolet radiation from the sun penetrates into the skin and damages the collagen and elastin fibers that support skin. When the damage becomes too extensive and the body cannot repair it quick enough, the fibers and collagen will collapse causing the skin above to skin below the surrounding surface and form a wrinkle or fine line Toxins. Toxins cause the body to oxidize oxygen and free radicals are produced as a result. Free radicals damage cells throughout the body and will cause serious medical problems down the road and even increase the signs of aging! Many simple skin care products made to prevent wrinkles are actually making the problem worse because they are made with synthesized or chemical ingredients that the body considers to be toxic!

Any skin care and mens hygiene products used to protect you from the signs of aging should be made from all natural skin care ingredients. There is still hope for skin care and men so long as they remember to avoid behaviors that increase the signs of aging and seek out and USE antiaging remedies before it is too late!

During my fathers' era I noticed that he was never much into good skin care, especially not as much as my late mum. As a quantity surveyor, he was often out from office but he was happy to wash his face with bar soap, shave, slap on an aftershave, and maybe (i think, about setahun sekali ada...la) throw on some lotion. And sepanjang I membesar, itulah bau yang I recalled of my father. Clean, soapy smelling old fella getting ready to go to the mosque!

But times are changing. Now, men are starting to learn the importance of good skincare. They are starting to realize that treating their skin right will keep them looking their best longer. Like my husband, he too spent quite long in the toilet (ie. checking his skin texture, trimming his nose hair, quick zapped on da zit etc.) Our skin must be cleaned regularly in order to maintain a good complexion. Do you know that unclean skin favors the production of pathogenic organisms? Im sure, you are asking apa ke bende patho... whatever. Yes, kulit muka yang kotor menggalakkan pertumbuhan organisma luaran....it happens.

Unfortunately as we grown old, our skin ages and cause it to becomes thinner and prone to external damage.If you want to live longer, you should start young and do something about it now. Living with skin cancer are not the best ways of living your life to the fullest as it will disrupts your lives. Nowadays, many skin care product have facial moisturizers with sun protection.

Why Using a Toner as Part of Your Skin Care Regime is Important

As women are experiencing ever increasing demands on their time, many have opted out of using a toner in their skin care regime and only use cleansing and moisturising as the key steps to keeping their skin looking healthy, vibrant and young.

This is however a big mistake, as toning is a very important part of a daily skin care regime. Toning follows the cleansing routine and actually serves some important functions. Toning closes the pores of the skin. Once cleansing of the skin has been completed, the pores tend to be open and therefore slightly enlarged. As a result, moisture can leave the skin, which in return dehydrates the skin. This is not a desired effect on the contrary loss of moisture from the skin is highly undesirable.

Closing of the pores has another benefit. It stops dust and other air born particles from settling in the pores and potentially causing problems. In addition, good quality, natural toners are anti-septic and provides moisture and nutrients to the skin, preparing the skin for the third step in a skin care regime - Moisturising.

Cleansing & mask are also essential for men as well as women. This is because skin is skin. Both men and women need to have their skin cleansed and hydrated. Let me tell you why.A deep cleansing mask, if properly designed, will remove toxins and revitalize your face and neck. Of course, the average products on the market contain more toxins than they will remove. They dry to a hard crust that is difficult to remove which causes redness and inflammation. A good mask does none of those things. After 30 minutes, you simply rinse it off. There is no scrubbing required. The best companies include ingredients that are known to reduce inflammation and redness, since men’s faces are prone to both. If you want the best results, you’ll alternate the deep cleansing mask, with a deep hydrating mask, using each twice a month.

Me and my hubby shares Olynn Tensor Mask.

Known as the white clay most often called the purest of clays-a form of mud transformed as mask to remove dead cells, unclog pores and absorb excess oil.

A Thought to ponder : Memang senang utk kita berbicara tentang keburukan sesuatu produk bila ianya tak mendatangkan hasil yang diingini. But have we ever asked ourselves, samada did we use the product as per the instruction. From the past experience that I have encountered throughout making sales, what I noticed most is that customers selalunya jarang mengikut cara yang betul bila menggunakan sesuatu produk.

One thing for sure, I often reminded all of you to read the instruction pamphlet that I have enclosed together with the product. It is important to understand - -If the instruction suruh kita guna hanya 1-2 drops on the facial cotton, then do follow it by using just 1-2 drops sahaja. BUT NOOOO, because we want fast result (betul ke tidak...), we became ignorant about it! Kita terus je splashed sampai basah on the facial cotton & terus applied it to our face. And this also happened vice versa. Pasal nak jimat the produk - supaya tak cepat habis - kita pun guna terlalu sedikit to get the result.

Dont jump the gun too fast, analyze & THINK ABOUT IT -
