Out With The Old And In With The New!
July 7, 2008 by tsims
You pride yourself on taking good care of your skin. You’ve found just the right cleanser, toner and moisturizer and you’re faithful to your skin care regimen. So why, suddenly, does your skin feel like sandpaper, look dehydrated and dry, and blackheads are more visible? Most likely you’re in need of a good exfoliation treatment.
What is it and why do you need it?
Basically, exfoliation is a technique for removing dead skin cells from your face and body. Scrubs containing granules (we like Jack Black’s Face Buff for the face and Anthony Logistics Sea Salt Body Scrub for the body) gently buff away the daily grime while getting the blood flowing. Removing the old dead cells kick starts the cell renewal process and revitalizes the complexion, leaving a smoother canvas.
A skin mask can quickly salvage winter-weary or over sunned skin, softening, brightening and smoothing it in one easy step. Men’s oily skin responds best to a mask that’s fortified with natural clay, which tightens, tones and clarifies as it dissolves dead cells and removes pore-clogging debris on the skin’s surface.
Exfoliation may sound a little less than “manly”, but it will keep your face cleaner, minimize ingrown hairs (ouch), and keep your skin looking fresh as it can be. So call it whatever you need to, if you want to manify it… face blasting, flake attack, oil obliteration, etc… just do it a couple times a week and you’ll look good as new.
Finish up with a moisturizer containing SPF protection because you don’t want that smooth, sensitive new layer of skin going out there with nothing on it!
Men! listen up. I want to tell you how this website and the products recommended by this site has improve my face dramatically. Where to begin? ah yes the dreaded before. Before my face was a breathing grounds for acne, the scars from the acne, razor bumps, the scars from those bumps, those pesky ingrown hairs and yes the subsequent scars that derived from that. so needless to say my face was a battlefield, the endless fight of squeezing, picking, plucking left me exhausted and yes depressed. The embarrassment I felt controlled my life. Social events? what social life, I was seriously afraid of going outside, my work suffered, my life was suffering. The days I thought I was having a good face day, was probably the worse face day for those with good complexion. The products I tried to combat this problems, oh my the list is endless, prescriptions, over the counters, home remedies, yes I have tried them all.
Then one day, by accident, I stumbled across Foreman website, not sure what I was doing, but pretty sure I was googling for yet another face product. First I read the grooming tips, the do’s and don’ts, and for an educated person I was doing most of the don’ts, using products I should not be using. I browsed the website and started to target products for my skin. Zealously I placed a mass order, the quickest delivery they had, my products arrived and I begun what I call “My Genesis Regimen” I have not looked back or have had one regret. My face is saved, my life is saved, and I am happy to say this past New years eve in attended my first social event in a long long time. So to those looking for help with there face here is “My Genesis Regimen”
upon waking I wash my face with Anthony Logistic Facial cleanser (totally help repaired my scars and smooth my face out). I follow with Anthony Logistic Astringent (the green stuff, makes your face feel so fresh). Finally I moisturize with Jack Black line smoother Face Moisturizer (also help faded my scars). Throughout the day I will use Anthony Logistic oil free facial lotion with SPF-15 for sun protection.
At night- I use Anthony Logistic Acne Cleanser (can you say good bye acne). I follow with a different toner which is Anthony Logistic alcohol free toner) then moisturize with Jack Black line smoother Face Moisturizer. I also use the anti aging eye cream by Anthony Logistic.
Two nights a week I will replace the Acne Cleanser with Menscience Microfine face scrub (love this product, I’m exfoliating now, its great)
Once a week usually on the weekend I will treat myself to a deep pore cleansing with Anthony Logistic deep pore cleansing clay
Shaving- Now I do not shave everyday, usually three times a calendar week in the morning. I will take a hot steaming shower, after soak a clean wash cloth in warm water and hold it firmly to my face, I do this this 3 to 4 times. I pat dry and apply the art of shaving pre-shave oil, followed by the art of shaving shaving cream, I always use a new razor and shave with the grain. I rinse with cold water, and if soak my face in bowl of Ice water, pat dry and apply Anthony logistic astringent ( the green stuff) once the astringent is soaked into my skin I spray my face with the art of shaving, rose water (store in fridge) . I finish with the art of shaving after shave balm.
And that is how I renewed my face. Breakouts, razor bumps and ingrown hair and a thing of the past. Some may say that this is a very pricey regimen, but I can not put a price on my confidence, and my mental well being. I am thankful, I am grateful, I am loving the skin I’m in.
Thank You
