Face Time

Wrinkles aren’t stylish or classy. Yes, some say that men get better looking as they get older, but no-one likes someone with skin as wrinkled as a shar-pei. Sun damage is a real issue, so the best way to stop the burn and fight those facial lines is to give your face moisture and sun protection at the same time.

One of the best choices is Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Sun-Damage. It comes in a convenient pump-action bottle, it’s non-oily and offers SPF 28 protection. It is absorbed quickly and the sun protection works well. One downside – the bottle is bright green, so not particularly manly. We like this product so much we give it our Recommended Seal of Approval.

As far as products specifically for men are concerned, we recommend two:

1) Body Shop has the For Men Face Protector – which is pretty good, albeit a little thick. It gives your face a sheen and seems to tighten it up. The downside – no sun protection

2) Jack Black’s Double Duty Face Moisturizer SPF 20 with Blue Algae Extract and Sea Parsley – this is a really great product – smells fantastic and is quickly absorbed. The only comment is that it doesn’t give quite the same sheen to the skin as the Body Shop product does.
