For a shaving man skin care products should address the issues of redness and inflammation. They should contain ingredients that have natural antiseptic activity to reduce the risk of infection in shaving nicks and cuts. Infections can lead to scarring, but if inflammation is not kept under control, it can lead to a prematurely aged appearance. Chronic inflammation damages and degrades collagen fibers, throughout the body. The elastic fibers are what allows your skin to “snap back”, when it is pulled or pinched. They are responsible for the skin’s firmness, as well. When they start to degrade, the skin starts to sag and wrinkles become apparent. The production of collagen and the elastic fibers decreases with age. So, you can ill afford to allow the degradation of the few remaining fibers. Male skin care products should also address the issue of free radical damage. Guys that spend a lot of time outdoors are particularly vulnerable to free radical damage. Many of us love the sun. You might, too. But, if you are smart, you will use protection. A cap, protective clothing and a good sun-block on exposed areas provide the protection that you need. But, despite your best efforts, the sun’s UV rays will stimulate the activity and production of free radicals. As we get older, there are even more free radicals present in the skin’s layers, while the level of naturally occurring antioxidants becomes lower and lower. In a young healthy person, antioxidants neutralize free radical molecules, before they can do any damage. Due to overexposure to the sun or aging, free radicals are eventually able to do their damage. The better man skin care creams on the market, today, contain antioxidants, because it is possible to increase the skin’s antioxidant-content by applying them directly. Some creams have anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antioxidant activity. They can be used after shaving, instead of an alcohol-based aftershave. Not only will they improve the skin’s appearance initially, they will help to keep it young looking as times goes by. You’ll need to remember to read the label of ingredients, carefully, before you buy a product. The advertising claims are sometimes overstated. The ingredients to look for include witch hazel, coenzyme Q10, natural vitamin E, wakame kelp extracts and bioactive keratin. It might take a little time to find a male skin care cream containing all of those ingredients, but it is well worth the effort and time spent. Clinical trials have shown that those ingredients reduce redness and underlying inflammation. They improve the skin’s strength and firmness, prevent and repair free radical damage. They also stimulate the production of elastic fibers and the amount of collagen within the skin’s cells. In other words, they address all of the primary causes of an aged appearance. They protect and improve the skin’s health. Plus, they feel great, too. If you’re a man skin care might seem like an afterthought, until you start to see problems. Don’t wait that long.
