Well there is this new product ive been hearing about its micro derm abrasion but for home use. I think Susan Lucci has some info-mercials about it but there is also a drugstore copy of it by neutrogena I think. Ive been thinking about getting it.

enterthemadness, the best way to slow down the aging process is to take vitamins and use sunblock daily. You should go to a clinque counter and ask them what products they have for men. I got my ex some really nice shaving cream (he has really sensitive skin) from Clinique and now he wont shave with anything else.

Other than that wrinkles on men is sexy

The best micro-dermabrasion home-kit I've found is the L'Oreal's. The post-dermabrasion moisturizer is the best.

Anyone have a good product for volumizing fine hair?
Mouse drys out my hair too much

I heard apple juice on your roots can be effective.

Have you tried the Dove 'Weightless Moisture" products. I find their quite effective.

 

[Sensi]

I have used Dove Facial Cloths but i haven't tried anything else .I too have long fine hair; so I think I will try that Daisy.. Thank you

God all these chicks talking about the human condiments they prefer is turning me on.

Lip balm wise I don't think you can get any better than the pocket size Vasaline, which is great for removing mascara. For exfoliating I use African Shea Butter from Avon and they have a fantastic body lotion but I stick to Palmer's Coccoa Butter, keeps the skin soft. For my locks I go between Sunsilk and Avon's Curly & Chic.

Ah sweet, thanks Daisey

I havent tried anything dove except for, like Sensi, the dove facial cloths.
Ill have to try that. Ive always wondered how their hair products are.

I LOVE Palmers Cocoa Butter! Not only is it an awesome moisturizer but it makes my skin smell like chocolate
My girlfriend said her doc suggested it to her when she was pregnant to keep stretch marks at bay and I have been using it ever since I smelled her Ill have to try the african shea butter from avon. I dont use vaseline for eye makeup removal becuse it makes my mascara run the next day But I do put it on my eyes after using vit e.

Mascarra. I just read that mascara should be disposed of after a couple of months after opening; it can grow bacteria. My wife had never heard that. So if you've got an old one, chuck it. The good news is, the same beauty expert said there is no reason to purchase an expensive mascara, they are all basically the same (as opposed to lipstick, she said, which can vary widely in quality).

Isn't lip stick made from Fish oil or something?

 

[Childlike Wild]

I use Aveeno moisturizing body wash, but I'm looking to switch next time I have to buy more because I found out they're not cruelty-free.

I use Urban Decay cosmetics mostly. Lube in a Tube lip gloss and their various eyeshadows/whatever else. I like their stuff and they're nice to animals.

...And for hair, I switch around, but I like Bed Head and Alterna moisturizing shampoos and conditioners. And curl defining/straightening lotions.

Random Tip: Moisturizing lip balm (I use medicated Blistex) EVERY night for nice, soft, pretty lips.

Which is why I love this new lash perfection by max factor. Its not the mascara thats claiming to be different its the brush thats totally different.

 

[heypapajinx]

Silk Therapy for the hair, i just wish it wasn't so dang expensive.
Burts Bees chap stick.
the only mascara i use is Lash Stylist by Maybelline because it has the little comb, not the brush, so your eye lashes don't clump together.
and i use those gel eye slicks from whoever will make em in the funkiest colors.
oh, and AridXX for the underpits and Cetaphil for the lotion.
that stuff will make ANY skin feel like fresh churned butter baby!!!

I interested in what products I can use when I get older, to make my face look young. Besides Botox and plastic surgery. I do know that drinking grape juice makes your neck look younger.

Avoid Botox. From all reports it's a "constant" requirement (the injections last a few weeks/months and then you need to get re-injected). Drink lots of liquids, but don't drink lots of alcohol. Liquids help "hydrate" your skin and that helps prevent wrinkles. Avoid sun and wind exposure. Both dry out your skin and create wrinkles.

To add to this, I'd recommend using a moisturizer with an spf. There are many anti-wrinkle creams as well.

I use eye creams it is cool.

I love cetaphil products. :heart:
I actually use the cetaphil bar for my sensitive parts and shaving my underarms. Its a great body wash, as is face wash, but I am addicted to Clinique

There are also a number of products used for animals that are great like Bag balm for cuts, scrapes and rough heels. Also Udderly Smooth for a really fast absorbing moiusturizer. I use Udderly after I wash my hands.

Ive also found that tee tree oil is a great natural remedy for acne. If im going out the next day I always put Tee Tree Oil all over my face before I sleep because it really evens out redness. Its smelly, yes, but once you get used to it its not so bad. It also helps when Im really tired as it gives me a very deep nights sleep.
And is a natural antiseptic for abrasions and cuts.

 

[AndThePickles]

I can't stand Clinique products.....I felt like the makeup was cakey and the facewash didn't get my face clean.

 

[7Hells]

Ive never tried their make-up just the three step face system.
Did you use the bar soap from clinique? That stuff gets your skin squeeky clean, literally.

 

[AndThePickles]

I'm not big on bar soap, it tends to dry my skin out.....I tried their foaming face wash and didn't like it at all.

I'm using Biore Icewash right now and I love it!

I was wondering if any of your girls can help me out here... bear in mind that I'm a guy... I have dark circles under my eyes due to lack of sleep and was wondering if there's anything that can help with that

 

[7Hells]

dark circles are the bane of all women (that have them)!
I really dont know how to deal with them. I suppose any kind of lotion that adds plump to the skin. Ive heard hemoroid cream works for that, seriously.

Some people swear by skin lighteners, they lighten the skin in certain areas but I cant see how that would work as its not the skin thats dark its the skin being too translucent.

Also a lot of times dark circles are caused by poor diet. Sometimes a mild allergy that you arent aware of. I know I get asked if ive been punched a day after eating strawberries.

If no one has an answer here Id suggest going to a beauty store that has all the expensive stuff like Clinique and ask about their solutions. You dont have to buy them, get a sample, figure out whats in it that helps and then you can find a cheaper drugstore solution.

 

[JokerNick]

Best lotion for men is "lab series" by aramis..... little expensice, 55 for 3 oz of facial lotion, but it is superior

m lotion by clinque is good too...

as far as shampoo and conditioner, I perfer "tea tree" by john paul mitchel.... it tingles too

as far as hair products, redken, or tea tree pomades......

You could try putting tea bags on your eyes....there are also plenty of eye creams available. Vitamin E oil helps as well. If you don't mind, you could always put a little concealer under there! Seriously though, the best cure really is to get more sleep.

 

[7Hells]

I agree, as long as you get a good color match, a little concealer under the eyes is no big deal.
People wont be able to tell.
