Men, you too want to have an enviable complexion just like us gals.  I have some serious skin care advice for you guys out there.

Here are some of my favorite tips just for you:

• The best time to shave your face is right after the shower. Your skin is moist and warm which means the hairs are at their softest  and ready to shave.

• The best thing to do after you shave is to apply a soothing face  lotion with SPF protection in it, such as CeraVe AM Moisturizer or Cetaphil Lotion for acne prone skin (in a purple package) if you    are susceptible to breakouts.

• Try to avoid alcohol containing aftershave products which are very drying, especially right after shaving. 

• Men who work out a lot or are involved with sports often suffer from back acne which seems to be triggered by sweat. A great solution is to use a benzoyl peroxide cleanser, such as Topix 5% BPO wash in the shower. Apply a nickel size amount onto a wash cloth or back brush and gently scrub the back then rinse off completely. After using daily for about 3 weeks, the blemishes should resolve nicely. If you have more troublesome acne on your back, contact your dermatologist.
