Men’s Skincare – Choosing the Right Stuff

men skincare

The attention paid to men’s health has certainly evolved over the last few decades. We have evolved from a time when men would rarely talk about (much less have) daily skincare regimens to today when industry research shows that men are spending as much money on skincare as women. Men are spending just as much money as women on skincare products, with male skincare products being the fastest-growing segment of the men’s grooming industry. With so many products, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of products available. So what is really necessary for the well-groomed man to have in his bathroom?

Healthy skin is a vital part of a person’s appearance. If your skin isn’t cared for properly, it can make you look older or unhealthy. There are many products to help men to maintain their skin including moisturizers, facial cleanser, anti-aging creams, body wash, and much more. How do you know which ones to choose, or even what you need? Here are a few things to keep in mind when selecting skincare products. 

1. Avoid products with heavy scents. While smelling good is something that everyone enjoys, many scents can easily be overpowering, particularly artificial scents. Products that have artificial scents can irritate your skin, as the additives used to create the scents are typically a combination of harsh chemicals. Stick with light or natural scents. In addition to avoiding possible rashes and breakouts, your coworkers will appreciate it.

2. When applying products, less is more. Some people think that in order for a skincare product to be effective, it must be layered on like paint on a bare wall. Most of the time, this is not the case. Moisturizers should be rubbed into the skin so that the skin is moistened but not wet. Many facial cleansers require only an amount the size of a nickel or quarter to be effective. In addition to being wasteful, the excessive product can clog your pores, causing breakouts or even cause infection. 

3. Go natural. Generally speaking, you want to stay as natural as possible with your skincare. Anti-acne products, for example, tend to use harsh chemicals such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. These chemicals have been known to cause chemical burns and allergic reactions, leaving permanent scars. Try and find options with fewer chemicals and that use overly artificial additives. 

4. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice. Men have particular needs when it comes to skincare, just as women do, and the variations between needs can be vast. What works for women’s skin may not work for yours so it’s important to pay attention to what your specific needs are. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, for instance, you’ll want to find products that contain a minimum of 50 SPF. If your skin tends towards dryness, then a good moisturizer is going to be a cornerstone product in your repertoire. Do you break out constantly? Then products for sensitive skin might be the best choice for you. Ask your doctor what they recommend and if you need to, see a dermatologist for persistent issues.

Skincare doesn’t need to be complicated. In fact, it’s best to keep things simple. Finding the right products might take a little time but in the end, the effort will be worth it. For many men, having a healthy, virile appearance is a key part of their psyche and self-worth. Learning what skincare products work best for you is the first step in this process.

Are Eczema and Acne Related?

Probiotic Action sheds light on how to treat adult eczema.

Recent discussions from Livescience.com discuss the causes and treatments for Eczema. While eczema is a common children’s condition, Probiotic Action, best known for their topical probiotic shares industry insight on treating adult eczema and it’s causes.

A recent article by livescience.com discussed the continued growth of eczema cases, which have grown to nearly 15 million, mostly effecting children and infants. For many, the skin condition disappears away with age, but many adults are finding their symptoms have worsened since a their youth. Probiotic Action shares industry insight on the causes of eczema, and how it may be related to acne.

As the article by livescience.com states, many are turning to topical antibiotic treatments, anti-fungal ointments and other acne like products to treat their eczema. While the sources of eczema vary from one individual to the next, often rough, dry, flaky skin is caused by an allergic reaction to outside elements, fibers like wool, colds, stress, or other illnesses that weaken the immune system. At a first glance the above listed are very similar to many causes and symptoms of acne, which is often why many of the treatments are the same.

Probiotic Action spokesman, Fernando Perez explains why using a natural acne remedy to help reduce the side effects of eczema may help those with the skin condition,

“For those with severe eczema, often breakouts are worsened by dry, cracked skin which create an environment for bacteria and infection to grow. If you notice, many of the prescribed treatments for eczema contain antibiotic properties, similar to the ones used for acne- there is a reason for this. When the skin is interrupted, and immune system is compromised, the balances of good and bad bacteria react on the skin, and infection occurs”.

Perez suggests that instead of using an antibiotic acne treatment that may “over treat” a skin condition, he suggests using a topical probiotic, or a natural acne remedy that helps to fight the bad bacteria causing infection, and maintain the good bacteria which protects skin rather than killing all bacteria. Perez continued that while using a topical probiotic may not defend skin from allergic reactions, it may help prevent the growth of breakouts.

How Drinking Probiotics May Help Clear Acne

[quote align=”center” color=”#000000″]Following the release of information that Kefir holds more probiotics than yogurt, Probiotic Action, popular for their adult acne treatment, shares new insight on why drinking probiotics as a supplement may help consumers get clear skin.[/quote]

A recent article by the mankatofreepress.com shared insight on how Kefir is being seen as a stronger probiotic product than yogurt, and how it helps promote the growth of probiotics in the body system.
As the article stated, Kefir, being a liquid is, not only digested quicker, but contains three times more probiotics strains than most yogurts.

As a leader in probiotic awareness and education, Probiotic Action, best known for their adult acne treatment shares how drinking Kefir may help aid in the reduction of breakouts, and promoting probiotic growth in the body. Those suffering with acne are often told that milk based products and dairy will contribute to acne flare ups. As a fermented milk product, items like yogurt and Kefir, have the reverse effect. As probiotics are needed to combat the P.acnes bacteria known to cause breakouts, probiotic based products help in the digestion of enzymes in milk products and other foods, which contribute to the production of acne causing oil, and feed the P.acnes bacteria.

Aside from the digestive aids, The PA team offers that the probiotics in a liquid form, will enter the body system faster, and if low in sugar, may help supplement a topical probiotic better than probiotics in pill form. “Every body will need a different amount of probiotics to help supplement their acne treatment,” says Probiotic Action spokesman Fernando Perez. “Drinking Kefir may work better for some than others, but is worth a try to gain a better mix of probiotics. If one is using a probiotic beverage to help supplement our adult acne treatment, make sure that the product has a low amount of sugar- consuming high amounts of sugar will only feed the bad bacteria causing flare ups,” added Perez.

Revolutionary Portable Acne Treatment

Unlike other acne cream suppliers Probiotic Action has developed a simple, portable, solution using the power of probiotics to treat the P. acnes bacteria known to create acne breakouts. In prior years many other companies were using messy creams, or extensive step by step processes requiring acne sufferers to fill their cabinets with many bulky products.

Recently, Probiotic Action has made the switch to a new “Micro Spray Bottle” that allows the acne treatment to fit in a pocket, or handbag without detection.

Fernando Perez, A Spokesman for Probiotic Action explains why having a portable acne treatment may change the lives of acne sufferers:

“Firstly, Probiotic Action is unlike any other acne treatment in that it uses stabilized spore-forming probiotic bacterium to fight P. acnes bacteria- there is no product quite like it. Secondly, this product can be created once a day in the morning with a few simple drops into the sprayer, and kept with the user for an entire 24 hours. For those on the go, keeping the solution in a car, gym bag, pocket or purse allows users to treat their acne several times a day, rather than just once or twice”, say Perez.

Additionally, Perez adds that since the solution has no odor, color, or residue using it several times a day can be done discretely by both men and women.
