Beauty products

Do you have any favorite beauty products from your teens or pre-teens? Current teenagers are so spoiled because they have Sephora and MAC stores, and then of course the internet with an endless supply of fabulous beauty products! Actually, it’s a good thing I’m not a teenager now, because I wouldn’t have nearly enough money to afford everything that I’d covet, since I would want everything!

Back in my day, (the 80s) there weren’t nearly as many options for beauty products, and I only purchased stuff from the drugstore. I don’t think I purchased a single department store product until my mid-20s!

My favorite 80s products (that I can remember) include: Sea Breeze toner, Buf Pufs, Noxema, Zinka hot pink chapstick, Sun-In, Bonne Bell lip smackers, Clearasil cleanser, everything by Wet ‘N Wild (especially blue mascara, blue eyeliner, and blue nail polish), and Secret Shower Fresh deodorant (which I’m still mourning over to this day).luxury detoxr

Olay Regenerist Deep Hydration Regenerating Creamis a product I’ve been using for a few years (it used to be called Perfecting Cream), and I really like it for several reasons. It doesn’t cause breakouts, which is great. However, I did use the serum version once, and it caused me to get a rash. The serum contains more peptides, though, so it is a great option if you don’t get a rash from it! The Olay cream also got picked as the best “wrinkle cream” last year in a report done by Consumer Reports. The magazine did a study where they had women use all sorts of different creams (including super expensive ones) and they took before and after closeup photos after a month or two. The Olay cream is the only one that showed a visible improvement in the wrinkles and texture of the model’s skin! Woot! I felt so smart when that report came out!!!

The cream contains peptides, which are supposed to stimulate collagen production. Its other ingredients are supposed to calm inflammation in your skin, and improve the texture of your skin. I really have seen an improvement in my skin since I’ve been using the cream. Here’s the only problem….I started using it at the same time that I started using Differin (a prescription acne and wrinkle gel), so it’s difficult to know which product to attribute to the improvement in my skin. I also started using the cream at the tail end of my major bout with acne, and had experiemented with all sorts of different products while using this cream.

While it’s deemed a moisturizer (and even has Deep Hydration in its name) it’s not a very heavy moisturizer, nor extremely moisturizing. It’s good for normal skin, and if you have super dry skin, you might want to use this, and put another moisturizer over it (which I do sometimes). If you use this in the day time, make sure to also use a sunscreen. At $15-19, I think this cream is worth trying. It’s a little pricey for a drugstore item, but it may just work better than a lot of super expensive department store products! I still recommend using a good retinol product as well, but this is a great daily moisturizer.

Tips for Skin Care of Men

• Skin Type-It is important to determine which skin type you have. Is it oily, dry or normal? Depending upon your skin type you choose skin products.
• Wash your face-Wash your face at least twice in a day. Once or twice in a week use lukewarm water for washing your face. Use a mild soap and cold water. Wash your face after playing games.
  
• Cleansing-Use deep cleanser because men’s skin is more oily, dirty or polluted than women.
  
• Moisturizer-Apply moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated.
  
• Shaving-Good practice is to shave after shower. Use a sharp razor having double blade attached. Apply pre-shave lotion if you are using electric razor.
  
• Nutritious Diet-Eat healthy diet which is rich in anti-oxidants, vitamin E, C, and A. Drink plenty of water and fresh fruit juices for good skin.
  
• Exercise-It is also one of the important factors. Daily exercise keeps you active and maintain your blood circulation which directly reflects on your face.
