Men's Skin Care

“These faces in the mirrors are but the shadows and phantoms of myself.”
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

It is often said by medical professionals that your skin is the largest organ you have because it not only serves as a protective layer against the elements, but also breathes and perspires to provide overall temperature control for your body. More importantly, however, your skin often reveals a great deal about your general health and diet through simple observation, conclusions that might take multiple medical tests to reveal. As such, in order to look your best, men's skin care involves more than just proper grooming; it requires an investment in your health and longevity. This involves the use of hypoallergenic cleansers to wash away dead skin (along with dust and dirt) as well as the appropriate moisturizers and sunscreens to protect your skin against UV radiation and dryness.
