Can my husband use my skincare, or should he stick with something specifically for a man's skin?
Skincare products should be selected according to skin type and concern instead of by gender. While your skincare won't do him any harm, it probably won't meet his individual needs as well as a personalized regime. However, if you share a particular concern, e.g., acne, he will get the same results from your zit-zapper.
Identify his skin type and create a skincare regime just for him. He doesn't have to stick with products created exclusively for men either. You can look for products to meet his needs from both men's and women's lines. Most men's lines focus on an after-shave product to soothe sensitivity and irritation and contain fragrances that appeal to men, but other than that, the difference between men's and women's lines is mostly in the packaging.

If he's a one-stop-shopper, try Anthony Logistics For Men, it offers the most comprehensive range of men's products in one collection. Other lines like DDF, Peter Thomas Roth (PTR), and Murad - all offer great products positioned towards the needs of both genders and their packaging is unisex, too.

What after-shave can I use for my sensitive skin?
Many after shave balms are alcohol-free and very soothing on sensitive skin. Two great gift choices are Calvin Klein Contradiction Aftershave Relief Balm (a light, casual, clean scent), or Anthony Logistics Aftershave Balm. Try them both for different moods and occasions.

I am just beginning to shave my face, can you give me any tips?
The experts at e-Shave introduce "shaving made e-z for men:"
If you choose to shave your face, the experts at e-Shave, who introduced shaving made e-z, have some suggestions:

Step 1: Shave after your shower and apply a hot towel for one minute to soften the hair.
Step 2: Run the e-Shave ¨º Alum Block under warm water. Rub it lightly against the facial skin in an upward motion to lift hair away and allow for a closer shave.
Step 3: Shave with the grain and always use a sharp blade.
Step 4: Rinse face with cold water after shaving.
Step 5: Rub the e-Shave ¨º Alum Block gently against the skin to cleanse and close the pores.
Step 6: Apply a soothing after-shave and sunscreen.

What do you have to offer for men who want to care for their skin?
Men can experience benefits from products and ingredients similar to those used by women. Many men are quite happy using their female partner's skincare products, while others opt for lines designed specifically with men in mind. Shaving, and its effect on the skin, often require special treatments and ingredients, particularity if you suffer from irritation, ingrown hairs, and break outs.
Brands that cater to men:

e-Shave offers a full range of products focused on shaving. Razors, creams, and treatments that receive rave reviews!

Investigate Philosophy products dedicated to men - Razor Sharp, The Great Awakening, The Common Man, The Power Shower, and Physical Therapy. (Note: purchase these products at Sephora stores.)

Established in 1875, Geo F. Trumper was one of the first of the exclusive barber's shops for gentlemen in London. Trumper sells masculine shaving creams, soaps, face lotions, colognes, razors, and brushes.

A man's skin is thick and subject to aggressions like shaving. Nickel products are tailored to these factors, and are made with a high percentage of active ingredients. Tensor agents, fruit acids, blends of vitamins, and oligo elements make Nickel products highly effective on men's skin. A fine example is Lendemain de Fete, enriched with unroasted coffee and caffeine. This complex decongests, reactivates, and tones skin while giving it a long-lasting, extra fresh sensation.

Anthony Logistics For Men is a multi-functional, multi-benefit personal care system of skincare and bath and body products. The line consists of four key categories: hair, face, shave and body. The line features the finest natural-botanical-herbal ingredients specially formulated for men's skin. All of the products in the line are allergy-tested.

Follow the same basic steps that comprise a good skincare regime: cleanse, moisturize (eyes and face), and protect (sunscreen!). Additionally, incorporate treatments according to your specific needs
