Its a common misunderstanding that men don't care about hygiene products..I'm sure most of us men detest body odour...the market for men skin care and hygiene
Products was valued at about $2billion dollars in the year 2009 and predicted to get to the estimated amount of about $28billion dollars by 2014.
From grooming to skin care here are the products that've got u covered but first lets talk about skin type..
1. Body wash/cleanser for your skin type
Choose a kind of skin cleanser based on your skin type whether bar soaps or liquid cleanser.if you have oily skin look for cleansers that are water based and soap free..men with dry skin should go for cleansers that are very rich in ingredients that soothes and soften the skin Such as glycerin, urea petrolatum base oil.if u have a sensitive skin choose a soap Fred cleanser that are also fragrance free..watch out for preservatives such as parben which may trigger allergic reaction.
2. Shaving cream
It might be okay to use shaving cream instead of your regular face soaps because i think shaving cream is better..shaving cream lotion or gel creates a layer of protection between your skin and the razor blade...that protective layer reduces the impact of the blade on your skin which aids in the reduction of irritation such as razor bumps and razor burn..
Choose a gel or cream that is thicker with hydrating ingredients and let it stay on your skin to soften air before shaving
NOTE> Anything with alcohol based ingredient can dry your skin and can even cause allergic reactions
3. Aniiperspirant and deodorant
In America only $1billion dollars is spent every year on this products to stop Sweat and body odour...the human body has about 2.6million sweat glands in a single person and can produce 1 to 3litres of sweat in just an hour in hot climate......
Deodorants are very good for combating odour,wetness or both,, deodorants and
Antiperspirants are Wonderful combination in your body care box arsenal..
They work temporarily by plugging up your pores making it impossible for sweat to escape...deodorants don't stop sweat they only mask body odour with fragrance therefore reducing the number of odour carrying bactaria on your skin..
4.Moisturizers
Just as you consider your skin type before buying any body care products you should
also consider your skin needs before buying any moisturizer.if you have a normal skin lucky you,but if u dont you will need to be a little choosy..
But first lets look into guys that are acne prone or that have oily skin, u will need a
Moisturizer..look for products that are water based and non comedogenic..meaning
those products don't add oil to the skin and they wont clog your pores
Dry skin sufferers need a thicker product, look for moisturizers that are oil based or contain hydrating ingredients such as glycerin or petrolatum..you should also look for fragrance free moisturizers because fragrance is s common cause of skin irritation and allergic reactions.. I didn't forget the ladies theirs is next...
