[Solved] Matrix skincare for men

Call me old fashioned but I don't use skincare as I have always left that for the ladies!!

Water, soap and the odd splash of after shave!!!

im old fashioned but dont want to look it before my time.

i use few things, a after sahve cream, facial toner and mosituriser, and also use face scrub to clear pores.

its basically having a wash but using few diff products.

leaves my skin very soft lol

I use moisturiser every day and occasionally a scrub, but my wife has now given me eye cream!! and says she can tell when I don't use it - as my crows feet look worse!!

I don't mind though and once you start using them regularly you do miss them if you don't use them asmy face feels tighter throughout the day.

I use a shave gel which is supposed to help the skin - does that count? 🙂
Then finish up with a dash of aftershave.

Have used a face scrub before but could never get in the routine of it and anyway I scrape my face every other day with a razor....

I wet shave daily in the shower, so no shaving gel or any stuff other than cream soap on my face at all. I'm 50+ but still don't have lines on my face so I'm a good advert for not using anything, but I do avoid the sun generally so I think that helps a lot.

I have started pinching the partners lotions and potions as i have started to notice that my skin is becomming rather dry and old looking 😯 she not very happy about me using her stuff though and i do get a good tickin off but buy her a bottle of wine or box of chocolates and she forgets that i ever used her expensive potions

Already use.

well I'm a bit wrinkly on the face and have started using cleansing and moisturising stuff.
I have a hunch that its too late, but i'm still trying.

Mother nature seems to have ravished me of any chance of a skincare product working, that is unless you know otherwise. 😆

Mother nature can be a jealous b*tch sometimes 😆

I work outdoors so use moisturiser to protect from the elements. Also use after shave balm and quite like the wifes exfoliator!!!! 🙄

Soap & Water is all I use - and it has served me well until recently, been quite lucky in never having spots/greasy skin etc..

However now im 7 months away from turning 30 I have been thinking now might be a good time to start with all this skin care malarky as I have had the odd spot - have the begginings of lines in the forehead and small crows feet coming on - don't look quite as fresh faced as I used to - mind you this could just be down to being a dad to a toddler! 😉

put my name in the hat please, I'd like to give it a go...

I use mens skincare products especially during winter months.

i have to use a post shave cream otherwise my skin burns!

My husband only uses soap and water, but I think he needs these products as he has dry skin

I use after shave only aparat from water.

I moisturise.. moreso in the summer but im not ashamed to admit it. Looking after your skin shouldnt be only for women.

I use a deep clensing facial scrub and use a facial moisturiser every evening 🙂 )

What a thing to admit in a first post but I use moisturiser and eye stuff (want to avoid big dark circles under my eyes!)....

yes i use moisturiser

Skincare for men? 😆 no sorry i don't believe in adding man made lotions and potions to the skin-the mrs doesn't and has never used fancy doo dah skin stuff and has great skin, on the other hand her mother and siblings do and have yucky damaged skin which they then need to cover up using thick polycell filla aka "make up" 😆 so if it can do that to womens skin why would a man want to use skin softeners and moisturisers to poncify themselves? fair enough a bit of after shave which, while stinging like heck, will help heal and sterilise those shaving "nicks" but having 'oh so soft skin' as soft as a babies [censored]? do men really want 'babies bums' as their faces?? 😉 ) - ie women don't as a rule work down mines, work as car mechanics, or builders labourers, and men don't as a rule work as beauty therapists, midwives or page 3 models 😆

I use the girlfriends clenser and toner on occasion hmmmm

Mostly man don't bother about their skin due to this reason their skin become rough in early age. We should care our skin with natural products. Fruits and vegetables are best for glowing skin and drink more water to escape from dehydration.

Moisturise from the inside.....Drink plenty of water

well i don't use any of those so called creams how ever i find that if you use hair conditioner in stead of shaving gel you get the same affect

i use to suffer from shaving rash and this seemed to have worked.

this would help tooo

heard something on the radio a couple of days ago about a new bit of scientific research (the scientist was remarkably deadpan considering that it could be worth billions eventually) - can't remember the compound in particular, but they had a woman being interviewed who said that generally (and she stressed that) men have more oil in their skin so don't suffer the effect of ageing quite as much. 😀
