Just as women search for “youth in a bottle,” men also seek the fountain of youth and try many anti aging methods.  There are many products on the market these days for men when it comes to skin care and there are even anti-aging just for men products in more masculine packaging for men’s skin only.

Women and men’s skin ages for all the same reasons, age and time, excessive sun exposure, toxins in our food and environment, stress, and alcohol and cigarette smoking.  What’s happening here is that the skin is losing the elastin and collagen and the skin is losing volume and wrinkling.  Some of the most basic things a man can do to fight the problem of aging skin is to take care of the body in the first place.  Watch your sun exposure, even in winter time and protect your skin from the environment with sunscreen.  Take care that your diet is a healthy one and keep up an exercise routine.  Add to these antiaging measures, watch your alcohol intake and stop smoking.  Smoking, like over exposure to the sun are the major culprits in aging of the skin.

Nutrional supplements can specifically aid the skin in retaining a youthful appearance.  You should already by taking at least a one a day high quality multi-vitamin.  Add a larger dose of Vitamin C, some hyaluronic capsules (collagen building) and Genacol which is also a collagen building product on the market today.  Check with your doctor or a naturopath for the correct dosages.

As women do, men should also take care of their skin by having anti aging facials at a spa.  These treatments are cleansing, moisturizing, nourishing and also stress relieving.  If you haven’t had a facial yet, you should definitely book an appointment for one.  A facial for men will include deep cleansing and should be done at least once a month.

There are many other treatments a man can get at a spa which will help with maintaining a youthful skin.  For instance, there is an anti aging treatment called microdermabrasion.  This is also an anti aging treatment and can accompany a facial.

Microdermabrasion sloughs off the old dead cells to stimulate the growth of new cells.  Not only will it give your skin a fresh, cleansed appearance, it relaxes and helps you to feel great.

There are many companies that have anti aging skin care products just for men.  Experiment and check out some of the most common brands such as Lancome for Men, Clarins Men, Clinique, to name a few.  As well, there are organic skin care products available on the market too.  It all depends on your preference.
