Skinceuticals for men: Skin care for youthful look

Robert in Allentown, Pennsylvania, who celebrated his 30th birthday last week, writes, "I married my high school sweetheart but our marriage was a total failure. We decided to end it after just two years. For another two years, I literally did not date and devoted myself to my career. But now I realize that I have a long life ahead of me and I cannot live it all by myself. So I am ready to date but it seems that I don't look young any more even though I am just 30. I have been asked to use skinceuticals. What are they and would you recommend that I use them?"

Skinceutical is a term that is derived from combining "skin" with the "ceutical" part of pharmaceutical. Or in other words, these are products that have some of the properties of pharmaceutical products that work on your skin. While these are not drugs as per the definition of FDA, they have many drug-like benefits and are developed after years of research and testing.

What we are finding is that due to the stresses of a difficult marriage and divorce, a man can add more than 10 years to his appearance. Not only are you not eating/sleeping/exercising right or taking care of your skin, you are also in an unhappy mood all the time. The damage can be lasting if not taken care of right away.

So whoever is recommending that you use skinceuticals is giving you good advice. Skinceuticals will provide you with a range of products and each will work in a different way on your skin. A SkinCeutical package for men will typically include:

1. Antioxidant protection that improves skin tone and elasticity as well as reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
2. A moisture replenisher that nourish and hydrate the skin.
3. Hydrating Gel to maximize the benefits of your daily moisturizer and leave skin supple and smooth.

It is typically recommended that you use these products daily. As we consistently point out to our readers, you have to make other lifestyle changes apart from using skinceuticals to repair the damage to your skin and change your appearance. This is what we suggest:

• A positive attitude towards life
• Regular exercise
• Healthy eating habits
• Eliminate alcohol and smoking (Related article: Excessive smoking and drinking is bad for skin)
• Drink plenty of water and consume lots of fruits and vegetables
