You know how it is with guys and skin care? That the two don’t mix? Well, that’s just not true. We are concerned about our skin. It just takes a while for us to get to the point where we consciously seek out ways to improve and protect our “outer layer”.
We start out quite simply enough by popping our own pimples (apparently a big no-no) that were brought about by puberty. Gradually, we move on to the commercially available astringents (another big no-no) that were used by our yayas (nannies). It sort of tapers-off in college (buying skin care products cuts into our beer budget) then steps up again when we enter the corporate world.
The thing is, it’s just not enough. In my case, years of futbol (soccer for the other half of the world), golf, scuba diving, hanging out at the beach and plain neglect have taken it’s toll. This realization came to me while in bed engrossed in a game on my iPad. I suddenly felt the urge to take better care of my skin. With a jolt, I got out of bed and made a bee-line for my wife’s stash of beauty products (my wife is a dermatologist and skin care products for men make me break out).
After a few minutes of digging, I settled on an anti-wrinkle facial moisturizer by Celeteque Advanced which is pictured here. It has a “Double Peptide Comlex” that is supposed to penetrate deep into the skin to help stimulate the formation of collagen. It’s in a cream form which you pump out of the bottle (store it upside-down, otherwise, all you get is air). And, surprisingly, the mositurizer doesn’t make me look like I just dipped my face in a vat of oil. I’ve been using it morning and evening for a few days now and I haven’t broken-out yet. Very encouraging…
I must recommend this to my yaya…
