It might be 2010, but some men STILL refuse to pay adequate attention to their skin- for fear of being ridiculed by their mates in the pub!

However, the ‘metrosexual’ man knows just how important a proper skin care regime is- which is why more and more women are finding it increasingly difficult to get into the bathroom in the morning! However annoying this may be, it’s most definitely a good thing in the long run, and your fella will stay looking hunky years to come!

If your other half is more likely to wash ‘n’ go with any bar of soap that happens to be lying around, you definitely need to help to guide him along the right track.

Getting your man to follow a good skin care routine needn’t be a massive struggle though, and with a little gentle guidance and a little helping and from Dermalogica, he’ll love looking after his skin in no time at all.

Dermalogica’s fantastic Shave System line is great for all skin types, and boasts an unbeatable range of pre and post-shave products.

Why not treat your man to the Dermalogica Shave System Kit- the perfect way to kick-start that skin care.

Even in today’s society, where immaculately groomed men such as David Beckham and Christiano Ronaldo are seen as modern day role models, many men still think that following a proper skin care regime is seen as ‘girly’.

Although it’s unlikely to be a topic of conversation in the pub with the lads on a Friday night, looking after skin is just as important for men as it is for women, in order to keep it healthy and looking younger for longer.

In the past, a man’s idea of skin care was a quick shave in the morning, although now more and more men are realising that this is seriously insufficient.

Another common faux pas that many men make is using their partner’s skin care products. This isn’t the best idea, as men’s and women’s skin has different needs, and a man may have a completely different skin type to his other half.

Shaving can leave men’s skin extremely dry, so after cleansing it’s essential to use a hydrating moisturiser.

A great starting point for guy’s who really want to get their foot on the skin care ladder is investing in the Dermalogica Shave System Kit.

The set contains Daily Clean Scrub, Pre Shave Guard, Soothing Shave Cream, Post Shave Balm and Daily Defence Block- everything that is needed for a smooth shave and healthier skin.
