Coming from a ever-converting metrosexual: Clinique products really are some of the best. They have the facial soap and the facial scrub along with a facial moisturizer along with an eye cream for puffiness and dark circles from lack of sleep. Its not cheap as its $35-$40 bucks for each moisturizer, buts its great quality stuff. If you were going to skimp anywhere i'd get a cheaper facial scrub and facial soap, but not on the moisturizer. If you really need some help get a vitamin mask and maybe some cucumbers or under eye patches for additional glow. Its called mixing an insane work schedule with a daunting social life!
I've tried ProActiv. It works I suppose, but it's not the blow-you-away-awesome skin treatment. It's also really expensive. I'm surprised more people haven't tried ProAcne, the knockoff Wal-Mart brand of ProActiv. I'm telling you, it's much cheaper (around $25 for the system) and it's by far the best skin treatment I've ever tried. Within two or three days of using it in the morning and at night, you get a smoother, more even complexion, and the overall clean feeling is awesome. I'd recommend that stuff to anyone. It's a great alternative to ProActiv and it actually works.
has nobody mentioned increasing your water intake? Drink plenty of water. Keep hydrated, and then drink some more. It will help your skin as much as anything can.
For a moisturizer, I recommend Biotherm Homme T-Pur. It's the perfect lightness and it stops your face from getting shiny during the day.
I was going to say Proactiv until Brightside's post derailed me. Drink alot of water Don't touch your face Wash your face twice a day Eat less greasy food Use moisturizers? Eat some veggies or fruits every day What's really important is SLEEP...but since that can't be helped
giz. It's magical. I can sell some to you. Just setup a monthly recurring PayPal to me for $19.95 plus tax and shipping and you'll be on your way.
I love using biore strips to get the crap out of your nose. I only do it maybe 2-3 times a year. my wife hates how I force her to look at all the black heads i yank out. She hates hearing, "Look it is like a little forest."
You guys are awesome! Lots of great suggestions here, and since I'm super anal I will probably try them all out. Thanks for the great info mixed with the great humor.
i thought the commercial said "whoa... looks like a porcupine!", but anyway... i went to cvs a couple of weeks ago and got a couple of products from the "loreal men's expert" line. one is an oil controller, which definitely controls the oil, but leaves your skin looking like sandpaper after a week. so now i wash my face, put on the oil controller, and then put a light spread of aveeno on top. does ok i guess, but not worth the ten bucks for the small bottle. the other loreal MEN'S expert product is an anti-dark circle cream. i have some big arse circles under my eyes from staring at a computer all day (work and pr0n) and lack of sleep, so i spent another ten bucks for this. i've used it for a couple of weeks and haven't noticed any change. summary of story... don't buy either one. they suck arse.
It's a shame Trader Jorge isn't around to close this case. I guess Patrick Bateman is as close as we can get to TJ's edification.
