Skin Care for the men in our lives

Today I want to talk about mens skincare, I dont think they realize that it is just as important for them as it is for us, I am a skincare freak so this is one of the first things I notice (my sister has picked on me about this for years), men dont realize that they should be exfoliating and moisturizing, especially the ones who work outside as they are often exposed to sun and wind which can wreak havoc on the skin and speed up the aging process.
 
Men are not always as excited as us to go out and find skincare products for themselves ( cudos to the ones that are) so it is our job as their women to do this for them and help "preserve their sexy" because thats just what good skincare and grooming is....sexy!

I would like to recomnend some skincare products that are great for men and they come courtesy of one of my favorite people...Bobbi Brown, I am a huge fan of her cosmetics and skincare products and her less is more philosophy. Some great products for your guy to try are the soothing oil cleanser, lathering tube soap, toner,  buffing grains, protective face cream and the hydrating lip balm is great also, You can start them out with her ultimate beginers skin care kit so they dont feel bombarded with products. You can purchase all these products on her website BobbiBrown.com also Sephora carries some of these products as well.

Another line of products that Ive purchased for my guy in the past is the Nivea skincare for men line, this is geat as well and can be found in any drugstore and may be better for those on a budget.

DIY Whipped Coconut Oil Body Butter

As the winter months are now here, our skin needs xtra care, especially if your like me and have a mild case of Psoriasis or Eczema. Winter means plenty of exfoliation and moisturizing so Im going to give you a recipe for a simple and effective coconut oil body butter made with only two ingredients, coconut oil and vitamin E.
You will need the following:
     
      1 cup coconut oil ( I use organic coconut oil that I purchase at my local health store, its the best)

    1 tbl spoon Vitamin E Oil

Do not melt coconut oil before mixing, it must be in solid form to whip.
Add both coconut oil and vitamin E oil in a bowl and mix on high with hand mixer or Kitchen Aid untill it reaches a creamy, whipped consistancy pour in mason jar for storage and you are done, you may want to store in the fridge if your house stays at a considerably warm temp and remember that you dont need alot as this is oil based.
  I use this everday immediatly after showering, it does wonders for my dry skin and the smell is pleasant also.
Winterize and pamper the skin your in!
