While men's skincare has its own unique issues to solve, much of the skincare advice here is effective for both genders. First, make sure all of your men's skincare products are safe and support the skin's overall health. For women and men anti-aging skincare should be completely safe, but many of the ingredients that cosmetic companies use are not safe and they are not even beneficial.

The big thing right now is to include this ingredient called argireline. They advertize it as a "safe" alternative to Botox injections. It is marketed as women's and men's anti-aging skincare "miracles."

Supposedly, there are immediate and lasting results, but the product has never been evaluated for safety. It is supposed to relax the facial muscles. That's supposed to reduce your wrinkles.

People used to call them "laugh lines", but we know that wrinkles aren't really caused by facial expressions. They are caused by free radical damage. No matter what your age, your men's skincare lotion should contain antioxidants, because they prevent the formation of free radicals and undo some of the damage that has already been done.

For men anti-aging skincare should also address the issue of redness and inflammation. Men who shave every day are particularly prone to these two problems.

An amino acid protein peptide has been shown in clinical studies to prevent inflammation and reduce redness. It's extracted from sheep's wool, so it's completely safe.

The extract also increases skin cell proliferation. This is something that scientists measure when they are evaluating effectiveness. When the body produces more skin cells, there is increased production of collagen and elastin fibers. Firmness begins to return and wrinkles become less noticeable.

Witch hazel should be apart of all men's skincare routine. It is an effective astringent, so it prevents infection in shaving nicks and cuts. It has antioxidants activity, so it helps prevent free radical damage. And, it is very soothing to sun and razor burns.

If they are designed for men anti-aging skincare creams should contain capuacu butter. It is more effective than Shea butter or Aloe Vera for the relief of burns and irritations. It naturally moisturizes without creating a greasy feeling.

Capuacu butter is made from fruit, so once again, it's completely safe. Another safe and effective ingredient is grape seed oil. All men's skincare creams should contain grape seed oil. It's an effective moisturizer, a wonderful antioxidant and it creates an invisible film that locks out dirt.

Your skin will stay cleaner longer. You'll have fewer breakouts and blackheads.

For men anti-aging skincare may seem like an uphill battle, but it doesn't have to be. You simply have to buy lotions and creams that give your skin the nourishment that it needs to keep producing new cells.

It needs protein, vitamins, antioxidants, fatty acids and moisture. You should take a good daily multivitamin and drink plenty of purified water. Every day, you should use a lotion that contains everything that the epidermis needs to stay healthy.

It may be a little difficult to find men's skincare products that contain all of those things. But, if it's not too much trouble, take the time to look right now. You'll be glad you did.
