    I have recentlyu began paying a lot more attention to my appearance and noticed a good reaction from women because of it ... I was just wondering do guys ever use make up products or skin products to enhance their appearance?

    thanks

    I don't use make up but I use Clinique products for my face... scuffing lotion, face wash, scrub, post shave balm, eye re-vitiliser & m-lotion. My face is the better for it too, no spots, lines or blemishes :D

    My boyfriend uses a face wash and moisturiser and exfoliating scrub on occasion. He also uses sunscreen at my insistance :p A good cleanser for your face and a moisturiser that suits your skin type can really help your appearance.

    Yep, I know a guy who has no problem admitting his use of moisturizer, etc.

    He says his boyfriend loves it too.

    OMG :eek:
    Shave 3 times a week, use a little after shave balm with aloe vera after shaving.
    Any more and you are entering a world of pain.

    In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack.

    After I remove the icepack, I use a deep pore-cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water-activated gel cleanser. Then a honey-almond body scrub and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub.

    Then I apply an herb mint facial masque which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine.

    I always use an after-shave lotion with little or no alcohol because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older.

    Then moisturizer...

    then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing "protective" lotion.

    If someone really followed that routine their skin would be in bits!

    LOL, had you guys going for a minute :D

    Japanese men universally use moisturiser and aftershave balm, and light oils to keep their hair nice and glossy. Mind you, the climate there is hard on the skin.

    I fell for it completely and I've seen that movie.
    Was so gonna mock you endlessly......very good KTRIC ;)

    There is nothing wrong with men using skin products, anyone who says otherwise is a total neanderthal. Why shouldn't men make the best of themselves and keep themselves looking as good as possible.

    As previously mentioned, Clinique do a lovely line of products for men, as do Clarins.

    I would draw the line at mens make-up. I know it available now, but it is never gonna look natural and will make you look like a nonce!

    I also hate fake tan on a man, mind you, I'm not fond of it on women either...

    DEFINITELY NO to man make-up. Guys and girls will laugh at you!!! I use a bit of facial scrub and moisturizer, never really noticed the difference it made but im not that good at attention to detail (even with myself).

    Really? That is how Asian hair is so glossy?
    I thought it might be genetics.
