Men’s skin care products have been around for quite a while, and the skin care industry is huge for women of course. Recently I’ve been reading a bit about skin care products and anti aging products, for reasons unconnected with this blog.

Actually, looking for a gift for my wife.

I’ve been stunned by what I’ve found. The skincare and anti aging industry is pretty much unregulated by the FDA and there are all sorts of ingredients in skin care products and anti aging products that are considered suspect or downright dangerous. I had no idea.

There are actually whole organizations dedicated to trying to force the government and/or the skin care industry to clean up their products and make them safe. And on top of that it seems so many of these products don’t even work.

One of these organizations is called the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. If you’re interested in this stuff see what they have to say.

So before I got to buying some skin care products for my wife I did quite a bit of research and found some wonderful organic and quite natural skin care products that don’t have any nasty ingredients in them, and work. While I was browsing around their site I started looking at their men’s skin care products and got to thinking.

Do skin care and anti aging products for men make a good gift?

Interesting. I don’t use skin care products, and have never done so. Until I started my reading I would never have even thought of it, it just wasn’t a guy thing. However after doing quite some reading and finding out about the importance of taking care of yourself, and your skin, I’m thinking of starting.

After all, I exercise regularly, I’m a cyclist. And I try to eat a healthy diet. So why shouldn’t I start trying to take care of my skin, the largest organ in/on my body, as well as the rest of my body.

And I’ve been sunburned heaps, which is really bad for your skin, back in the days when I used to do a lot of surging and skin cancer was something that no one knew about.

So I’d be quite happy to get a range of skin care products as a gift.

However if your man is like I was a few days ago, he knows nothing about skin care, then I wouldn’t just get him to open up a gift box on his birthday and find a bottle of mens moisturizer in it. You don’t know what reaction you might get.

So first I’d talk a little to him about the importance of taking good care of himself, and his skin, and see how he reacts. Maybe show him a little of the information on the website of the company making the skin care products I’ve bought.

Read the signals and see whether you think he’d appreciate it, then try a small gift of a skin care product and see how it goes down.

If he doesn’t show any interest then get him that NFL jersey he’s always wanted.

And if you’re interested in finding out a little more about dangerous ingredients in skin care products you can read about them at the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and also on this site about Natural Skin Care.
