Men’s personal care products used to consist of shaving cream, shampoo, and deodorant, but the result of the growing global men’s grooming market is a myriad of products – moisturizers, facial cleansers, anti- aging lotions, concealers, and even facial masks- all designed specifically for men. Men’s toiletries are one of the fastest growing categories, in terms of value and volume, in the beauty and personal care market. 4 5 I - 6 Shaving preparation include those product that used before, during and after hair removal process: A- Pre-shave preparations: Include bread softening cream, pre-electrical shave preparation.

C- After shaving products: Include clear lotion, after shave gel, balm and powder. 7 PRE-SHAVE PREPARATIONS Pre-shave Preps are products intended to be used by men immediately prior to shaving. These products typically contain an astringent which causes bristles to lift up from the skin's surface, facilitating a close shave. Pre-shave preps are most frequently used with electric shavers but they can also be used when wet shaving. The safety of Pre-shave preps is established by selection of ingredients that are safe and suitable for this purpose. 8 PRE-SHAVE PREPARATION Glycerin Bisabolol Isopropyl Myristate Benzophenone-1 Octyldodecanol PPG-15 Stearyl Ether Tocopheryl Acetate Phenyl Trimethicone Menthol Fragrance Botanical Ingredients Color Additives Water 9 Cooling and desensitizing on contact via Menthol and Camphor, light-weight cream preps.

These products are usually in the form of cakes or sticks that produce a lather when rubbed on the skin. Shaving Soaps typically contain glycerin, which helps water remain on the skin, thereby softening the hair on the surface of the skin. INGREDIENTS Dimethicone - Glycerin - Pentasodium Pentetate - Polysorbate 40 -Titanium Dioxide - Potassium Stearate - Menthol – Fragrance - Sodium Chloride – Botanical ingredients 15 After shave preparation It often contains an antiseptic agent such as denatured alcohol, to prevent infection of cuts, as well as to act as an astringent to reduce skin irritation. Menthol is used in some varieties as well to numb damaged skin. After shave is sometimes mistakenly referred to as eau de cologne due to the very similar nature of the two products. Some aftershave manufacturers encourage using their fragranced aftershave as if it were cologne, in order to increase sales by encouraging consumers to use it in a more versatile manner, rather than just after a shaving session. Some aftershaves were inspired by a cologne. 16 EXAMPLE: Alcohol Glycerin Propylene Glycol Isopropyl Myristate Lanolin Dipropylene Glycol Glyceryl Stearate Carbomer Mineral Oil Fragrance Botanical Ingredients Color Additives 17 II- ORAL CARE PRODUCTS Oral Care Products are intended to cleanse the oral cavity, freshen the breath, and maintain good oral hygiene. Some products also include ingredients to protect against the formation of cavities. Mouthwashes are used for cleaning and freshening the mouth and for oral hygiene.

  • Beauty Tips: the Ins and Outs of Hair Removal
    Beauty Tips: The Ins and Outs of Hair Removal Let’s be honest; not all of us are blessed with perfectly smooth skin. Some of us may have rough-looking skin due to acne scarring, while others may have hyper-pigmentation and dark spots. There are also those of us who may have unwanted hair on certain areas of our body. These things, especially follicular growth, can be treated. But, there are so many ways to get rid of unwanted hair that it can be confusing to choose which one to opt for when deciding to get rid of excess hair growth. There are currently three very popular hair removal methods. Read on to see the pros and cons for each method and see which beauty tip might work best for you. Laser Hair Removal This method works by using a laser to inhibit hair growth. Hairs that get targeted by the laser fall out in a span of a few weeks. Laser hair removal might be the best choice of weapon in fighting unwanted hair since it doesn’t take long for the results to be permanent. It’s also great for people who have sensitive skin, since it does not result in razor burn or a raw feeling after waxing or shaving. The only down sides of this method are that the procedures can be pricier than traditional hair removal methods, and treatment usually requires multiple visits in order to get the desired results. Some skin tones and hair colors do not lend themselves well to laser hair removal, since lasers target the melanin in the hair.

  • Guide to Traditional Wet Shaving
    GUIDE TO TRADITIONAL WET SHAVING This guide will teach you the Gentleman's routine to traditional wet shaving. Wet shaving is not hard but will take some time to get used to. The best piece of advice, SLOW DOWN . The goal is not to finish quickly, but take your time and achieve the balance. Shaving correctly will take a short time to get used to, but we promise you will get it and wonder why it took so long to make the switch. Finding the angle of the blade is key, these heads do not flex like the cheap plastic cartridge razors you might be used to. After 5-10 shaves you will be a master. TOOLS OF THE TRADE : • Safety Razor • Shave Brush • Shave Soap/ Shave Cream • Shave Bowl • Alum Block • Post Shave Balm PREP: Your face is best prepped for shaving using hot water. Shave after a hot shower or bath and use a hot towel to get your face ready. STEP 1: WET THE BRUSH Not too wet, not too dry - you will find the balance. Get the brush wet enough that it picks up soap from the puck, but not too wet or else you will lose a good lather. Remember, it is always easier to add water than to take away. STEP 2: CREATE THE LATHER Once soap is on the brush, swirl soaped brush around the bowl to create a lather. Go fast here, think of a mixing bowl. Add water as necessary but be careful not to add too much, you want this to stay thick.

To minimize the trauma of shaving, a wide range of preparations are now available that prepare the beard and face for shaving, increase speed and comfort during shaving and confer a feeling of well-being after shaving. The choice of selecting shaving product depends upon the individual that which type of preparation is required for shaving. 1.1 Beard softening Beard softening results from the variations in the mechanical properties of hair by the absorption of water. At 100 % relative humidity hair absorbs about 31% of its dry weight of water. The hydration of hair is improved by increase in temperature; however, views differ on the time taken by the hair to hydrate completely.

  • Summer Skin Care
    Summer Skin Care Hello Sunshine! Summer is all about baring your skin. With a little extra effort you can achieve that healthy summer glow Q. What should I do to get my skin ready for the summer sun? A. There’s a few things you can do. First of all, throw away last year’s sunscreen. Once the expiration date has passed, it is no longer effective. Exfoliate to remove dry skin, and hydrate by using plenty of moisturizer. Q. I love the sun-kissed glow of tan skin, but I’m worried about sun damage. A. You should consider a sunless tanner. It’s a practical alternative to sunbathing. You can give your skin a tanned look without exposing it to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Topical sunless tanning products are generally considered safe alternatives to sunbathing, as long as they're used as directed. Q. I don’t have a much time to invest in a summer skin regime – are there a few basics to keeping my skin healthy? A. Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can actually help delay the natural aging process and prevent many skin problems. Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., wear protective clothing, and use sunscreen when you're in the sun. Q. My dry skin seems to get even dryer in the summer. How can I manage it? A. Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin, so be gentle. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time, use warm rather than hot water, and choose mild cleansers.
