Ten Age-Defying Secrets for Men to Avoid Plastic Surgery

NOM
1. Hydrate your skin - consider Neutrogena Men Triple Protect Face Lotion, SPF 20, which Soothes razor irritation and does not sting. The more hydrated your skin is, the less it wrinkles and it is softer to touch, as well as calms your skin after a rough shave.

2. Scrub your face to get rid of dead skin cells. A gentle scrub prepares your skin for a smooth, close shave, it will exfoliate dull, dry skin and remove impurities and excess oil and deep-cleans pores so that you have fewer blackheads and pimples. You do not need to scrub hard, the product will do the work. Another good scrub product is the scrubs in the Neutrogena Radiance line. Consider Derek Jeter's Driven Foaming Face Scrub.

3. Address pre-mature gray hairs, less than 5% gray in your hair can be ignored or addressed with a wash-in hair color, but more than 20% may require permanent or semi-permanent color. Sometimes a product like Just for Men can be combed into specific spots, but it will not work on resistant gray. Don't forget your beard and mustache if applicable. Gray beards can be very aging.

4. Avoid a rough shave and invest in a shave gel instead of a shaving cream. PROSport Daily Performance Sleek Glide Shave Gel is a good one. Derek Jeter also makes a good one to use to have a soothing shave.

5. Pay attention to eye area. A great product for lightening dark circles is Lancome's for Men Age Fight Yeux, an Anti-Age Eye Perfecting Gel Anti-Dark Circles. Anti-Puffiness. Another good one is Avon's Lighten Up that lightens and reduces puffiness.

6. Never go out without sun protection, don't forget your neck, throat, ears, and chest if you are going shirtless. Derek Jeter always wears it for practice and games, and his skin looks terrific. Many lotions have a SPF in them (if they say they do, stick with 15 or higher) and remember to reapply often if you are sweating or swimming AVON SUN General Protection Sunscreen Lotion SPF 40 is good for general use.

7. Use an eye drop to keep your eye whites looking white and your eye color from fading. Consider Visine to keep your eyes from looking bloodshot, the more white your eye looks, the bigger it looks and you look more sincere. A potential way to keep your blue eyes blue is to take Lutein, which keeps the eye cells that maintain color as long as possible.

8. Slow down hair loss. Frederick Fekkai makes a line of products to keep hair growing based on vitamin B applied topically. Another option is DS Laboratories High Performance Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo is a shampoo that combines specific anti- antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that cause a hair growth stimulating effect with moisturizing properties to the hair shaft. Basically, if you have dandruff or hormone building up and constricting the hair follicle, this helps keep your scalp healthy so your hair can be healthy and grow unobstructed and prevent hair loss preemptively. If you sense you are already losing hair, consider investing in the Laser Hair Comb.

9. Enhance complexion with a hint of color. A good product for this is Neutrogena Radiance which has a hint of color that builds over time and a SPF 15 in its moisturizer. It is a natural glow, not a funny orange color.

10. Keep your teeth white. Yellowing teeth make your face look surprisingly old and dull. Consider Crest White Strips or a one hour BriteSmile treatment.

    Good article. Even though I'm under 30, I guess it's never too early to start caring about the aging process of your skin.
