Someone - no one knows exactly who - once said that a daily skincare regimen for men cannot consist of more than three products.
I am almost positive that it isn't one of the Ten Commandments.
Nor do I recall encountering it in the Philosophical Tractatus by Ludwig Wittgenstein, but, admittedly, I didn't read the whole thing because it was written in Latin. Nonetheless, one this statement was uttered, it quickly became enshrined in that dubious body of knowledge known as "conventional wisdom". loans singapore Conventional wisdom also has it that men should only have one girlfriend at a time.
Ever notice that conventional wisdom is usually about taking the fun out of everything?

2) use a cream shaving product (not airy foam) to lubricate your beard and help your razor glide across your face
3) an oil and alcohol-free post-shave (not aftershave) product to soothe irritation
4) a hydrating and anti-aging formula to nourish and gently exfoliate dead skin cells during the day
5) a bit of eye cream at the corners of your eyes to prevent wrinkling
6) an SPF 30 sunblock to protect your skin against harmful radiation during the day and

2) an acne therapy lotion used at night spread thinly over the face to prevent further acne breakouts
3) if your skin gets oily during the day, some acne pads to clear off the oil with a simple wipe
4) if you have brown spots or uneven pigmentation, a pigment repair formula used at night
