Advice On Male Skin Care - Acne Product / Body Lotion / Moisturizer / Face Wash (Compiled)

[Guest imseeker]

Get a skincare item that's rich in vitamin C. This particular vitamin is responsible for lightening/whitening effects.

I swore by the Body Shop's Vitamin C eye gel-cream (it is really noticeable compared to other whitening eye creams like L'oreal etc)...until they stupidly replaced that particular product with a new Vitamin C eye product that comes with a dildo-like applicator.

There is a soap which I can't remember it's name. It's dark green in color and the packaging is like yellow. I am not sure but if I remember correctly, it could be sulphur soap. It's good for the skin. It's also available in any supermarket or provision shop. Just ask for the green color soap.

coaltar soap. medicinal smell. Boots brand. good for clearing acne on back.

GM, getting older lah.

Try StriVectin StriVectin-SD Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles...

Hi where to buy this product? Have eyebag problem too ..

I got this from Sephora in the States, but I do know SQ sells them on KrisShop on air too. Unfortunately their online shop don't carry this particular product though...

You can get this locally... $100

Always thought that body lotion is more for ladies but i realise that more companies are introducing body lotions for guys now which are meant to be applied daily.

Many gays also like to tan and the skin needs to be hydrated. Does body lotion gives u nice smooth skin? Anyone using?

[Manbane]

yes body lotion hydrates the skin..very useful for people exposed to the sun.

I use it daily now since i am doing lots of watersports under the sun.

I bought a lot of them....for my hands, feet, body, neck...... but never had the dicipline to apply them everyday, rather, only once a week sometimes....

[Blissfull]

Thought of using them but they seems so sticky and disgusting. So nope.

[Kolomon]

Was using Nivea Body Lotion Whitening Night few months back but stopped applying because I got lazy. Plus there's a smell and your body will be very sticky after applying.

It does make my body smother, whiter and hydrated though.

[jameshkh1209]

i think lotions are quite erotic. love to give a good rub and massage with lotion heh.

[Guest Yuya]

Tip: try using hand lotions for your body instead of body lotions. Hand lotions are formulated to be lighter and less greasy/heavy. Some hand lotions, like the Watsons' range, are specifically formulated with antioxidant ingredients such as black tea, berries and ginger to facilitate skin soothing and healing.

Used to apply then on stomach, got these ugly strech marks, but like no effect, then now lazy apply le

I think it's good to take care of one skin, especially so if the body (face) has been exposed to the sun often.

For post swim, I have Nivea whitening inner cell repair body milk. I bought this because it's only $2 per bottle (75ml) from Guardian. (feels its good price and size, and smells ok too).

For home, if I wanted something better, try Crabtree and Evelyn OR L'occitane.. Well, those are used my sis, just take some and use..

[Guest Guest]

Dun like those thick body lotions which have fragrances and are targeted more towards women.

Western countries have those men body lotions which are fragrance free, serum based and are absorbed fast into the skin. But they are not available in sg.

[qedcwc]

Luckily I use a non-sticky body lotion

Only apply when I develop rash-like skin bumps, especially at the underarms after tanning.....

I have two: one is Body Series G&H Lotion and the other is Allano Hand & Body Lotion. [G&H stands for glycerine & honey]

The former comes in the normal lotion bottle packaging and is more viscous.

The latter comes in an aerosol can, which requires shaking before using, and when pumped, ejects foam, which can be quite messy if u press the pump too deep.

But generally, I use the Body Series one when I'm indoors and the Allano one when I intend to conduct activities under the sun for a longer period as it helps to prevent burns.

As any other lotion, both may feel sorta sticky when you start to apply at first, but when you gradually rub and spread them out across your skin, they juz absorb w/o so much leaving the skin sticky.

Allano is awesome!!! I have been using this brand since I was born.... or rather.... my mother used it on me =)...

[Guest Guest]

I use it everyday after shower.

It softens the external layer of my skin. As a result, I have this radiant glow smoothness. I am an uncle already and some aunties even commented on my baby soft skin.

If you are skeptical, try it for a month then ask your partner or friend to feel your skin. This is more effective than those bullshit expensive placenta. Try getting those with vitamins C and E for whitening if you want.

If you work in air con environment or under harsh sunlight, you really need this in addition to drinking more water.

When applying the lotion, you also massage your skin to improve circulation.

[Guest imseeker]

I could never find a light fluffy body lotion/cream that's of a consistency like souffle. All the body lotions here leave this discernible layer on your skin, preventing it from breathing.

[Guest Unker]

I use Savonnette organic soap bars for my body and face (the lavender one smell real nice), Jason toothpaste. and tea tree shampoo from Giovanni. Am a soap and water kind of guy. I cant use non-organic products cos SLS and other chemicals make me itch.

Dun scrub your face too often. New skin need time to grow.

Certain food like strawberries, black beans, lemons have whitening effect.

If u have acne problem, need to be careful with your diet, sleep pattern & duration, your pillow case/face towel.

[Eliza27]

Of course not only women uses body lotion ! Everyone wants smooth and supple skin, just know what skin type you have!

[kennethhost]

I am using Garnier Extra Light (With 2x lemon essense) for whitening. Haven seen the result of whitening, but smoother.

[Jie Lam]

a bit insecure with the body acne and the skinny built that i have, went to the gym a few times before and instead of gaining muscle, i lost weight instead.. which made me look even more skinny..

as much as i want to go swimming, its feel embarass because of my skin and wierd nipples (larger than the norm size), went to bishan swimming complex twice and felt really awkward with all the people looking around.. it was more embarassing when a kid stared at my body and made this wierd face because of it.. plus because i have hairy armpits and pubes, i overheard one uncle at the bathroom whisper something about me being like a monkey.. u guys think i should remove the hair?

[cvbv1987]

hmm.. how about you first starting to take care your body by washing it regularly with proper body care products. If you think you are very hairy, then trim the hair you don't really like seeing. Some people like hairy guys but it really depends on how you see yourself.

About the weight part, i know it is little frustrating but perhaps try starting on a exercise program me and meal regime as well and stick to it. For a start, do push ups everyday, that might help (it did for me).

Don't be too conscious about what people has to say about you buddy. All the best

[Jie Lam]

just some parts are hairy (armpits and crotch area).. i actually eat a lot, and so far weight gain is a problem, hahaha

i dont'really know which body care products to use coz there are so many, and not cheap.. tried some before and didnt really help much.. lol, my metabolism is superfast i guess

[Friendly]

Most people are worry about not having enough hair.. haiz... I am also trying to gain more weight but it seems whatever i tried it does not help too.. guess we are just what the creator wants us to be.. but am happy that alot of guys prefer slim then ...cheers.. just live your life as what makes you happy is most important don stress yourself on the way you look.. cheers again..

[BlowWindBlow]

For the acne problem try going to the docs for some doxy antibiotics. They worked wonders for me XD. Scarring can be solved via later treatments or chemical peels.
