Men Don't Have to 'Make Do' AnymoreWomen have always been the primary focus of skin care product manufacturers. This means that in the past years, men either had to make do with what little options they were given or they simply had to use products that were designed for women's skin tone. As almost every man who has ever used a woman's moisturizer or eye serum understands, there is a world of difference between a man and a woman's skin tone. This means that what works best for a woman almost certainly does not work on a man, even if they both have dry or oily or acne-prone skin. Note that one man's skin tone can also differ widely from that of another man. This means that the skin care routine that works best for one man might not work for another. This book aims to bridge the differences and create an overall skin care routine that would be useful for every Tom, Dick, and Harry. Men Have to Be Careful TooLet's face it: men have more habits that are detrimental to the skin's health and well-being compared to their female counterparts. This ebook will help the skin-conscious man understand the best practices that he has to nurture. These habits are sure to help him obtain that glorious skin tone that would make him the center of attention in every party he attends. On the same note, there are also several habits that every macho man has to stop right now if they want to make sure that they look better than Harrison Ford or Sean Connery when they grow old.

For the regular guy, hiring a stylist is completely out of the equation, but the red carpet look is definitely not.
