LOOK RESTED, EVEN IF YOU AREN'T
The skin under your eye is the thinnest skin on your body, and it is also the only skin on your body that cannot moisturize itself. Normal facial moisturizers won’t do much for puffy, dark eyes and they may even cause further irritation.
Problem? Not if you keep it maintained. Eye-specific creams and treatments help combat unsightly under-eyes. They generally include anti-inflammatories that reduce puffiness. Many also have anit-aging technology to reduce lines, smooth out fine lines, and even brighten the skin’s texture. Technique is key here. It is imperative to use a light touch to apply product under the eye. This skin is extremely thin and lacks elasticity, so it’s easily stretched, which can add to the problem. It may seem awkward at first, but apply the product with either your ring or pinky finger. Start on the outer corner of the eye and lightly apply the product moving toward the inner eye to achieve rested results.
DEEPER CLEAN, BETTER SKIN.
If you’re debating the difference between a “scrub” or an “exfoliator” – don’t. They’re the same thing. Both contain different types of micro-granules or finely ground plant materials to remove dead skin and deep-down impurities. They make your skin look and feel smoother by revealing healthy, new skin cells.
There are different scrubs available for different uses. Some are specifically designed for use on the whole body, while others are solely for your face or body. Facial scrubs

are built for the sensitive skin on your face. They are a great Pre-Shave tool because they remove dead skin cells and also lift the whiskers from the hair follicle for a closer shave, reducing the chance of in-grown hairs.
Body scrubs, however, tend to have more exfoliating action than facial scrubs and should not be used on the face, unless formulated for both face and body.
FACIAL CLEANSER FOR EVERY MAN
Almost all face cleansers are formulated according to skin type. Dry, sensitive, oily and normal are basic skin types. The label or product description will tell you what skin type the cleanser is made for. Some face cleansers are even designed for All Skin Types, which may be your best bet if you can’t decide your skin type.
STAY YOUNGER LOOKING, LONGER
Anti-aging skin care is one of the fastest growing areas in the industry. As we age, our skin loses essential vitamins and anti-oxidants that can now be replaced with natural ingredients yielded from recent technology and research. Phytomer Homme offers excellent anti-aging products like Age Maitrisse and Facial Protect. Phytomer uses Energizing Marine Concentrate, a highly concentrated algae extract that is a powerful anti-oxidant. This technology increases the production of energy in skin cells to stimulate vital functions: renewal, protein synthesis and anti-oxidant power.
