Nowadays more and more men care about their skin as the inclination towards metro-sexuality takes a firm grip. Take metro-sexual shaving habits, a self-respecting metro-sexual will choose products like Edwin Jagger shaving sets which come complete with natural creams with healing and rejuvenating properties. The bowls and brushes are handmade with imitation ivory or ebony so that the metro-sexual comes complete with his social conscience intact.
This is great from lots of angles; healthy, glowing skin normally means a body that has been taken care of and for us girls kissing a guy who feels and smells good is a far more pleasant experience than how it used to be with "real men" who sometimes didn't smell great and gave you the wonderful gift of beard rash!
The knowledgeable metro-sexual knows about the likes of Aloe Vera and other natural ingredients with healing benefits. Some even have an appreciation for sandalwood and the really dedicated metro-sexual may know about sea buckthorn.
For those budding metro-sexuals, girl friends, wives and boyfriends out there, sea-buckthorn is like a super-duper cocktail of beneficial components that can normally only be found separately. It has a high content of vitamin C, E and carotenoids and suits all different skin types. It is considered to have curative properties.
Sea-buckthorn has had a low profile in Europe and America whereas in China, Tibet and Russia it plays a popular part in home-made ointments for skin irritations, minor cuts and sunburns. As part of a shaving routine it has a rather fruity yet understated fragrance.
Sandalwood has a long history in India and has been regarded as a wonderful anti aging treatment which gives an added radiance as well as preventing wrinkles in facial skin. In Ayurvedic medicine (ancient traditional medicine from India) it is highly regarded as a medicinal herb. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. Sandalwood has a sensual woody fragrance and is ideal for normal to dry skin types.
Out of these three natural ingredients probably the best known these days is Aloe Vera. I have extremely sensitive skin and keep it balanced by using a quality Aloe Vera cream. It contains almost twenty amino acids, minerals like calcium, magnesium and sodium as well as enzymes, vitamins, polysaccharides, nitrogen and other components that make it close to miraculous.
The interior gel from Aloe Vera was found to increase production of human fibroblast cells six to eight times faster than normal cell reproduction; it was discovered in studies conducted by Dr. Ivan E. Danhof, M.D., Ph.D., who is the president of North Texas Research Laboratories and a retired Professor of Physiology from the University of Texas. For many years, holistic beauty specialists have known that Aloe Vera has the unique ability to stimulate cell renewal, but it was only recently that we figured out how.
With a choice of these three high beneficial natural ingredients, any self-respecting metro-sexual can feel confident about his shaving routine, whilst any partner can look forward to the results! Combined with eating healthily, exercise and drinking plenty of water this is the sure way to perfect male skin.
