Can I Get a Yay-Men?!

Until recently, the beauty industry has been a woman’s world. Today, however, our world has expanded to make room for the rapidly emerging men’s market. Companies have taken note of this development and created various products catering to the opposite sex. As a result, we ladies must learn to share counter space. But before you fear the consolidation of your vanity area, think of how it can be beneficial to you. Just because the goods are marketed towards men does not mean they are unsuitable for women. So encourage the use of the following products, for his benefit AND yours!

Barc Bump Down Razor Bump Relief- It is formulated for “men of color,” but I have used it on men of varying shades including a former “Newlywed,” and network news anchor. In keeping with the theme of this tip, I also use it on myself, a woman with fair to medium skin tones. It is the best post-wax lotion I have found because its effect is strong enough for a man, but will not leave you smelling like one. (Available online at www.getbarc.com)

Fresh Umbrian Clay Treatment Purifying Mask- Men love the manly presentation of this tube. You can appreciate what is inside. It reduces oil and breakouts and even the sting of insect bites. If you feel that annoying blemish surface, dab a little of this grayish-green paste to stop it in its tracks. This multipurpose Italian clay is pure and simple. Perfetto!
