The sun rises and I am receiving an offer for "an exceptional gift" called "New Day"
A sign ? "brightness, regeneration ... in 7 days, a new skin."
Maybe what I need for my skin wrinkled by nights at myLot ?
Can a man use cosmetics for his skin or do you like manly wrinkles ?

i do believe there is nothing wrong on men using cosmetics as long as it make them look and feel better for themselves. for me its not an indication that a man is gay if he use those stuff as long as you know it does not look like he use it to make him look more a girl..you know what i mean=))..for me i find men using cosmetics for themselves to improve their looks are cool honestly...

Well well!!! cosmetics huhuh! what happened? why did you age so suddenly?? And you mean to say the wrinkles are bothering you that much!! I don't know some people really nice in wrinkles! You know aging very handsomely so not all wrinkles are bad and if your very much concerned why not go for botox or collagen!! They are way better than anti-aging creams and lotions!!
AS for men using cosmetics, welcome to age when metrosexual men are all the rage!!

Well I think Botox would be an absolute no, no for me. It involves injections; this sounds quite an obsessive length to go to, to remain handsome/ beautiful. Plus it involves testing in cruel conditions on animals - a definite NO, NO.

@dreamhealer: I don't know exactly as botox works, and don't understand the "testing in cruel conditions on animals" . I thought that the only animal involved today was the human being paying to be "botoxized" ?

Yeah being invited to a 12 year old's birthday would force you to age!! I feel honored to be a cause to some effect!! especially an effect that is far reaching and can't be erased!! And what does living all alone have to do with this? I person can want to look nice and young for their own sake!! Why does it have to be for someone and not ones' own self!!!
If the 12 year old is inviting You then you are clearly not as ancient as you think!!
@dreamhealer: i don't know about cruel conditions in animals!! last i read it was toxin derived from the animal species which relaxes muscles thus beautiful face sans wrinkle!! Hell they are even asking for botox injections for their pets looking young!!! How "metrocruel" is that!!!

Hiya topffer,
Good name for a Skin Cream for Men. Also you can notice the difference in 7 Days well perhaps you can.
I think a Man can use Creams for his Skin why not? He needs help with his Skin as much as what us Girls do as well. I don´t mind Wrinkles either but if the Person is suffering with their Skin or they don´t like the way it looks then why not try something?.
Drinking plenty of Water and avoiding too much central Heating helps too though. If not Creams can be a great thing for us all.

Hiya topffer,
Its good to have a Cream though just for general use to protect the skin on the Face too as the Sun is very strong and will be much stronger later on.
Myself I use a very basic one that does equally as good as the very expensive ones.
It´s finding the right one to suit you as well. Even if you have dry skin for example you might be plagued with oily skin around the Nose and on the Forehead.
Funny World and mixture of People we have. So all basic Creams I think that if they have jojoba oil and vitamin E are very good for most and they don´t cost the Earth.
You have your Glass of Water the Central Heating is very good to keep us warm but it sends our Skin haywire sometimes. Have a great Day tops.xxx

Hello lovinangelsinstead21,
The name is good, and maybe the product is good too but it is expensive : a very small box costs $50. At this price it is better to use it when you are still young .
I am not really suffering with my wrinkles : with the age you can't stop them, but trying to limit the damages is human ? We have not much sun here. Weather was good two or three days ago and it is freezing again ; I keep my central heating . But I am going to drink a glass of water now to begin this new cure . Thank you for your kind advice !

Hi Topffer,
I believe the right advice should come from your partner what she likes
But yes, if you are single and you take your decisions, you always can use them if you want to have good skin but I doubt if the wrinkles would still go away...Not yet reached that age

i prefer a man without cosmetic. i like it with his original skin. it is more sexy for me. wrinkles is normal for everybody not only a man but also a women. if the human being is old, they cannot remove wrinkles from their face. it is the sign of the old age.

It is always the same problem : every nice woman finding that I am sexy is already married .
Your husband will not see that you have wrinkles, emine08. An old couple does see these details . And if he does, give me a sign : I will be very old and full of wrinkles, you will enjoy this

I don't use any kind of anti aging (wrinkle) cosmetics but I do admittingly use moisturiser daily. I also use a 'face scrub' to clean our the pours on your face to stop any blackheads from arising. Some mock me for it but hey I can't help it I want to keep my face looking decent and not covered by spots or whatever.

People are odd that way really, they dont understand some things that they dont do. I've heard though that if you do use the likes of anti aging agents you should actually change them every so often. Something to do with an ingredient in them or something, just dont quote me on that.

Of course man can use cosmetics. Now a days so many cosmetic company produce cosmetics for them. I think man should also take care there skin. Not for others but for there own self. So in my opinion Man can use cosmetics and they should use it.
Have a good time!

I do not see a problem with a man taking care of his skin, however my man better not hog the bathroom mirror rejuvenating his skin for hours on end.
I don't see any problem with a man trying to improve the appearance of his skin especially if it helps, but there has to be a line somewhere in other wards he cannot be obsessed with the natural response of life.
We need to learn how to grow old gracefully.

If your man does this, it is not a cause of divorce, because I see two solutions : you can have two bathrooms or two mirrors .
"He cannot be obsessed with the natural response of life". I would like to write English like this ! I am writing like a snail, because I have to find my words, and it gives me more wrinkles. One night at myLot is terrible !
I am no more obsessed : you can read in another box the response of a woman finding wrinkles sexy, so "the natural response of life" is good for me.
Thank you for your graceful response hardworkinggurl !

Absolutely that is why I commented that we need to learn how to grow old gracefully. In other words accept that we have live and now we are who we
are.

There are a lot of skin cosmetics nowadays for men and I think it's good! My grandfather who is already 93 years old still put cosmetics on his skin to feel good and look younger. He has moisturizers, anit-wrinkle creams, etc.
I think there is nothing wrong with man being vain sometimes. Just don't over do it!

I am not sure that I would like to live until 93 years, but if I live until this age, I definitely want to be like your grandfather. He is really great : I hope that he will continue feel and look young at least for the next thirty years ! I am speechless with admiration.
I was thinking that there was an age where you have to stop to be vain. Advices vary a lot in this discussion : thank you for this one.

I'm not using any cosmetics at this moment but I was saving money so I can afford a lifetime supply of Stemcell treatments so ic an live longer and keep my self young. I am alos taking some pills that promises to make my skin stay the way it is since I'm to lazy when it comes to applying stuff on my skin. So I chose pills with anti-oxidants. Maybe I will try facial treatments from skin clinics but I'm afraid of acne pricking.

I don't know exactly how stem cells are working to fight aging ? Maybe you should start a discussion about that, if you have not already done ?
Anti-oxidants pills are not only anti-aging pills but anti-cancer pills. You can get the same result if you eat fruits and vegetables. There is an health campaign here "Eat 5 fruits or vegetables daily". I read that you need two pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables, and I don't eat that every day, so the pills are a good idea.
You are not using cosmetics, Albert, but it looks like you have investigated many medical methods to stop aging ! I don't think that we will see a true anti-aging solution. Imagine a world like that : first you would have to sterilize everybody to stop the population growth, second, at 25, you would be probably stuck in your career, except if you could get an authorization to be 40, but don't dream, they will not give it to you like that, etc. That would be the hell on earth...

In my own opinion, men can use cosmetics just to preserve its beauty. Nowadays, having a good facial look is very important, especially when looking for a job.
Many employers were choosing male applicants who has a fair and smooth skin, in short, those who has Good Appearance.
Another thing is, cosmetics are also used to preserve good and proper hygiene.
