Anonymous asked: Male beauty question of sorts. Is there any reason why a daily moisturiser like Olay (the normal one) is not good for a guy to use? Male specific products get marketed heaps nowdays but what is the difference really?

Answer:

Great question. Skin is skin. Men don’t have hugely different skincare requirements from women other than the need to shave. Ignore marketing and packaging. Any skincare product is suitable for a guy to use; just opt for something fragrance-free that won’t irritate the skin. A lot of men’s skincare is over perfumed which is problematic for skin. The Olay Regenerist range is pretty amazing, full of antioxidants and gentle moisturisers. The serum would be a nice lightweight moisturiser for a man, with great anti-ageing benefits (which we all need, regardless of age or gender). Also I love the Olay foaming cleanser for Dry/Sensitive skin (ignore that bit). Really effective gentle cleansing that would suit almost any skin type.
