Who says men cant use makeup and other beauty products marketed toward women?
Trust me, the only thing people will notice is how good you look.
Exfoliating Scrubs
Nothing looks worse than a bunch of crusty, flaky skin on your face.
No, dont pick at it.
And dont drench your skin in lotion hoping it will make it go away.
That skin is dead and needs to be removed!
Exfoliating scrubs will do the trick so your moisturizers will actually do something.
A good scrub also gives your skin a nice glow to counteract any dullness in your skin tone.
I tried two exfoliating scrubs, both primarily made with natural ingredients.
For my lips, I went withBites Agave Sugar Lip Scrub.
Theyre both pretty similar, so you could probably get away with having just one really good exfoliating scrub.
Wash your face, use the scrub, wash it off.
Facial Moisturizer and Lip Balm
Dudes, moisturize your face.
This magical liquid smoothes out your skin and reduces shininess by giving your skin a matte finish.
It also reduces the appearance of pores if they tend to draw too much attention.
I went withSmashboxs super popular Photo Finish Foundation Primerand it works pretty great.
Apply to your T-zone and anywhere else that needs a little evening out.
The downside is that it can be the most visible of the products here if youre not careful.
Over-powdering will make it apparent that youre wearing makeup, especially if you have facial hair.
I gave RihannasFenty Beauty Invisimatte Blotting Powdera go and it was fine and light.
Could barely tell Id put any on.
Color Corrector
I first learned about the magic of color corrector on Netflixs new version ofQueer Eye.
Talk to someone at a makeup store if youre not sure what your skin tones are.
Concealer
Concealer is the most makeup-y item on this list.
The hard part is identifying your skin tone to a specific brands coloring options.
It did a bang up job of hiding one of my blemishes.
You just apply a tiny bit, then use your finger to gently blend.
