While I'm on the subject of Harry Du Bois' bisexuality, I think it's interesting to know that in the course of the game you learn a lot about Harry's taste in men, for all that he seems to be heavily in denial about being queer.
Other than The Smoker on the Balcony and Kim, when he does think about other men, he seems primarily interested in men who are strong and muscular. (He also very much seems to want to be dominated). Here are some examples:
His interest in Man from Hjelmdall books. When he's reading about an orgy at a blood ritual in the forest, in answer to whether he's here for the blood stuff, Half Light chimes in: "No, beautiful naked people fucking in the bushes is what you came for. Sweat, cocks and and titties please!"
He is obsessed with Contact Mike, a big strong boxer
If you hug the Working Class Woman, Harry has the optional thought "It's good, but I'd prefer a man. A solid muscularity would support me better." and then "Muscles, I said muscles! I want manly-manly muscles."
When he reads the pale medicine book, his brain chimes in about being thrashed by a big man with a branch, while lying helpless and naked on a cool slab
If you go down the fash route, it becomes clear through talking to Measurehead that Harry is sexually attracted to him and would be interested in "light bondage" with him. From what I've read about this route, it seems pretty likely that a lot of Harry's bigoted views in this version of the story stem his insecurity about his disabilities, his serious internalized homophobia, and having thoughts about being sexually dominated like he thinks Revacholian women are by "big foreign men in faraway countries who are better at sex than he is".
BONUS: Harry also seems to be sexually attracted towards people he sees as cool.
Harry was so attracted to Guillaume le Million that he modeled his fashion, "champagne cork smile", and some of his personality on him. Unfortunately it was not possible for him to copy Guillaume's "perfect ass".
The Smoker on the Balcony is constantly referred to as mysterious and cool. This twink with an open shirt and a terrible sugar daddy had Harry so entranced. Is he really mysterious, Harry, or are you just very closeted and very lonely, and immediately drawn to the first visibly flamboyant person you saw after you woke up with your mind wiped?
Kim. Just Kim. He is so besotted with him. I could fill paragraphs, but I'm just going to leave it at "How did you get so cool, Kim?" and that moment where he sniffed Kim's neck during the Communism vision quest. The smell of him set Harry's GABA receptors aflutter. Don't you also get a little bit high when you smell your friend's aftershave and the motor oil from when he services his car?

Why are hygiene products for women like "You're gonna need separate body wash, shampoo (but this one is for STRAIGHT HAIR ONLY!!!), conditioner, hair mask (apply after rinsing off shampoo), body lotion (for your gross dry skin), deodorant AND perfume, and then like 10 individual products for the face alone
And then the hygiene products for men are like "11 in 1-hair-body-face-balls-aftershave-deodorant-toothpaste-mouthwash-motor oil-cooking oil-plant fertiliser"

"When he (George) wasn't recording, he would be at the Apple offices, which I knew were full of pretty girls - and George was sexy, good-looking, witty, and famous; an irresistible combination. He had never used aftershave or cologne in the past, but since we had come back from India, he had taken to wearing sandalwood oil, which I imagined was to attract other women. But if I accused him of anything, he would deny it. He made me feel I was being unreasonable, nasty, and suspicious."🌸🌸🌸

Sam and the Series of Disastrous Dates
Sam has watched her new best friend fall in love with the man of her dreams but when will it be her turn? For OC kiss week 2023 we will follow Sam from the Pastimes for a Retired Papa series on some of her dating adventures and see if she will ever meet her dream man.
Original Female Character x Original Male Character
AO3
Day 1 - Dancing 
She plucked at the leotard she was wearing as she prayed for the floor to open and swallow her. A dance class was what she had been told she was attending. Her so-called friend had a lot to answer for. She spared one last glance for the text message that had ruined her evening.
‘Sorry Sammy, a little white lie! It’s Salsa Speed Dating. Can’t wait to hear about Mr Right! X’
A couple of the guys were looking in her direction with what she assumed was a leer. She had thought she was attending a fitness class, hence the now somewhat ridiculous outfit. Looking around at the other women in attendance she felt her stomach churning in embarrassment. Flowy dresses, perfect hair, make up! And there she was in a subtly sweat-stained leotard, she had added a wrap skirt from her little foray into ballet class so that was something, and trainers. No make up obviously and scraped back hair possibly a few days passed needing a wash. She was seconds away from turning and leaving when the host entered, clapping her hands above her head to get everyone's attention.
‘Welcome, welcome!  All of you are here to find love through the passion of salsa!’ Sam cringed to herself, the woman was waving her hands along with her shouting and spoke with a gratingly fake Spanish accent, made worse by the fact salsa dancing didn’t even originate from Spain. ‘You will have a song to learn all you need about your potential partner then we will change. Please get into position in order of your badges and then we will begin!’ She clapped her hands once again, stamping her feet like she was doing the flamenco.
She takes a deep breath, last chance to escape but no, she is here now and she can do this. She looks down at the already peeling sticker stuck to her checking her number, four, and makes her way to the slowly forming line. She looked up and her heart sank. Either the universe had a sense of humour or the organisers had taken one look at them and decided that they were meant for each other.
He was wearing a full ballroom dancer's outfit. The whole thing was made of awful stretchy polyester and although it looked like separate pieces it was, in fact, an all in one. The shirt which was open to far too low on his shaved, and judging by the sheen, oiled chest could only be described as bedazzled. Rows and rows of plastic diamantes fanned out across the shoulders, although the longer Sam looked the more she noticed were missing. The shirt was then sewn into a heavily ruched cummerbund that did nothing to hide his protruding stomach which was also attached to ill fitting flared trousers.
Looking back up at his face she noticed him smirking at her. Oh she hoped he didn’t think she was checking him out. She smiled at him awkwardly in a bid to be polite, she did have to dance with the man for the next five minutes.
‘The person opposite you is your partner for the first dance. Take up your positions and let’s salsa!’ She winced, who thought it was a good idea to give her a microphone. She stepped forward, offering him one hand and placing the other on his shoulder.
‘And what is your name senorita?’ She bit the inside of her cheek in an effort not to cringe his northern accent, not making the term of endearment roll off the tongue. She opened her mouth to reply and almost choked on the taste of his cheap aftershave. She was really regretting not running away when she had the chance.
‘It’s Sam.’ She smiled and hoped it didn’t look as strained as it felt. He didn’t seem to notice.
‘A lovely name for a lovely lady. Every Samantha I have met was a beauty.’ He looked pleased with himself for that comment but she had to repress a shiver of disgust.
‘Uh thanks, but it is Sam.’ She looked down before remembering her manners. She might never want to see him again already but she didn’t want to be rude. ‘What's your name?’
‘I’m Clive so you better remember it for when you tick the yes box later.’ He winked and she managed to choke out something that could be called a laugh.
‘Well I haven't seen your dancing skills yet.’ The music hadn’t started yet, why hadn’t it started yet.
‘Oh you will not be disappointed, I can tell you that for nothing.’ She just nodded once before breaking the unsettling eye contact he was trying to maintain. Finally the first song kicked in and he didn’t hesitate to lead her through the first few steps. He was a surprisingly competent dancer although it didn’t seem like a natural talent, his rhythm being slightly off and his brow furrowed in deep concentration.
‘You aren’t so bad yourself,’ he said after she spun back to him after a series of twirls and spins had kept them apart. Sweat was starting to bead on his upper lip and she wasn’t sure how he was going to last the night. ‘I should have known you would be as good as me.’ She knew he didn’t mean it as an insult but it felt like a jab all the same. ‘You and me are the only ones dressed properly for the occasion.’ She spared a glance for some of the other couples around them wearing normal date attire and tried not to think about how ridiculous they must look.
‘Yeah we are a right pair,’ she laughed along but upon catching his eyes she thought she may have said the wrong thing. There is a glint in his eye she doesn’t like the look of. As the dance progresses he gets too out of breath to carry a conversation so while she doesn’t really appreciate his heavy beer tinged breathing directly in her face at least she is spared that.
As the music reaches a climax he swings her into a dip, her only option to cling onto him to avoid collapsing to the floor. He looks into her eyes in what she assumes is supposed to be a seductive manner but it misses the mark but a lot. His sweaty red face is not doing anything to help him. She breaks the awkward eye contact looking up at the ceiling, waiting for him to let her up but he just keeps staring.
‘I think we would make a great pair Samantha.’ He closes his eyes and moves his face closer.
‘It’s Sam,’ she starts to say before she is silenced by his slippery puckered lips. She freezes not knowing what to do, maybe falling to the floor would have been better. She feels his sweat dripping onto her face as he keeps his lips pressed firmly to hers. The only saving grace is that he doesn’t try to deepen the kiss.
‘It seems the passion of salsa has overtaken one couple already, but don’t make your minds up too quickly! There are many salsa partners to sample tonight!’ She is still in shock as he brings her back upright, overbalancing slightly and clinging to her to steady himself.
‘You won’t be forgetting me in a hurry will you Samantha.’ He has the audacity to wink at her and she can only grimace back as she tries to surreptitiously wipe his sweat off her face.
‘You are quite right about that,’ she says before muttering to herself. ‘But not for the reasons you think.’
‘What was that?’ He asks as he leans towards her to try and catch what she said but she is quite literally saved by the bell signalling the change of partners.
‘Oh look, time to change partners. See ya.’ Then she quite literally runs for it. She grabs her things, managing to slip away in the buzz of the other attendees swapping around, already trying to order a taxi and get as far away from this place as possible. As soon as she has confirmation she switches to her messaging app typing away furiously. Oh god she is going to kill her for this. She really needs new friends!

so apparently this is a Thing for me now (someone help me pls why do I fixate on this, I feel like a weirdo) but I keep accidentally finding out bl characters' fragrances (perfume, aftershave, eau de toilette?? why are there so many different names?? if anyone can explain, I'd be interested) so if you or anyone else can identify the variety of them in Win's bathroom, I'm super curious. Thanks <3
Y'know, I've been curious about this too, Anon! Let's look together.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
• Chanel Coco Noir: A modern ambery fragrance with luminous notes. As a prelude, a vibrant, sophisticated burst dominated by Bergamot sparks the curiosity. Filled with promises, a generous heart gradually reveals the striking sensuality of Rose and the remarkable note of Geranium Rose Leaf. A magnetic trail centred round Patchouli and Tonka Bean keeps the intrigue alive. • Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum: is thus the olfactory interpretation of a moment tinted with a thick blue that unleashes the wildest instincts. In the hour when the wolves come out and the sky is set ablaze, a new magic unfolds. • Replica by the Fireplace: This warm and cozy Eau de Toilette fuses the smoky scent of burning wood with notes of gaiac wood, cashmeran and clove oil. The scent of roasted chestnuts is recreated by a blend of chestnuts notes nd red berries oil. The sweet notes of vanilla reinforce the warm and cozy sensation brought by this perfume. • Chanel Platinuum Égoïste: perfume for men is a fragrance for the extrovert who isn't afraid of making himself known. The fresh and aromatic notes of the composition's energetic fougère-vert accord represent the power and balance of the man with a commanding presence. • Dior Higher Eau de Toilette: This surprising aromatic woody fragrance was created for the modern urban man who lives in the present moment yet incarnates eternal masculinity. Cool and energetic, with notes of pear, citrus and basil, a spicy heart and a musky drydown. • Gucci Guilty: Opens with a lighter, milder, and more modernized aromatic hook of French Lavandin Abrialis and uplifting Lemon Sfumatrice that combine perfectly with the intensity of Juniper. • Dior Sauvage Shower Gel: It cleanses without drying out the skin, leaving it scented with the fresh, woody notes of Sauvage. The 1st step in your Sauvage scented grooming routine. • Jo Malone: but I can't tell what it is • Armani Thé Yulong: This unisex fragrance absorbs all facets and contrasts of tea as black and green tea are brought into subtle contact. The black tea evokes the hazy Yulong Mountains while the green tea and sparkling citrus notes refresh the fragrance and evoke the snow-capped peaks that surround them. The combination results in a smoky, woody, yet fresh and citrusy fragrance.
It's not only an interesting blend of scents, it also seems he mixes types intended for men and women. The one Team picks up is all kind of coded for women in their marketing, so I'm going to assume that's meant to be a hint at his bisexuality. (I'm pretty sure they'll make it clear in a future episode since it's confirmed in the novel and by Sheep on Twitter, but it'd be a cute nod to it by using his cologne/perfume/you're right why are there so many names for this.)
It was fun looking up all the scents! If anyone knows the four I couldn't identify, please let me know and I'll edit the post to include them. :)
EDIT: Thank you so much, @team-win and @jualisc!! Just missing whatever fragrance the Jo Malone one is.

The Ultimate Grooming Guide: Aloe Vera Loofah, Soothing After Shave, and Nourishing Beard Oil
In today's busy world, self-care has become a necessity rather than just a luxury.  Men and women alike are embracing a holistic approach to grooming as well as incorporating natural ingredients and gentle products into their daily routines. Aloe Vera Loofah soaps, soothing aftershave lotions, and nourishing beard oils have become essential components of a modern skincare regimen. Let’s explore the benefits of these products and why they deserve a place in your grooming kit.
Aloe Vera Loofah Soap: A Skincare Essential
What Is Aloe Vera Loofah Soap?
Aloe Vera Loofah Soap is a unique combination of aloe vera gel; known for its soothing properties, and a natural loofah; which offers gentle exfoliation. This dual-action soap not only cleanses but also revitalizes the skin, making it ideal for anyone looking to enhance their skincare routine.
Key Benefits of Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera has long been celebrated for its skin-loving properties. It is a natural moisturizer that soothes irritated skin, promotes healing, and reduces inflammation. Aloe Vera helps to hydrate and nourish the skin without leaving a greasy residue. This makes it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including those with sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Tumblr media
The Power of Natural Exfoliation
The loofah embedded in the soap provides gentle exfoliation, which helps remove dead skin cells and promote the regeneration of new and healthy skin. Regular exfoliation can improve skin texture, unclog pores, and prevent ingrown hairs. This is particularly beneficial for those who suffer from dull skin, clogged pores, or frequent breakouts.
How to Use Aloe Vera Loofah Soap
Incorporating Aloe Vera Loofah soap into your routine is simple. During your shower or bath, gently rub the soap in a circular motion over your skin. This helps to stimulate circulation while exfoliating and nourishing the skin. Regular use can leave your skin feeling soft, refreshed, and glowing.
Soothing After Shave: Calm and Rejuvenate Your Skin
Why You Need a Soothing After Shave
Shaving can be rough on the skin, leading to razor burns, cuts, and irritation. This is where a soothing aftershave steps in to restore balance. A quality aftershave product not only calms irritated skin but also provides essential hydration to prevent dryness.
Key Ingredients in Soothing After Shave
Most soothing aftershaves are formulated with calming agents such as Aqua, Glycerin and D-Limonene. These ingredients work together to reduce redness, soothe irritation, and cool the skin. D-Limonene, the extract of orange, lemon and grapefruit peels, which is known for its antioxidant and healing properties. While Aqua hydrates the skin and Glycerin helps retain moisture. Additional components like Alpha isomethyl ionone, Hydroxycitronellal, and Linalool contribute to a refreshing and pleasant scent, enhancing the overall soothing effect.
Tumblr media
The Importance of Hydration Post-Shave
Aftershave balms that include hydrating ingredients, such as glycerine and D-Limonene, ensure that the skin remains soft and supple after shaving. Hydration is key to preventing the dry, flaky skin that often follows a close shave. The lightweight texture of a soothing aftershave makes it easy to apply without clogging pores or leaving an oily residue.
How to Apply After Shave
After shaving, splash your face with cool water and softly pat it dry. Then, apply a small amount of soothing aftershave balm to your palms and rub them together. Gently press the product into your face and neck, focusing on any areas prone to irritation. You’ll notice an immediate cooling sensation, and over time, your skin will become smoother and healthier with regular use.
Nourishing Beard Oil: A Grooming Essential for Every Beard
Why Beard Oil Matters
For men who sport beards, a nourishing beard oil is an absolute must-have. Beard oil helps to moisturize the beard and the skin underneath at the same time. This prevents itching, flakiness, and dryness, which are common issues for those with facial hair. A high-quality beard oil can also soften the beard, making it more manageable and improving its overall appearance.
Key Ingredients in Nourishing Beard Oils
Most beard oils contain a blend of carrier oils, such as argan oil, jojoba oil, or coconut oil, which are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants. These oils penetrate the hair shaft, providing moisture and protection. They also help to promote healthy beard growth by preventing split ends and breakage.
Tumblr media
The Role of Beard Oil in Beard Grooming
Beard oil can transform a rough, unruly beard into a well-groomed masterpiece. Regular use of beard oil ensures that your beard remains soft, shiny, and free from tangles. It also gives the beard a natural sheen that enhances its overall appearance.
Oils, such as Sunflower Seed Oil, Olive Oil, Sesame Seed Oil, Nigella Sativa Seed Oil, Coconut Oil are essential for a good beard oil.
How to Use Beard Oil
To apply beard oil, start by washing and drying your beard. Take a few drops of oil in the palm of your hand and rub your hands together to distribute it evenly. Massage the oil into your beard, ensuring it reaches the skin beneath. Use a beard comb to spread the oil evenly and shape your beard.  For best results, apply beard oil daily or as needed to keep your beard looking its best.
Conclusion: Elevate Your Grooming Routine
Incorporating Aloe Vera Loofah soap, soothing aftershave, and nourishing beard oil into your grooming routine can make a world of difference. These products work together to cleanse, soothe, and nourish both the skin and facial hair, leaving you looking and feeling your best. Whether you're looking for softer skin, a smoother shave, or a healthier beard, these natural grooming products are the perfect addition to your self-care routine.

Skincare for Men: Simple Tips for Healthy Skin
Skincare isn't just for women—men's skin needs attention, too! Due to thicker and oilier skin, plus the irritation caused by shaving, men benefit from a proper skincare routine to keep their complexion clear and healthy. Here’s a quick guide to help men get started.
Cleanse Daily
Start by washing your face twice a day with a gentle facial cleanser. This removes dirt, oil, and sweat, preventing clogged pores and breakouts. Avoid using bar soap, as it can dry out your skin.
Moisturize
Moisturizing is crucial to keep skin hydrated and balanced. Even if you have oily skin, use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to prevent dryness. Bonus tip: choose a moisturizer with SPF to protect against sun damage.
Exfoliate Twice a Week
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, helping your skin appear smoother and reducing ingrown hairs from shaving. Be sure to use a mild exfoliant twice a week, but don’t overdo it—too much can irritate your skin.
Shave Smart
Shaving can cause irritation, so always use a sharp razor and shaving cream. Follow up with an aftershave balm to soothe your skin.
Wear Sunscreen
Sunscreen isn’t just for summer—apply SPF 30 daily to protect against premature aging and skin cancer.
By following these simple steps, you’ll improve your skin’s health and appearance, giving you a fresher, more confident look. Consistency is key, so stick to your routine for long-lasting results.

Quick and Simple Guide To Improve Men’s Skin Care
Not every man wants or will incorporate a complicated skincare routine. Here is our quick and simple guide for men to improve their skincare routine. Men’s skin is important, and using the right skincare products is crucial to its appearance. However, incorporating a skincare routine can seem impossible if men simply do not know how.
Tumblr media
Men’s Guide to Improve Their Skin Care
A quick and simple men’s skincare routine typically involves a few basic steps to maintain healthy skin. Here is a straightforward routine that covers the essentials:
Cleansing (Morning and Night): Wash your face with a gentle facial cleanser. This helps remove dirt, oil, and impurities from your skin.
Moisturizing (Morning and Night): Apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. This step helps prevent dryness and can also provide a barrier against environmental factors.
Sun Protection (Morning): If you’re going to be outdoors, especially during daylight hours, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Apply it on your face and any exposed skin to protect against harmful UV rays.
Post-Shave Care (After Shaving): If you shave regularly, consider using an alcohol-free aftershave balm to soothe and moisturize your skin after shaving.
Weekly Exfoliation (1–2 Times a Week): Exfoliate your skin once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or chemical exfoliants, such as those containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs).
Remember, consistency is key. Even if time is of the essence, sticking to these basic steps can make a noticeable difference in the skin’s health and appearance. For specific skin concerns, such as acne or aging, men might consider adding targeted products. However, our quick and simple routine guidelines should suffice. Additionally, consider choosing skincare products that are suitable for a particular skin type (normal, oily, dry, or combination) for the best results. If you are unsure about your skin type or any specific products, consulting a men’s skincare specialist or dermatologist can provide personalized recommendations.
FOR MEN Salon and Spa | Men’s Skin Care Services
At FOR MEN Salon | Spa, we use MenScience Androceuticals exclusively because it is designed to address men’s skin needs. Men’s skin requires different considerations and is 25% thicker than women’s. It is also tougher. Additionally, men need skincare that is anti-aging so that they can stay looking competitive in the work world for years to come. Our skincare products offer anti-aging components that keep our client’s skin youthful. FOR MEN Salon and Spa offers two different facials. We offer our basic skin detail, which includes deep cleansing and moisturizing. Our anti-aging skin detail offers additional creams and serums that combat fine lines and wrinkles.
Our skin care services are designed with a purpose. Facials absolutely feel great, but men sometimes need a reason. Most often, skin-related issues cannot be seen with the naked eye. For example, whiteheads need to grow large enough to be seen. During our facials, we see those clogged pores and clear them out while shrinking the pores. Faces are the first impression we give. Don’t let bad skincare get in the way of that job promotion or date.
Text us at 949–450–0150 to learn more about our professional men’s skin care services and the salon.

The Ultimate Guide to Handsome Skincare: Achieving a Radiant Complexion
In a world where first impressions often last, the importance of a well-maintained appearance cannot be overstated. Skincare isn't just a female domain; it's a vital part of grooming for everyone. For men aiming to achieve a polished and confident look, handsome skincare is more than just a routine—it's a lifestyle choice that reflects personal care and attention to detail. Here’s a comprehensive guide to achieving a radiant complexion that can make you look and feel your best.
Understanding Your Skin
Before diving into skincare routines, it's essential to understand the type of skin you have. Men's skin can be different from women's in several ways: it tends to be thicker, oilier, and more prone to acne due to higher levels of testosterone. Identifying whether your skin is oily, dry, combination, or sensitive will help tailor your skincare routine to address specific needs.
Building a Skincare Routine
 Cleansing
The cornerstone of any effective skincare regimen is cleansing. A good facial cleanser removes dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. For oily skin, a foaming or gel-based cleanser can help control excess oil and prevent breakouts. If you have dry skin, opt for a creamy or hydrating cleanser to avoid exacerbating dryness.
 Exfoliating
Exfoliation is crucial for removing dead skin cells that can clog pores and lead to dullness. Aim to exfoliate 2-3 times a week using a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). Regular exfoliation helps to smooth the skin’s surface and promotes a brighter, more even complexion.
 Moisturizing
Moisturizing is not just for women; it's a critical step for all skin types. A good moisturizer helps to hydrate the skin, balance oil production, and create a barrier against environmental damage. Men with oily skin might prefer a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer, while those with dry skin should opt for a richer, more emollient formula.
 Sun Protection
Sun damage is a leading cause of premature aging and can exacerbate skin issues. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every morning is essential, even on cloudy days. Sunscreen protects against harmful UV rays, reducing the risk of sunspots, wrinkles, and skin cancer.
Special Considerations
 Shaving
For many men, shaving is an integral part of their daily routine. To prevent irritation, use a sharp razor and a high-quality shaving cream or gel. Always shave in the direction of hair growth and follow up with an alcohol-free aftershave to soothe and protect the skin.
 Dealing with Acne
Acne isn’t just a teenage issue. Adult men can also experience breakouts due to factors like stress, diet, and hormonal changes. Incorporate products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to target acne and keep pores clear. If acne persists, consulting a dermatologist can provide additional treatment options.
 Anti-Aging
Even if you’re not seeing signs of aging yet, incorporating anti-aging products into your routine can be a proactive measure. Look for ingredients like retinoids, which help to reduce fine lines and improve skin texture, and antioxidants, which protect the skin from environmental damage.
handsome mens skin care is about more than just appearance; it’s a reflection of how you care for yourself. By understanding your skin type and incorporating a consistent routine that includes cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, and sun protection, you can achieve a healthier, more radiant complexion. Remember, the key to great skincare is not only using the right products but also making it a daily habit. With these tips, you’re well on your way to not just looking good but feeling confident and refreshed every day.

Skincare for Men: A Dermatologist’s Guide to Healthy Skin
In recent years, there has been a significant shift in the perception of skincare for men. No longer is skincare considered a solely female domain; men are increasingly recognizing the importance of maintaining healthy skin. As a dermatologist, I have seen a growing number of male patients seeking advice on how to care for their skin effectively. This guide aims to provide a comprehensive overview of skincare tailored specifically for men.
Understanding Male Skin
Men's skin differs from women's in several key ways. On average, men's skin is about 25% thicker due to higher collagen density. This makes male skin more resistant to signs of aging, though it is not immune to wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, men typically have higher sebum production, leading to oilier skin and a greater likelihood of acne and other skin issues.
The Basics of a Skincare Routine
1) Cleansing
Cleansing is the cornerstone of any skincare regimen. For men, it is crucial to use a gentle cleanser that effectively removes dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Look for products labeled as “non-comedogenic” to prevent clogging pores, especially if you have acne-prone skin.
2) Exfoliating
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover and preventing clogged pores. Men’s thicker skin can benefit from regular exfoliation, ideally 2-3 times a week. Use a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) rather than harsh physical scrubs, which can cause microtears in the skin.
4) Moisturizing
Even oily skin needs moisture. Using a daily moisturizer helps maintain the skin’s barrier function, keeping it hydrated and protected against environmental damage. Choose a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer for daytime use, and consider a more nourishing product for nighttime.
5) Sun Protection
Sunscreen is non-negotiable. Daily application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 protects against harmful UVA and UVB rays, which can cause premature aging and increase the risk of skin cancer. Men often neglect this step, but it is essential regardless of weather conditions or time spent outdoors.
Addressing Common Skin Concerns
1) Acne
Due to higher sebum production, men are more prone to acne. Over-the-counter treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid can be effective. For persistent or severe cases, consult a dermatologist for prescription options like topical retinoids or oral medications.
2) Razor Burn and Ingrown Hairs
Shaving can lead to razor burn and ingrown hairs, particularly in men with curly hair. To minimize these issues, use a sharp razor and shave in the direction of hair growth. Incorporating a soothing aftershave lotion with ingredients like aloe vera or witch hazel can also help calm irritated skin.
3) Signs of Aging
While men’s skin ages more slowly, it is not immune to wrinkles and fine lines. Incorporate anti-aging products containing retinoids, peptides, or hyaluronic acid to promote collagen production and maintain skin elasticity. Regular use of these products, along with consistent sun protection, can significantly slow the aging process.
4) Tailoring Skincare to Lifestyle
Men’s skincare routines should also consider lifestyle factors. For those who are physically active, frequent cleansing is necessary to remove sweat and prevent clogged pores. Men who spend a lot of time outdoors should prioritize robust sun protection and possibly more hydrating skincare products to counteract environmental stressors.
5) Consulting a Dermatologist
While over-the-counter products can address many common skin concerns, seeing a dermatologist for personalized advice is invaluable. A dermatologist can provide tailored recommendations based on your specific skin type, concerns, and lifestyle. This professional guidance ensures that your skincare routine is not only effective but also sustainable.
Conclusion
Skincare is an essential aspect of overall health and well-being, and it is encouraging to see more men taking an interest in it. By understanding the unique characteristics of male skin and following a structured skincare routine, men can achieve and maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin. Remember, the key to effective skincare is consistency and choosing the right products for your skin type. For personalized advice and treatment, always consult with a dermatologist.

The Modern Man's Guide to Rejuvenating Skincare: Best Practices & Products
Introduction
In modern times, caring for men's skin has become an undeniable necessity, rivaling the importance of women's skincare traditions. Those days are over when men merely depended on a simple soap and an aftershave lotion. Contemporary times demand a carefully designed skin care regimen for different skin types.
Let's join this discussion where we will focus on the secrets of skincare tailored for men by revealing the ideal skincare routine based on their unique skin characteristics. These simple but effective steps will be foundational for any man who still needs access to a skincare routine.
Understanding The Difference Between Male And Female Skin
Beyond the individuality of male and female skin, the subtle differentiation lies within masculinity. Men's skin also has different types from person to person, and these individual genetic signatures will affect the overall skincare drum. One of the main characteristics of men's skin is that it produces more oil than women's. Also, the men's skin is thicker and less essential than the women's.
Apart from this, facial hair is also a considerable factor. Men are adorned with more hair follicles and androgens, which create a big difference compared to women's skin. Hence, the male skin is more susceptible to produce acne due to their high testosterone levels.
Ideal Skincare Practices And Products For Men
1.     Cleanse
Washing and cleansing the face is the first step in your skincare regimen. It helps to remove the dirt particles and dead skin cells deposited on your skin's upper layer. A purifying skin cleanser, mainly gel-based, is recommended for this purpose. Gentle cleansers with healing and cleansing properties can help to achieve softer skin. Apply a small amount of cleanser to cover your face and use it twice daily for optimal results. You can use Pharmacy- anti-acne cleansing lotion for this purpose.
2.     Exfoliation
Exfoliation is the next crucial step after cleansing. It helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Gel-based scrubs create a matte base to absorb serum and creams effectively. Apply it in a small amount to the face following a circular motion. It will refine the pores and help to achieve a clear and radiant complexion. Rinse off it with warm water. You can try Pharmacy - Anti-acne washing gel for this step.
3.     Toning
This step is required to boost the skin’s water and pH levels ensuring constant hydration of the skin. Choose an alcohol-free natural toner that will tighten the pores and protect the skin from any external environmental damage. Apply the toner from a slight distance and store it in a refrigerator. You can use Leganza toner for this step.
4.     Moisturize And Protect
This is the final step, where you are recommended to use a natural moisturizer to balance the sebum production. The moisturizer will keep the skin nourished and hydrated. An in-built SPF-containing moisturizer is preferred to use. Use Pharmacy’s moisturizer for a better result.
5.     Have A Healthy Diet And Avoid Smoking
Have a healthy diet containing fruits, vegetables, and fats to make your skin look best. Quit smoking to avoid the appearance of wrinkles and other skin problems.
Conclusion
In conclusion,  the discussion will help the men seeking rejuvenated, acne-free skin following a straightforward routine. This includes cleansing, targeted anti-acne treatments, moisturizing, and protecting from harmful sun rays. A healthy diet, proper hydration, and smoking prevention also contribute to a glowing complexion. Rejuvenate your skincare with the products of Novavita. Consult a dermatologist for any severe medical conditions.

Unlocking Radiant Confidence: The Essential Guide to Men's Skin Care
Tumblr media
In the realm of personal grooming and self-care, the importance of skin care transcends gender boundaries. Gone are the days when skincare was solely associated with women. Today, men are increasingly recognizing the significance of a well-maintained complexion and are embracing their own skincare routines. In this article, we will delve into the world of Mens Skin Care, exploring why it's essential and providing valuable tips for achieving healthier and more radiant skin.
Why Men's Skin Care Matters
Before we dive into the specifics of men's skincare, let's understand why it's crucial for men to take care of their skin:
Healthier Skin: A proper skincare routine can help keep common skin issues at bay, such as acne, dryness, and premature aging. Healthy skin not only looks better but also feels better.
Confidence Booster: Clear and well-maintained skin can significantly boost self-confidence. When you feel good about your appearance, it shows in your demeanor and interactions with others.
Aging Gracefully: Men's skin ages too, and a skincare regimen can slow down the signs of aging. It's never too early to start taking preventive measures.
The Basics of Men's Skin Care
Now, let's explore the fundamental steps of a men's skincare routine:
Cleansing: Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and impurities from your skin. Use it morning and night to maintain a clean canvas.
Exfoliating: Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and can prevent ingrown hairs. Use a scrub or exfoliating cleanser 2-3 times a week.
Moisturizing: Regardless of your skin type, moisturizing is essential. It helps lock in moisture, prevents dryness, and maintains a healthy skin barrier.
Sun Protection: Protecting your skin from UV rays is a must. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, especially when spending time outdoors.
Targeted Treatments: If you have specific skin concerns like acne or aging, consider incorporating targeted treatments such as serums or creams into your routine.
Shaving Care: If you shave regularly, invest in high-quality shaving products. A good razor, shaving cream, and aftershave can prevent irritation and ingrown hairs.
Tips for an Effective Men's Skin Care Routine
Here are some additional tips to help you make the most of your skincare regimen:
Know Your Skin Type: Determine whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin. Your products should be tailored to your specific needs.
Consistency is Key: Stick to your skincare routine consistently for the best results. Healthy skin is a long-term commitment.
Use Products Correctly: Read the labels and follow the instructions for each product. Using too much or too little can affect their efficacy.
Stay Hydrated: Drinking enough water is essential for skin health. Hydration starts from within.
Consult a Professional: If you're unsure about your skincare needs or have specific concerns, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.

Being CLEAN-SHAVEN is much cheaper than sporting a beard.
Getting rid of that stupid beard is one of the best ways to beat the inflation, kick it right in the nuts.
It's such a low maintenance formula that it just boggles my mind why don't more people get rid of that garbage hair on their faces.
These are the things you need for a barebones shaving experience.
A shaving brush which costs less than $3 (you can pick one at a discount store for less than $1),
Tumblr media
2) A safety razor is a one-time investment. Shouldn't cost you more than $10 but if you want to splurge, no one is stopping you from enjoying a bit of luxury. Still the average safety razor should last a lifetime, and you could pass it to your adult boys.
Tumblr media
3) And of course, you would need a huge stock of stainless steel blades. I always buy in bulk so a small carton of 25 safety razors (25x5 = 125 blades) by Gillette easily lasts me a year or a year and a half. That's less money than buying an avocado toast and a Faggocino at Starbucks. Hint: I haven't set foot in a Starbucks in over 20 years as their coffee stinks big hairy balls.
If you're manly enough to split the blade with your own hands without bleeding yourself, you can use both sides of each blade 3-4 times each. I have never cut myself using each half of the blade.
I always prefer blades that are platinum coated. Titanium even better. Derby is one of my favorite brands but you could never go wrong with Gillette.
I am not a big fan of disposable razors as I find them a waste of money. You can go for one if you're too chicken to split a blade with your own fingers. Also, if you've never shaven before, disposables are a good start.
Tumblr media
4) An aftershave lotion or balm.
I prefer Paco Rabane. The tingling feeling of a cool aftershave after you just removed all that hairy mess is the best feeling you can enjoy every morning. I also recommend an Old Spice although I'm bored of its soapy aroma, but it's still considered a classic. You can also go with a Proraso, Fulton & Roark, and Brickell.
An aftershave lotion is the most amazing product you can apply to your face after a shower. Unfortunately, you have to be a clean-shaven man (or at least a mustached man) to enjoy it. The most awesome product in the world is completely useless to bearded manginas, children and women.
Tumblr media
Now let's look at the products used by bearded men:
Beard oil: They look like snake oils to me. They're supposed to promote beard growth. Why would I want one? I can grow a fine beard already (God forbid!).
Beard softener creams: Pass! What you really need is a disinfectant to get rid of all those lice and bacteria in your hairy bush.
Beard wax: I could use that to polish my shoes I suppose.
Beard trimmer (electric): I just hate that zzzzz sound. Well, bearded weirdoes, you could use that trimmer to get rid of your entire hairy mess. Every thought of it?
Beard color: of course, who wants to look old with grey hair. You'd never need those expensive dyes if you never had a beard in the first place.
Beard conditioners: now you're taking the piss. Seriously. I don't wish to understand what that conditioner is supposed to do.
Beard styling gels: now that is enough. I don't want to discuss the products used by bearded men anymore. This is a blog for pogonophobia, it's about the intense dislike I have for beards.
Clearly, bearded men waste a lot of time and money on stupid useless products which cost a small fortune. But maybe I don't know any better - I am your friendly neighborhood harmless POGONOPHOBE who dislikes the very sight of beards.
One thing is for sure. Now I know why bearded men are so irresponsible and casual about everything. You cannot expect them to take any task seriously. They spend half their day negotiating that hairy mess on their faces. How can they ever get any work done?
All it takes me is 10 minutes a day to shave properly, 5 minutes if I am really in a hurry.
