Now, of course you have to be careful sometimes. If you find an item listed for 99 cents when it normally retails for $20 or $30, chances are that you aren’t really getting what you want! It’s always a good idea to take a look at the “Reviews and Guides” section located on the left panel of the listing before purchasing. This section will give you tips on how to avoid fake products as well as offer more information about the product you are viewing. In my experience, I have always had very good luck receiving authentic products at a great price.

I decided to share this online shopping opportunity with all of you too! I have officially launched my very own skincare and beauty niche store for you at Sharnell’s Skincare and Beauty Store (or by clicking on the “Shop” button located on the top panel of my blog). There you will find Ebay listings for a wide variety of skincare and beauty products, ranging from everyday skincare items to beauty tools such as extractors and facial steamers. You will also find an array of skincare and beauty brands such as Proactive, Murad, Lancome, Mary Kay and many more! If you don’t find what you are looking for in the listings, simply click on the links to some of my best-loved online skincare and beauty stores. Check it out today and find the best deals on your favorite skincare and beauty products!

Beauty a Go-Go’s:

- Body Massage

- Deep Cleansing Facials and Facial Peels

- Routine Skincare Regimen to include cleansing, exfoliating, toning, moisturizing and under eye treatment.

- Manicures and Pedicures

- Back and Chest (if you can handle it!) Waxing

- Eyebrow Waxing

- Regular style cuts and hair color to cover up grey’s.

Beauty a No-No’s:

- Manicures and Pedicures with clear top coat. I like my man’s nails clean and clipped, but not shiny!

- Shaped Eyebrows. A man’s eyebrows should never be on the verge of becoming thinner than my own!

- Bikini Waxing. A razor should do the trick!

- Makeup of any kind! The only exception is a tinted acne spot treatment.

- Highlighted Hair. I’m a bit on the fence about this one… what do you think?

These beauty treatments are just a few to mention. There are more services offered such as body scrub and wrap treatments. I think these types of beauty treatments are perfectly acceptable for men and I even encourage that they be performed. There is no reason that a man should not care for his skin. He can and does age just as quickly as women do! I also love the idea that men lead a more “manicured” look these days. I still find a little scruff attractive, but as long as it’s in control! What are your thoughts on men and beauty? Are you a man who frequents hair and nail salons or day spas? What are some of your favorite treatments and what are the treatments you steer clear of?

It is not uncommon for a man to have skin that is naturally oilier than a woman’s skin. This is due to the fact that men have both larger sebaceous glands and pores. On the upside, this tendency to have more oil actually helps the skin to stay younger looking by prolonging the onset of wrinkles. For men, the trick to gaining healthy skin is finding a good balance between moisture and exfoliation. Shaving is a form of exfoliation, which is performed on a daily basis for the majority men. But do you also moisturize everyday? Most likely, the answer is no. That is where the imbalance comes into play.

So here’s my simple fix. Zia Natural Skincare is an excellent skincare line with products formulated especially for men. With three easy steps, even the manliest of men can achieve smooth, fresh skin.

1. For the lucky man who has been blessed with acne-free skin, there is Zia Natural Skincare ActiClean Face Scrub, the winner of Men’s Health Grooming Awards for the best face scrub. This natural facial scrub works deep down within the pores to clear out dirt and oil. Old skin cells are then removed to instantly reveal a more clean and smooth texture. If luck is not on your side and acne has taken control of your skin, then Zia Natural Skincare HydraClean Face Wash is the cleanser for you. This is a fragrance-free, gel-foaming face wash that too removes dirt and oil, while also soothing and hydrating the skin.
2. Zia Natural Skincare ActiShield Shave Gel, which is great for all skin types, uses botanical extracts and non-comodegenic essential oils to prevent razor bumps and breakouts. The skin is left feeling super cool and refreshed.
3. The final step is keeping your skin hydrated with the Zia Natural Skincare Dual-Action Face Lotion. When used immediately after shaving, this oil-free moisturizer will help to calm the skin. It is the perfect shield in the fight against aging and environmental damage.

So that’s it! A good cleanse of the skin before shaving with an all-natural shave gel, some moisturizer to seal the deal, and you’re done. Healthy skin on a man is a BIG DEAL! Not only will you see and feel a difference in your skin, but the ladies will too!
