Hi everyone. As of May 21 2011 I turned 21 and I had lots of fun with my family.But I noticed something that concerned me very much.. I noticed my face skin looked very dry and pale, I also noticed some wrinkles on the sides of my nose. To make it clear I noticed my skin was a bit aged. Can anyone provide me skin care products for men and tips aswell. Is there a specific way to wash my face and How often? Please if you need any more details just ask and I will try to be more specific thank you.

Wash your face morning and night with a good facial cleanser. Look for one that says for dry skin. Also make sure you are drinking plenty of water. Most wrinkles come from skin that is dehydrated. You can also use a facial moisturizer for the day time.

Hi Shar19 I do tend to wash my face in the morning but I wash it with regular face and body wash soap. Is that helping clean my skin at all? Oh and by the way after I finish washing my face with that, I then apply a little face lotion. What do you think should I buy a product specifically for the face only? If so Could you recommend me a good product? thank you for your response :)

Make sure you're not using a bar soap. That will dry out your skin. Use a good face wash like Olay, Dove or Clean N Clear foaming face wash. For moisturizers I like the face serums better than the lotions. They absorb better into the skin. I really like Olay Regenerist, Neutrogena, or L'Oreal serums. Also you can look for ones that are just for the night time which will give your skin an extra boost of moisture while you sleep.

I have the same problem with my face, but I've always been pale and I'm not going to try to change it. To fix the dryness, you need to get a moisturizer (I would look for something that has green tea in it). There's also this drink you can make a few times a week that will help you with all of your skin. What you do is you boil enough water to fill a good sized coffee mug and then you put two to four table spoons of local honey into, stir it in, and then you get a fresh lemon and cut two slice and squeeze some juice into the mug, then put the slices in the mug. Lemon and honey are great for the skin and you need to make sure you drink plenty of water and stay away from highly caffeinated beverages (ie energy drinks). Try eating healthier if possible. Try to eat fruits and veggies, along with complex carbs and proteins. Try to stay away from the processed foods!
