Reduce Redness with Green Tea

Fight spots with Kidney Beans

Introduce a three to four ounce portion of kidney beans into your weekly diet and you’ll nicely keep those zinc levels topped up. Perfect, if you’re planning a big Saturday night. Zinc and kidney beans are also renowned in the world of skin care for men for their healing properties and therefore create dramatic improvements in the condition of acne. For those lingering spots, most of us choose a concealer for men to also help in eliminating their appearance. These two products hand-in-hand will give you the ultimate bathroom boost needed for healthier looking skin.

Keep Fine Lines in Check with Peppers

Fight eye wrinkles with Yellow and Green peppers. For men who are continually fighting eye fatigue, there are also a great range of men’s skincare products out there. Eye creams, roll-on’s or even serums will help you fight wrinkles. However, don’t go to all that expense without adding a cup or two of peppers into the mix each day. Yellow and Green peppers significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines around men’s eyes and when coupled with such a skin care product, it really is win win when it’s time to roll back the years. Remember, all vegetables are great in giving you younger looking skin. So, don’t ignore the lady in your life when she reminds you about keeping up with your five-a-day.

De-stress with Yogurt

Many men heading towards the big 40 or beyond will no doubt be starting to face the fines of their younger and more exuberant youth. However, when it comes to rolling back the clock, this time, for general facial wrinkles, it’s good to have a good inbound of proteins into your body. More proteins create much firmer skin and for this, a pot of yogurt in the morning will hit the nail on the preverbal head. For an even smoother finish, choose a Greek style yogurt which contains as much as double the protein as a regular one. When it comes to skin care, an anti-wrinkle moisturiser does just the trick when you’re faced with the daily grooming conundrum of fine lines, stress and wrinkles.

Protect and moisturise with Pomegranates

Good protection and moisturisation at this time of year, more than most, is crucial fellas. Combine a luxury men’s moisturiser with pomegranate, or have them blended into a juice and drink twice daily for the very best results. Enriched with polyphenols, regulate your skin’s blood flow and protect it against the inbound of toxins, impurities and environmental debris which could leave you feeling the pinch of a harsh winter come spring.
