Aww man, wish I had my book 'Bad Science' handy to quote something. Think I lent it out. Awesome book, a chapter on anti-wrinkle cream and beauty products was very reveiling. Basically, its all the same stuff but for sickening prices. AntiAge cream is just protiens that, when dries, contracts on your skin. It then washes off.

Btw, I wash my face right after I shave with soap, n then splash with cold water. Think it helps close your pours(pores*?)!
 
Wow, fellas...thanks for reassuring me my hubby will most likely never use any of the facial care products I buy for him-ever! lol good to know it's all normal man stuffs! :lol:

i read something a while back about anti wrinkle cream and that all it does is cause inflammation under the skin which makes the wrinkles look like they're gone.

many hand soaps would dry out your facial skin, you could use ones with moisturiser in, like Lux or Dove.

actually its interesting that you mention that. Before the 80s (or around then) there used to be an ingredient in many creams that did that. It inflamed the skin and actually burnt it slightly. The Ingredient was then banned and creams are no longer allowed to contain the inflamatory substance, even though it actually worked a bit. Arg, wish I had my book handy.
