So Much More Than Just a “Shave and a Haircut”
by Susie Galvez
Now more than ever, men are interested in taking better care of their skin. Today’s men are increasingly aware of and concerned about the health and appearance of their skin. Until recently, for many men, their skin care regimen consisted of shaving their face, splashing on a sometimes “aggressive” aftershave each morning and grooming their hair—period. No longer are just a shave, slap of aftershave and a haircut going to suffice, as today’s men need and want to look their very best each and every day.
Men have some naturally built-in skin advantages, as their skin is approximately 20% thicker than a woman’s, and it is typically firmer because it is richer in collagen and elastin. Also, men’s skin has more active sebaceous glands and tends to be much oilier. But even with all the help Mother Nature provides, masculine skin needs to be cleansed, treated and moisturized too!
The Mannatech LIFTTM skin care system is a great way to keep skin looking healthy and vibrant. With the three easy steps and five multi-tasking products, men will love the simplicity, and, of course, the wonderful results!
In the morning:
Step 1: Cleanse. Using the Exfoliating Facial Cleanser in the morning before shaving will help gently remove overnight oils and debris from the skin, allowing for a cleaner, closer shave.
Step 2: Treat. The Multiphase Serum is the perfect solution to use after shaving, as it helps tone, tighten and firm the skin.
Step 3: Moisturize. Three pumps of the Day Moisturizer to the face, neck and around the eyes will help protect the skin and keep it hydrated all day.
In the evening:
Step 1: Cleanse. The Exfoliating Facial Cleanser gently removes excess oil and environmental debris from the skin, leaving it clean and fresh.
Step 2: Treat & Moisturize. The Night Repair Crème combines both steps in one easy product. Apply on face, neck and around the eyes to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is an exceptional beauty-sleep formula for fellas.
Anytime:
Using the Body Lotion is a great way to help keep the skin hydrated anytime—day or night.
With such a simple, easy and effective way to keep the skin cleansed, treated and moisturized-what’s not to love?!? After all, men deserve to look their very best too!

Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, and Propylparaben ~ Are these the names of Cinderella’s evil step-sisters?
by Susie Galvez
No, but they are just as bad! They represent just some of the many parabens that are found in many beauty and personal care products on the market today. Surprised? You are not alone. Until recently, information about chemicals, fillers, and synthetic compounds has been hard to find, if not impossible.
Parabens are inexpensive preservatives used to give products a longer shelf life – some as long as a decade! Unfortunately, while giving products a longer selling cycle, parabens can be the cause many negative problems, including skin irritation.
Knowing this, why are so many beauty and personal care product companies still using them? The quick answer is that they are cheap to make, cheap to use, and will allow the products to remain on the shelf for many, many, many years.
Honestly, would you even want to use a product that could have shelf life of double digit years? Science and nature must work together in harmony. We deserve to use products that are safe, effective and will improve our skin – without the worry of dangerous side effects.
Enjoy your beauty naturally!
