Being a woman who can't get into the bathroom is a sign of changing times, and I don't mean just because he's reading the newspaper on the toilet!



Mens grooming tips are in and the sloppy, uncared for look is out.

Men in the know are now taking care of their skin. Especially for men who have sensitive skin which reacts to frequent shaving, this is a positive thing.

There's more and more mens magazines, and the market for mens skincare products continues to grow.

Tips to Maintain Healthy Male Skin

Drinking loads of beer is not the way to go if you want to maintain healthy skin.

Replace the beer with water for hydrated skin; try to drink at least six glasses of water a day. It's not to say that beer is completely out, but more like balance is in.

Exercise is also in. As apart from the old fashioned benefits of looking more masculine and muscular, exercise improves circulation and blood flow, which makes your skin look and feel younger.

And the old saying of ?You are what you eat? actually happens to be true - so a bit less of the burger and chips, and a bit more of anti-oxidant foods such as broccoli, spinach and fruit.

These will help stimulate your cell oil production promoting healthier, younger looking skin.

There are men also discovering that there are other types of fish apart from what you can buy in the local fish and chip shop.

Try grilled salmon, which I think is delicious and has natural fats which will soften cells that have become hard.

What about a really good skin care range?

Try the I Coloniali mens skin treatments by J & E Atkinsons. This range is packed full of wonderful, natural ingredients put together specifically with mens skin in mind.

Shaving over time gradually eliminates the hydrolipidic film that protects the skin. This range has created the I Coloniali Delicate Shaving Cream which contains calmiskin phytoagent which has calming and anti-irritation properties.

It also has white willow bark extract which is an Asian plant with regenerating and softening properties.

After shaving you can try the Hydro Repairing Aftershave, which contains the same ingredients with some extra natural moisturising active ingredients.

Want to treat yourself to anti wrinkle firming cream? There's no escaping the fact that as time passes male skin loses its elasticity. This contains the white willow bark extract also with added natural anti-wrinkle active ingredients.

You're realising that the chicks no longer consider sweat to be attractive?

Another part of the I Coloniali range for men is a long lasting alcohol free deodorant which regulates perspiration without blocking it. Mango is one of the most ancient fruits of India and mango oil has been used in beauty creams for hundreds and thousands of years. Mango oil has emollient and protective properties, and I Coloniali has created a Facial and Shaving Balm of Mango Kernel oil, which when applied before shaving helps give a smoother shave and prevents irritations.

So join the gang of evolving modern men who care about their skin and grooming, and see the reaction you get from her indoors.
