“There are more options for men today than there ever have been,” says San Diego-based dermatologist Jeffrey Benabio, MD.Plus, you can make a big change with a fairly small impact on your budget.
If you’re not ready for a trip to the salon, you can do it at home. Millions of men are, says David E. Bank, MD, a dermatologist in Mount Kisco, N.Y.
Skip the dye most women use. It bleaches all your hair first and then adds color.
Choose a product for men. Look for one that says it covers gray. That means it adds only an extra tint to those strands. Your darker hairs won’t pick up any color at all. And it washes out over time.
Use a gray-only color for your beard, too. “Beard hair tends not to be one solid color,” Benabio says. Having a beard that's all one shade would stand out.
Your skin gets drier with age. That's one reason all those wrinkles you didn’t have before suddenly show up. But you may already be using a product that can help. And if you're not? Start today.
“Everybody should be using sunscreen,” Bank says. Not only will it cut your skin cancer risk, it can help hold off those lines that let everyone know you're no spring chicken anymore.
Again, look for products made for men. Find one that combines SPF 30 or higher sunscreen with moisturizer.
About those wrinkles? Take a cue from the ladies. Try a night cream with a product called retinol, which comes from vitamin A. Doctors prescribe the heavy-duty ones, but you can find a zillion of them on the drugstore shelves. If you haven't spent a lot of time in the cosmetic section of the pharmacy or supermarket lately, you'll find they make products like this for men, too.
What does it do? Retinol zaps those fine lines that make a road map out of your face. It also lightens dark spots, keeps your skin supple, and gives you a healthy glow, says Marc Glashofer, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in West Orange, N.J.
