Attention Gentlemen

I'd like to take a moment to address a disturbing trend I've been noticing among the men of Chicago.  Maybe I was disillusioned during my years living in LaLaLand, but...GENTLEMEN... it's time to take a long hard look in the mirror, and ask yourself if you're REALLY taking care of... YOUR.. FACE.

Ok, maybe this is an exaggeration.

I'm been taken aback numerous times in the past 2 years, when someone I meet, whom I gauge to be my age or older, is actually at least 5 years younger me!  Now, I know I have some oily skin that ages somewhat slower than others (thanks, Proactiv!), but it's high time for men to take responsibility for their skin.

But not this guy, because he's adorable!

I'm not saying we have to go Botox and Juvederm crazy, as a little natural aging is much more attractive than plastic surgical "perfection." I for one would much rather be Brad Pitt than Jocelyn Wildenstein.  But by pampering your skin, just a little bit, you can be the best, most youthful version of yourself.  Here are some products I like:

Strivectin: It's a little on the expensive side, but it works wonders! Look for it at Nordstrom Rack for a deal!

Moisturizer: I alternate between Kiehl's, Trader Joe's, and Proactiv; there is one for every skin type. TWICE A DAY!!!

BB Cream: I love Garnier Oil-Free BB Cream, which goes on after your moisturizer during the day for additional vitamins and moisturizing, a mattifying and smoothing effect, and a tiny hint of color.

There you go, that's all you need, now get out there and start making yourself pretty-you'll thank me one day, hopefully. Oh, and here's Brad Pitt, aging gracefully:

And here is Jocelyn Wildenstein, who..... is not:

 Bye!
