Every Man Jack Face Lotion Sun Protection Ingredients List

Overall Rating: ★★★★★
Price: $ (under $10)
Scent: Fragrance free.
I liked: the price.  For $6 you get an effective light weight lotion with sun protection. Not too greasy. Paraben free, cruelty free, no sulfates, no unnecessary dyes.
I didn’t like: nothing.

It’s difficult to find flaws in Every Man Jack’s Face Lotion with Sun Protection.  This is a great gateway moisturizer for men who aren’t experienced in skincare.  At a mere $6 for a 3.2 ounce tube this face lotion with a sun protection factor of 15 is an exceptional value.  Guys with sensitive skin will appreciate how light the lotion is as well as the lack of synthetic fragrances which can cause irritation.  This moisturizer is sans paraben, sulfate,dye, and cruelty – so you can feel confident using it without having to worry about long-term health effects.  You can find Every Man Jack products at all Target stores and online at Walgreens.com and Drugstore.com.  You now have no excuse for not moisturizing and protecting your face.

Parabens in Skincare: Increasing Your Odds of Getting Cancer

The Toxic Avenger Caulfields Counter Paraben

Are your skincare products increasing your chances of getting cancer?  Let me be more specific – do your products have parabens in them?  Parabens are a family of chemicals mainly used as preservatives in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.  These low-cost, effective preservatives are commonly found in moisturizers, shampoos, conditioners, shave creams, and many other body care products.

Typical parabens to look out for include:

Seriously, watch out for these ingredients in the products you currently own and intend to purchase.  I want all of you to live longer, healthier, more productive lives – which is why I am posting this.  Considering that up to 60% of what you put on your skin enters your bloodstream, using products with parabens in them is no joke.  One application may not make a huge difference, but over an extended period the effects are potentially harmful.  The next time you’re in the shower, take a look at the ingredients of your body wash and shampoo to see if they contain parabens.  There’s a good chance they do.

Rare and Precious Goo: Aveda Men After-Shave Balm

Aveda Men After-Shave Balm

Aveda Men After-Shave Balm

I now only have about an ounce left of the rare and precious Aveda Men After-Shave Balm.  Aveda mysteriously discontinued this hugely popular item just over a year ago (WHY?!!!) and I’ve rationed its use since.  This magical liquid is light, soothing, and versatile – it works well on all skin types.  The scent is subtle yet memorable – a delightful blend of lavender, chamomile, and citrus.  The balm is particularly effective at treating razor burns and other shaving-related skin irritations.  If you’re somehow able to come across this stuff, buy it.  At the very least, you can sell it for double on eBay to a nostalgic men’s skincare fanatic like myself.  Now if only I can find that original bottle of New West from the 90s…

Product Review: Ahava Soothing After-Shave Moisturizer for Men

Ahava Soothing Aftershave Moisturizer for Men

Ahava Soothing Aftershave Moisturizer for Men

Ahava Soothing After-Shave Moisturizer (Texture)

Overall Rating: ★★★☆☆
Price: $$$ ($20-$30)
Scent: Slightly floral. Difficult to decipher exactly what the smell is.
I liked: the rich texture and compact shape. Feels more like a moisturizer than an aftershave.
I didn’t like: the paraben preservatives and strong fragrance.

My experience with Ahava’s Soothing After-Shave Moisturizer for men was fairly good. The scent is subtle and not particularly masculine. It lacks any sort of brisk quality – there’s no “cooling” factor whatsoever. However, the cream does a great job at moisturizing. The product has a heavier consistency – like a thick, waxy lotion. Its compact packaging makes it ideal for travel. If you’re comfortable spending $30 for a 1.7 ounce bottle of an aftershave with a subtle floral fragrance that functions well as a moisturizer, then Ahava’s Soothing After Shave Moisturizer may be the product for you.
