I’ve been using this the last several weeks for my face and I have to say I’m enjoying it. First of all thanks to @omgbart for turning me on to this one. 👏🏻 ... The bar is prob going to last me until the next world war which is prob coming in about 6 months or maybe next week. Who knows. 💁🏻‍♂️ ... My face never feels dried out after using this and the sponge it comes with does a very mild physical exfoliation. Nothing crazy but that’s ok because I’m not that much into tearing my skin. The smell is mild too. The thing that trips me up is leaving it on your face 2mins. I’m washing my face in the shower so I just let it marinate while I’m trying to avoid thinking about my annoying job and commute into the city. All in all it’s a good first step in my morning skincare routine! ☺️ ... FYI @omgbart did a whole blog post on @pcaskin and I recommend you check it out. His blog is extremely informative and fun to read. And doesn’t mind persistent IMs about Maine - and prob doesn’t mind answering IMs on other topics as well. 🤷🏻‍♂️ ... #menskincare #cleanser #pcaskin #pcaskincare #showerlife #ny #guystuff #skincareroutine #skincare #skincareproducts #skincareaddict

Rescue mask detox action! 🚑 ... I’m on a mission to help fix my wife’s breakouts and we started with a fuller’s earth aka multani mitti. Someone I follow here recommended it and I can’t remember who or else I would tag you. Slap me if you remember! 👊🏻 ... This precious dirt is supposed to detox your skin by pulling the dirt out as it dries. As you can see with my face it went too far - as I tend to do. It was so hard on my face which was a little irritating but I wanted to get the max out of the mask. I’m prob doing it wrong but whatevs we had fun. I used a toner to create a mud. The mud turns into a very creamy texture and with the @skinceuticals toner it was very cooling. My wife asked me if I put it in the fridge but I didn’t. It was such an interesting effect and I can’t wait to do it again. It didn’t cure her acne but it was fun. 👌🏻 ... Anyone use this mask? ... #ny #toner #mask #menthatmask #menskincare #detox #skincare

Repurchase!!!! 💸👍🏻💸 . . . . . . I explored some other exfoliation products but at the end of the day I had to get back to my prev regimen with these bad boys. @neogen_global Bio-Peel Pads! 💪🏻 . . They are mild enough to use daily while using my other peels/masks periodically when I want to go deeper. You should exfoliate daily to keep the acne and wrinkles at bay. There are so many products out there but these pads work great because they do both physical and chemical exfoliation with glycolic and lactic acids. My skin does well with this product. . . . . #menskincare #exfoliate #exfoliation #dailyregimen #regimen #skincare #skincareroutine #skincareregime #lacticacid #glycolicacid #ny

I have been eyeing this product ever since @offdutydiary kept posting about it months ago. I initially started using it and thought it was too heavy and then the summer came. During the summer I used only a light moisturizer. Now that the air is drier and colder in NY, I find this to be so perfect. Now I see why she loves this product!! @drjart Cicapair Tiger Grass Cream!!! ✅ . This is definitely in rotation this fall and winter. I loaded up on some new moisturizers as well and will share my experience. Thanks @offdutydiary for your obsessive posts about this one. It’s a keeper! 😂 . . #menskincare #moisturizer #fall #dailyregimen #dryskin #nyc #ny

My current exfoliation and antioxidant combo. I usually kick this off with the @skinceuticals LHA Toner. And then the @alphahskincare Liquid Gold and then The Ordinary Alpha Lipoic Acid. The ALA is thicker so I put that one after the Liquid Gold. I let it sit and dry for a bit before I go further into my regimen. I find that when I let it dry a bit it have less problems with my moisturizers/sunscreens pilling. I’ve been using the ALA for about 8 months now and find that I can do it about 3x a week or so without any sensitivity. When I stack it with other layers of AHA, BHA type products, I can feel my skin on the edge of sensitivity. The best part is my hairline wrinkles are non-existent and skin is very clear. ✅ . If you shave, I recommend you do this between shaves. You could get additional sensitivity if you do it after you shave. When you shave you are exfoliating the skin on your face already so this is double for your beard area when you do that. I will do it after shaving because I like the burn and my skin cools when I apply the rest of my regimen. 👏🏻👍🏻 . Seriously tho I recommend you work up to how you fit either of these into your regimen. I’m hooked on these type of exfoliators and anti-oxidants. I’ve been taking a break from Vit C to explore other products but get my share of Vit C other ways. Either way, follow your bliss pal. 🙄 . #exfoliation #ny #dailyregimen #feeltheburn

I’m finishing this product and thought I was starting to like this physical exfoliator from @malinandgoetz . However, having learned about how 90% of our salt contains microplastics I turned to my products and started looking. I was sure this one was “eco-friendly” because it uses jojoba meal instead of plastics as the physical exfoliator. I looked closer and saw that one of the popular microplastic called polylactic acid. On their website it is listed as “eco-friendly polylactic beads”. Sorry still sounds like plastic to me. Yes the ingredient listed is polylactic acid. I won’t be buying this one again. There are other ways to physically exfoliate - plus I prefer chemical exfoliation anyways. . . #microplastics #savetheplanet #exfoliate #cleanser #lessonlearned #ny
