The average young man has active oil and sweat glands, glands that invite an accumulation on the face of dirt and grime. As a result, the typical young, adult male finds it necessary to purchase a men's facial cleanser. Of course, a wise consumer of any sex wants to buy a quality product without spending a ridiculously large amount of money.

How then can a male find a men's facial cleanser that performs effectively, but that fails to encourage the thinning of his wallet? That man needs to pay attention to the ingredients in each cleansing product now available to the consumer.

A top quality cleanser does not cause the appearance of unwanted side effects. A top quality cleanser does not dry the skin. It also does not accelerate the need for a face moisturizer. Fortunately, most men stay clear of any sort of product that contains perfumes. Therefore few men care to purchase a sweet smelling cleanser. That is just the sort of cleanser that can invite the need for a face moisturizer.

Now the reader should not infer from the above statement that a man who purchases the proper sort of skin care products should never need any type of moisturizer. A man often exposes his face to drying elements in the environment. A man who performs surveys for a living might, for example, work repeatedly in windy weather. A soldier might be stationed in a region of the world with an extremely dry climate.

In either case, the skin on the face of that hard-working man would loose some of its natural moisture. Only a skin care product with vital and nourishing ingredients could help that man to regain the moisture that he once had in his face.

As a man gets older, he has less reason to purchase a men's facial cleanser, and an ever more important need for a face moisturizer. As a, man ages, the sweat and oil glands on his face become much less active. He begins to develop dry skin, and problems, such as itching, that are associated with dry skin. As a man ages, he needs to cut down on the amount of soap that he puts on his skin. He might also consider using a nourishing cream or lotion.

If an older man does choose to purchase a nourishing skin care aid, he should look for a product that can stimulate production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are proteins, proteins that are found in all healthy endothelial cells.

Collagen has fiber-like characteristics. When endothelial cells produce collagen then those cells demonstrate a marked firmness. Elastin allows endothelial cells to show greater flexibility. When skin contains elastin, then it can return to its original position, after it has been pushed or stretched.

When a guy uses a skin care aid that stimulates production of collagen and elastin, then he helps his endothelial cells to behave like the endothelial cells in a more youthful skin. By using that product, he can enjoy looking in the mirror, and can see in the reflected image, a truly vitalized appearance.
