The Budget Beauty - Episode 10

Skin care for the MEN!!!

What Is the Skin Made of?

The skin is the largest organ in the body, comprising about 15% of the body weight.  The total skin surface of an adult ranges from 12 to 20 square feet. In terms of chemical composition, the skin is about 70% water, 25% protein and 2% lipids. The remainder includes trace minerals, nucleic acids, glycosoaminoglycans, proteoglycans and numerous other chemicals.

The skin consists of three main layers: epidermis, dermis and subcaneous tissue.

Although men traditionally spend less time caring for their skin than women do, they spend more time damaging their skin through outdoor activities and hazardous work conditions. This is why I want to offers tips on skin care products that are not necessarily only for men but for women also.  For this article, I will include a product line that is dermatologist recommeneded.   

I want to introduce you to CeraVe.  I purchased and have been using this product for about a month and I really like it.  They have a FB page and you can go to the web site and get a coupon.



Guys, it’s not too late to adopt a healthy skin routine.  CeraVe can help you.  I got mine at Walmart.
