The Latest Male Grooming Products

Audra Lowe Lowe: We’re here on Better. We’re all about making the ladies’ life easier with beauty advice. You know, you’ve seen it everyday on the show. Well now, it’s time to tackle the guys. It used to be just a razor, a bar soap and a toothbrush, the simple things and the men will set. But, these days there are a lot of grooming products out there made just for him. Beauty and grooming expert Candace Corey is here. She’s going to show us the best products made just for men and even those products that they might want to steal from the women and I hear and see that we might want to steal some products back from them right? Candace Corey: Right, yes. Audra Lowe: Good to see you again Candace. Candace Corey: Thanks for having me. Audra Lowe: You groomed a lot of men Danny Glover, also NBA players as well like Kevin Garnett, Dwyane Wade. What in particular are these men looking for when it comes to grooming? What’s the main thing on their minds? Candace Corey: Well the first thing they want to do is something very simple. They don’t, unlike us, who like to pamper ourselves. They want to be able to get in and get out and get done. But, one out of two men even if they don’t have problem with balding, they do have problems with thinning. So what they can do is add into their regular vitamins; a supplement that would help that like Viviscal. It’s a natural 100% natural vitamin that uses amino Marcy marine complex to actually give the body what it needs to help the hair stop the thinning and to help it grow. Now the good thing about that as women, we could say that too. So, women can take it as well and one out of three women have problems with thinning hair like with me after my third kid, my hair started thinning too. Candace Corey: Hormonal changes too. Audra Lowe: So it’s a supplement so unlike if you do something topically, that if you stop doing topically sometimes it doesn’t grow again. Since it is a supplement, you’re taking an internal it makes your hair. Audra Lowe Well, this kit, it works for women as well. Candace Corey: Yes, it does work for women as well which is great. Audra Lowe: What about a tip for men’s hair so it doesn’t look piecey and too many parts; you got a great tip for this? Candace Corey: I really suggest that stealing your wife’s hair products. That so my husband doesn’t like, “Put my stuff there” especially if you have thinning hair. Go on something that’s according to your hair type. Pantene makes it easy because if you have thick hair or curly hair, you could do it according to your hair type. But especially if you have thin hair because if you do something that’s too heavy, it’ll make it look thinner; so make sure you go with according to your hair type so what works for your wife might not work for you. Audra Lowe: Exactly and speaking of which, skin care products may not work for one person and the other. But what do you recommend for men out there because a lot of men get the razor bumps, they get issues just from shaving alone. Candace Corey: Right I really suggest something that’s going to do a lot because men’s skin is thicker than women’s and they don’t do the sunscreen like we do. Audra Lowe: Right. Is it thicker than women’s? Candace Corey: Yes it is, that’s why we get the fine lines. They usually get the heavy creases but there was something like Olay Definity Foaming Moisturizer that has a texture that they’re comfortable with. And it also hydrates as well as it has glucosamine in it so it takes for that 5 o’clock shadow which is actually hyper pigmentation. Audra Lowe: Now what about this skin when it comes to acne, a lot of men will complain about having acne on their back, even excess hair on their back, do you have a trick for that? Candace Corey: Go with something that has glycolic acid as well as salicylic acid in it like the DBF Brightening Cleanser because you can keep it in the shower and it takes care of that breakout on your face. Audra Lowe: Got it, good tips. Thank you so much Candace, good to see you here. We’ll be right back.
