You might be one of us blokes who likes to give it your all on the footy field or work up a sweat at the gym. Or you could enjoy a paddle in the morning and think a quick hot shower to freshen up is all you need.

Well, you’d be FOOLISH, mate. Being active is great for your health and will keep you looking fit, but when you sweat, you lose moisture and it can make your skin look tired.

There are schools of thought which say it is cool to look like a rugged action movie star.  But think about the last time you saw a bloke who has not taken care of his skin for the last 30 years. Was ‘there goes a good looking bloke’ the first thing that crossed your mind? Didn’t think so.

Treat your skin well each day and you will see the benefits. Some tips:

• Wash/ rinse your face first and gently pat dry
• Moisturise from the forehead down locking that moisture in.
• Be gentle under the eyes
• Don’t forget your nose
• Apply all the way to the collarbone

This takes about two minutes. Two minutes, you’ll actually get back in years down the track. Save your F*ACE now and reap the rewards later.

Your skin and the natural elements aren’t mates. In fact, they kind of hate each other. Wind in particular dries out the moisture your face is carrying around. A few days in the great outdoors and your skin can patch up, get dry and look dull and grimy. Sunburn, chaffing or other friction related irritation (on your F*ACE, mate!) not only sting, they can make you look tired and older than a worn out boot.

The good news is there’s no need to ditch the adventure; turn down that weekend up the coast with your mates or say no to a massive night out. The whole world doesn’t need to know your sleep deprived or nursing a hangover.

Simply use your moisturizer each night before bed and give your skin back what it lost during the day. Do it for a few nights in a row, and trust us, you’ll wake up looking the goods - Fresh as a daisy.

Get after it boys.

As we head into spring and the slippery slope to the silly season; your skin is either going to be your best friend or your worst enemy. If you’re lucky, you’ve grown out of those teenage skincare problems like acne, but if you are still prone to irritation, breakouts and inflammation; your skin isn’t going to help you put your best F*ACE forward.

The key to great skin is to remember to wash your face properly every morning, evening and after exercising. Blokes generally have tougher, oilier skin than women so grabbing your sister’s or girlfriend’s products (…c’mon you know you do) isn’t the way. The good news is it is actually quite easy to do it right. Just follow our simple steps.

• Figure out what skin type you have - Wash your face, pat dry and wait five minutes. Rub a finger on your forehead between your eyes – now have a gander. If it feels oily, yep you guessed it mate, you have oily skin. If it is bone dry, you are going to be better off with anything which has sensitive on the label.

• Buy a Facewash and use it - Try washing your skin twice a day. It takes two minutes and don’t worry, it doesn’t mean you are now living the day spa life. A quick once over in the shower and after you work out and you will be rinsing off the dead skin cells and unclogging your pores.

• For the beardless - Wash before you shave and change the blade often. Dead skin cells trapped on the blade are just gross.

Your skin will love you for it.

NEW SKINCARE RANGE, F*ACE, TAKES ON THE WORLD FACE FIRST

Finally an Australian skincare range that doesn’t take itself too seriously

Fads come and go, beard lengths change and tattoos can be removed . But your F*ACE is yours forever. F*ACE is a new skincare range for normal Aussie fellas. Its natural skincare that’s tested on real Aussie blokes and is about to change the face of the male cosmetics world.

“F*ACE is down and dirty. It tells it like it is because quite frankly, we need to F*ACE some facts. Chat-up lines don’t work, fashions only have short-term appeal but looking after your skin will last a lifetime” said an un-named F*ACE representative. 

Contrary to popular male belief, your skin is your biggest organ. F*ACE natural skincare keeps it clean, with natural ingredients like Kakadu Plum extract, Australian honey & Macadamia Seed Oil and natural ingredients that are suitably free of any nasties. F*ACE looks after your skin without any side effects. “There’s so much stuff out there that tries too hard” said an Aussie bloke who wants to clean up his act “we’re not bothered about beautiful, expensive packaging or products that use made up marketing lingo. We just want to wash our face with a decent product and use good moisturiser, so that we look good.

While all this might be a lot of fun, there is a serious side to F*ACE, and that’s getting normal Aussie blokes to take better care of their skin. By using a facewash and moisturiser that clears away impurities and protects their skin from their daily grind, normal Aussie fellas can now take on the world face first without any fear of mick taking, back slapping on buddy condemnation. And if they ever forget, there’s a less than gentle reminder on the front of every tube. WASH YOUR F*ACE MATE & SAVE YOUR F*ACE MATE. Simple.

 Now there really is no excuse to fail to clean up your act and everything to gain from a bit of positive facial action.
