My friend recently told me that I have lost my "luster." He defined it as the natural glow that youthful and taut skin has naturally. Hearing it for the first time stung, especially since I've had random women stop me on the street to tell me that I had beautiful skin and to reveal my secrets. I would demure, lie and say it's all due to clean living and lots of water. But the truth is that after years of drinking, staying out all night, working late hours and staring at a blinding computer screen has finally taken its toll on my skin. Simply put, it has dulled.
The proof is evident everywhere I go. The checkout clerks at the Trader Joe's wine store are less likely to ask for my ID, the bouncer at the door just waves me in and the sales person at Barney's now calls me "sir." Ouch!
I'm not stupid per se since I always expected to get old at some point. It just snuck up on me.So what's a guy with the once lustrous skin supposed to do? He tries to find it in a bottle. With the dry fall season coming up, I'm a big fan of The Body Shop's Vitamin C energizing face spray. It doesn't reverse aging, but it does help to hydrate the surface of the skin. The light orange floral smell is also refreshing. I use the spray 2 to 3 times throughout the day to get my glow on.
The Jersey Shore boys (may their show rest in peace) showed us that guys care about grooming and their bronzed glowing skin as much as women do.
So don't put your skin in a bad "situation." Spray on the C's.
YES: Try it if you get dry facial skin in the winter
NO: Spraying your face with Tropicana orange juice isn't the same
MAYBE: You don't need it since you hide behind your beard
