Face and neck

Jurlique for Men's new Foaming Face Cleanser ($22, 1) is a gentle, non-drying face wash that leaves the skin feeling soft, radiant and ultra-clean. Suitable for most skin types, it contains high concentrations of natural herbal antioxidants that help reduce the harmful effects of free radicals associated with UV exposure, pollutants and environment stress. Also available are Herbal Shaving Gel, Herbal Aftershave, Herbal Moisturizer, Face & Body Moisturizer, Roll-on Deodorant, Shampoo & Shower Gel and Hair Conditioner. Available at Jurlique Stores & Wellness Sanctuaries, Pharmacies and leading department stores nationally.
   Zia Natural Skincare's Ultimate Deep Pore Cleanser ($23·95, 2) has jojoba micro-beads suspended in a hydrating cleansing lotion to gently eliminate surface impurities, dead cells and pore-clogging debris. With each use, rough, flaky and dry patches are smoothed away as a blend of vitamins; botanical antioxidants and plant oils restore moisture and fight signs of ageing.
   Prolonged exposure to blistering days and steamy nights can be unkind to your appearance. Resist the onslaught of the elements with Billy Jealousy's Combat Lines Moisturizer SPF 30 (3·8 oz for $38, 3), a light replenishing solution with protective antioxidants and SPF 30 sunscreen. Billy Jealousy products are available at www.billyjealousy.com.
   The makers of Earthen's InstantPeel (5) appreciate the inner beauty each man and woman already has, but giving nature a little bit of help doesn't hurt. If you are concerned with the dull and lifeless appearance of your skin and can't afford plastic surgery, then InstantPeel is for you. InstantPeel is an extraordinarily unique skin exfoliant that is the safe and gentle alternative to chemical peels. What is truly exciting about InstantPeel is that now you can have a facial within seven minutes, in the comfort of your own shower.
   Unlike ordinary exfoliants, results are truly immediate and not over time. You'll see dead skin cells and debris gently peel away as you massage. Unlike anything else, InstantPeel binds only to dead skin and debris, leaving younger-looking, baby soft skin in its place because the acidity level of InstantPeel is close to neutral, and there are no after-effects. InstantPeel is recommended for use once every three weeks by people with dry, normal and combination skin; and once every two weeks by others with oily skin. Dermatologist-approved, clinically tested InstantPeel is hypoallergenic and safe for even the most sensitive of skins.
    Clarins’ Men's Firming Moisture Balm (4) provides immediate hydration and comfort. It helps smooth and firm skin while ensuring continuous hydration. It is especially formulated for those who prefer the lightweight and comforting feeling of a moisturizing balm rather than the fresher, soothing texture of the moisture gel. This non-oily moisturizing balm helps soothe razor burn and any feeling of discomfort, and as an added benefit for fuller beards; it softens whiskers to facilitate shaving. It is beneficial not only when used in the morning after shaving, but also at night if skin feels dehydrated due to sun exposure, cold or air conditioning.
   Baxter of California's Enriched Night Cream AHA Anti-ageing Moisturizer for Men ($22) is a lightweight, super-hydrating cream formula that tackles troubles while you sleep. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) exfoliate skin and smooth the skin's texture, wheat amino acids promote collagen support and antioxidant vitamin C and panthenol stimulate cell renewal, delivering radical results overnight.
   Guy Gear's Gush Face Humectant ($25, 6) is an all-natural face lotion that moisturizes and conditions skin. Key ingredients including soya and Moistuflect soothe, soften and hide flaws and can be used as needed, where needed, daytime or night-time. It evens skin tone and hides flaws.
   We have already touched on a fair number of anti-ageing products in this column that have their fans in the market-place, but Hydroderm Beverly Hills' Collagen Infusion Delivery System (8) is patented and backed with clinical research. This system allows collagen and protein to be transferred directly below the epidermis through a simple, liquid-based solution, and is a pain-free alternative to invasive methods such as Botox injections. The entire line of Hydroderm Beverly Hills products was inspired by the idea that ‘beauty can be achieved without having to take extreme measures’. From the new Fast-Acting Wrinkle Reducer ($79·95) and the time-release Anti-Aeging Eye Complex ($39·95) to the gentle Anti-Ageing Moisturizer ($59·95, that contains hexapeptide and hyaluronic acid to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and relax tension in the skin), this line promotes younger, healthier features without the use of painful injection treatments or potentially harmful surgeries.
   Nivea for Men’s Revitalizing Lotion Q10 (7) fights the effects of sun exposure, lack of sleep, pollution and stress caused the loss of vital nutrients essential to maintaining a healthy appearance. It replenishes these lost nutrients with a healthy dose of skin's own coenzyme Q10, vitamins, and SPF 15. Suggested retail, $8·99.
   Gloria Martel's SkinLift Light ($250) is a safe non-evasive, low-powered light tool that penetrates light into the skin's epidermis. It uses five NASA-based light-emitting diodes to supply a soothing light to boost collagen and elastin levels, and increase blood and lymph circulation, giving errant cells extra energy to regenerate and repair themselves.
   The affordable at-home system delivers high-tech skin rejuvenation with the flip of a switch and is ideal for all ages and complexions. There is no chance of injury, and you can't do it wrong: the body uses only the amount of spectrum light it requires. The System includes the SkinLift Light, Gloria's workbook, Grow Young by Discovering the Cause of Each Wrinkle and 10 Steps to Erase Them, the Facial Exerciser tool, which helps build facial muscles and prevent sagging, and the Grow Young exercising video, which demonstrates 18 different facial exercises to help strengthen facial muscles. You can visit her web site at www.gloriamartel.com.
   Free of alcohol, colour and fragrance, B. Kamins Chemist Glycolic 6% ($40), Glycolic 8% ($42) and Glycolic 10% ($44, 9) are topical exfoliants for the face and neck that help increase the rate of cell renewal, brighten and restore clarity to uneven complexions, diminish acneic scars and spots, and moisturize dry, rough skin damaged by sun and environmental conditions. B. Kamins Chemist is available at participating Sephora's, www.sephora.com, Barneys New York, Apothia at Fred Segal (Los Angeles), the Willow Stream Spas at the Fairmont Hotels, other select apothecaries and spas, www.bkamins.com, and by calling 1 888 BKAMINS (252-6467).
   Guy Gear's Restore Vital Oils Serum ($17), an all-natural anti-ageing serum, reduces the appearance of fine lines and sun damage. It tones, nourishes and heals the skin, evens skin tone, and strengthens and smoothes the surface of the skin.
   Once or twice a week, Xpose from IntelliGENTS (11) can be used over the entire face—not just the beard—to remove dead skin cells and refresh the complexion. Face Shield does double-duty to protect your skin from a hostile environment. It is a non-greasy, anti-oxidant moisturizer. It is fortified with titanium dioxide, which helps block the damaging rays of the sun. It includes vitamin C to help strengthen your skin and vitamin E to promote healing. Apply to cleansed face and avoid contact with the area around the eyes.
   Tri-Luma Cream (12), the first triple-action cream for the treatment of moderate to severe melasma. It has been clinically proven in three studies to improve and frequently clear melasma after eight weeks of treatment. It is the number-one prescribed treatment by dermatologists, and the only FDA-approved product for the treatment of melasma. For more information, visit www.triluma.com.
   Avon's PROExtreme Energizing Face Moisturizer for Men (1·7 fl oz for $15) is a lightweight cream that combats signs of ageing and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
   Nickel's Amuse-Gueule (15 ampoules of 0·07 fl oz each per box, $41, 13) is a premier lotion that has a concentration of anti-oxidants and anti-wrinkle ingredients that leave skin feeling supple and refreshed. This moisturizing serum revitalizes stressed-out skin in seconds. Whether you've been hiking all day, clubbing till dawn or travelling trans-Atlantic, just a few drops of this multi-function potion instantly uplifts and softens skin that's dehydrated, wrinkled, or depleted of its natural glow. Amuse-Gueule works in case of an emergency or, for more intensive needs, as a treatment for 15 days. Nickel products are available at Barney’s (1 888 8-BARNEYS) as well as www.nickelskincare.com.
   Zia Natural Skincare's anti-ageing Ultimate Age-Defying Solar Care Face and Ultimate Age-Defying Solar Care Body gels (from $13·95, 10) provide broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection while a unique emulsifier-free formula delivers sweat-proof protection for even the most active lifestyles.
   Chances are you've tried products that claimed to provide anti-ageing benefits, but were disappointed with the peeling, drying and redness or, most importantly, just plain lack of results. But Revercel PM ($75 for 1·5 oz), one of the most significant advancements in anti-ageing skin care since the introduction of Retin-A, is getting ready to shake up the industry. Revercel PM is a power-packed formulation of peptides and antioxidants combined with moisturizers, wrinkle reducers, lighteners, brighteners and skin “plumpers”. This revolutionary product moisturizes while restoring the skin's elasticity and firmness, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promotes clarity, radiance and brightness. The skin appears “fuller” and smoother.
But it doesn't stop there. Revercel PM is also packed with vitamin esters for antioxidant protection, including vitamin E. On the natural side, jojoba esters, apricot kernel oil, sunflower seed oil and shea butter work together to wonderfully moisturize, while palmarosa and the oils of orange, almond, lemon peel, bergamot and vertiver root provide a subtle natural fragrance. For more information, visit www.revercel.com or call 1-866 TO-RENEW. Also at select Nordstrom stores.
