Winter weather can wreak havoc on your skin especially if you're someone who shaves frequently. Already more susceptible to being dry, sensitive and irritated, a freshly shaved face is no-match for what these cold months can bring.

"Men's products, women's products...Is our skin really that different?"

I am asked this question all the time... and for good reason! One of the many reasons why men use their girlfriend's or wife's grooming products is simply because it's easily accessible!

Hey, why go shopping when you can just shop through her products? Besides if it's good enough for her, it should work for you... right?
