Dear Spahhh Talk,
Is this veggie mask (minus the bird droppings!) beneficial for men too?

Bonjour J,

Great question and certainly so! Not just a girl thing. Every man and woman should take good care of their skin to ensure the innumerable kisses coming along their cheeks ;-)

Seriously though fact is men and women’s skin age differently and both have inherent advantages when it comes to their skin. Basically though skin care for men is remarkably similar to that of women. Because women have thinner skin our oil glands produce less oil than men’s, which did you notice the reason for all the moisturizing we do? You are blessed with lots of testosterone making your skin tighter and slow to wrinkle. And Rob Lowe is the perfect example of this high testosterone wonder (our tables were so close at Ruby’s I could see his healthy glowing pores!)

As with any recipe, tweak according to your face type. The honey is good for drier (winter and aging) skins. Try adding juices in strawberries and lemon; they contain natural astringents and great for oilier skin.

If you do decide to add the optional bird droppings, I hear “McSpeedy” is an eager supplier of this signature spa treatment phenomenon. Whatever you do, make it fun!
