Last installment, our resident grooming contributor, Colonel Cator Sparks, and his pal Eric Malka (founder of The Art of Shaving) talked to us about what you need in order to get the perfect shave. This week, we discuss those crinkly creases and horrifying harbingers of doom, the wrinkle.
All right, I know some of you guys are thinking I'm a dingbat talkin' about wrinkles at our age but the truth is, you can't start early enough when we're talking about prevention. Wrinkles can start appearing as young as 20 and sun, smoking, weight gain and loss can contribute to great changes in your skin (as does rubbing your eyes all the time, weedhead!).
Crows feet, or those three/four lines that radiate out from the corners of your eyes (which look like scrawny bird feet) are fairly easy to manage as long as you dab on a little eye cream every morning. Granted, eye products aren't on the cheap side, but hey, it's the first thing people see on your face so you might as well make 'em look their best. Windows to the soul, guys.
When using eye cream just squirt out a pea size amount and mush between your two index fingers. Then dab your fingers in a semi-circle under your eyes. D for done.
