My dearest,
After all these years we’ve shared a bathroom shelf and tub, I still find you quite attractive. For real. Well, okay, your fuzzy blond head has thinned a bit and your shadows under your eyes make me so sentimental sometimes (wasn’t there even a song?). Your skin isn’t quite as fresh as it used to be either. Time doesn’t pass by anyone, including me, but I have my jars and tubes there, as you know… But why only me?

The change in cosmetics
Recently, cosmetics manufacturers have launched a whole range of new products that also make men like you more beautiful. Although that’s hardly possible, of course. However, if you only think of ordinary shaving foam, then you’ve cut yourself. Today there are completely different beauty specialists for men’s skin. So manufacturers do everything they can to ensure that you and your fellow genders also make beautiful eyes of us women. With decongestant active ingredients against bags under the eyes and dark circles, for example. Yes, you did recently, sorry. This is where the practical roll-on comes in handy for the beauty quickie in the bathroom. Very effective – and not only at this time, when the ten-hour day is followed by the Christmas party.
Practical cosmetic tips for him
Or how about a cleansing gel that simultaneously peels dead skin cells off your face? Bet – after that you’ll be tender as a peach. Feels good – for me too. Try… … a serum (it’s a concentrate) for blemishes. You have to imagine it like an image editing program on a living object: Small pigment disorders, spots and ingrown whiskers are simply erased in the long term. If I take a close-up of you on your next vacation, you hardly have to edit the photo afterwards. And in the time saved, you could give me a massage. For example.
Cosmetics from head to toe
On the head you men usually have more massive loss problems than we do. The cosmetics industry has not yet found the ultimate remedy for hair loss, but the new men’s shampoos already have a few tricks up their sleeve: vitamins and ginseng, for example, are supposed to stimulate your hair roots and at least prevent further hair loss. But you can also conceal lighter areas quite well with a styling gel.
Don’t worry: today’s gels have little in common with the synthetically smelly stuff you smeared into your hair for your first The Cure concert in 1984, apart from the name. Twist something up here, tangle a few strands there in the right direction – have courage, I’ll help you.
Got a cream…I already bought you. A real anti-aging care for men. With lots of moisture and vitamin C, which strengthens the connective tissue. Good against wrinkles. Yes, you have that too.
Mane skin is different
The cream was actually a Christmas present, but I’m already giving it out because yesterday I discovered your thick fingerprint again in my Night Repair jar. The scent of my favorite care on your nose. I can’t. You don’t have to look so innocent, I saw through you a long time ago. Not that I don’t begrudge you my night cream, but believe me: it’s way too rich for you.
Your skin has way more oil glands than mine. Also, unlike me, you’re a real pachyderm. This combo gave you more puberty pimples a few decades ago, but you get wrinkles later than me. That’s equal justice. Are you happy … …actually about my care tips? Or do you think they’re women’s stuff? N / A? Admit it. You men have discovered so many “female sides” in you in recent years.
You cook your kids organic parsnip puree, feel your pelvic floor while doing yoga – but when it comes to grooming, you often still have this cliche in the back of your mind: A cool guy showers in waterfalls, shaves with the enemy’s knife and despises aftershave.
Don’t worry: men’s cosmetics have adapted, they don’t look like cosmetic parlors, but more like steel-gray miracle weapons from the arsenal of an action film set designer. And it sounds like it too: We’re talking about ice shower and shock effects, a kick of freshness and extreme power. It is not for nothing that manufacturers, for example, have their foot creams tested by American wildlife photographers on expeditions. Note: Rough guys need delicate creams too.
Not only for the feet, but also for the face. Especially now in winter they protect against frosty temperatures with active ingredients such as shea or cocoa butter. And an extra dose of moisture is good.
What ever … …you do in the bathroom, you do it for me too. How pleasant it is to warm my cold toes under the covers between men’s feet whose soles are not as rough as the surface of the moon. How I’m already looking forward to being caressed by well-groomed hands and to sniffing your fresh-smelling hair… Here’s to good times, my love
Your sweetheart
