Three M.A.C. products every man should own and use

When one talks about male grooming, your, well what we could a traditional men give you the side-eye.

In our largely, on the surface at least, conservative society, giving particular attention to your grooming sees some questioning your sexuality.

It comes from one single thing. Men traditionally do not really look at themselves in the mirror and in reality we are kinda unaware of what our faces actually are like. Yes we will apply a lotion but do we understand the texture and or even have an understanding of what we look like

Quick side-note: I recently found out I had a few freckles on my face.

A recent trip to Cape Town for SA Menswear Week started an intimate affair with M.A.C. Cosmetics, a product supplier which until then I had happily consigned to the stuff women do.

mac_essentiialoils — MAC Prep+Prime Essential Oils

It all started when my incredibly awesome Kanye West-loving (we are the same on that) handler on the trip Ntokozo Njali took me to the store at Waterfront in Cape Town introduced me to the MAC Prep+Prime Essential Oils. My beard fell in love. I used it for a few days and then one day while hosting a radio show back home, I grabbed my beard and boomshakalaka it was soft, as well, really soft.

From the shop I had picked up the Lip Conditioner Hydratant. Never really a fan of lip balm because it felt oily but not this hydratant . After a few uses it has become an essential accessory for my day, giving my lips a not only great look but a lovely soft naturally moist feel. Apply a small wee bit of it and it will do the work. I enjoy my own lips now. (PS. Spotted in with it, I am now known as M.A.C. dude by some of my friends… even the ladies envy me shem).

Then the godfather of the lot is the M.A.C. Marine-Bright formula softening lotion. The key there gents is softening. Apply it when you wash your face in the morning and before you sleep and in a week you will love your face. Your skin will feel repaired and works as a toner for all types. So if you had been mad enough to use your body lotion on your face this will change your life.

The really exceedingly cool thing about these products is you do not have to change your habits much to use them. You won’t have to a spend longer time grooming yourself. They fit perfectly into your daily routine with a superior effect.

There are other products that men can use from the M.A.C. Cosmetics stock of products. Those three are total recommends from us for someone who wants to simply feel good about themselves. From that feel good, you get confidence. And confidence trumps everything.
