These days it is not only women who are worried about aging, but men as well, which explains the growth in anti-aging products for males. It used to be said that men would age gracefully, but women would just grow old. These days, however, men are also increasingly anxious about the signs of aging. Here are some of the essential anti-aging products for men:

Exfoliants. These are substances that scrub off the upper layer of skin to reveal the new layer underneath. While old skin falls off normally, it may not do so evenly, leaving unsightly patches of dead skin on your face. An exfoliant will help remove these patches to make your face look younger and fresher. Men and women should exfoliate around two times a month since the normal cycle of skin growth is around 28 days. Use a product that has fine grains as it will be gentle and not irritate your skin. Older men, however, may need to use stronger exfoliants that contain alpha or beta-hydroxy acid, but these may leave the skin more sensitive to UV light so users may need to wear sunscreen when they go out to avoid sun damage.

Hair regrowth treatment. The most noticeable sign of aging in men is thinning hair and a receding hairline. Hair revitalizers promote hair growth by revitalizing the hair follicles in the scalp or improve the appearance of your remaining hair to make it look thicker. These products should be used as soon as you detect the first signs of hair thinning to be most effective and should be applied as often as required.

Eye cream. As with women, men also acquire crow s feet and fine lines around the eyes as they age. They can help reduce these wrinkles by using anti-aging eye cream, which will moisturize and deliver nutrients to the thin skin around the eyes. They work by either filling in the lines to minimize their appearance or slow the formation of new wrinkles by delaying cell turnover. Men should use eye cream twice a day in the morning and at night before you sleep. The cream should be applied with gentle motions to avoid stretching the skin and creating new lines. Start by dabbing some cream underneath the eye and then move slowly towards the nose as well as upwards towards your eyelids.

Anti-oxidant moisturizer. One of the main causes of aging is free radicals which cause cell damage. To help combat free radicals, doctors recommend that you take more anti-oxidants, by eating more food rich in the nutrient as well as taking supplements such as Vitamin E and C. Foods rich in anti-oxidants include dark berries, nuts and spinach. You can also help combat the effects of aging by using anti-aging moisturizer. These moisturizers help address the dryness that becomes more common as we age, ensuring that your complexion looks fresh while anti-oxidants enter the skin to nourish it. Choose moisturizers that list Vitamin E, C and A as well as Resveratrol on their label. Use the moisturizer twice a day, in the morning and at night.
