My wife has invested a small fortune in skin care products. Can we—or better yet, should we—share? Our retirement may be resting on your answer. |
 At last men are realizing what their wives and girlfriends have known for a long time—the right skin care products really do make a difference. But what to use (and how much to spend) can be tricky.
Should you share? That depends. First, consider what's different about a guy's skin. It's thicker than a woman's and in most cases, produces more oil. But even more importantly, a man's skin care needs revolve around a daily shaving regimen, which has its own unique set of requirements. Jack Black's Beard Lube happens to be the ultimate guy product, offering three benefits—pre-shave oil, shave cream and skin conditioner—in one easy-to-use product.
That said, there is an important point to be made in the case of sharing products in the anti-aging category. According to an NBC news report, prices for these creams and lotions are generally higher on the women's side of the counter, based more on who they're marketed to (women or men) rather than their effectiveness. In fact, a comparison of Jack Black's Line Smoother Face Moisturizer and a comparative women's anti-aging cream showed the Jack Black product to contain more beneficial ingredients—and it was less than half the price. With that in mind, it makes sense to us that she should be using your products. (Similar results can be found comparing men's and women's eye treatments.)
We'll end this discussion with a few more recommendations, continuing in the spirit of what's yours is hers. Other Jack Black products we think she'll like include our Eye Balm Age Minimizing Gel, Industrial Strength Hand Healer and Sleek Finish Texture Cream.
