New STUF natural skin care line targets men

LOS ANGELES — Derma e Natural Bodycare has introduced STUF Men’s Skin Defense, an all-natural skin care line for men.

Men's skin is oilier than women's skin, and their pores are larger (thus they can trap more debris). Although a man’s skin is thicker, it also usually is more sensitive than a woman’s skin, according to the manufacturer. Plus, a man’s skin is more acidic. Men typically will form deeper facial lines and more age spots than women, and they are more prone to skin damage. They have more cases of redness, rosacea and under-eye puffiness. Plus, men have beard issues to manage. For this, the manufacturer has created products for his daily grooming ritual, including:

• 2-in-1 shampoo plus conditioner;


• Body and hair wash;


• Facial cleanser;


• Facial scrub;


• Shave gel;


• After shave balm; and


• Anti-aging moisturizer SPF 15

The formulations include the antioxidant pycnogenol, which is 50 times more powerful than vitamin E, according to the manufacturer. The products also have green tea extract to help protect skin and fight the signs of aging, organic aloe vera gel, allantoin and chamomile.
