Although I can't get behind <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/06/02/disturbing-new-trend-man-makeup/" target="_blank">"guyliner" and "manscara"</a>, I CAN support guys taking good care of their skin with products like those in the <a href="http://www.xyhomme.com/_int/_en/index.asp?idtravail=95" target="_blank"><strong>XY Homme</strong></a> range, a new men's-only line from skincare experts <strong>La Roche-Posay</strong>. (Check out my review of Hydreane Teinte, their latest tinted moisturizer, <a href="http://beautyeditor.ca/2009/07/21/for-sensitive-skin-la-roche-posay-hydreane-teinte/" target="_blank">here</a>.)

The collection was designed with men's specific skin needs in mind: compared to women, they have thicker and oilier skin that's more prone to redness, ingrown hairs and dehydration.<!--more-->

The <strong>Hydrating Barrier Gel </strong>($27) and <strong>Normalizing Anti-Redness Balm</strong> ($27) won't clog pores while hydrating dry skin and soothing irritation.

For shaving, there's the <strong>Soap-Free Emollient Shaving Foam</strong> ($15) and the <strong>Micro-Exfoliating Emollient Shaving Gel</strong> ($15). Both suit sensitive skin, with the latter providing a gentle buffing action to prevent ingrown hairs.<em> </em>

<em>Available at drugstores across Canada.</em>
