 Hi everyone, I'm Brian Sakawa and thanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Ask Key Spoke Style. I've gotten quite a few questions about skin care and skin care routine, and I'm really glad that you guys are thinking about this because what good is dressing well and having nice clothes and taking care of them if you're not taking care of your face. So let's talk about skin care. A good skin care regimen consists of four components, exfoliating, cleansing, moisturizing and protecting. Exfoliating is important because it removes all of those dead skin cells, and dead skin cells are bad because they can clog your pores and clog pores, create blemishes and ingrown hairs which are definitely painful and don't look good at all. I recommend exfoliating at least once a week. I do it twice a week, and one of my favorite products is by Baxter of California. It's their facial scrub. I've been using it for a long time, obviously there is not much left. It's a really great product. Cleansing is the part of skin care that everyone knows about. The thing that's important to remember when washing your face is that you're not using a cleanser that's too abrasive or that's going to leave your skin too dry. One of my favorite products is, again, Baxter of California product, and it's the Daily Face Wash. It's a product I've been using for many, many years, and I love it. It's very mild and it works very, very well. The third part of a good skin care regimen is moisturizing. I know moisturizing can be something that a lot of guys don't want to do because we don't want our faces to look greasy or oily. I know years ago I used to not like to use moisturizer because I hated having my face look greasy. Two things to think about when using a moisturizer, make sure you're using the right amount, don't over-moisturize, and pick one that isn't greasy at all. A product that I've been using recently is by Refinery. It's really great. It's not too greasy. I really like how it makes my face feel. The final aspect of a good skin care regimen is to protect. You never want to leave the house without some kind of SPF protection. A lot of moisturizers kind of do double duty. They'll have an SPF in them. Obviously, you can always just put sunblock on before you leave the house. There also are products that are SPF boosters for any kind of moisturizer you might have. I am always looking for new products and especially skin care products, so leave your favorites in the comments. If you guys have a question, please, as always, send them in.
