When we talk about oils in skin care products, two things happen. First, we tend to focus on big-name oils like coconut, jojoba and olive. Second, a lot of people simply turn their head the second they hear the word oil because they assume it isn't ideal for their skin type. (This is especially true for those with oily, acne-prone or sensitive complexions who've had bad reactions to heavier oils.)

I've been using Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare's DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro, $435, a three-minute LED device for the face, for over a month. Now I'm convinced that LED therapy devices work. It has a setting for wrinkles, one for blemishes and a combination setting. I use the third option almost daily and could tell after about a week that it cleared up lingering blemishes and redness.
Men may not always be proactive about it, but they don't like redness, acne or blackheads any more than women do. While it's tempting to slather some of your moisturizer on your guy's face, that isn't always a good idea.
