How to fight men's skin care foes

MANILA, Philippines - Bullies, gym class, and the peer pressure of high school: you left that fight behind long ago. So why is it you still find yourself battling the same skin problems? The oily face and shiny forehead. The blackheads and blemishes. The pimples and pockmarks. And, as if those weren’t enough, now you’ve got wrinkles to deal with. Well, maybe it’s time you graduate to a new skin care regimen. The Energetics Range from Watsons Men is an arsenal of products engineered to defeat a man’s worst skin care foes.

The fight starts with oil. Men are naturally oily: oils are produced by the body to help keep skin healthy. But excess oil can cause blemishes and acne outbreaks. An oil-control wash is a great weapon against one of your skin’s oldest enemies.

Think about it: men do less to care for their skin than women do, but do more to damage it — through outdoor activities and hazardous work conditions.

The Energetic Range by Watsons Men contains Sepitonic M3, a multi-mineral active ingredient comprised of zinc, copper and magnesium, which together with CoEnzyme Q10, forms a powerful force to stimulate skin cell energy and boost metabolism levels, preventing premature skin aging.

It’s this formula that allows Watsons Men Energetic Range to target men’s three biggest enemies: dirt, acne and aging. 

The Energetic Eye Roll On comes with a cooling roll-on applicator that gently massages the delicate and sensitive skin around the eye area, helping enhance the microcirculation and metabolism level of skin. This roll-on is enriched with nourishing algae and yeast extracts, plus a stimulating caffeine ingredient which helps in smoothening and tightening the skin, as well as helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, eye bags and dark circles. Skin becomes energetic and revitalized after use.

Energetic Moisturizing Facial Cream is a light, non-greasy facial cream moisturizes the skin with natural ingredients — jojoba and Shea butter oil. It also contains algae and tremella extracts to deeply hydrate, and vitamin E to protect skin from environmental pollution. Skin becomes energetic and revitalized after use. With Sepitonic M3 and CoEnzyme Q10, it also keeps your skin feeling fresh and hydrated all day long.

Energetic Intensive Recovery Liquid is a breakthrough that boosts skin cells to improve oily, rough, dull and dry skin. It contains algae and tremella extracts to provide deep moisturization. It’s non-greasy, allowing it to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin. One product- multiple skin problems solved.

Energetic Facial Foaming Cleanser is a soap-free, rich, concentrated foam that effectively removes dirt, excess sebum and dead skin cells, leaving clearer pores and hydrated skin. With Sepitonic M3 and CoEnzyme Q10, your skin is protected from acne-causing oil and dirt. It also contains a menthol ingredient that provides a refreshing feeling after use.
