If you’ve got a dirty mind, like, let’s say for instance Greg, you may have a picture in your head of ‘facials’ that’s based on some movies you keep hidden in the closet.

Truth be told though, an excellent addition to any man’s skin car arsonal should be an occasional facial.

A facial is more than a luxury–it’s hygiene for the skin,” says Nina Curtis, aesthetician and founder of The Nile Institute skin-care center in Beverly Hills, California. As the largest organ in the body, our skin is in a constant state of renewal, shedding dead skin cells every 28 days Facials help remove this dead-cell buildup, rejuvenate the skin and help it function properly, says Curtis, who adds that without this step, your skin can look dull or break out.

Lucky for us, a facial need not be a costly nor time consuming task.

Stretcher.com has an excellent article about doing an inexpensive facial at home.

My personal favorite is simplicity itself;

For Normal/combination skin mix one egg and 1/2 cup cooked instant oatmeal and a teaspoon olive oil until smooth. Spread on your face and leave 15 min then rinse.

Egg on the face needn’t be an embarassing proposition.
