Cover It Up: New  Zit  Camouflage for Guys

Recently, a rep approached us with a concealer made specifically for men. What a genius idea right? Guys get zits too and its only fair they have a way to cover them up just like us girls do. They Hate Pimples was created for guys, by guys, and is the perfect solution for stubborn acne. The product comes in three shades named after beers-Pale Ale, Medium Lager, and Amber Ale with enough in the container to last quite a while!

Cover It Up: New  Zit  Camouflage for Guys

I loaned the product to my fiancé and he was pleasantly surprised after giving it a try. With its amazing opaque coverage, it’ll hide just about anything without looking cakey. It also contains tea tree oil, which is known to help clear up acne.

The only issue I found is the limited color choice. I happened to have all 3 colors and was able to blend the Medium Lager with the Amber Ale to create the perfect shade for my fiancés moderately tan, olive complexion. It would definitely be worth buying two shades if your guy’s skin tone is somewhere in between two shades. Overall we would definitely recommend this product and are so happy there is finally a concealer for men!

$14.95 each. For more info and to shop, visit TheyHatePimples.com

Time to trim up, guys. Unruly, scruffy beards, meant to be ironic years past, look dated in 2013. This year's facial hair trends are sleek and trim without a hint of neck beard in sight. If you're growing or maintaining a beard, consult Grooming Lounge's Beard Science article for beard grooming tips. Taking time to care for your beard means the difference between looking Ewan McGregor (HOT!) and Joaquin Phoenix (NOT!).

Cashmere

It's true, a cashmere sweater can be expensive. But it's an investment that you won't regret. Not only will you have a beautiful garment that you can wear for 3 out of 4 seasons each year (well, if you live in the Northwest), but it's incredibly warm and ultra soft.

Shop Now
From now until the end of December, stores will be stocking lots of cashmere sweaters in a multitude of colors and styles. It's also a good time to look for sales so be sure to check Bluefly and Macy's for some good deals.

Take Care
Dry clean or hand wash your cashmere with gentle detergent made for washing wool. Avoid regular laundry detergent, it will eat away the fibers. Lay flat to dry. Don't ever put your cashmere in the dryer.

Pictured above from left to right: J.Crew Cashmere Half-Zip Sweater ($285), Harrison Black Cherry Cashmere Basic Crew-Neck Sweater ($111.20), Club Room Cashmere Solid V-Neck Sweater ($79.99).
