| Men over 50 what do you do?
Posted: 6/27/2009 6:23:12 PM | | Well my hair is the same as in the photo. My temples are greying slightly. However, my beard has almost turned white and my students started calling me Santa Claus. I shaved. Other than that, not much. | |

Posted: 6/27/2009 8:12:00 PM | On my face and body....soap and water..
On my hair? Shampoo and conditioner from the local supermarket..
A bit of deoderant and a quick spray of cologne..
Make-up? A bit of mascara and a bit of lipstick...and I am off!
What the H is all that gook that women put on themselves in the belief that it makes them look younger? All I can think of is the huge outlay for it. | |

The lines on my face are there because I have spent a lifetime (so far) smiling and laughing. The lines remind me constantly of those good times in life and inspire me to continue living in spite of what the day to day may bring.
The cynics will bemoan that the above paragraph sounds like a load of shit. The paranoid will look over his/her shoulder and wonder if everyone notices the lines and therefore will pass them over. The optimist will welcome more lines.
I say, bring on the damn lines. At this point, why do I care what anyone else thinks anyway?
...Good attitude. The thing is, I would rather see those laugh lines around the eyes and mouth it adds character....much easier on the eyes than that smooth tight look that botox and surgery creates. Burt Reynolds looks horrible

Posted: 6/28/2009 6:57:34 AM | I see men my age with hair as dark as Ronald Reagan's and think about how insecure they must feel if they're afraid of a little grey hair.
Don't care about wrinkles, just another sign of a flavoring vintage.
I like my body at this age and don't care to change it at all. | |

Posted: 6/28/2009 7:20:36 PM | Soap and water doesn't cut it anymore for me, neither do the gel shaving products.
Using nothing but Jack Black products, shaving and after shave including face moisturizers with spf attributes.
My face used to scream when I raised the blades to it, but now it only has flashbacks and then thanks me.  | |

Posted: 7/2/2009 12:57:25 PM | I have spent a life time being careful of what and how much I eat, not getting excessive sun and going to the ymca three times a week (especially in the last 10 years). Perfect: no. Happy with myself: yes.  | |

Posted: 7/3/2009 9:29:16 AM | I handle it the natural way. No one this age can see anything up close, so I just get in their face. That way neither one of us can see anything. 
Seriously, one of the great things about getting to this age is it doesn't matter anymore. Women are just happy to know I'm still breathing and capable. From what I hear, that makes me an exception and that's good enough for me. | |

Posted: 7/3/2009 4:14:18 PM | Coconut and olive oil, eaten, not applied, have a noticeable effect for me.
I've never liked greasy stuff on my skin.
Coconut oil especially effective for itchy skin (for me in winter months) and scalp. | |

Posted: 7/5/2009 9:05:01 PM | I tend to agree with anyone who says most men over 50 do not worry about it at all.
I fear vanity much more than I do a few face wrinkles.
My hair has either turned white or turned lose, but that is me. | |

Posted: 7/6/2009 5:09:52 PM | Don't laugh, people....long before there was sunscreen, and certainly long before African-American people were aware that the sun could damage their skin, too, my grandfather discouraged (the family females especially), from going outside in the sun without wearing a wide-brimmed hat. He said if we did that a lot we would look like "raisins" eventually....wise man.
I have been wearing sunscreen for about 20 years....I now wear 50 SPF because of a skin cancer scare a couple of years ago....yes, me.....the chocolatebrownie...... | |

Posted: 8/6/2009 11:18:19 PM | Yes, age is only in the mind!! I think everyone is as old as they act....just be honest and yourself. | |

Posted: 8/6/2009 11:31:45 PM | OP
So am wondering if you men treat your face as well? I know some men do color their hair, use hair growth products etc
Nothing beats Photoshop. Works for face, hair, and the whole body. Heck, it can get rid even of the ex (though, just in the photo). | |

Posted: 8/6/2009 11:33:15 PM | In my late teens, I had a job interviewing senior citizens, chosen by random sampling. I knocked on the door of someone on my list, she answered by the name on my list and I declared that there must be some mistake, "I'm interviewing people over 65". She said,"That's me and I'm over 65".
She shared her "secret" with me and I've been doing it ever since. Two to three times a day, she put cream on a *wet* face. Any cream. The wet face was key.
I do the same, but also apply shea butter over the cream that is applied to the wet face. Once a week or so, I also use hyaluronic acid and emu oil. I know this is a *snore* to claim, but I look much younger than my chronological age - all due to the youthful woman I met many years ago.
I think men should care for their skin and use moisturizers! | |
