Here are a couple of lip products that I highly recommend for all you Venuses and Mars! Just because cosmetics are heavily marketed to women does not mean that our brothers and loved ones cannot benefit from the skin care products and tools.

One of my favorites is M.A.C.’s Prep+Prime Microfine Lip Refinisher. This is just a god send and so practical. It is both a lip-conditioning and an exfoliating stick used before applying color. First use the botanically-derived natural exfoliator, to create a seamless surface. Then use the lip conditioner that moisturizes, nourishes, and soothes the lips. Lick your lips first before the color so that you can delight in M•A•C’s signature vanilla flavour.

Another is M.A.C.’s Lip Conditioner Stick SPF 15. Men also get chapped and burnt lips from harsh weather conditions. This is an easy to use swivel-up stick which looks much more dignified than a chap stick. M.A.C. uses almond oil, shea butter, avocado extract, wheat germ oil, and vitamins A and E to condition and moisturize the lips. The sun protection is excellent for any water sport when you don’t realize the beating you are taking from the glare of the water.
