Men and skin cream

[jenP_97]

Amy asked if there were any men out there who 
felt the need for skin cream...

Well, I'm not a man (there are times when I'm 
extremely thankful on this point, but as a 
nursing mom 5 weeks after childbirth with a 
very large sleep debt, I'm not sure this is 
one of those times...), but I do have one 
living in my house.  I also am not a fanatical 
face-washer... but I do experience tightness/
dryness after doing so.  So does Chris.  And 
you know what?  He bitched about it (excuse me) 
for about 3 years before I finally said, "So 
use my moisturizer, for goodness sakes!"  Know 
what?  He did... and he LOVED it.  So now he 
and I share the same bottle of Olay "Complete" 
for sensitive skin (no perfumes, so he doesn't 
feel "girly"), and I think he would freely 
admit to using it about 2x as much as I do (as 
I have oily skin and he has dry).

He uses it so much I made HIM buy a replacement 
bottle when we ran out the last time, and we 
got into a lengthy discussion about which brand 
feels better - we'd been using the cheaper 
Suave moisturizer, but he felt it was too 
greasy feeling, and wanted to spend more on the 
Olay.  Interesting, eh?
