ANSWER KEY:

1. False: Applying a toner or soothing agent after shaving calms irritation, balances your skin's moisture content and helps prevents ingrown hairs or clogged pores. Stay away from alcohol-based aftershaves and instead use hydrating products that contain Aloe and Azulene.

2. True: For maximum coverage, use a sunscreen with SPF of 15 or higher and full spectrum protection against UVA/UVB rays.

3. True: Most blades don't stay sharp enough after 5 uses to closely shave hairs, causing you to put more pressure on the blade and go over the same area several times, leading to ingrown hairs or razor burn.

4. False: While men's skin is thicker and can handle more abuse, facial skin is delicate and needs a gentler, less aggressive cleaning. Keep your washes separate and use a gentle cleanser for your face and tougher one for your body.

5. False: Washing many times when you have oily skin can sometimes trigger greater oil production, as the skin is trying to compensate for the constant removal of moisture via cleaning and drying. Take it easy on the cleaning and put hydration back in your skin by using a lightweight moisturizer or hydrating toner.

6. True: Hot water dries quickly on your skin's surface and will unfortunately pull moisture from pores as it does so. A better bet is to take shorter, lukewarm showers and moisturize after stepping out of the tub.

7. Absolutely false: Although some men seem to be born with unbelievable complexions, great skin is something every man can work towards over time. By avoiding products with irritants and fragrances, following a basic men's grooming and skincare routine and paying attention to any problems that come up, you too can maintain a healthy face and body (and just tell people it's genetic).
