Exfoliate

Dear S.Q. My favorite comedian, Jim Jefferies, touts that men have naturally great skin (actually the skit is about lactose intolerance). My husband thought it was hilarious, and swears that men’s smooth face is from exfoliating by shaving daily, while women waste thousands of dollars on creams over a lifetime to reclaim youthful skin. Is he right?

Dear J. J. Lover, (FYI, me too). Your husband’s right depending on who you ask. Skincare companies say a softener is needed for that extra close shave to avoid razor burn, and rid ingrown hairs and blackheads, so shaving alone won’t do the trick. But, common observation seems to confirm your husband’s words. Another inequality between the sexes. But hey, can his breasts beat yours? I hope not. 😘 -SQ
