Before reading this article from the NYT, I never realized how much men detested the act of shaving. (I guess my husband just isn't much of a complainer.) But apparently, for some of you guys out there, shaving isn't so much a daily ritual as it is a constant battle to keep unwanted stubble at bay.
Some men are turning to products that claim to slow the growth of their facial hair, using natural plant extracts like palmatine and saw palmetto. Though the products as a group haven't really taken off yet, two -- Clarins Men Skin Difference and Origins for Men Fire Fighter Plus -- are enjoying a growing popularity among their male customers. Some men claim that the products put their 5 o'clock shadow off until later in the evening, and that they enjoy smoother skin with fewer ingrown hairs.
Dermatologists say the science behind these products is sketchy, so whether or not they really work is up for debate. If you're a man who's tried these products, did they work for you? And if you haven't tried them, would you? Tell us what you think!
