clean AND manly
After arriving at school last week, I was struck my a sudden, and rather belligerent, outbreak of acne. Seriously, I'm 30 now, this shouldn't still be a problem. Anyway, I wanted to do something about it. So I went to the store to peruse their selection of skin care products. I bought a tube of Nivea for men facial cleanser. I think it's funny. Really I bought it. The tube *and* the marketing. I'm sure it's the same as regular facial cleanser (read: for women) except with a manly scent. But still, I would have felt silly buying or using regular stuff. I needed that little "for men" tag to make me feel comfortable.
The Y in me is sometimes insecure.
On a further note, the stuff works great. My face has never felt so clean and refreshed. My complexion is positively glowing.
