Exfoliation

The Sacremento Bee has some advice on taking care of your skin. It includes some stuff for us guys, including some tips on shaving.
Shaving every day is a man's way of exfoliating his face. That's good, but shaving should be done after a shower rather than before, and with shaving gel, not soap. A sharp razor is important to avoid shaving the same place multiple times, which can irritate the skin.

If after-shave is used, check the ingredients to make sure there's no alcohol. It dries the skin. Everyone, including men, should use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 every day. This could double as your moisturizer.
The article mentions that Michael Jordan will launch a line of grooming products for men this year.
