FORGET SKIN CARE REVIEWS - BALL IRONING IS COMING BACK

It has been our mission to bring guys solid options for skin care. Little did we know guy were still intrigued by a cosmetic procedure known as "Ball Ironing". No it is not a joke. It is very real.

Thanks to George Clooney for bringing the procedure back to lifestyle blogs. This is not the first time Clooney has raved about a procedure he clearly gets. In 2008 Esquire magazine published this from Clooney:

I did get my balls done, though. I got them unwrinkled. It's the new thing in Hollywood - ball ironing.

We wish this was one of Clooney's pranks, but the procedure is real. It involves a whole process of hair removal, lasers, and stretching. Oh and it is reported by The Cut that the procedure costs close to $600. This procedure is hardly a needed procedure so don't even try it, but instead purely for vanity reasons.

Guys before you fly to California to get the procedure from Registered Nurse Jamie, we have some tips for your. Leave the ironing and starch to your dress shirts. Body maintenance is important and can boost self esteem. But keep it simple gents with these 5 tips.


TOP 5 TIPS FOR DOWN THERE

[1] Hair Trimmers
There are some guys who don't own a good pair of trimmers. Trimmers are a good staple for men's bathrooms. Not only good to keep your facial hair trimmed and neat, but also good for maintaining the lower region.

[2] A Top Notch Razor
It is one thing to shave your face with a throw away razor, but resist the urge to take that razor to the shower. Face and lower region are two different skin types. We don't have to tell you, but remember the skin is thinner and more sensitive down there. Trust us you will not want to be cheap in your razor choice.

[3] Cream & Moisturize
Stay away from your normal facial shave cream. A lot of traditional gels and creams have ingredients that can irritate the thinner skin - like menthol. It is what gives you that cool feeling when you are shaving your face. That cool feeling won't feel so good down there. Instead go for a natural product. Our favorite is Lush Cosmetics men's shave cream and Lad Moisturizer.

[4] Put The Lotion On The Skin
Skin is similar to leather. It it isn't regularly moisturized, the skin dries out and discolors. Moisturizing all over is key for guys to keep skin looking, feeling, and keeping it's natural color and elasticity. Over time a good lotion will do wonders for your skin.

[5] Can't Stop Aging but Can Age Gracefully
Let's face it. If you have $600 to throw down on a vanity procedure. Save it for your face or for some good pampering. The body is going to naturally age. There is nothing you can do about it except ease on into it. Plus let's be honest, is there really much that can be done down there to make ready for it's close up?
