StriVectin just launched a Men's Wrinkle-Fighting Tool Kit, with the tag-line "real men wrinkle (and deal with it!)". And we've got to say, we love what they're trying to do: By calling it a "tool kit" they're making skin care seem manly, and they've even thrown in a little reverse psychology with the "real men wrinkle" bit. Sure, some guys actually like to use anti-aging serums and nice-smelling body washes, but that isn't always the case. And if you ever thought your BF needed a little help in the beauty department, but couldn't convince him to take your advice, then you probably like StriVectin's tactic, too.
We asked you on Twitter and Facebook for your #manbeauty stories, and here are some of our faves. The first step, as @DudeSociety pointed out, should be to use the word "grooming" instead of "beauty", but after that all bets are off.
"I rub serum on his face while he's sleeping. He's getting crows-feet wrinkles!" -Vivian
"When his lips get dry he doesn't like to use chapstick so I layer it on my lips extra thick and kiss him." -Kaytlenne

"I exfoliate my man's face twice a month. He loves it! Then it's just Nivea." -Nirupa
"My husband has really, really rough heels (I'm talking scales here). I gave him a pedicure and filed all of the dead skin away, and he couldn't walk across our carpet. He claimed he didn't have any 'snow treads' anymore." -Monica
"I got my boyfriend to use my facewash... and he did facemasks with me! He uses my Joico conditioner too." -Caitlin

"I love asking guys to try on mascara...they have those long pretty eyelashes and aren't using them for any good purpose at all. The key is telling them you're only going to do one eye and no one is going to see. After one eye, they'll let you do the other." -Tiffany
"I gave him a full body exfoliation and a hot hydrating-oil massage on a massage table in my kitchen. -@_limecitron
"I made my ex put clear mascara on his crazy eyebrows." -Laura
