Snow and freezing temperature are not the only things guys have to worry about during cold season. Having and maintaining a well-balanced facial regimen is crucial this time of year. With our face being the exposed to the elements, prevention against dry flaky skin, chapped lips and breakouts is important. If you already have a regimen, it wouldn't hurt to revisit and make necessary changes that works best for cold weather.
I have tried and tested a number of men's skincare products through the years until I found the best cocktail that works for my skin. I follow a day and evening as well as a hot/warm and cold season regimen. Though it's not necessary to have such a regimen like mine, maintaining and protecting your skin will have long-term benefits.
Here are my top essential skincare products that will help protect and maintain that pretty face this cold season.

| With a couple of Crimes of Fashion, Valentino hasn't faired well here on TheSmartStylist.com. And just for the record, I'm not singling him out. I have the outmost respect for his creativity and consider him as one of fashion's most important and most influential person. As for the fashion offenders that I deliver into justice week after week, they can be a criminal this week and a hero the next. Besides life is to short to hold a grudge on something that's ugly. | ![]() Valentino Gladiator Sandal Pre-Order $595.00 Saks |
![]() | No offense, but I got tired of seeing flat heeled metallic gladiator sandals. They are in any and every store that sells footwear! Yet, oddly enough I've only seen a handful of people actually wearing them. Heeled, gladiator style and cut-out sandals on the other hand are hot right now. ![]() (l) Gucci 'Marion' High-Heel Sandals $995.00 Saks (r) Dior Cut-Out Platform Sandals $780.00 Saks |
Fashion powerhouse Gucci delivers chic and trendy handbags once again with it's Cruise 2009 Collection. Handbags done in exotic materials like Python, Crocodile and tortoise accented with metal shells, brass hardware and white gold are bohemian luxury.

I was never been a fan of Gold jewelry, I'm more of a silver, white gold and platinum kind of guy. All that changed at least for now when I saw Gucci's new line of jewelry. The designs are clean and modern and quite tasteful. I also love the unique details like the purple floral etched amethyst on a gold chain earring and bamboo inspired designs. Priced just about right for jewelry. Heirloom worthy pieces.

As we are enjoying the summer sun, it's spring time in Milan! Men's Spring 2009 Collections are in full bloom on every runway. Vibrant colors, fresh designs and of course, classic handsome tailoring. On top of my list so far is Gucci. Colors and flora abound the collection. The harmony of fine tailoring and modern patterns and bright colors is what I loved most. Frida Grannini brought Tropicana back! From Hedi Slimane's heroine chic to Grannini's hippie chic, to any Gucci lover such transition from one spectrum to the other is no surprise. It's simply Gucci. Here are my faves from Gucci Men's Spring 2009 Collection.
