There�s no beating around the bush -- breakouts aren�t sexy. Unless the lights are off, a big, red blemish can cool the mood fast. Instead of putting your energy toward applying foundation, focus it on clearing up your skin. Men would trade in a made-up face for a flawless complexion any day of the week. To prevent zits, always wash your face before bed. To further avoid pores from clogging, slough away dead cells with an exfoliator two times a week. If a stubborn pimple persists, dab it with a drying potion containing acne-fighting ingredients such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide (try Kate Somerville Anti Bac Clearing Lotion, $39).

Love happens between the eyes. If yours look exhausted, all bets are off. Not to mention, dark under eye circles can age you. Whether it�s cars or women, men like things in mint condition. To look fresh as a daisy, hide the darkness with a concealer. Pat a creamy, peach-toned formula (try Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector, $8.22) gently around the offending area and instantly increase your chances for sparks to fly.
