This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Neutrogena® for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
They are watching you. They see you open the door for your wife. They see you give up your seat for that person in the waiting room. They see you taking care of your family by going to work every day. They see you taking care of yourself with what you eat and how you look.
Take care of yourself. You only get one chance to take care of your body, so do it the first time around.
1 – Eat Healthy.
I eat healthy to take care of myself, but it goes beyond that. I want my heart to be strong so I can live to see your children and their children. I want my lungs to be strong, so I can play with you for years to come.
2 – Exercise.
I exercise to be able to keep up with you & your brothers when you are teenagers. It keeps my muscles strong. I also exercise to stay fit. When Pap & I built your playground set, it took a lot of strength. I could’t have done that if I wasn’t in good shape.
3 – Take care of you skin.
I protect my face with Neutrogena Men® Triple Protect Face Lotion. I only use what I trust (it was actually award-winning for being the #1 moisturizer for men.) When we get razor irritation (and you will at some point), it hurts. This helps to soothe it, heal the dry skin & help to fight signs of aging. I don’t like greasy lotions, so I choose Neutrogena Men® Triple Protect Face Lotion instead. You can get it at
4 – Use Sunscreen.
Your skin can be great or it can be a place that holds some very scary health risks. Your Mom’s grandpa had skin cancer and for that reason, I work hard to keep my skin safe. I use Neutrogena Men® Triple Protect Face Lotion every morning because the lightweight formula contains SPF 20 sunscreen to help fight sun damage on your skin. You can get it at Neutrogena.com
5 – Look presentable when going on an interview.
It is important that you look like the picture of success when going on an interview. This means you wear a suit and youshave your face. I know that it isn’t what you want to hear, but it is the truth. You are judged by your appearance. If you want to land that job, you need to look the part. If shaving bothers you, do something about it. Neutrogena Men® Razor Defense® Face Scrub makes skin less sensitive to shaving and helps prevent razor irritation. At the same time, it conditions skin and actually softens facial hair, so you get a closer, less irritating shave.
6 – Take a shower every day.
This isn’t an option. Shower daily. You need to be clean. Wash your face daily, too. Grab a face wash that you like, like Neutrogena® Men® Invigorating Face Wash (a foaming gel cleanser) that is specifically designed for a man’s face, with a cooling lather that works down to your dirtiest pores without over-drying. Showering will help you feel refreshed and a good facial cleaner like this will remove excess surface oil and dirt to improve your skin’s overall healthy look. You can get it at Neutrogena.com
7 – Play
Never forget to do something for you. Over the years, since having kids, I have been on several basketball & baseball teams, through churches or groups. It is just a way to get out & enjoy time with friends. Plus- I have the best kids cheering me on.
8 – Take care of what you have.
When my shoes get muddy, I clean them. When my car gets dirty, I wash it. When something breaks, I fix it (or at least try to fix it). When I am finished with something, I put it away. Taking care of what you have is important.
Remember that your kids (& mine) watch us every day . They learn more from what they see than from what they hear, so let us always set the best examples.
