American Men Go Natural

By Kimberly Cortes, April 9th, 2012

Our skin is the one of the key pieces to show off our health. With the seasons changing and the amounts of sun exposure, its nearly impossible to keep our skin rejuvenated. It seems the french have mastered this secret and now Americans will get in on it. High-end French skincare brand NUXE, known internationally for delivering organic and innovative products has launched the NUXE MEN collection. NUXE debuted as a popular womens skincare brand and has remained a favorite for more than two decades. Now, the company is ready to tackle the male market. The NUXE MEN collection is the brand’s first grooming range for men, which will launch in the United States later this summer. The unique plant-based range, designed specifically for men, combines the power of six tree extracts to create an effective line of products that contain 79 percent natural origin ingredients.

The Collections includes:
