Metro Male ~ Men’s Grooming Segment
Metro Male ~ Men’s Grooming Segment
KTLA Morning News, Tuesday, March 11, 2008
On KTLA Morning News, I finally got to turn the gender table, so to speak, and feature the best skin products for MEN! Plus I demo’ed a couple easy do-it-yourself aftershaves and shoe deodorizing powder you can craft at home! In the health and beauty market, one of the fastest growing segments happens to be one of the most difficult to reach–MEN. Last year, men spent more than $16 billion worldwide for personal care products, reflecting greater than a 7% increase worldwide.”
Here’s what we covered during the segment…
Billy Jealousy’s Six Pack $40
- • Six Pack ensures that your silhouette appears chiseled and not chunky
- • Great to use daily and to apply before hitting the gym for a workout
6 Pack stimulates the body’s lymphatic system through a delivery system of caffeine which enables bioflavinoids to breakdown and liquefy the fat!
OLAY DEFINITY ILLUMINATING EYE TREATMENT $25.99
Just launched this past July, the Illuminating eye treatment diminishes the look of darkness and wrinkles for highly defined luminosity around the eyes. Small in size, it sits on night stands discretely, will make it through airport check points and make men’s eye wrinkles less obvious.
