Hi Elizabeth,

I say go FOR IT! I have been using moisturizers amongst other products for years. ESPECIALLY after shaving. It was a habit the my mother instilled in me at a VERY young age.

In my experience most guys (in the under 30 catgegory) do not even think of using these type of products on their own.(So you will have to CONVINCE THEM more on this later)...

However I do know of some male dominated MARKETS that are booming in this industry.

1) Male Baby Boomers want to look younger and better. Do you know they even have lipstick for guys. (Saw it on TV)

2) Sports Guys like skiers are wearing these moisturizers and lipstick because of the cold weather

3) Under 30 guys? (Tough Sell?...Not really) tell them that women enjoy the SWEET SCENT of these moisturizers and will just want to EAT YOU UP!

Take it from me, I've gotten more compliments from wearing a peach sented moisturizer, than some of the more MANLY colognes

Another market you might want to POSITION your product for is the HOMOSEXUAL market.

After working in the Hospitality industry for a while, I have noticed that a lot of Homosexual men tend to take better CARE of their bodies and faces than their Heterosexual counterparts. So you might have a HUNGRY Market right their waiting for you.

I agree with Anya. Read Gordon's remote hypnosis. It will give you more than enough ideas about how to make your prospect DESIRE your Creams.

P.S
Homemade Soaps are HUGE (There are classes on it)

Homemade Scented Oils are bigger (There are classes for it)

HOME MADE HERBAL CREAMS??? Enter "ELIZABETH'S HOUSE OF HOMEMADE CREAMS"

Hope this helps.
