Mount Laurel, New Jersey - October 1, 2006 — Men who undergo chemotherapy and radiation treatments have a difficult time finding skin care products that don't irritate their faces.

That's why Jolene Schwartz, owner of a grooming salon for men in New Jersey and also a cancer survivor, created the Face Tools line of products that provide relief for dry, sensitive skin during and after cancer treatments. Any man can use them, but they're particularly helpful for cancer patients because they have milder ingredients, a minimum of preservatives, desert plant extracts and essential oils instead of perfumes.

The Face Tools line includes:

* "Cleanse & Shave" foam that provides a lubricating barrier for a smooth, frictionless shave. It contains tea tree, a natural antiseptic, and white tea and licorice which soothe and leave skin clean and comfortable. The 3.7-ounce container is $15.

* "Daily Defense," a revitalizing aloe-based gel, combats redness, dry skin and all traces of post-shave irritation. It leaves a soft, dry, oil-free protective barrier on the skin. The 3.7-ounce container is $18.

The American Cancer society estimates that men have almost a 50 percent risk of developing cancer in their lifetime.

Schwartz, who saw men's personal care products growing rapidly, worked with clients at her Appearances for Men grooming salon to find skin care products that not only soothed and protected their faces but weren't greasy, scented or difficult to use. She tested a variety of products before developing the Face Tools line.

Doctors' offices, oncology centers and others can obtain product brochures by calling 856-866-0913. Her entire line of products is at www.AppearancesforMen.com

The Appearances for Men salon, has been in the Laurel Corporate Center business park in Mount Laurel for 19 years.
