Together, We Will #StopJunkface!

That’s right, the name of the game is to #StopJunkface. “What the heck is ‘JunkFace’?,” you ask much as I did when I first received the email asking me to be a part of this campaign from the good folks over at Neutrogena Canada. The answer is explained very nicely in the video below:
For those of you who didn’t want to watch the video, Junkface is when a guy uses the same bar of soap, shower pouf, loofah, or washcloth for their face as they do for the rest of their body – specifically their man-parts aka their junk. When Neutrogena approached me I got both disgusted and excited by the prospect of being a part of this campaign.
First I got disgusted…because I consider myself a very hygienic person and I realized I was one of the 72% of men afflicted by Junkface. Yup, it’s true. I thought about it and realized that although I have always maintained separate, distinctive razors and towels for upper and lower body use my soap was cross contaminating my face with my junk on a daily basis. YEEEEECH!
Thankfully Neutrogena started a website dedicated to this problem and helping people like me. I have since cleared my Junkface up with the Neutrogena MEN Invigorating Face Wash which I have a coupon for you available right here (PDF) and which you have the chance of wining along with some other great stuff in the contest below.
If you head on over to StopJunkface.com you’ll see that you are not alone if you’re one of the people who until now was using the same soap for their entire body. Neutrogena MEN Canada even hooked me up with a basket of awesome which I posted to my Instagram (@TheDanLevy) and can be found here and is embedded below.
The package was honestly one of the best a brand has ever sent me for the simple reason that what I at first thought was a t-shirt with my Twitter avatar’s face on it turned out to be a pair of boxers with my face plastered all over it! It also included the tools I need to change my hygiene and end my Junkface affliction:
- A bottle of Neutrogena MEN Invigorating Face Wash
- A bottle of Neutrogena MEN Skin Clearing Shave Cream
- A bottle of Neutrogena MEN Triple Protect Face Lotion (which is also SPF 20).
And I have been using them regularly since the day I received them and no longer have to worry about what a female friend or relative is kissing when they kiss me on the cheek hello.
To encourage the spread of this message and changing the face of men’s hygiene I have teamed up with Neutrogena to give away a prize pack of Neutrogena Men Canada goodies to one lucky reader! Just check out the Rafflecopter Giveaway link below and enter the contest. Just like in 2008 when President Obama was campaigning to become the President of the United States, there is still Hope and I know that together we can reach to the Change which is on the horizon. (Do you think Obama has Junkface? …I don’t think Michelle would let that go down in the White House so probably not.)

POLL: Shower vs Bed
The post today is quite simple and it arises from the meandering that is my brain rapidly switching subjects and meandering as it does on a day-to-day basis. During the winter it is often feels cold even in houses and apartments that are well heated with modern temperature controls.
What is more difficult for you to get out of in the morning? Your warm, comfortable bed? Or a nice, hot shower?
Think about it – the bed is warm and comfortable and you are buried there just waking up from your sleep. On the other hand, the shower is really hot and glorious. As well, when you get out of the shower you are wet and even if you’re outside on a summer day when it’s 80 degrees out and you get out of the pool it’s cold!
What do you think? I personally believe the shower is more difficult but I have asked a number of people and gotten different answers. Remember, a key aspect to this is you cannot add the weight of your usual difficulty getting out of bed in your answer. The answer must solely be based on the difficulty of leaving the warmth of bed to relative cold of room vs leaving the warmth of the shower to the cold of the bathroom. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if you hit the snooze button 8 times before getting out of bed, you’d probably do that on a hot summer morning too. This is key!
