Vaseline’s skin line for men is now officially available and flying of the shelves. Well, I don’t know if it’s flying off the shelves, but it’s getting a lot of notice. I personally think it’s partly because of the masculine packaging, which always works well for the men-types.

The skin care line is a face, body and hand lotion that is deeply moisturizing.

The Vaseline Web site lists off a few great skin care tips too. Here are a few for ya:

• Men’s skin is thicker and oiler than women’s skin
• A day spent outdoors can drain at least ½ pint of water from your skin
• After a swim or a shower, it can take your skin up to 8 hours to rehydrate
