If you\u2019re a Hallmarkie, you know that Andrew Walker<\/a> is one of the faces of the channel. And what a face it is. It\u2019s like The CW used an AI lab to create a leading man made of the best parts of Glen Powell<\/a>, Ryan Eggold<\/a>, and a young Clint Eastwood<\/a>. It\u2019s insulting really, how he just walks around with that thing out in the open, making the rest of us normies look like something out of Middle Earth.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Walker is one of the authentically good ones. Humble, engaging, totally Canadian, and a dang workhorse. The Montreal-born actor-producer has shot six movies for Hallmark this year, including Countdown to Christmas\u2019s Jingle Bell Run<\/em><\/a> and Three Wiser Men and a Boy<\/em><\/a>! On top of that, he\u2019s also a husband, father of two sons, and an entrepreneur, having co-founded the SkinMason skincare line<\/a>\u2026 which is clearly working, since there are zero signs of fatigue on his matinee-idol mug.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously I use skincare on a daily basis, and when I wrap from set, I\u2019m always washing my face off,\u201d he explains of the inspiration behind SkinMason. \u201cI have used very abrasive products that have given me skin [issues], I\u2019ve broken out, I\u2019ve had rashes. I used to have these little alcohol wipes to take the rest of my makeup off.\u201d During a dinner with his friend Dr. Hussein Kanji, a heart and lung surgeon who\u2019s \u201calways working with different types of products for [organ] detoxification and antioxidants,\u201d the two agreed to partner on a product line.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had an idea for a very simple yet effective skincare brand, ideally targeted to men to start with, because the women\u2019s space is so massive\u2026but women and men can use the same skincare,\u201d Walker continues. \u201cAnd I said I\u2019d love to venture into this, first off, because my wife [Cassandra] always scolded me for using way too much of her expensive skincare products\u2014I don\u2019t know what to use! It\u2019s like, there\u2019s so many products out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two years later, Walker and Kanji had the first two core products of the line, exfoliating wipes and a serum, which were soon followed by their new moisturizer. \u201cWe don\u2019t even call it a moisturizer. It\u2019s a bioactive cream.\u201d Noting that Jean Carruthers, the co-innovator of Botox, has endorsed all of their products, Walker explains that their formula boasts retinoid, Vitamins C, and phospholipids that rebuild collagen. The SkinMason site is having a 40 percent off Black Friday sale and you can order each item individually or as a set, with a VIP subscription for regular refill orders at a 10 percent discount. Better yet, he laughs, \u201cMy wife has now turned on to using my<\/em> products!\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking of his wife, how do the Walkers plan to spend the holidays? \u201cWith family,\u201d he immediately offers. \u201cWe moved up to Vancouver for a year and it\u2019s been amazing. It\u2019s been quiet because we live next to a forest. So the holidays this year are just going to be family and trying to take a moment to put away the phones, put away technology, and just focus my time on my kids and my wife and each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that<\/em> is a good look for everyone.<\/p>\n
