Contrary to the popular belief, men need skincare too! A man’s skin needs attention and nourishment just as much.
Before you start with a skincare routine, you would need to find out your skin type and follow the basic skin-care regimen with products to suit your skin.
- Cleanse
It is a must to cleanse your skin no matter how lazy you are. Choose a creamy cleanser if you have dry skin or a clear cleanser if you have oily skin. But remember not to overdo it.
- Shave
To shave, choose a good razor and a shaving gel or cream that yields a close shave, kills bacteria, softens follicles and leaves the skin feeling smooth. Avoid products that contain alcohol and parabens as they strip natural oils from the skin, leaving it dry and irritated.
- Exfoliate
In order to remove dead skin cells and debris, exfoliation is a must. Moreover, it stimulates circulation to add a healthy glow to your skin.
- Moisturise
Men’s skin being oilier tend to wrinkle early. A light moisturiser and a nourishing cream can do wonders.
- Protect
Use sunscreen properly to protect your skin. SPF 15 is a good start but apply it half an hour prior to stepping outdoors. If you plan to stay outdoors for longer, use SPF 30.
It is only a healthy lifestyle and not expensive skincare products that can boosts your physical appearance —your complexion, to those bags under your eyes, to the sheen of your hair.
