More and more men are now pursuing healthier, younger looking skin, making it a great time to evaluate their skin care routine and how to take care of their skin.
First and most important men must understand their skin type:
- Sensitive Skin: May sting or burn after product use
- Normal Skin: Clear and not sensitive
- Dry Skin: Flaky, itchy and rough
- Oily Skin: Shiny and greasy
- Combination skin: Dry in some areas and oily in others
To help men choose the correct skin care we will make the following recommendations:
- Consider product labels and ingredients: The skincare products you choose will depend on your skin type. If you have acne-prone skin look for cleansers and moisturizers that says “oil-free” or “non-comedogenic” as these won’t clog your pores. If you have sensitive skin use mild “fragrance free” products as products containing fragrances can leave the skin feeling irritated and dry.
- Use a Toner. A toner will help to clear away oil and dead skin cells to maximize the penetration of your serums and hydrators.
- Wash your face daily and after exercise. Use a soap free cleanser because it will still foam but not dry out your skin as regular soaps. Wash your face with lukewarm water and not hot water.
- Exfoliate regularly to improve skin texture and prevent ingrown hair on the face and neck area.
- Watch your shaving technique. Some use multi blade razors others prefer electrical shavers. Before you shave, wet the skin and hair because this will soften it.
- Moisturize daily. Moisture will help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and make your skin look brighter and younger.
- Use an eye cream. Regular application can help reduce puffiness and fine lines and improve overall hydration of the eye area.
- Check skin regularly for new spots or moles that itch or bleed or change in color. If you notice any suspicious spots, make an appointment at your dermatologist.
- Wear sunscreen daily. This will help prevent premature ageing and sun damage. For the best protection make sure you use a broad-spectrum spf.
