Skincare for Men

Skincare for men doesn’t have to be overly complicated or ridiculously expensive. What it should be, instead, is consistent and intentional.

Whether you want to simplify your skincare routine or are creating a skincare routine for the first time. Regardless of your age, a man’s basic skincare routine will remain the same.

It comes down to three simple steps, it’s as easy as cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturising to keep your skin looking healthy and young.

The Simplest Men’s Skincare Regimen for Men

1. Wash Your Face Twice Daily

Wash your face in the morning and again at night with a cleanser that is appropriate for your skin type (dry, sensitive, oily, or combination). In the morning you need to wash away oil build-up and bacterial remnants that transferred from your last night’s moisturiser and pillowcases. And in the evening, you wash away the day’s dirt, sweat, and pollutants that have built up during the day.

2. Exfoliate Twice Weekly

By exfoliating twice a week, you can ensure that your dead skin cells get removed and the skin pores can breathe with ease. Exfoliating your face and neck will give you a more youthful, radiant complexion. There are two different types of skincare exfoliation products: chemical exfoliants and physical scrubs. An exfoliant should be used following a cleanser. Just be sure not to over-exfoliate and scrub away healthy skin cells. 

3. Moisturise Twice Daily

Moisturising is the third and final step in this simple men’s skincare routine.  By applying moisturiser it acts as a defence mechanism by protecting the top of your skin and trapping moisture in the layers below, while also shielding your skin from “ageing” pollutants in the air.

Moisturising in the morning should always include SPF 30+ to block the sun’s harmful UV rays which cause accelerated signs of aging like loss of elasticity, dark spots, wrinkles, and roughness. Use a non-SPF moisturiser at night. You can buy skin care products online, but just make sure you are buying one that is appropriate for your skin type.
