No matter who you are and where you are, the heat of summer always comes harsh on your skin. The common believe is that the skin of man is not as sensitive as that of the ladies. This is absolutely correct, but the pollution and harmful UV rays of the sun have equal damaging effect on men. The spring has already arrived and summers will be knocking at the door soon.
So, here are some of the skincare tips for all the fashion cognizant that can help you beat the heat.
Daily face wash
Even if you bathe, washing your face at least twice a day is a must. The body potion above the neck is exposed to the dirt and sun. The dust and sweat clogs the pores of the skin. So, make sure that you clean the face once in the morning and later in the evening when you return from work.
Moisturize
The damp weather dehydrates the skin completely. So, remember to moisturize your skin. The face, hands and feet are some of the most effected body parts due to dryness. Apply a think layer of moisturizer on your body. This will even lighten the tanning. Other than this, protect your skin from the sun with a sunscreen. You can even find a moisturizer with an SPF that can serve the dual purpose for you.
Aftershave
Avoid over shaving during summer. Shaving may lead to peeling and flaking of facial skin as it is already dry. A well-trimmed stubble can help protect the skin from the direct ray of the sun, but don’t the beards grow too long as dust and sweat may lead to itchiness. Moreover, an aftershave lotion is a must. In fact, apply a high quality aftershave balm as the skin is prone to damage after shaving.
Exfoliate
Men don’t have the patience of spending hours on their grooming. However, this is an important aspect of self-grooming. Exfoliating the skin removes the dead cell and dirt that has entered the pores. If possible do this once in a week or twice or thrice in a month.
Below the belt prevention
Other than this, the crotch area of men suffers a lot. This is the part of the body that is always covered with two layer of clothes. Thus, it is more prone to sweating. The moisture retention leads rashes and itching. The first thing you need to do this season is shave off your forest. Apply antiperspirant and talcum powder in this area. Wear a skimpy style of men’s underwear that will allows the air to pass keeping it cool down there. Men’s bikini underwear crafted in cotton and other lightweight material is an ideal option.
Follow a healthy diet regime
Avoid oily, fried and junk food this season. Vitamin A, C and protein rich food will provide the much-needed nourishment to the skin. Eat the seasonal fruits and yogurts. Drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated.
