Most men would answer that they have a simple skincare routine, they wash, shave, and apply an after-shave product. Recent studies show that only 15% of men take time using other skin care products regularly.

But you should start being more concerned about your skin because spending a couple of minutes in the bathroom before leaving the house can work wonders on your complexion. This doesn’t mean that you will use as many products as your partner, you will need only some essentials. This post is about the skin care products all men should use regularly.

Face cleanser

It’s the moment to throw away the soap you were using to cleanse your face daily. Not only that it’s not designed to clean the facial skin, but it also dries it, and it can cause problems like breakouts. You should start using a product designed especially for men, it will remove the grime, oil, and dirt, and it will leave your face moisturised. You may think that it would be simpler to use your girlfriend’s face wash, but it’s not designed to penetrate skin as though as you have. You may not know but men have tougher facial skin than women have, so her gel may not be the best choice for you.

Specialists state that the best cleanser for men is the one that contains glycolic acid because it removes the dead skin cells, and it provides the skin nutrients and oils.  

Face wash tips

The last thing you want is to over wash your face. You may have no idea that you are doing it because you are using the cleansing product according to its instructions. To make sure that you are not over washing, you should not wash your face more than two times a day, except if you are dealing with super oily skin. If the last one is the case, you should consult a dermatologist.

Washing your face twice a day will help you prevent wrinkles. Make sure you cleanse and not to strip it, so you should use circular movements to apply and remove the product. For sensitive skin, you should use a cleanser, for a normal to oily skin you should use a face wash. They are two products that do similar jobs, but they are used for different types of skin.

Exfoliation product

Exfoliation is an important step in both men and women’s routine because it removes the dead skin cells and it prevents the pores from clogging. The dead skin cells found on the skin can cause problems like acne so it’s important to clear them out.

The right scrub will not cause damage to your skin, but it will remove the dead cells and dirt effectively. Once the old layer of skin is cleared out, a new healthier one is revealed, one that will enhance your appearance. It’s advisable to use face scrub 3 times a week to make sure that you remove the impurities, and no debris is clogged into your skin. Make sure that the product you use doesn’t strip your dermal layer.

You will notice that some cleansers have scrubbing particles in them, and they are perfect for daily use, but they are not effective in clearing out your skin effectively. You will have to use a product specially designed for this purpose. When buying mens facial products for exfoliating your face, you should choose something that is tough enough to remove the dead skin cells but also gentle enough to protect your dermal layer. Stay away from the products that contain synthetic ingredients.

Day Moisturiser

Dry, dull derma is your complexion’s greatest enemy, so you should make sure that you hydrate your dermal layer after you wash and scrub your face. Moisturisers are created differently and while some contain numerous chemicals, many others include agents that protect the skin. So, you have to choose the one that promotes skin health. You should purchase only non-comedogenic moisturisers because they contain no chemicals. You may not want to spend time in the store checking the ingredients, so it’s advisable to do research at home and order the products online.

Even if you leave the house or not, you should apply the moisturiser daily. Choose one with SPF to protect your derma from the harmful rays of the sun. This way you avoid using multiple products and save time. And if you are worried that you will smell like your girlfriend, you should buy a moisturiser specially designed for men, there are numerous on the market.

Even if you are dealing with oily skin, you still have to use the moisturiser daily because the right product will stop your skin from producing excessive oil. Keeping your skin hydrated will help you fight acne and maintain your skin hydrated and healthy.

Night moisturiser

Yes, we have just introduced a second moisturiser you have to use before you go to bed. Night moisturiser is the best solution to maintain your facial skin young and clear. It works differently than the one you are using during the daytime because your skin has special needs during nighttime. The AM one contains SPF that is essential when you expose to sunrays. The PM one is created to repair your skin and to improve its health.

When choosing the night moisturiser you search for products that contain vitamin B3 because it improves red skin.

Lip balm

A lip balm is essential in your skincare routine. Choose one made especially for men, you don’t want to use your girlfriend’s one because it’s tinted. To keep your lips hydrated and healthy you should use a lip balm that includes SPF. A product with a minimum SPF 15 can help you prevent herpes, a health problem that is often caused by prolonged exposure to powerful sunrays. You don’t have to apply it constantly, as your girlfriend does, twice a day is enough.
