Skincare for men is just as important as it is for women, after all, we all want to look and feel good regardless of our gender. All of us are just as prone to damage from the sun, skin issues and complaints and the signs of aging, so skincare isn't something you should shy away from as a guy. It doesn't have to involve using lots of products, taking up loads of time or anything complicated. It really can be quite simple, here's how you can go about it.
Use a good cleanser
Pollution, sweat and general dirt and grime can clog the pores and even cause aging due to damage, and so cleansing daily is important. Don't just use your regular shower gel in the shower, it's so worth buying a cleanser especially for the face. The skin here is much more delicate, and the right product won't leave it feeling dry, tight and uncomfortable. You can find several skin cleansers and moisturisers at affordable prices using coupons and deals so it doesn't have to leave a dent in your pocket
Use quality razors
If you like to clean shave, even if it's only a few days a week then the right razor is crucial. Get this wrong and you'll be left with cuts and irritation, blunt razors can even cause ingrown hair and rashes. The best time to shave is during or after a shower, a moisturising shaving gel will also help for a smooth shave. Be sure to replace your blades regularly, you could sign up to a subscription service which posts them out to your house every few weeks if you're always being caught short.
Apply facial moisturiser
It takes a matter of seconds to apply a moisturiser. Keep a pot by your bed or by your sink and pop a little on after a shower or before bed. It will keep your skin supple, protect it from the damage of the day and stop it from getting dry, flaky and irritated. You could get a product containing SPF and apply it in the morning, that way you kill two birds with one stone. UV damage is one of the quickest ways to prematurely age your skin.
Eat healthily
A good diet and plenty of water will maintain your skin from the inside out. It will protect your body from free radicals which can lead to aging and keep it nourished and hydrated. There are hundreds of reasons to eat healthily and live well, great skin is just a bonus.
