6 Skincare Tips For Men

Most men have kept their skincare routine simple. However, this is currently changing as more men are coming after younger-looking skin. Now is the perfect time for men to start a beauty regimen. To support gentlemen in getting healthier skin, we recommend following the below tips.

Even though there are crucial differences between men's and women's skin, compelling skincare standard steps are similar.

1. Skin Type

Men need to determine and be aware of their skin type. The most common types are:

• Sensitive Skin: People who become red with spicy food and negatively react to beauty products usually have this skin type.
• Dry Skin is characterized by crack and rugged texture.
• Oily skin is recognizable because the skin appears greasy. It's prone to acne breakouts and blemishes.
• Normal skin has a perfect balance as it's not too oily nor too dry. It has excellent blood circulation.
• Combination skin is a combination of oily and dry skin. Commonly the T-zone is oily, and the rest is dry.

When you determine your skin type, it's easier to know which products to use and how to nourish the skin.

2. Cleanse

Guys must wash their faces once a day. Cleaning the face in the morning and night can wipe out the skin's natural oils.

We recommend washing the face at night to prevent dirt and impurities enter into the pores.

If you're going to wash your face before shaving, it's vital to use a mild foam cleanser such as PYUNKANG YUL Cleansing Foam to reduce sebum. This cleansing foam provides the skin with a necessary deep cleanse and a gentle touch ideal for sensitive skin.

Men who don't have sensitive skin can use an exfoliating cleanser like SKINFOOD Rice Mask Wash Off for an improved shaving practice and a gentle wash once or twice a week.

It's a brilliant idea to use a toner after cleanser to close the pores and refresh the skin. One of our favorite ones is BENTON Aloe BHA Skin Toner. This toner has a cooling and refreshing effect, so it's perfect to use after cleansing and shaving.

The BENTON Aloe BHA Skin Toner balances oil, eliminates blackheads, and it's suitable for all skin types.

3. Moisturiser

After cleansing, it's crucial to use moisturiser. Make sure to apply it when the skin is still slightly damp as it locks in moisture. Gentlemen with normal or dry skin, it's an excellent idea to use a face serum like PURITO Centella Unscented Serum.

The PURITO Centella Unscented Serum brightens, soothes, and strengthens the skin. This serum will give the skin a hydrated and glowing complexion.

For Guys with oily skin or acne-prone, we recommend using COSRX Centella Blemish Cream for reducing redness, fading pigmentation, and treating acne. Apply the cream at night to let the active ingredient work their magic overnight.

4. Shaving Cream

Men should buy a shaving cream to lubricate the skin, so the razor blade can glide effortlessly and stop razor burn.

There are several options to choose from. You can pick a shaving cream, gel, or soap. If you prefer to use shaving soap, make sure to have a brush to apply it. Many guys consider this method the best way to shave.

5. Body Moisturiser

Typically men don't use a body moisturiser since they have oily skin. But, for guys who have dry skin or some body parts that are crack and rough, it's recommended to use a body lotion like DEAR KLAIRS Midnight Blue Calming Cream.

The DEAR KLAIRS Midnight Blue Calming Cream is ideal for nourishing dry, inflamed skin since it promotes cell regeneration and healing irritations, including blemishes. Apply the cream immediately after showering, particularly on the elbows, shoulders, knees, feet, and hands.

6. Sunscreen

Most guys ignore applying sunscreen. It's essential to protect the skin from harmful UV rays. Dermatologists recommend using sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30. Please note that sun rays can enhance dark spots.

Apply the sunscreen before going outside to allow the active ingredients to start protecting. ROHTO MENTHOLATUM Hada Labo Koi-Gokujyun UV White Gel is a highly protective formula against the sun. This formula has no fragrance, colouring, or mineral oil.
