So you’ve decided that it’s finally time to be more considerate of your skincare routine, and focus more on what you apply to your skin and how you look after it on the daily. This means you require a few useful pointers. Getting clearer complexion, and keeping your skin healthy and young isn’t as difficult as men usually think. A few easy, yet important steps, can improve significantly the appearance of your skin.
There are some key differences between women’s and men’s skin, but in the majority of cases, an effective skin care plan consists of the same elements, with a few slightly different actions. But how exactly should your skincare routine look like? What are the most important tips to be aware of here? The following pointers will help you reduce imperfections and get that beautiful and vibrant complexion:
Before buying any skincare product or putting together a routine, you should first acknowledge your particular skin type. Anything you apply on your face should be appropriate for your type of complexion.
Once you’ve identified your skin type, it’s easier to ensure optimal care, and not deal with any irritations, blemishes, pimples and rashes.
Cleansing is one of the most important steps in a skincare routine, for both men and women. Going to bed before you’ve properly washed your faced will leave unwanted germs and dust onto your face, and this can lead to breakouts or other unpleasant skin issues.
Considering you don’t wear makeup, your cleansing routine looks slightly different from the one of a woman. However, you do need to use proper products. Washing your face using soap can cause irritations and is not advises. Using just water, on the other hand, will not ensure that deep-pore cleanse you need, so get your hands on a high-quality cleanser and use it every evening before sleep.
Regardless if it’s a moisturizer, a cleanser or a face wash, each product you apply onto your skin should be suitable for your skin type. Someone who has oily skin will naturally need entirely different mens skin products than someone with a dry complexion. Usually, you just need to check the label to see if a certain product is appropriate for your skin type or not. For acne-prone skin, for example, you should always purchase non-comedogenic or oil-free products, in order to not clog your pores, while for sensitive skin, mild, fragrance-free options are recommended.
Reading the ingredient list before buying something is highly advised. Besides being certain that the said product is designed for your skin type, the brand should also use healthy ingredients. Look for natural ingredients, such as aloe vera, sunflower oil, glycerin etc.
Preventing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles means you need to keep your skin properly moisturized. Applying a high-quality moisturizer after you shave, shower or wash your face will help you maintain your complexion looking young and glowy. The skin should usually be damp during the application for optimal results. A moisturizing lotion is the preferred option for men, considering that creams tend to feel a bit heavier on the skin, and might often clog the pores. Make it a habit out of putting a bit of moisturizer on, whenever you get out of the shower, or after you’ve just washed your face – it’s important to keep your skin hydrated.
One mistake many men tend to make is not paying enough attention to their shaving technique. Using the wrong razor can affect the health of your skin more than you’d imagine. Before you shave, make sure to wet your skin and beard to soften it. Apply a shaving cream as well. Always shave in the direction of hair growth, and use a two-blade razor, instead of a multi-blade one, to prevent irritation, cuts and ingrown hairs.
It cannot be stressed enough just how important applying sunblock is. Whenever you go outdoors, and you know you’ll be walking in the sun, remember to apply a bit of sunscreen. This will prevent you from dealing with sunburns and will also keep your skin younger – too much sun exposure ages your complexion.
Hydration is critical for your skin’s health, and just because you are applying moisturizer on the daily, doesn’t mean you are actually hydrating your skin properly. Not drying enough water, together with other unhealthy habits, such as smoking, can lead to sensitive, dry skin. Properly hydrated skin will always look better, and you can start by being more careful to how many glasses of water you drink throughout the day.
Last but not least, you should also be aware of the fact that an unorganized sleep schedule can also affect the health and appearance of your complexion. When you sleep, your skin goes into repair mode. Not resting for enough hours at night can easily lead to issues such as excessive oil, pimples and blemishes, not to mention dark circles under the eyes, which naturally affect how your complexion looks like. If you want to look young, getting sufficient rest at night is a must.
While men usually don’t pay that much attention to their skincare routine as women do, there are still some essentials that any man should know about. Maintaining your complexion young and healthy-looking demands a bit of implication from your part. From the products you choose to apply regularly to the shaving technique you use, each one of these recommendations needs to be taken into account. Start using these tips to your advantage, and you will soon notice a complexion improve – your skin will look clearer and more vibrant than ever.
