This blog is all-inclusive, walking you through the necessary procedures of a man’s skincare routine and giving you all expert advice along with the right products to be used to give out the best results.
If there are products and routines, there has to be an understanding of the skin type first. This will help go ahead with the selection of the products as per your needs.
Here is a quick rundown of common skin types:
Once you have identified your skin type, you can begin to create your tailored skincare routine. Here are the key steps:
Cleaning is the starting point of any good skincare routine. It eliminates dirt, oil, sweat and other external dirt that pile up within the day to avoid pores getting clogged and breakouts.
For the person who has balancing/ oily skin, the best cleanser should be preferably a foaming cleanser and gel. It must have active agents that can clean too much oil around a person’s face without stripping off.
It needs a very mild and creamy cleanser which hydrates, even as it is cleansed. Key ingredients are ceramides, as well as hyaluronic acid.
Wash your face in the morning and evening to remove dirt and debris.
Wash with lukewarm water, gently massaging the cleanser into the skin with circular motions. Rinse completely and pat dry with a clean towel.
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells that are on the surface of your skin. It leaves you with a brighter and smoother complexion. You will also prevent ingrown hairs, so it is especially good for men who shave.
Scrub cream containing minute particles that gently abrasively remove dead skin. Use with care on sensitive skin.
Employ acids, including salicylic acid or glycolic acid, to break down adhesives that bind dead skin cells. Gently, less abrasive than manual exfoliants.
Avoid scrubbing too hard as it will cause inflammation. Start from low frequency and gradually increase based on what your skin can tolerate.
Serums are light, concentrated formulas loaded with active ingredients that penetrate deeply into the skin for targeted, focused treatments of specific concerns.
It should contain hyaluronic acid, which will attract water and bind it into the skin, hence hydrating the outer surface, making it plump, and thus looking young.
Antioxidants are full of vitamin C, which can protect your skin from environmental stressors as well as prevent damage to your skin causing early ageing and make your complexion bright.
Rich in retinol, peptides, or growth factors, these serums are made to stimulate collagen production, remove wrinkles, and enhance the texture of the skin.
Soak a few drops of serum into your face and neck before moisturising.
A moisturiser is an absolute must-have product for all skin types, including oily skin. It retains moisture in the skin, protects the integrity of the skin barrier, and guards the skin against environmental stressors.
A light, non-greasy moisturiser will not clog pores. The gel-based product may be the ticket.
Soak up rich, creamy moisture with an intense-hydrating formula to help repair and strengthen the skin barrier.
Apply moisturiser to your face and neck once you have cleansed and applied serum, both AM and PM.
Eye creams are formulated specifically for the delicate skin around the eyes, so in areas where there is concern with dryness, fine lines, and dark circles.
Hyaluronic acid, for instance, will plump out the skin to fill up fine lines.
Filled with vitamin C or caffeine to minimise dark circles and brighten the under-eye area.
You can dot a little eye cream around the orbital bone without rubbing it on the eyes using your ring finger.
Sunscreen is non-negotiable, and it does not matter what your skin type or the weather is. It helps protect your skin from those harmful rays of the sun that are said to be the primary causes of early ageing, sunspots, and skin cancer.
Look for a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 that protects against UVA and UVB rays.
Apply sunscreen as the final application of your morning skincare. Do this even on cloudy days.
