Keeping the face clean
While using a special men's facial wash may not be necessary, using one with salicylic acid can help control acne-causing bacteria.
Using a moisturizer daily
Applying moisturizer will also help protect the skin from environmental pollutants that are present in the air. Make sure not to forget about your neck! It is vital to use an antioxidant serum and moisturizer that contains an SPF.
Taking care of wrinkles and thinning skin
Skincare products with collagen, elastin, and retinol will help plump up thinning skin cells and fight fine lines and wrinkles to give a more youthful look. These ingredients can be found in quality men's anti-aging products.
Eliminating razor bumps and ingrown hairs
Since men shave daily, their face is more prone to redness, irritation, or acne breakouts. To help prevent this, try using a quality shaving cream with natural ingredients like tea tree oil or jojoba oil. Tea tree oil can also be used for post-shave redness and razor irritation.
Using natural ingredients in the shower
If you are short on time for proper skincare steps, try using products with natural ingredients like jojoba oil or witch hazel. To moisturize post-shower, use shea butter soap bars that contain natural oils to nourish and soften skin. Try not to rub dry but instead pat dry to avoid damaging sensitive facial skin.
Maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle
It is important to eat a healthy diet that contains essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, vitamin C and E, selenium, and lycopene. Drinking lots of water is also crucial because it helps flush toxins from the body, leaving us looking more refreshed.
