Men skincare routine

You may think that Skincare is only for women, but the truth be told that men can benefit from looking after their Skin just as much as women do. However, the trouble with men is that they often won’t try anything out if they don’t know where to start.

So, with this in mind, we have decided to be a little shining beacon of light in the confusing world of men’s skincare. Guiding you through some of the most important steps that you need to take in order to look after your skin and improve your complexion.

Start your morning with a little bit of exfoliation

If you need to regularly shave, then it is a good idea to exfoliate before you tackle your chin fuzz. Not only does the process open up your pores and lift facial hairs, but it also gets rid of all of those dead skin cells and excess oils too. Both things that are known to cause acne issues.

Treat your beard with a bit of love

If you have decided that you are not going to shave, and instead cultivate some kind of beard bush, then you want to give your beard a treat. There are some awesome beard oils out there that are not only great for softening your facial hair, but also delivering a moisture hit to your skin too.

Make sure that your skin recovers from the shave with an after shave balm

Those guys that are shaving will need to think about their poor inflamed skin after they have gone at it with a razor. After shave balm is the ideal treat. It is packed full of moisture which is great to stop your skin drying out and becoming irritated, and it will also slough off of the dead skin cells too.

Sort your skin out after a busy day with a good cleanser

You would be surprised how dirty your skin gets throughout the day, this means that you should always plan in some time to give your skin a bit of a clean before you hit the hay. There are plenty of great cleansers out there to choose from, and they are designed to leave your skin feeling super clean. Check it out here

Try out some toner

This is one step that even women miss out on, so it comes as no surprise that plenty of men don’t use toner after they cleanse. Toner is great for cleaning off any residue that is left behind and there are some products out there that are designed to really reduce the amount of oil on your skin too. A double bonus. 

Suitable for all skin types, including dry and sensitive, Aesop’s Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Facial Toner soothes, rebalances and evens the appearance of skin without stripping moisture.

Fortified with an antioxidant-rich blend of Parsley Seed, Blue Chamomile and Lavender Stem, the lightweight tonic glides over the face and neck to eliminate traces of dirt and impurities after cleansing, whilst Witch Hazel refines pores and prepares for moisturiser. Restores a calm, comfortable complexion with a floral, herbaceous aroma. Buy here

End it with a splash of moisture

Your skin needs something to keep it nourished during the night time hours, which is why it is a good idea to make sure that you moisture it before bed. There are a variety of moisturizers out there to choose from and they all have different benefits to keep in mind. It really does depend on the type of skin that you have and what you want to achieve with your skincare routine.
