We promise you that this text will not take up too much time, and we will give you simple and applicable tips.
Here we go now.
Clean it carefully
Don’t just grab the first soap and rub off your face with intense movement. This will dry out the skin, cause redness, and badly affect its structure.
Find a face cleanser that suits your type. A good product will help you thoroughly cleanse your face and remove any impurities from the pores that can lead to irregularities (pimples, blackheads, etc.).
Find an agent with the most natural ingredients and, if possible, tailored to your needs. There are numerous products available on the market for dry, oily, normal or combination skin.
You can even use natural cleansing oils as they will gently cleanse, without irritation. Of course, choose the oils according to your skin type:
-olive, coconut or almond oil for dry
-sage oil for a delicate type
-rosemary, jojoba or sesame oil for oily and combination skin
And if you still prefer industrial cosmetics then choose:
-Milk or face cleanser if you have dry
-Facial cleansing gel is a good choice for normal and combination types
-Oily acne prone skin can be helpful for an agent that is exactly the type that contains ingredients like salicylic acid, whose antibacterial action can have a positive effect
Whatever you choose, be gentle. Always apply the appropriate product to the type with light, massaging movements, without intensive rubbing.
Wash moderately
Washing too often can dry your face. Deep clean once or twice a day. If you decide to do it once a day, let it be in the evening. This will wash away any impurities and prepare you for regeneration.
While we sleep, the skin is resting from the many stressful situations we go through during the day. At the same time, it is also an opportunity to recover from the effects of the sun, wind, cold, air pollution and other external factors that cannot be protected during the day. In addition, during the night the cells undergo mitosis – a division with the help of which it is restored. Because of all this, it is important to clean your face before bed.
If you want to freshen up, especially during the summer months, wash with cold or lukewarm water without using cleansers. This will add a dose of hydration, without the negative consequences.
After washing, remove any excess water by gently tapping with a towel. Rough rubbing will lead to premature wrinkles.
Remove traces of sunscreen products
As much as they are allied during the day, creams with SPF factor can be an enemy of our skin at night. As some of the ingredients in these products cause damage to cells if they are also active at night, be sure to remove them before going to bed.
Use exfoliants
Exfoliation is not reserved for ladies only. It is indispensable in you because it removes impurities, loosens pores, and helps with regeneration. The natural process of cell regeneration leads to the buildup of dead cells, which if not removed regularly, can make it look rough and dry, with clogged pores. In addition, deep peeling paves the way for moisturizing products that penetrate deeper, making them more effective.
Also, peeling products are applied by massaging, helping to keep the skin soft and smooth. This will also make shaving easier and more detailed and will prevent the dull ingrown hairs.
Don’t neglect hydration
Regardless of whether you choose a moisturizer, light oil, or other product, regular hydration in your daily routine must be labeled “mandatory”.
Hydrate twice a day to maintain its elasticity. Hydration products are rich in vitamins and nutrients. In addition to nurturing, they also create a barrier that protects against external influences. Garnier is known for its great men’s care products.
Also choose this type of product relative to your type and apply it on a clean and dry face. For dry, choose products that have ingredients like olive and argan oil, shea butter and lanolin. Oily type also needs hydration, but choose moisturizers with lightweight structure and ingredients tailored to this skin type.
When hydrating, do not forget the eye area. This part of the face is prone to premature aging, so it is essential that you help it maintain its freshness and elasticity. This is especially important for men in their mature years, but it is never too early for adequate care. Use it daily, as irregular use will not produce results.
Apply with gentle movements as it is thinner in this area than in other parts of the face. And always choose moisturizing products intended for the area around the eyes, as inadequate creams and oils can clog pores and cause irritation.
And of course – pay attention to your lips. The skin on the lips does not have as much sebaceous glaze as the rest of the face has, so it tends to dry and crack easily. Use balm or coconut oil to keep your lips hydrated, gentle and nourishing. During the winter, be sure to intensify care.
Take care while shaving
For starters, always use a good razor. Choose sharp and quality instead of cheap. If using disposables, give preference to those with a double blade.
Wash with warm water before shaving. The heat of the water will soften your skin and hair follicles, making it easier to shave. This step is also important, of course, to remove traces of impurities and bacteria from the surface.
Apply shaving cream or gel to moist skin and leave for a few minutes to further soften the beard and facilitate shaving. Make sure you find a good shaving gel that will not irritate you.
Sun protection
The sun’s rays are among the 6 causes of premature aging.
Specifically, the skin aging process is about 80% related to the amount of sunlight we have been exposed to throughout our lives. Sun rays cause the appearance of wrinkles, aging spots, reduce elasticity and increase the risk of cancer. The one that has been exposed to the sun longer becomes dry, rough, full of wrinkles.
That is why it is important that you use sun protection products. Use moisturizing creams with SPF factor 15 in winter and 30 in summer.
