Man Skin Care

MORE SKIN CARE
Despite the growing trend for men to feel secure in borrowing their wives' and girlfriends' face creams, skincare is probably something most men know very little about. While some men might think that it involves nothing more than just choosing the right shaving equipment, others probably have visions of having to set the alarm 45 minutes earlier each morning in order to fit it all in and still be on time for work. A regular skincare routine takes very little time, and involves very little work. Just a few basic steps are all that's needed to improve the appearance of your skin and keep it looking that way.
In fact, the skin of man need cares too.A man's skin differs to that of a woman's in that testosterone generates a higher amount of secretions from the sebaceous glands making it oilier. Therefore, it's important to start any skincare routine with a good cleanser to remove dirt and impurities. Oily skin can lead to pimples and spots, so a cleanser is important in preventing blemishes. Regular bar soap is generally too harsh to be used on the face-even men's! Choose a cleanser or facial wash specifically designed for men, as not only will this remove the debris and excess oil from your skin, but it will also prepare it for shaving.
All women know the importance of moisturizer; it's the one product that very few women can do without. Moisturizing your face on a daily basis will limit the damage caused by environmental factors that can in turn lead to premature wrinkles and fine lines. A good moisturizer will contain UV protection (to protect against the sun's rays and guard against premature wrinkling), and anti-oxidants (to help prevent damage caused by pollutants and other harmful environmental elements). UV protection is important all year round, as UV rays are present in the winter and on cloudy days.
If your skin is particularly greasy and prone to break-outs, avoid a moisturizer containing lanolin as this can aggravate acne and skin blemishes. When it comes to buying a moisturizer look out for the following terms on the packaging: non-comedogenic (this means it won't clog pores), dermatology tested, fragrance-free, preservative-free, recommended by dermatologists (particularly important if your skin is sensitive). Moisturizer should be applied to a dry, freshly cleansed face, morning and evening. If you suffer with dry skin then applying moisturizer immediately after showering will help lock in moisture.
Applying a face mask is another part of the male skincare routine that can help a man's skin look years younger. Skin masks can also smooth the skin so that shaving becomes easier. Clay-based masks are good for oily/acne-prone skin, while cream-based masks are more suited to dry skins.
Remember this: a man need skin care too. Don't think that the man's skin no need beauty; you must think a handsome man must have good skin. Do you want to be a handsome man? Then do it.
