Men's facial care is no longer just a trend, but an almost mandatory daily routine. Every man deserves to discover the importance of facial care, maintaining a healthy and refreshed skin. Below you will find the basic steps you need to follow for your daily skincare.

Skin Types

• Normal: does not create reactions and shows resistance to a variety of skincare products.
• Dry: can exhibit red and dehydrated areas, especially when exposed to low temperatures, showing sensitivity.
• Sensitive: reacts differently to various products, often manifesting as rash, itching, redness, or a burning sensation when trying new products.
• Oily: tends to break out or have issues with acne due to increased sebum production.
• Combination: exhibits different properties in different parts of the face, with the area around the center being oily, while other areas, such as the cheeks, may be dry.

Skincare Routine

Step 1: Facial Cleansing

Facial cleansing is the essential step to start your skincare routine. To remove bacteria, excess sebum, dirt, and oil that can cause imperfections and skin problems, it is good to use a facial cleanser with a balanced pH.

• If you have dry or sensitive skin, try using a cream-based facial cleanser.
• If you have oily or combination skin, it is better to use a foam cleanser.

By using the right cleanser for your skin, your pores will be cleansed and you will get rid of the annoying shine.

Tip: Clean your face in the morning and evening.

Step 2: Hydration

Hydration is the second important step in a facial care routine. Moisturizers provide the necessary moisture your skin needs. Hydration helps maintain the elasticity of the skin, protects against dryness and wrinkles, and creates a healthy and radiant complexion.

Tip: Apply your moisturizer in the morning and evening.

Step 3: Eye Cream

Eyes are a sensitive area that requires special care. Eye creams usually contain special ingredients that help reduce wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles around the eyes.

Tip: Gently apply the eye cream with the tip of your finger to avoid pulling and irritation.

Step 4: Sunscreen

Sunscreen is an ally in protecting the skin from the sun's ultraviolet radiation, which causes premature aging of the skin. Choose a sunscreen product with a suitable SPF protection factor for your skin type.

Tip: Apply sunscreen daily, even when you are not exposed to the sun.

Shaving

Shaving is one of men's main concerns, but by following the steps below, you will have healthy and irritation-free skin. 

• Preparation with warm water: Before you start shaving, prefer to clean your face with warm water. This makes the hair softer and reduces the risk of irritation.
• Choose a gentle cream or oil: Use a gentle and moisturizing shaving cream or oil to protect the skin from rashes and ingrown hairs.
• Shave in the direction of hair growth: Shave in the direction of your hair growth to reduce irritation. If you have sensitive skin, using a protective razor may be helpful.
• Use a scrub: If you have problems with ingrown hairs, you can use an exfoliating product, such as a gentle face scrub, a few times a week to remove dead skin cells.
• Aftershave: All men should use aftershave after shaving, as it prevents infections and soothes the skin from any irritations. There are different types of aftershave, such as lotions and balms, that aim to moisturize the skin.

Tip: Avoid using alcohol-based aftershaves.

Beard Care

The mustache offers charm to a man, but it needs care and attention.

• Cleansing: Wash your mustache regularly with warm water and a gentle cleanser, as sweat, dust, sebum, and bacteria can get trapped under the hairs.
• Detangling: If your mustache is dense, use a mustache comb or brush.
• Grooming: Use a specialized mustache balm to give shine and softness.
• Moisturizing: Just like the skin, the mustache needs hydration. Use a little mustache oil or moisturizing product to maintain its softness and healthy appearance.

Tip: Oil has nurturing properties, provides hydration, and keeps the skin on the face soft, while balm acts as a styling product that gives volume and shape to the mustache, locks in moisture, and gives you soft facial skin.
