- Cleanse
If you do nothing else, cleansing is the single most important thing you can do for your face. A good cleanser will help deep clean and remove debris in the pores that can lead to blemishes. Using an ordinary bar soap would dry out your skin so instead try out a soap that is infused with natural oils to deeply cleanse away dirt.
2. Exfoliate
What about all that nasty stuff deep down in your pores or dull, dry skin? Using a facial/body scrub every few days will get rid of dead skin and dirt that doesn’t come off with your daily wash. Exfoliating leaves the skin feeling healthier and brighter and prepares the skin for shaving by softening the hairs and skin, making for a smoother, closer shave with less irritation.
3. Moisturize
Whether you use a cream, a light oil, or another product, it’s a good idea to moisturize your skin every day after washing. Using a light balancing moisturizer will help with skin that feels oily and moisturizing will keep your skin looking young, healthy and wrinkle-free. Moisturizing also helps your skin retain its elasticity and help soothe the skin even after shaving.
4. Eyes
Not everyone is into eye creams, and honestly sometimes we forget to take care of the skin around that area but eye creams are very important to use, especially as we start to age. The skin there is more apt to start sagging over time, and using cream will keep it looking fresh. Moisturizing in this area is especially important for older men, but it’s never too early to start incorporating this into your routine.
5. Lips
The skin on our lips doesn’t have as many oil glands as the rest of the face, so lips are prone to getting dry and cracked very easily. Men look good with well-moisturized and clean lips and sometimes exposure to harsh weather conditions can harm the lips. A good lip balm usually contains moisturizing agents olive oil or sunflower seed oil. Vitamin E is also included to maintain healthy lips.
Always remember to take care of yourself by incorporating a healthy lifestyle to your daily life.
