Even though most skin care lines target primarily to women, men’s skin need some loving too. Here are the top 6 tips for men when it comes to skin care.

Top 6 Skin Care Tips for Men

1.) Lather and Lotion Everyday!

Everyone can be guilty of being tired and just crashing in bed but your skin really needs the opportunity to rejuvenate after a long day. It is best to wash and moisturize morning and night, but night time washing and moisturizer is essential. You walk through pollutants and free radicals throughout the day and really need to purge your skin from those and the product you may have used that day. It also gives your skin the ability to balance itself and breath through the night.

2.) Sunscreen

Almost any dermatologist will tell you the number one recommendation they have for their patients is sunscreen. Sunscreen is not just for daytime activities, but it is also for everyday wear. Not only will sunscreen help keep you looking younger and limit age spots and freckles, but it also helps protect your skin from melanoma.

3.) Be Selective

More is not also better. When you apply many products to the face it can become irritated, especially if they contain fragrances. Plus, most men don’t want to spend the time to wash, exfoliate, moisturize, and apply serums, aftershave, and sunscreen. Think of multi-functioning products that give the one-two punch. Try a face wash with a mild daily exfoliant and a moisturizer that can act as an aftershave with sunscreen.

4.) Drink Water

Who hasn’t heard they need to drink more water??? Not only is it vital for overall health, but drinking water also keeps your skin hydrated and more radiant.

5.) Lifestyle

What you eat will show on your skin. If sugary treats are your go to it can show on your face. Breakouts are a common side effect from a sweet tooth. A lack of a balanced diet will also manifest in many different ways but duller and aging skin will also be a symptom. Sleeping is also key to your skin’s vitality. Sleeping Beauty as on to something, beauty rest is a real thing. A full night’s sleep allows your skin to balance and rejuvenate and helps to eliminate those tired bags from hanging around the eyes.

6.) Shave with the Grain

It may seem that a smoother shave comes from pushing the blade against the grain, but this does no favor to your skin. Shaving with the grain is much less irritating and helps prevent nicks, cuts, ingrown hairs, and breakouts. Just trust us and go with the grain, and your skin will thank you.
