Some men make the mistake of thinking that, unlike women, they do not need to regularly care for their skin. Others are under the impression that using their girlfriend’s skincare products once a month will suffice. However, men who wish to maintain a healthy and youthful appearance must invest in a skincare routine, which involves understanding the difference between various skincare products available for men and the proper ways of using them.
Step One
Dislodge ingrown hairs and prevent razor bumps by using a glycolic facial cleanser or a scrub before shaving.
Step Two
Apply sunscreen to your face and body before participating in outdoor sports such as surfing or skiing---no matter what season it is. Do not forget to apply the product to bald spots, which can result in unexpected sunburn if neglected.
Step Three
Make it a habit to wash your face twice a day. Whether you use a cream cleanser or another type of product, apply it to the face with a damp washcloth using a circular motion.
Step Four
Reduce the appearances of pores by treating them with an over-the-counter product such as toner or scrub that contains salicylic acid. If regularly cleaning your pores does not produce satisfactory results, consider having a professional men's facial.
