The Gentleman's Guide To Skin Care
Proper skin care and nourishment is just as important for a man as it is for a woman
. In fact, in many ways, it's more important.
Not only are men more likely to perspire, they tend to pick up more oil, dirt and other contaminants. The daily ritual of shaving can dry out the skin, as it strips away natural moisture and can lead to chafing and roughness. Even men with facial hair can be prone to clogged pores and hair follicles, which can lead to breakouts, rough skin, irritations and sometimes possible infections.
Luckily, following a skin care regime is really quite simple. The three basic steps are cleansing, moisturizing and protecting.
Cleansing: Wash your face twice a day with a mild, soap free cleanser. If you are prone to oily or dry skin, products that are made for these problems are obviously the best choice. When you wash, start by rinsing the face with hot water. Rub the cleanser on in circular motions to help penetrate the pores and gently massage and exfoliate. This will prevent the build up of dirt in the pores. Once you're done cleansing, splash your face with cold water at least ten times. This will close the open pores, making it difficult for dirt to find its way in.
Moisturizing: There are moisturizers specifically designed for use by men. You should always apply a light moisturizer after washing to help replenish and nourish the skin. Facial skin can be prone to bouts of dryness, especially when exposed to weather, sports, heavy persperation and so on. There is nothing rugged or handsome about dry skin.
Protect: Sunburn causes discoloured areas of skin, can lead to skin cancer and other diseases, as well as causing skin to flake and peel. A good sunblock should be applied even for short excursions in the sun. Men often forget to reapply after heavy activity, so keep a bottle handy to reapply after cutting the grass, swimming or playing sports. Again, perspiration can wash away the sunblock, so always have some on hand to protect your skin.
Neglecting your skin is not a guy thing, it's a silly thing. Your face will stay with you throughout your life, so you should be taking steps to keep it looking its best at all times.
