subject: Men's Skin Care 101 [print this page] Just like women, men need to have a proper skin care routine to maintain a healthy skin. For the men out there, your skin might be the last thing that you think about, but the truth is, your skin is the first thing that people see (and judge) so you better take skin care seriously. Let me share to you some things you should know about your skin as well as some tips on how to take care of it.
1. Cleanse. Cleansing is the first step in any skin care routine. It is also probably the most important favor that you can do to your face. But take note that cleaning doesn't mean washing your face with a regular bath soap. Using a bath soap in cleaning your face could leave your skin dryer than the Sahara desert. There are a plethora of products available in the market today that caters for men's skin. You don't have to buy the high end chichi cleansers out there. Just choose an alcohol free cleanser specially formulated for men to keep your sebum and comedones at bay. Your skin would thank you for it.
2. Exfoliate. It is very important to exfoliate your skin at least one to two times a week. Exfoliating deeply cleanses your skin and lifts up the debris that can't be removed by your daily cleanser. It also prevents you from having whiteheads, blackheads and zits. It also helps smoothen your facial skin and soften your hair follicles and ingrown hair (if you have some). It's best to exfoliate first before shaving to achieve that smooth, flawless shave.
3. Moisturize. Did you know that having dry skin is a sign of skin aging? To avoid this, always moisturize with a light moisturizer after washing your face. It's best to get a moisturizer with SPF so that you are moisturized and protected from the sun at the same time.
