Men's Skin Care
‘Man skin care’ would seem
like an alien topic to some men. It would have been even more alien a few
years back. However, more and more men are now realizing the importance of
man skin care (and hence you see markets flush with man skin care products
too). Even though the male skin is very different from that of a female,
‘man skin care’ is very similar to the skin care for women.
‘Man skin care’ too starts with cleansing. Water soluble cleansers are
preferred. Cleansing helps remove the dirt, grease and pollutants from the
skin and helps in preventing pore clogging. The inherent oily nature of
male skin makes cleansing an important part of man skin care procedure.
Cleansing should be done at least once every day, even better if it is
done twice a day. Using soap on the face is discouraged.
‘Man skin care’ revolves a lot around shaving. Shaving foam/gel/cream and
after shave lotion are one of the most important man skin care products.
Serious ‘man skin care’ requires a proper selection of shaving related
equipment and products. One of the main considerations in choosing shaving
products should be the skin type (since the degree of oiliness differs
from person to person). Alcohol-based aftershaves should be avoided.
Proper ‘man skin care’ also mandates the use of good quality razors. Here,
swivel-head razors are preferred since they are known to reduce cuts.
Besides these products and equipment, it is also necessary that you use
them properly. Be gentle when using your razor. Do not scratch it against
your skin; use a soft and smooth action (after all it’s a matter of
removing hair, not the skin itself).
Male skin is generally thicker and oilier, owing to larger pores and more
active sebaceous glands. However, due to regular shaving, the skin can get
dehydrated quite easily. Hence moisturizers too form an integral part of
man skin care. Moisturizing gel or cream should be applied after shaving.
In fact, some shaving foams/ gel have an in-built moisturizing effect too.
Moisturizers should be patted gently over the face and massaged gently
using upward strokes.
Though a man’s skin is less susceptible to skin cancer caused by UV
radiation, using a sunscreen is also an important man skin care measure.
You can use a moisturizer that combines sunscreen with the moisturizing
effect.
Another good option for ‘man skin care’ is to use man skin care products
which have natural ingredients like aloe Vera, sea salt and coconut etc.
Naturally antiseptic oils e.g. lavender, tea tree etc also provide good
means for man skin care.
Man skin care is not as difficult as a lot of men think. It just asks for
a few minutes every day, in order to give you a healthy skin for present
and for future.
