Men unlike women may not really be consumed with skincare routines. Since if they are rugged and rough, driven by other needs and desires, to pay attention to their skins. This goes without saying that both genders need to take care of themselves. It is neither a woman’s thing nor a man’s thing. Dermatologists recommend the following tips for men to develop healthy skin care routines:
1. Consider product labels and ingredients
The skincare products you choose will depend on your skin type. If you have acne-prone skin, look for cleansers and moisturizers that say “oil-free” or “non-comedogenic,” as these won’t clog your pores. If you have sensitive skin, use mild, “fragrance-free” products, as products containing fragrances can leave skin feeling irritated and dry.
2. Wash your face daily and after exercise
Because regular bar soap often contains harsh ingredients that can be drying to the skin, wash your face with a mild facial cleanser and warm water.
3. Watch your shaving technique
For some men, multi-blade razors can work too well or shave too closely to your skin. If you often experience razor bumps, razor burns, or ingrown hairs, use a single- or double-blade razor instead and do not stretch your skin taut while shaving.
4. Moisturize daily
Moisturizer works by trapping water in your skin, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and make your skin look brighter and younger. Apply moisturizer to your face and body immediately after bathing, showering or shaving while the skin is still damp.
5. Check your skin regularly
If you notice any suspicious spots, make an appointment to see a dermatologist. Men over age 50 have a higher risk of developing melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
6.Wear sunscreen whenever outdoors
To help prevent sun damage that can lead to wrinkles, age spots, and even skin cancer, before going outdoors, apply sunscreen to all exposed areas of skin, including your scalp, ears, neck, and lips. For best protection, use a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating.
