There’s a myriad of men’s skincare products out there including cleansing products, moisturizers, creams, lotions, serums, scrubs, peels, washes, and the list goes on and on. Then there are countless brands to choose from. So where do you start? Don’t worry, just remember this simple rule: The best skincare routines for men are the ones you will actually stick to! That means, keep it simple. A simple routine is a great way to take care of your skin keeping it vibrant, moisturized, and looking good.
Ingredients
Ingredients matter, but you don’t need to over-analyze each one. As a simple rule, choose products made with all-natural or organic ingredients. That way you can’t go wrong. As a backup rule, don’t use any products with ingredients you can’t say or spell! If it sounds like it was made in a chemistry lab, it’s because it was made in a chemistry lab. Synthetic and artificial ingredients are used because they are cheap to make. Cheap is not good when it comes to your skin.
Products
Remember, keep it simple. Start with the basics. We recommend finding a one men’s skincare product in each of the four categories below. When getting started, a little investment will last a lifetime. Do a little research, then purchase 2-3 different products from each category. Try them all, then select the one you like best out of each group.
- Soap or Body Wash
When it comes to a body soap, it’s a personal choice thing. Some people like bar soaps, some like liquid. Some people like strong scents, some like mild or even unscented. Pick what you like best, but keep in mind a few things. The soap needs to be moisturizing. Look for soaps that are made with essential and natural oils. Next, get a soap that is exfoliating. There are different levels of exfoliation that a soap can provide depending on your preference. BodyShield Scrub Soap has oatmeal in it and provides heavy exfoliation. Men like it because it feels great when you’re scrubbing down. But you may prefer less exfoliation. Find what you like best, or else you’ll drift away from your routine.
- Face Cleanser
There’s a wide variety of face cleansers, and they are quite particular to the type of skin you naturally have. Oil vs dry, acne-prone, etc. You will have to select a couple that you think are best, and test them. Don’t fall subject to the multi-step, multi-product cleanser systems. Remember, simple = consistent = results.
- Shaving Oil or Soap- if you shave
It’s probably quite obvious that the most common shaving products, shaving cream and shaving gel, are not listed in this category. Why? Because most of them contain artificial ingredients AND alcohol. Alcohol dries out your skin and causes things like razor burn, razor bumps, and ingrown hairs. Why not choose a product that not only will not cause those painful effects but will actually prevent them while providing additional benefits such as redness reduction, reduction in inflammation and more? Shaving oil is one of the little known secrets of great shaving. It acts as a great lubricant for an easy gliding blade, it forces water into the hair softening them and making them easier to cut. Nolabeaux’s BladeShield shave oil, as an example, contains 14 different essential oils each providing additional benefits toward ensuring your skin is left revived and nourished. It also has a special extra benefit unrelated to skincare, but we’ll save that for another time.
- Moisturizer
Ultimately it’s essential to keep your skin moisturized for the best skincare. Use a good moisturizer daily. Use it twice daily if you can. Don’t miss this most important last step. BTW, a good all natural shaving oil can also act as your moisturizer. Finally, be sure your moisturizer has a good SPF rating to block the harmful sun rays Skincare Gift Set For Him.
From this point forward, the routine is simple. Shower with a good soap, wash your face with a good cleanser, shave with a good shave oil, and apply your moisturizer. Repeat daily. Hopefully these essentials for Men's Skin Care Gift Set will get you started on a routine that will help your skin look great for a lifetime!
