Care For Skin (Men)

Men are usually ignorant about skin care and don’t follow a regime. But it is important to take care of the skin and follow some routine to ensure that skin is smooth in all the seasons. As the addage goes, “Prevention is better than cure” so even if you don’t have any skin problems, take care of it while it is problem-free. There are many external pollutants that we cannot think of, which have harmful effects on skin. So indulge in some me time everyday to ensure that you don’t face the music from your woman. We share some skin essentials to make daily skin care easy.

1) Avoid using soap since it can dry your skin, instead use shower gels. Wash your face with a face wash at least two times in a day, tone it up with a toner to close any open pores.

2) Exfoliation is required at least once in a week but ensure that your exfoliator doesn’t have hard particles, scrubbing shouldn’t cause skin abrasion. Use a gentle face scrub with mild granules, remember too much exfoliation is not good so do it once in a week.

3) Most men assume that they don’t need sunscreen but the truth is that everyone needs a sunscreen even children. And we need sun protection throughout the year. The Ultraviolet rays of sun can penetrate the thickest of clouds, hence if you think you don’t need sunscreen during winter or monsoon, think again. You need to save your skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays throughout the year.

When at beaches or pool, use a water resistant sunscreen, it is a must have. Also any outdoor sports activity would call for sunscreen application. Look for a lotion with SPF 15 and above, anything less than that is of no good.
