Women have tons of skincare products, but are there the same for men? Key points to keep in mind when it comes to men's skincare

Some men don't pay any attention to facial care, washing their faces is just a formality.
Some even skip cleanser and use only water. Even worse, some just apply some on their face while shampooing!
Skin care isn't just about maintenance; it's about protecting, improving, and delaying skin aging!!

Men's and women's skincare is very different

While women have tons of skincare products, do men have the same?

From puberty to their forties,
men's skin is generally oily, dull, with enlarged pores, acne, and breakouts.
Sebum secretion increases with age, while the opposite is true for women. Because the skin is acidic, it produces oil and sweat, resulting in dry, oily skin (combination skin).

Maintenance Principles

  1. Shaving / Besides stubble, it also removes the skin's stratum corneum and sebum barrier.
    With the stratum corneum and sebum barrier reduced, the skin becomes fragile. Continuous shaving can cause inflammation and pigmentation.
  2. Ultraviolet rays / Compared to women, men are less aware of sun protection, so their skin suffers more severe cumulative UV damage over time.

4 Simple Skin Care Steps for High-Quality Male Skin

Step 1 / Develop a good cleaning habit
Cleansing is always the most important daily step, yet it's also the most easily overlooked.
If you don't clean away dirt and excess oil, no amount of skincare will help.

Step 2 / Maintain your skin before and after shaving
It's said that dry beard has the same strength as a copper wire of the same thickness. Therefore, it's important to wash your face with warm water before shaving to soften the beard. Post-shaving skin is more fragile, so avoid using irritating skincare products.

Step 3 / Don't forget your moisturizer
To protect your skin and prevent any issues, it's recommended to apply an alcohol-free, non-irritating after-shave product to your shaved face.
This will replenish moisture, soothe any redness, swelling, or discomfort. It can also prevent dryness, itching, or flaking.

Step.4 / Protect your skin with sunscreen
Men and women, regardless of skin type, should always remember to protect their skin from the sun! Whenever you go out, regardless of weather, UV rays are released, which can accelerate skin aging, cause dryness, fine lines, and the formation of melanin and age spots.
