Men’s Skin Care – Easy Steps For Men
September 27, 2008 by Amanda Beaty
In this day and time even men should take good care of their skin. Women are not the only ones that should do skin care. Many manufacturers have now realized that men are in the market for products to use on their skin. Men's skin care products such as face wash and body wash are seen in the stores now. We need to examine how men need to care for their skin.
Men's pores are a bit larger in size than women's and their skin usually is a bit oilier too. This helps dirt collect on the skin and clog pores. This means that men need to cleanse their skin with a similar routine as women have used for years. Soap is not the best cleanser for the face because it usually is too rough on the skin and does not completely rinse off. Face washes and body washes are much better designed for this task.
Facial washes deep clean the face and rinse clean leaving no film whatsoever. Getting the pores unclogged and free from dirt allows the skin to look clean and healthy because it is truly clean. Men can also use some of the same products women have been using too along with the men's products. But men usually feel less self-conscious buying and using men's products. You can even now find the organically based cleansers that so many like to use.
Cleansing is not the only thing you need to do to take care of your skin. You need to tone it too. To return the skin to the proper PH you have to use a toner after washing it. There are many different brands of toners in the stores today. You may have try more than one to find the one you like. As with the cleansers you can find one that is naturally based. You will love how your skin feels after giving it a good cleaning and toning.
A good routine to get into is shaving first then cleansing and toning. Then gently rub on some moisturizer that is water based. The water based ones are a less greasy and that is what your skin needs men. The moisturizer should be free of alcohol too because that dries the skin out and counteracts the moisturizing effect.
Skin cells do die when they get to the surface of your skin. You need to most of the time remove these for they do not always fall off by themselves. This process for removing dead skin cells is called ex foliation. You can use special products on the market today for this purpose and should do this at least once a week. You usually do this after cleansing or along with cleansing your face. Some face washes may ex foliate too.
For the body there are many different types of body washes you can wash with. These like the facial wash mixtures cleanse better and rinse away better than soap does. The cosmetic industry is now realizing that men need these products specifically designed for them and is bringing out more products all the time.
Sunscreen needs to be discussed now. UVA and UVB rays from the sun can be very harmful to the skin causing anywhere from sunburns to skin cancer in a men and women both. You men are usually outside in the elements more than women so you need sunscreen even more than they do. A good sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher is recommended if you are going to be outside for any length of time. You will also have to redo the application of it throughout the day. Lip balm with a high SPF is also recommended for your lips.
Exercise and proper diet can help the skin too by stimulating it from the inside to be healthy. Drink the right amount of water too. Smoking and drinking alcohol can do harm to the skin so if you must do these things please do them in moderation. Men if you follow the few tips given here you will soon see a vast improvement in the health of your skin.
