SKINCARE FOR MEN: A SHORT GUIDE FROM BAD ACE

SKINCARE FOR MEN: A SHORT GUIDE FROM BAD ACE

Gone are the days when skincare was only for women. As more men are increasingly becoming aware of the benefits of following a skincare routine, many new products are being made specifically for men and their skin. Men cannot get away using the same skincare products as women as they have thicker skin that produces more sebum than that from an average woman's skin.  

Regular shaving causes the skin to become more sensitive and reactive as compared to a woman's skin. It causes them to become more prone to skin-related issues such as the skin's ingrown hair and redness. Daily use of products specifically made to target these problems in men's skin can show fast results when used consistently.

Skin Care Tips for Men

Men deserve the same level of pampering available to women. Your skin deserves to feel fresh and hydrated so that you can take the day head-on and with confidence. Following is a quick guide that allows you to make better skincare related decisions when choosing the right product for yourself.

1.    Understand your skin type

Before you can choose a product for your skin, you need to understand your skin type. Using a product for a skin type that is not yours can exacerbate the condition. For instance, using products made for oily skin can be too drying for your dry skin type. On the other hand, using products formulated specifically for dry skin can increase sebum production in your already oily skin.

So, if you are unsure what your skin type is. In that case, you can fix this by cleaning your face thoroughly and removing any sebum that may have accumulated throughout the day. Wait 30 minutes, and check the state of your skin. Ensure you don't partake in any intense physical activity that may change your skin's normal sebum production.

Observe your skin after 30 minutes. If it feels parched, and if changing your facial expression to smile or frown is uncomfortable, your skin is most likely dry.

On the other hand, if you see a shine on your forehead, cheeks, or chin, the chances are that your skin is oily.

You can also use a blotting sheet to determine the skin type. Take a piece of blotting paper and gently press it against your skin. If the sheet has a lot of oil on it, it points towards an oily skin type. Whereas, if the sheet has little to no oil on it, you are most likely someone with dry skin.

2.     Try products made for your specific skin problems

You will be better off selecting products made to tackle whatever specific problem you are suffering from, such as acne and blackheads or dull skin.

Not a lot of products will tackle all your skin problems. However, suppose you do not have a specific skin problem that you want to work on and want a good face wash or moisturizer. In that case, you can go for general purifying products.

3.     Read the ingredients carefully

Do not just trust the brand name of the product. It is crucial to read and research the ingredients used in the face wash or cleanser.

Many big-name brands seem to get away using products that are not safe and may cause irritation post-application. These ingredients include but are not limited to:

Parabens

Parabens are used in skin care products as preservatives to keep them fresh for longer. Parabens can cause mutations in the body that can cause cancer. These parabens are not just harmful to humans using the product; studies show that there has been a recent surge in parabens in sealife. The parabens in their body most likely come from the products that we use and dispose of.

Formaldehyde

It is also a very common antibacterial preservative used by brands in their skincare products. Like Parabens, Formaldehyde is a known human carcinogen and may lead to various health issues.

4.     Exfoliating goes a long way

Exfoliating once or twice a week can be very beneficial for your skin. By exfoliating before you shave, you are essentially removing the bacteria on your skin, leading to post-shave irritation.

Exfoliation also removes the build-up of dead skin that accumulates on top of your skin daily. If these dead skin cells are not removed often, it can lead to razor bumps and ingrown hair that can be very painful.

If you have sensitive skin, you should do a patch test with your product before adding exfoliation to your skincare routine.

Remember not to overdo it. Exfoliating your skin every day can be harmful to your skin if it removes too much of its natural oils. Removing natural oils can cause a breakout and exacerbate your skin problems.

5.     Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize!

Moisturizing your skin has a lot of benefits and can prevent any possible skin problems from developing. Moisturizing prevents your skin from getting rough and ensures your skin looks radiant by keeping your skin cells hydrated and healthy.

When using a daily moisturizer, make sure you are gentle with your skin and evenly distribute the product on your skin without rubbing your skin too much.

Many people think moisturizing is an optional step. In contrast, the truth is that moisturizing every day can help fight wrinkles and keeps your skin looking young and radiant.
