A good skincare routine is very important. You can have great hair and walk around in the latest fashion, but when your skin looks red, has quite a lot of zits or acne, then unfortunately the attention will go there instead of your nice hair or wardrobe. That is why this blogpost will teach you about 5 must-have skincare products for men.

Skincare products for men

There are a lot of different skincare products for men nowadays and I attend to add more and more of them to the shop. But what products do you really need and what do they do? How often should you use it and what are the effects of these products? I will talk about 5 basic skincare products for men to send you on your way.

1. Face Wash

A face wash is the most basic skincare product for men and a perfect one to start with. In the old days men maybe used a bar of soap to clean their face, but nowadays that will probably be a face wash. The most important aspect of a face wash for men is that it should cleanse your skin without drying it too much. So pick a mild face wash that you can use everyday. When you really have oily skin you should get a face wash that cleanses your skin a bit more deeply.

2. Face Scrub

Compared to woman's skin, men have thicker skin with bigger pores. That results in a slightly oilier skin. Without the use of good skincare products for men that can result in clogged pores and inflammation of the skin. That is why it is important to remove dead skin cells with a good face scrub for men. Using this product you basically scrape the dead skin cells that can cause impurities off your skin. You should not use a face scrub every day. Twice a week is a good number to use it.

3. Moisturizer

Men-U Matt Moisturiser

The third skincare product for men I want to talk about is a moisturizer. When you are setting up a good skincare routine as a man you cannot forget the moisturizer. Face washes and face scrubs have the tendency to dry out the skin a little bit when cleansing it and it is almost impossible to prevent this from happening. That maybe seems great when you have oily skin you think, but it definitely is not. When your skin is dry, it will overcompensate and start producing extra sebum to counter the dryness which will result in an oily skin. So, after the use of a face wash or face scrub it is recommended to always use a good moisturizer to restore the moisture balance of your skin. Men that do have oily skin just should use a little bit less compared to men with normal skin. Start with a little bit and add more moisturizer when you feel your skin needs it.

4. Clay mask

I know, I know, a clay mask sounds feminine and you already start thinking of slices of cucumbers on your eyes. But as a man you can definitely use a clay mask as well, but you can leave the cucumber slices. A clay mask is an important skincare product for men to deeply cleanse your pores to prevent them from getting clogged. It also stimulates skin renewal and diminishes a shiny or oily skin. A clay mask is a great addition to the other skincare products for men and should be used about once a week. Leave it for about 10 minutes and then peel it off gently. Do not forget to use a good moisturizer afterwards.

5. Face toner

The last product skincare product for men I want to talk about is a face toner. A toner prevents dirt and impurities to add up and cleanses your skin deeply. Men's skin sometimes makes too much sebum and that can cause inflammation of the pores and skin. A facial toner will combat this. Especially your T-zone, the area of your forhead and the area around your nose deserves some extra attention. A face toner can be used daily. To apply it, it is best to use a cotton pad or swab and put it on your skin. This product is the last one I wanted to talk about and will help to improve your skincare routine as a man.

Conclusion about skincare products for men

I hope you are convinced now that there is no taboo anymore when it comes to men and their skincare routine. Everybody should have a good morning routine to aim for that flawless skin. So, most mornings you can use a face wash and then use a face toner. When you are done with these two you should add a nice moisturizer and you are on your way. About twice per week you should add a face scrub to the mix after using your daily face wash and once a week it advisable to apply a good clay mask. You can do this in the weekend for example. I am not going to lie, it is indeed quite the routine, but it will be worth it. Hopefully this blogpost helps you to get your skincare routine started and of course I have quite a lot of skincare products for men added to the shop, so have a look and good luck!
