Mens skincare

Skincare covers everything from your face to your toes. The two most important aspects of skincare for men are cleansing and moisturising. It is essential to distinguish between face care and body care. These two areas require different products for an optimal men's skincare routine.

The difference between skincare products for your face and your body is that the skin on your face is thinner and more sensitive. The rest of your body has slightly thicker skin. So, a body scrub is far too harsh to use on your face. Compared to women, men also have slightly thicker skin, which requires different products.

Skincare for men

There are loads of skincare products available for men. You’ve got facial products and body products. The basics are a good cleanser and a decent moisturiser, but a good men's skincare routine consists of some more products.

For your face, you can use a facial cleanser and moisturiser, while for your body, a body wash and body lotion will do the trick. That is really the minimum for a proper skincare routine as a man. If you want to go for the best men's skincare routine, you can also look into face scrubs, face masks, toners, and serums for your face. For the rest of your body, you might consider body scrubs, deodorants, body lotion, and hand cream.

And then there is a whole separate category when it comes to anti-ageing products. These are usually only for your face. It is an interesting range of skincare, especially once you’re past thirty.

When should men use skincare products?

I can understand that all the different skincare products for men can feel overwhelming. That is why it is always best to start simple with a face wash and moisturiser to look after your face, and a good body wash with body lotion to keep the rest of your body fresh and hydrated.

That way, you’ve already covered the basics, and these products are easy to use in the morning or when you shower. You can always add more products to your routine later if you notice your skin needs it or when you are just curious to try something new.

A good men's skincare routine means cleansing and moisturising your face at least once a day. And it’s really the bare minimum to have a shower at least every other day.

Best men's skincare

Now that you know the minimum you should do for your skincare routine, it’s of course useful to know which brands are worth checking out. Even as a man, you’ll want to use natural skincare products. Healthy ingredients and nourishing extracts are just as important for men as they are for women.

One brand to mention regarding top skincare products for men is Brickell Men’s Products. This brand keeps its formulas as natural as possible and uses a high percentage of organic ingredients. Their skincare products also contain no parabens or sulphates, and many of them are even vegan. This brand really has everything you could want – you’ll find over a 100 products from Brickell in the Moquer shop. They also offer a lot of fragrance-free men's skincare products, so great for sensitive skin.

Another men’s brand with a very extensive and solid range of men's skincare products is Baxter of California. This brand has been around for decades and knows what men need. They offer skincare for both face and body. They’ve also got some great eau de parfums and solid hair styling products, but that’s a side note.

A final brand worth mentioning is Lumin Skin. They offer very good skincare products for men, inspired by Korean skincare. Korean skincare is booming, and this brand has really learned from that with its natural formulas and healthy extracts. Their skincare range for men is mainly focused on your face, and they also have great anti-ageing skincare products.

This is just a small selection from the Moquer shop, because we stock many other brands. Some may have a smaller skincare range, but they are just as good. Hopefully this has helped you get started in the world of mens skincare.
