Facial care for men

With these tips, you care for your face properly

As a modern man, you certainly always want to look well-groomed and look fresh. This not only makes a good impression on your fellow human beings, but you also feel better with the right care. I help you on this website with personal tips and various product tests.

We men have it easier than women in terms of facial care. Our skin is much more robust and can withstand environmental influences much better, so less attention is needed. For soft, clean skin and a smooth shave or a thin beard are still some things in the morning and evening routine to consider.

The most important rule for the treatment of your skin

As already mentioned, our skin is different from that of women. So you need other care products than, for example, your partner. Therefore: Stay away from products for women!

The reason for this is that women's products, such as Creams seem greasy. Women need this for protection. Men skin, however, not or only very little, because our pores usually produce more sebum (fat film on the surface) and the skin is also much thicker. In the face, we are always the tough guys. 😉

Various influences on the facial skin of the man

Not only with different products, you can care for your face, but also with a healthy lifestyle. 

Unhealthy and greasy food damages your skin, as well as alcohol, cigarettes, stress and lack of sleep. You should, therefore, follow the following tips:

• A healthy diet for the care of the skin with essential vitamins.
• Drink plenty of water, so that the fluid requirement is covered since the skin is always the first water withdrawn in shortages.
• It is refraining from alcohol and cigarettes, even if it can be difficult.
• Enough sleep at night (at least 6-7 hours)
• Minimize stress at work and reduce it regularly with, for example, sports.
• Every day in the fresh air - well combined with sports.

Facial care ingredients for men

What does it take to care for a man's face properly? In a nutshell: 3 things. The regular cleaning, the close shave or the beard care for beards and finally the attention of the skin.

The gentle facial cleansing for men

In the day (and the night) accumulates all sorts of dirt on the facial skin. Bacteria, sebum and dead skin clog pores, which can cause blackheads and pimples. It is, therefore, morning and evening wash the face thoroughly.

For cleaning usually includes a wash gel and optionally a tonic. Both agents remove any dirt from the skin and pores and additionally refine the overall skin appearance. You must pay particular attention to the fact that the products are suitable for your skin type. Otherwise, you could harm your skin and take it, e.g. too dry and irritated.

For daily cleansing with the wash gel, you can still put a facial cleansing brush. These brushes (manual or electric) offer you an even more thorough cleaning with fine bristles, which can solve the dirt even better.

Now and then I can still recommend the use of a scrub. This carries off dead skin cells, which could clog the pores. More often than once a week, you should not use such a scrub. The skin is otherwise stressed too much.

The right shave for us men

Another part of facial care is, of course, the shaving of the beard. It is the trend to leave the beard, but even then it takes a bit of attention. Bear Care will be available soon under the chapter "Care".

When shaving, you first have to decide if you want to cut wet or dry. The wet shave is considered particularly skin-friendly and thorough. It acts as peeling for the skin.

A dry shave with an electric razor is especially recommended if you suffer from many blemishes such as pimples. Also, you save a little time in the morning with this shave. Whichever option you choose depends on your skin type, time and personal preference.

For wet shaving, you need shaving gel or shaving cream. Again, you can decide for yourself what you would prefer to use. Both work very well for thorough shaving. Afterwards, you should always use an aftershave. Such remedies prevent skin irritation and soothe facial skin. I would always fall back on an aftershave balm.
