HI-REVIEW: Men's Daily Skin Care Routine 🧖🏻‍♂️

This blog’s for all the boys out there!

We get a lot of questions from guys wanting to know if they can use they same products as all the girls, and the answer quite simply is: YES!

It’s just as important for all the guys out there to have clear and healthy skin, so we’ve gone ahead and made a simplified routine for you all, including the most essential steps for you to take care of your skin, so that you can look your best!

STEP ONE: CLEANSER 

WHY: Cleansing is essential because it helps to thoroughly remove any dirt and impurities that can cause breakouts. Water based cleansers dissolve impurities such as dirt and sweat.

WHAT: NEOGEN "REAL FRESH FOAM CLEANSER GREEN TEA"

This gentle and hydrating foam cleanser is soothing and refreshing and washes away any impurities without irritation, helping to make your skin smoother and fresher. 

HOW: Pump 1 to 2 times and gently massage all over wet face & Rinse off with lukewarm water. 

Use Day☀️ & Night🌙

STEP TWO: TONER

WHY: After cleansing, you need to rehydrate your skin, and that’s why it’s so important to use a toner. Toners help to repair your natural skin barrier, balance the moisture and ph levels of your skin and also prepare your skin to better absorb any following treatments or products!

WHAT: BENTON "ALOE BHA SKIN TONER"

Instead of water as the first ingredient, Benton have used aloe leaf water, known for its cooling, soothing and healing properties. This toner will help to supply moisture, remove dead skin cells and clear blackheads while improving the natural skin barrier and preventing future skin damage.

HOW: After cleansing, use 2 to 3 pumps and gently rub into your face (and neck) and pat to aid absorption.

Use Day☀️ & Night🌙

STEP THREE: MOISTURISER

WHY: Moisturiser is essentially the finishing touch! It helps to seal in all the moisture and protect your skin from becoming dry and damaged.

WHAT: COSRX "OIL-FREE ULTRA MOISTURIZING LOTION (WITH BIRCH SAP)"

The OIL-FREE Ultra-Moisturising Lotion is perfect for guys as it’s a lightweight and non-greasy lotion, with a pleasant fresh scent and will help to improve your skin tone and texture.

HOW: After toning, apply 3 pumps (one for each section of your face) onto your palm and gently smooth over your skin, until fully absorbed.

* Increase or decrease the number of pumps, depending on skin condition (eg dryness).

Use Day☀️ & Night🌙

STEP FOUR: SUN CARE

WHY: Sunscreen is a must - even if you’re inside! It’s the best way to prevent premature aging and skin cancer! Apply sunscreen as the last step in your morning routine, so it doesn’t get diluted by other products, and protects your skin from damaging UV rays.

WHAT: MISSHA "AQUA SUN GEL"

The Missha Aqua Sun Gel is water and sweat resistant, so it’s perfect for those hot days outside! It’s a lightweight water based sun screen with moisturising and cooling benefits, and it absorbs quickly into the skin, without the dreaded white cast!

HOW: Use as the last step of your morning routine, 15-30 minutes prior to exposure to the sun. Smooth a decent amount onto your face, and reapply often during periods of prolonged exposure to the sun.
