Men's skin care: From basics to advanced

Men's skin care is an investment in health and appearance. The right routine is not complicated, but it can dramatically improve the quality of your skin and overall appearance.

Why men need skin care

Men's skin has specifics:

• It is 25% thicker than women's
• Produces more sebum
• It is stressed by shaving daily
• It has larger pores
• It ages differently (later but faster)

Basic three-step routine

1. Cleaning

The basis of every routine. Morning and evening:

• Cleansing gel for oily skin
• Cleansing milk for dry skin
• Foaming cleanser for normal skin

2. Hydration

Always hydrate after cleansing:

• Day cream with SPF (morning)
• Night cream (evening)
• Lighter formula for oily skin

3. Protection

Use SPF daily - the main prevention of aging and skin cancer.
