SKINCARE FOR MEN!
Keeping your skin clean!
Men have approximately 15% oilier skin and larger pores than women do. It is very important to clean your face everyday, no matter what skin type you have.
A good facial scrub is essential for healthy clean skin. Moisturising is necessity. Use a light moisturiser on your face after shaving. Don't forget to moisturise your neck.
Protecting your skin
You should avoid exposure to the sun. Sun damage leads to premature ageing. Always use a SPF 15 or higher.
Eat the right foods. Make sure you eat loads of fruit and vegetables.
Keep everything in moderation. Too much excessive smoking, alcohol and stress as they will lead to premature ageing and they decrease circulation.
Know which skin type you have:
Introduction:
Before you select your skin care products, you need to know what type of skin you have. Many men think that skin is skin, right? Wrong! Your skin can be normal, oily, dry, sensitive, or combination. Here is some information to help you determine which skin type you have.
Normal Skin: If you've never had problems with oily skin or dry skin, it's likely that you have normal skin. The pores of normal skin are small and the overall skin tone is even.
Oily Skin: Oily skin is slightly too moderately greasy. If you have oily skin, your pores are medium to large in size and prone to blockage. You will have problems with pimples, blackheads and acne. Oily skin is usually thicker and firmer than normal skin.
Dry Skin: Dry skin feels tight and itchy. Winter is especially rough on this skin type. Dry skin is usually thinner than normal skin and may even be slightly rough to touch. If you have dry skin, you may have noticed that your skin is easily irritated.
Sensitive Skin: Men with sensitive skin are usually the ones who actually know their skin type. Sensitive skin is prone to rashes and breakouts from any kind of irritants such as sun, perfumes, shaving cream and soap. Be very careful about the skin care products you choose if you have sensitive skin. Avoid products containing perfumes.
Combination Skin: This skin type has both dry and oily patches. Combination skin has what's called a "T-Zone" (forehead, nose and chin) this is where the oily patches occur with dry skin on the cheeks and around the eyes. If you have this skin type, you will need to purchase skincare products made especially for combination skin.
