Men skin care (Natural Skincare)

Natural Skincare

In today’s post, Natural Skincare will touch on ‘Man skin care’ which seem to be an alien topic to some men. In fact, it would have been even more alien a few years back. However, Natural Skincare believes that more and more men are now realizing the importance of man skin care (and hence you see markets flush with man skin care products too). And Natural Skincare agrees that even though the male skin is very different from that of a female, ‘man skin care’ is very similar to the skin care for women.

Natural Skincare wants to stress that ‘Man skin care’ too starts with cleansing. Water soluble cleansers are preferred. Cleansing helps remove the unnecessary dirt, grease and pollutants from the skin and helps in preventing undesirable pore clogging. Natural Skincare knows that the inherent oily nature of male skin makes cleansing an important part of man skin care routine. Cleansing should be easily done at least once every day, even better if it is done twice a day. However, Natural Skincare want to advice you that using soap on the face is discouraged.

One of the main considerations in choosing shaving products should be the skin type (since the degree of oiliness differs from person to person).  Alcohol-based aftershaves should be avoided. This is because, ‘Man skin care’ revolves a lot around standard shaving activities for men. Shaving foam/gel/cream and after shave lotion are one of the most undeniably important man skin care products. Serious ‘man skin care’ requires a proper selection of shaving related equipment and products. Plus, Natural Skincare also advices that proper ‘man skin care’ also mandates the use of good quality razors. Here, swivel-head razors are preferred since they are known to reduce cuts.  Besides these products and equipment, it is also necessary that you use them properly. Be gentle when using your razor. Do not scratch it against your skin; use a soft and smooth action (after all it’s a matter of removing hair, not the skin itself).

Due to regular shaving, the skin can get dehydrated quite easily. Although, male skin is generally thicker and oilier, owing to larger pores and more active sebaceous glands. Hence moisturizers too form an integral part of man skin care. Natural Skincare acknowledge that moisturizers should be patted gently over the face and massaged gently using upward strokes. Moisturizing gel or cream should be applied after shaving. In fact, Natural Skincare believes that some shaving foams/ gel have an in-built moisturizing effect too.

You can use a moisturizer that combines sunscreen with the moisturizing effect. Though a man’s skin is less susceptible to skin cancer caused by UV radiation, using a sunscreen is also an important man skin care measure. Naturally antiseptic oils e.g. lavender, tea tree etc also provide good means for man skin care. This is another good option for ‘man skin care’ is to use man skin care products which have natural ingredients like aloe vera, sea salt and coconut etc. After reading this in Natural Skincare you must be convince that man skin care is not as difficult as a lot of men think. It just asks for a few minutes every day, in order to give you a healthy skin for present and for future.
