2. Skin care tips for men

2.1. Review product labels and ingredients


The skin care products used depend on your skin type. In case, men are prone to acne, use cleansers and moisturizers labeled "oil-free" and "non-comedogenic". This way, the oil won't clog pores.
If men have sensitive skin, use gentle, “fragrance-free” products to avoid irritation and dryness. Products labeled “unscented” may contain fragrance as face masks can still cause skin irritation.

2.2. Wash your face every day, especially after exercising


You should not wash your face with bar soaps because they may contain ingredients that cause dryness. The "brothers" should learn and choose a brand of benign facial cleanser.

2.3. Consider shaving technique


For some men, a multi-blade razor may work too well or shave too close to your skin. If the skin is regularly rubbed by the razor, it will cause redness and ingrown hairs. Therefore, use a single- or double-edged razor instead and do not stretch your skin when shaving. Wet skin and use moisturizing shaving cream, continue shaving in the direction of hair growth. Finally, rinse the razor after each use. Razors can be attacked by dirt and bacteria. Therefore, "brothers" should change the blade after 5-7 times of use.

Moisturizers work by keeping the skin hydrated. Products can help prevent the appearance of wrinkles and make skin appear brighter, more youthful. Moisturizer should be applied immediately after a man shower or shave. This will help the skin absorb the moisturizer quickly and effectively.

2.5. Apply sunscreen whenever you go outside


Sun exposure can lead to wrinkles, age spots and even skin cancer. Therefore, men should apply sunscreen to all areas of skin exposed to UV rays such as: scalp, ears, neck and lips. Note, you should reapply every two hours, right after swimming or sweating. You can also protect your skin by finding shade and wearing sun-protective clothing such as long-sleeved shirts, long pants, wide-brimmed hats, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
