Are You a Man That Needs Help with His Skincare Routine? Here are the Complete Men's Skincare Guide Plus 10 Best Skincare Products to Keep Your Skin Youthful and Healthier (2020)

Do you know that skin is the largest organ in our body? Well, that's not the only reason that you must take care of your skin; your skin is susceptible to changes; you would be surprised to know that our skin sheds almost every day and the older cells are replaced by newer ones every day, which is why it becomes crucial to take proper care of the skin, and have a healthy skin care routine, especially for the face, as it is more sensitive.

Moreover, the men who are always on-the-go and have to work field jobs are more prone to have their skin damaged to the pollutants they have to face daily. So, it becomes all the more important to include a daily skincare regime for men. And of course, who would want to have premature wrinkles? A healthy skin care routine would also ensure that your skin remains young for as long as it can! Now, if you're finally convinced to start with your daily skincare routine, here's how you can do it.

Touch the skin on your face! What do you feel? Oiliness? Dryness? Or does it feel slightly moist and slightly dried? You might even feel tightness somewhere! The first and foremost step to start your skincare routine is to identify what kind of skin you have – it could be oily, dry, a combination of both at places, scaly, and on.

Identifying your skin type makes you select the right products for your skin, without which you might buy unsuitable products and end up damaging your skin. Although there might be common products available which claim to be suitable for all skin types, some of which even produce excellent products, it is always recommended to buy products based on your skin type if you happen to have an extra-X (X being oily, dry, sensitive, etc.) skin! Once you've taken care of this step, we move on to the next step, which is.

Exfoliation here means to get rid of all the underlying impurities from your skin, which are the prime reasons for causing blackheads, acne, cystic pores, and other such conditions. These impurities could be anything such as excess oil known as sebum. Now, you can achieve a healthy exfoliation of the skin using two ways, i.e., through chemical products or scrubbing products.

Chemical products are generally available for all skin types; exceptions can include skin, which is allergic to a particular kind of chemical allergen. In contrast, scrubbing products must be avoided by people having sensitive skin as these might only damage the sensitive skin. Generally, exfoliation is recommended 2-3 times per week weekly for most skin types. Still, for the oily skin type, you can increase the frequency to 4-5 times/week (However, do check out the instructions label with every product, as the vigour of each product will be different).

Cleansing, on the other hand, means making sure that you prepare your skin for the upcoming pollutants it will be facing throughout the day! A deep cleanser is recommended to be used every morning and every evening when you return from work!

As we mentioned earlier that the skin is the largest organ of the human body, and organs require nutrients to keep themselves healthy. The skin is no different, and after you have gone through the exfoliation and cleansing, the next step is to nourish and hydrate your skin with products containing nutrients to keep it healthy.

People with dry skin can use any general-purpose moisturisers daily. In contrast, people with sensitive and oily skin will have to refer to specific products' instructions for how to use them according to their skin types.

Try ensuring that the product you choose offers sun protection; this way, you can avoid having to use a separate sunscreen.

You must have heard that Vitamin C helps improve the skin's elasticity, supplement the removal from fine lines, and make the skin appear younger and smoother. To put it briefly, Vitamin C helps in making cells active known as fibroblasts, which are the reason behind the secretion of collages, a compound that helps keep the cells of your skin together, making it look better and making it healthier.

Therefore, it only makes sense to include a vitamin serum in men's skincare!
