Hey guys. With Father's Day coming up this Sunday, I thought I would dedicate a few posts to the men out there. One of my friends asked me months ago about doing post for the guys and I thought this month would be great. This post is going to be about skincare. I know a lot of men ask why we use all these products and have too much stuff lol! I know I get asked that by my boyfriend lol! I think that men should have a skincare regimen like we do. They probably won't need as many steps and products as we do but should still have products that help keep their skin looking good.
This routine is kinda based off what I have purchased for the man in my life and how he takes care of his skin. You guys can take from it and make it your own. First thing in facial care is cleansing. You should find a good facial cleanser that helps remove dirt and cleanse the skin. I purchased Dove Men Care Face Wash and it is a really good cleanser. My boyfriend really likes how it makes his skin feel and I noticed a difference when he started using it. It is very reasonable and can be found at Target. Next step in a facial routine is toning. I'm not sure if a lot of men use toner but I feel they should. It helps get rid of the extra dirt and help tighten up the face a bit. I know my boyfriend doesn't use toner that much but when he does, its my Apple Cider Vinegar. I love using this as a toner. It is not too harsh on my skin and its very good for your skin. I'll do some more research and come up with some toners for men. Next step is moisturizing. Its important to keep your face moisturized and soft. A great moisturizer is by Dove. My boyfriend has oily skin in his T-zone and this has helped control the oil. It also keeps his skin moisturized during the day. It is also important that your moisturizer has an SPF in it to protect your skin from the skin. The Dove moisturizer does contain SPF. Another important step that I think men should do is exfoliate. It's important to remove the dead skin cells on your face. I try to exfoliate 1-2 times a week and the same should be for the men. I'm always using different ones and having my boyfriend try them out too lol but I will look into ones that are great for men.
That is it on Men's skincare. Hope you guys have picked up something from this. I will have another post updating about great skincare products for men. What products to your guys currently use? Comment below and let me know!!

I need to get back to working out ASAP!
Summer is coming soon, it felt like it today lol!!
Ugh my husband is anti mens skin care. Its so annoying! I tell him all the time its so important to take care of his skin but he just can't be bothered!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine! I'm always saying "Hey, wanna try this mask or scrub?" And he'll try it with me lol!! Men like simple things and not all these steps and products lol!! Thanks for reading Tanya!!
DeleteGreat tips Andrea! I really need to get Sean his own stuff cause he uses all my Clarins products! I so need to hide them.

Thanks Keisha! Yea they need their own stuff, they don't realize how much we spend on our skincare and how long it should last lol!!
DeleteThank you for writing these tips Andrea! My husband is very low maintenance lol, he just uses my Clearasil facial cleanser and he's done. I gotta give it to him though, his skin is so much more better than mine but I think it's because he doesn't put anything on his face? Hehe. I appreciate the ideas and will try to incorporate something into a routine for him though. xx
ReplyDeleteOh no problem Liz! The guys like to be simple but they do need to routine that can be easy! Hope things work out!!
