A Skin Care Guide for Men

by James Walton

First and foremost, men's skin care should consist of much more than shaving balm and aftershave. As most men would benefit about knowing more about skin care, this article lays out the basics of a productive skin regimen.

Although a multi-step approach to skin care is not a necessity, it is good for men to know which products are the best for protecting, nourishing, and rejuvenating their skin.

The Fundamentals for Basic Grooming

For daily application, certain skin care products should be a necessity:

Face wash. Everday it is important to wash your face two times using an effective face cleanser. The best bet is to use a cleanser containing alpha hydroxy acid in order to eliminate dead skin cells, open up pores, and revitalize the skin.

Shaving lotion. Here the importance is on a shaving cream that will lubricate the skin sufficiently to prevent razor burn. The two ways shaving lotions are delivered are through pressurized bottles or with soap that is applied with a brush. It is believed that a brush will make the facial hairs stand more taught allowing for an easier shave.

Aftershave balm. It is common for men to use an aftershave to soothe their skin after shaving. The lotion may contain an antiseptic to prevent infection, a moisturizer, or fragrance.

Moisturizer. As we advance in age, we have essential oils that moisturize our skin that we begin to lose. As these oils dry out, an effective moisturizer can pick up the slack. Moisturizers that are rich in the antioxidants of vitamin A, C, and E are recommnended as they delay the aging of skin cells. Avoid at all costs skin care creams that contain lauryl sulfate as they remove natural oils from the skin.

Sunscreen. If one is to spend any prolonged duration of time under the sun, it is critical to use sunblock. This is the best thing one can do to prevent aging of the skin. Some recommend to apply sunscreen after shaving. The importance lies in getting a sunblock with an SPF factor of 15 (at a minimum).

Skin Care: The Right Shave

There are significant advantages to shaving that are not well known. For instance, there takes place with each shave significant exfoliation to help keep your skin young and healthy looking. If you shave improperly, there is the danger of razor bumps and burns. These form when facial hair that was cut too short curls back up into the skin. For an effective shave, consider these following steps:

Soften Beard Texture. Lather your face considerably with hot water. Before rinsing your beard with water, it may be beneficial to apply a warm washcloth to increase the softness of the hairs.

Shaving Cream Technique. Cover your beard completely with the shaving cream. It is important to lather in deeply the shaving cream. This will make the hairs stand up and lubricate the skin.

Shave Razor. It is important the razor be sharp and that you shave in the direction that the hairs lay. Best to avoid repeating any strokes and to keep the skin relaxed.

Complete Rinse. Rinse the remaining shaving cream off your face with cool or warm water. Hot water too easily dries out the skin.
