This skincare-routine is a must-have for men
/No thanks to the plethora of skincare brands and products available in this day and age, it’s no wonder men do and will get lost for choice. In fact most guy friends I know are happy to wash as their face with the same soap they’re using for their body and / or hair. And believe it or not, this is more the norm than not for men!
Using the right products (and in the right order) for your face makes all the difference good skin and great skin especially when you are in the prime years of your life. In short, if you know by using the right products can get rid of or delay acne, wrinkles and sun damage, why wouldn’t you do that?
For the everyday man, a skincare regime doesn’t have to be convoluted or extensive. Simply stick to this simple 4-step skincare routine for healthier, happier skin.
Step 1: Facial Cleanser
Before you buy the first facial cleanser you see on the shelf, know what your skin type is. Is it dry, oily or somewhere in-between? Look for a facial cleanser that’s suited for your skin type.
A good facial cleanser should not leave your skin feeling squeaky clean literally. If your skin feels like this, it means your cleanser is too drying for your skin and is stripping away all the good oils that keep your skin healthy and moisturised.

Step 2: Eye Cream
Eye cream is one of those skincare item many think is superfluous but you’d be wrong. Eye creams can help to minimise dark circles, reduce puffy bags and even even-out wrinkles and fine lines. Without makeup and concealer to help you out, eye cream is your best bet for helping you look fresh and pert, like the inner boy you feel.

Step 3: Moisturiser
Moisturiser not only provides the right amount of hydration for your skin, it can also help balance out any dryness in your skin, keeping acne and pimples at bay. And a good moisturiser doesn’t have to feel tacky or sticky on your face. These days there are lightweight or gel moisturisers that does the work just as effectively without you feeling it on your face.

Step 4: Sunscreen
Sunscreens aren’t just for the beach or tropical holidays. Sunscreen should and must be worn everyday if you want to keep your skin well protected from harmful UV ways which your skin is exposed to, not just on holiday. Even while you’re working from home or in the office, don’t scrimp on sunscreen as UV rays penetrate glass and windows too. UV rays break down collagen in our skin, worsening lines and wrinkles and also speed up the skin’s aging process – I think we can all agree no one needs that.
To try: Umbrella UV-Protection & Light-Diffusing Cream contains a mega dose of SPF 70 that is 100% chemical-free, fragrance-free and is both water and sweat-proof for an all-round protection.
