Understand the basics 

Now that you know your skin type, let's discuss a few of the basics. The CTM (cleanse, tone, moisturise) routine applies just as much to men as it does to women. Men tend to have oily and thicker skin, due to higher testosterone levels. Get yourself a cleanser and give your skin a good cleanse every day, this gets rid of any dead skin cells on your face and prevents blocked pores. For a deeper wash and to stimulate the growth of new skin cells, scrub your skin using an exfoliator. When your skin is squeaky clean, you must moisturise. Let’s face it, there are a lot of guys out there who’s skin care regime involves splashing some water on their face and that’s them done. Even worse, some men use whatever product is nearest to them to wash their faces, whether it be shampoo, body wash and the worst of them all bar soap. The thing about facial cleansers are that they’re specifically formulated for the skin on your face, bar soap/shampoo/body wash isn’t. More importantly, the right facial cleanser will solve stubborn blemishes and problem skin. For the sake of your skin don’t be one of the 63% of men who don’t regularly was their faces.

Add sun protection to your daily routine 

Whether you’re going for a jog, walking with your pooch or kicking a soccer ball around with your friends, sunscreen is super important. The sun is responsible for premature ageing as it burns your skin, it reduces elasticity, making you look older faster. Adding sunblock to your daily routine is vital. If you feel adding another product to your daily routine is too much, then simply get a daily moisturiser that contains an SPF. Your skin is the visual indicator of your overall health. Skin care is also about maintaining the appearance of strength and resilience.
