5 Tips For Glowing Skin For Men
Men have always followed a traditional or absolutely no approach when it comes to skincare, though. Male skin is hardier, tougher or resilient to look at, but that does not make it less amenable to a daily skincare routine.
The first and foremost thing that identifies your skin type. The best way to do this is to see how your skin feels and looks like in the morning.
If your skin is very dry and flaky right when you get out of your bed, it can be termed as a dry skin.
If you feel a zone of oil or a layer of oil in the ozone, it can be called as oily skin or it can be a combination skin.
If your skin stinges a lot when you apply a new cosmetic, it can be termed something like sensitive skin.
Cleansing
So the first and foremost step is cleansing. Number one, do not use soaps. However good your soap may be, soaps always make your skin pH alkaline.
They are very harsh, They also wipe away the natural moisturizer, which is very important for a natural skin glow.
Every men adopt the right cleanser. So if you have dry skin, go for a skin cleanser that has a sensitive label on it.
If you have an oily or a combination skin type, you can go for oil-free or non-comedogenic cleansers.
Make sure that the cleanser that you’re using is parabens-free and fragrance-free, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Do not use very hot water for washing your face, Use cold or slightly warm water. Do not scrub your towel.
That’s a very common practice in India that males generally adopt a very hard approach when it comes to scrubbing, always pat dry.
Remember, if you’re scrubbing too hard, you are making your skin more prone to pigmentation and damage.
Moisturising
The second and the foremost thing is a moisturizer. If you have a dry skin, do use a moisturizer. Even if you have an oily skin, you should use a moisturizer.
Prefer oil-free or a non-comedogenic labeled moisturizer. You can also adopt using a moisturizer. Suppose you have a very, very oily skin.
I would always encourage to use of moisturizer in the zones of the face where they feel dry.
Like for most of the men, sometimes, despite having a very oily face, they may have a very dry zone around the lips. So use a moisturizer there, but prefer an oil free or a non-comedogenic moisturizer.
Using sunscreen
Number three, sunscreen. So when it comes to men, most of the men desist from using a sunscreen. We just have to try until we find the best-suited sunscreen. Go for a matte finish sunscreen. You can adopt a tinted sunscreen if you would like to use something to conceal.
Otherwise, go for a mat free, oil free, non comedogenic moisturizers prefer a broad spectrum, high spf sunscreen. Remember, it’s not the sun outside. It is even your computer screen that may make you more tanned.
Right Saving Routine
Fourth, how to shave. Shaving is a very important routine for a male.So one, do not use a double or a triple-blade razor.
Prefer a single-braid razor, especially if you get some bumps after shaving. Number two, avoid doing dry shaving. Use a good shaving cream, preferably again, unscented parabens-free shaving cream.
Number three, always pat dry your face with slight lukewarm water after you’re done with your shaving.
Do not shave in the direction opposite to hair. Do not keep your skin very tight while you shave. So I would not prefer a very close shave approach as good for your skin.
Antioxidants Rich Diet
Fifth, pump up the antioxidants in your diet. Believe me, male skin is more vulnerable to the daily stresses of pollution and dust.
And there is a lot of indoor pollution also in the companies that most of the people work for.
So you have to take more fresh vegetables and fruits, all the colored fruits and vegetables.
Ask your dermatologist to prescribe you an antioxidant containing omega three isoflavons, beta carotene.
Naturally, you can find these antioxidants in yellow-colored vegetables. So papaya, pumpkin, and carrot are my favorite fruits, especially if you’re looking at a lightning skincare regime.
CONCLUSION
so remember, even if you are a male, these five things of cleansing moisturizer, sunscreen, good shaving routine and good antioxidant dose in your diet would help you achieve a blemish free and a youthful skin forever.
