Your Daily Dose of Skin Care
>
On every man’s skin care arsenal, there are some basic products we should use on a daily basis. This will ensure our skin stays firm, protected and looking absolutely great. What in the beginning will seem like extra work, over time it will like any part of your day, like brushing your teeth!
Cleanser
A facial cleanser will remove unwanted stuff on your skin (dead cells, dirt, weather pollution) and clean up the pores, which mean less acne blemishes.
There are different types of cleansers for different types of skin, but in the end they should work fine, unless your skin is excessively oily or dry. If after using a product, you feel your face too tight, is better to try another one, because the effects were too hard for you.
The cleanser should be used twice a day, morning and night.
Shaving Cream or Gel
A shaving cream or gel helps soften the facial hair. It is a combination of ingredients that will make shaving a lot easier, and helping achieve that perfect close shave. Many men make the mistake of applying the cream and instantly shaving. You have to let the cream do its work from around 30 seconds to a minute, and then proceed to shave.
The best time to shave is after taking a hot or warm bath, warm water opens up the pores, making shaving even easier.
Toner
A toner cleans up the pores, removing any residue from shaving. Restore the acid mantle on the skin, and protects it from bacteria. Toner works throughout all day, controlling the build up of oil.
It is commonly applied the same as the cleanser, at morning or at night.
After Shave
An after shave is very important when you shave. Shaving leaves the skin damaged and dry. A good after shave will provide the skin of the nutrients it needs, while at the same time will moisturize it.
Best time to use it? You guessed, after shaving.
Moisturizer
Restore moisture to skin, and avoids current moisture evaporation on our skin, helping retain water. You have to know your skin type before buying a moisturizer, because it is dependant on this.
Moisturizing should be the last step on your daily ritual. Commonly applied morning and night.
