1.     CTM is a must routine

The CTM (Cleansing, Toning & Moisturising) is very essential for men. As they are more exposed to pollution, dust and other pollutants on daily basis, which damage the skin cells.

Spending more time in the sun is the number one cause of wrinkles & tanning. The most damaging things are Ultraviolet UVA and UVB rays and if we overexposure to sunlight, it has the same effect as superficial thermal burns.

If you overexpose your skin to sunlight, collagen fibres beneath the skin break down which will cause increased wrinkles on to the skin. The best method is to avoid the sunrays at a stretch or using sunblock moisturizers or lotions which will prevent UVA & UVB rays to penetrate in the skin.

4.     Beard Grooming is today’s trend

It’s perfectly fine to keep a beard, if you think that makes a style statement. But ensure you keep it clean. You must need to care about your facial hair to avoid razor burns and ingrown hair on the face.

The best thing to do is to wash your beard with a beard wash oil or beard conditioner or cleansing gel. But ensure that you don’t over condition your beard. It may remove natural oils from your skin completely that keep your beard moisturised and healthy.

Tip: – Apply some beard growth oil with fragrance after washing it which will smoothens & tame a curly beard.

5.     Solutions for Thick Soles & Cracked Feet

As age increases, the skin on your feet get crack and thickens. To Avoid this use Pumice stone or any foot scrub in the shower across the soles of your feet. After shower put an intense moisturizer on your feet (specially formulated for feet, Check on the label.)

If the cracks are really bad, swipe on a thick layer of Foot cream before bed. This will help in removing dead cells & also boosts blood circulation which will result in a great stress reliever.

Tip: – Apply a foot cream or emulsion on your feet overnight, which will lock the moisture in skin.

6.     Use Cleansers instead of Soap

Soaps do their job of removing dirt & oil too well, that your dermis becomes deprived of its natural moisture barrier, which leaves your skin dry and can lead to flaking, scaling, and itching.

On the other hand, cleanser is milder as it contains ingredients that promise to moisturize, deodorize or prevent skin problems such as acne or aging skin. Because of this, liquid body cleansers are less likely to strip natural oils from your skin.

Tip: – Oil Based Cleansers are generally more promising than others as they don’t strip off the natural oils from the body & works effectively within a PH range similar to that of your skin.

7.     Wrinkle Prevention for Men

The skin around the eyes lacks in sweat and oil glands; making it highly susceptible to under-eye dehydration resulting in crow’s feet, fine lines & wrinkles. Developing wrinkles is inevitable, but there are some ways to restore youthful appearance or slow down signs of aging.

Try any Under Eye Cream or Serum that contains Peptides and other active ingredients which makes skin around the eyes firmer, plumper and brighter by naturally regenerating collagen and elastin fibres.

Try finding a product that also works against ‘Blue light’ effects which will not only improve skin around eyes but make complete face looking fresh and toned.

Tip: – Dab a little hydrating eye cream or serum around your peepers twice a day which will encourage Hydration and cell regeneration, bringing younger skin to the surface faster.

Being ‘simple’ doesn’t mean no ‘grooming’. Grooming is essential part of keeping Mental and Physical wellbeing. So, Men should also get involved in some self-pampering to look and feel good. But be sure to choose your skincare products according to your special skin type.

“I think grooming is definitely undervalued by men. We all expect women to be fully groomed, which they do. But I Also think it’s just as important for a man to look fresh & clean.”
– LEWIS HAMILTON
