Men’s Skincare Routine in 4 Steps

A baseline skincare routine is the foundation of men’s grooming. You may wonder why you should bother with all these facial cleansers, lotions and creams that simply seem overwhelming. 

Look at your body. Your skin is the most visible and largest organ. meeth believes that how you feel about your skin echoes throughout your entire life. Personal care with commitment and consistency can lead to a fruitful, happy life.  Beautiful skin lets you show your best self with absolute confidence in front of others. Today, we talk about men’s skincare regimen in 4 basic steps.

Step 1: Facial Cleanser

To ensure your care starts on the right path, you first need to understand your skin type. Generally,  men’s skin tends to be oilier due to a large amount of sebaceous glands. These glands are usually attached to hair follicles and release sebum, natural fat that helps keep hair and skin moisturized.  In addition, these active glands also tend to be larger in men, which doubles the production of sebum, and thus means men are more prone to acne.

Because of this very unique skin composition, it is essential for men to cleanse their faces regularly. Throughout the day, your skin is exposed to pollutants, dirt and bacteria, along with the sebum and grease accumulated on the skin surface. meeth Facial Foaming Cleanser  smooths away grime and impurities without stripping away good oils, resulting in less frequent breakouts and fewer clogged pores. Furthermore, removing all traces of impurities and daily build-up, cleansing allows other products to penetrate properly into the skin for maximum efficacy.

Step 2: Toner and Lotion

As we learned more about the natural skin composition of men, it explains why many men suffered from acne and breakouts. There is a common belief that toners with alcohol can kill the acne-causing bacteria which in theory mitigates the appearance of acne. However, alcohol is a double-edged sword. While it does fight, it also dries out your skin. In some cases, this can make acne worse. 

The good news, though, is that not all toners are alcohol-infused. You can select a toner with a high concentration of lactic or salicylic acid that treats acne by unclogging pores and exfoliating the skin.

If dry skin is your concern, many people will suggest hyaluronic acid. A naturally occurring substance produced by your body, it is a popular ingredient for alleviating tight skin. However, it cannot penetrate deeper into the epidermis, the top layer of your skin. 

For this reason, sodium hyaluronate, a form of hyaluronic acid, was developed. An extract of hyaluronic acid, it is able to penetrate the epidermis, which makes it an incredibly moisturising and healing ingredient. Being a non-comedogenic substance, it does not clog pores and improves breakout-prone skin by restoring its natural balance. meeth Morerich Essential Lotion is enriched with this brilliant moisture-retaining substance. 

Step 3: Moisturiser

In the process of daily shaving and cleansing, supplemental moisture and nutrients are wiped away. Shaving especially stresses your skin by removing the uppermost layer of skin cells and exposing the vulnerable skin to external aggressors. Moisturiser defends your skin against acne-causing bacteria and dirt that can clog the pores, and forms a moisture barrier and protective layer to enhance your vibrant face.

Step 4: Sun Protection

Men have a natural gift that women can’t get enough of: collagen. Regardless of age, men have a higher collagen density than women, which allows them to seem to age slower than women. However, since men tend to enjoy outdoor activity and don’t bother to use sunscreen, their youthful faces age more rapidly than they should. To age gracefully, it is vital to apply sunscreen as the last step of the routine.

As we have learned over the past year, it’s important to take better care of ourselves. Now is the perfect time to pick up a fresh routine and be the new, energised version of ourselves. Be patient, don’t expect overnight results and give your skin the comfort it deserves.
