Hey guys! I’ve been thinking about starting a skincare routine but I have no idea where to begin. What’s a good skincare routine for men? Are there any specific products or steps? I’d love to hear your recommendations and tips!

Basic Men’s Skincare Routine
- Cleanse Twice a Day: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser morning and night to remove dirt, oil, and sweat that can clog pores and cause breakouts.
- Moisturize Daily: Apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer every morning and night to keep your skin hydrated and prevent dryness.
- Sunscreen Every Day: Apply SPF 30 sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days, to protect your skin from UV damage, which can cause wrinkles and age spots.
Additional Steps (Optional)
- Exfoliate: Use a gentle scrub or chemical exfoliant 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells and enhance product absorption.
- Eye Cream: Use an eye cream to address concerns like puffiness or dark circles, as the skin around your eyes is thinner and more delicate.
Product Recommendations
- Non-Comedogenic or Oil-Free Products: Choose products labeled “non-comedogenic” or “oil-free” to avoid clogging pores.
- Drugstore Brands: Many drugstore brands offer high-quality cleansers and moisturizers for men.
- Dermatologist Consultation: Consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized recommendations based on your specific skin type (dry, oily, combination, sensitive).

Use a mild cleanser first, an SPF moisturizer during the day, and a moisturizing cream at night. Remember to use sunscreen!
Basic Skincare Routine for Men:
- Cleanser: Removes dirt, oil, and impurities. Use a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type twice daily.
- Moisturizer: Hydrates and maintains skin moisture. Choose one that matches your skin type and apply it after cleansing, especially post-shave.
- Sunscreen: Protects against UV rays to prevent aging and damage. Use SPF 30+ broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
Also, remember to;
- Know your skin type and choose products accordingly.
- Be consistent with your routine for best results.
- Patch test new products and seek professional advice if needed.
People always forget that lip care is also skin care. I advise all men that I have dated to at least apply moisturizer before they sleep. It works like magic, preventing the chapped lips syndrome
