Easy Three-Step Skincare Routine For Men

For many men, taking care of your skin might conjure up images of complicated routines, an assortment of fancy products, and a large amount of time. But having a healthy, confident complexion is totally achievable - and doesn't require a complete overhaul of your morning and evening ritual. Our easy skincare routine for men will have your skin feeling and looking amazing in just three simple steps.

So, whether you're battling razor bumps, feel tired of dull-looking skin, or simply want to prevent future wrinkles, a basic men’s skincare routine can make a world of difference. In this blog, we'll debunk the myths, recommend easy-to-follow steps, and show you how taking care of your skin can be a simple and rewarding investment.

Why Men Need Skincare Too

Men's skin needs skincare just as women's does. However, it requires men’s skincare to address its specific needs. Men’s skin tends to be thicker and oilier than women's skin, meaning that men are more susceptible to issues like acne, and skin irritation from things like daily shaving.

Here's why a solid skincare routine can be your best friend:

Fight Acne And Razor Bumps
A good cleanser removes the excess oil and dirt that can clog your pores and lead to breakouts. Exfoliating your skin a couple of times a week can further prevent clogged pores and the dreaded razor bumps.

Prevent Premature Ageing
Sun exposure is a major contributor to wrinkles and fine lines, so using a sunscreen every day is a real essential step in your skincare routine - even on cloudy days. Moisturiser also helps to keep your skin plump and hydrated, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Look And Feel Your Best
Besides having a healthy glow, when your skin looks good, you feel good, too. A great skincare routine can boost your confidence and make you feel ready to take on the day, every day.

The Essential Skincare For Men (It's Easier Than You Think!)

Here's the good news - you don't need a ten-step process to have great skin. A simple three-step routine, morning and night, can make a big difference to your complexion.

Cleanser
Wash your face with a cleanser designed for your skin type (oily, dry, etc.) in the morning and in the evening before bed. This removes dirt, oil, and pollution that can build up throughout the day.

HydroPeptide Foaming Cream Cleanser is a gentle foaming cleanser pampers your skin with luxurious hydration and exfoliation. Rice powder and nourishing ingredients remove impurities without disrupting your skin's natural balance. Powerful ingredients like niacinamide and tranexamic acid brighten and even your complexion, revealing a healthy glow. Suitable for all skin types, this cleanser is especially beneficial for concerns like ageing, dehydration, uneven tone, and clogged pores. It promotes healthy cell renewal, leaving your skin prepped and radiant for the next steps in your skincare routine.

Treatment (Optional)
If you have specific concerns, like skin dryness, wrinkles, or pigmentation, consider a targeted treatment. Apply your treatment after cleansing but before moisturiser.

SBTRCT Vitamin C Booster is a revolutionary solid Vitamin C serum that delivers powerful antioxidant protection with a blend of rosehip oil, sea buckthorn oil, and vitamin C derivatives, resulting in an even skin tone and a luminous, hydrated look.

Moisturiser
A good moisturiser hydrates your skin and helps it retain moisture. This is important for all skin types, even oily skin. Look for a lightweight, oil-free formula if you have oily skin, and a richer, hydrating formula with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides if your skin is dry and dehydrated.

mesoestetic Hydra-Vital Factor K is a luxurious cream that deeply hydrates and nourishes your skin, helping to bounce back from dryness. It strengthens your skin's natural barrier, locking in moisture and protecting it from daily damage that can cause aging. As a result, your skin feels smoother, softer, and more supple.

Sunscreen
Apply a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every single day, regardless of the weather. This is the single most important step to help prevent skin cancer and premature ageing. The sun’s harmful rays are present come rain or shine and even penetrate glass – so SPF is an essential whether you’re outdoors, sitting by a widow, or driving your car. Don’t forget to re-apply your SPF every two hours throughout the day to keep your skin protected (and more often if you’re swimming or perspiring).

Teoxane (Teosyal) UVA Shield SPF50+ offers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection, shielding your skin from sun damage that can lead to premature ageing and dark spots. It's a perfect sunscreen for men and is part of the Teoxane Brightening Routine, a comprehensive system designed to give you a more even and radiant complexion. The UVA Shield SPF50+ protects your skin from harmful UV rays, while the RHA® Vit C Serum helps correct uneven skin tone. The Brightening Night Peel completes the routine by gently exfoliating for a brighter look. This complete system provides the perfect solution for achieving a radiant, even-toned complexion.
