Best Skin Care Routine for Men

Basic steps for better skin

If you’ve been skipping out on skin care, now’s the time to start. Whether you’re looking to combat breakouts, shaving irritation or fine lines, this easy routine will have you covered with products for all skin types. Using just a few steps and key products, achieve the results you’re looking for—and get in and out of the bathroom fast. 

Step #1

Cleanse Every skin care routine should start with a cleanser. Unlike soap, a cleanser maintains the skin’s protective barrier so it doesn’t dry out while removing dead skin buildup, oils, dirt and pollutants. For dry skin, get a cleanser with moisturizing ingredients, and for oily skin, use a gel cleanser with oil-controlling ingredients like salicylic acid. Cleanse once or twice daily—your choice. All Cleansers

Step #2

Exfoliate Exfoliation helps remove flaky, dead skin, dirt and debris, which trap oil beneath the skin’s surface and can cause blackheads and breakouts. Exfoliating also helps to prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs, reduce the appearance of existing dark spots or light scarring, and allow your moisturizer to reach the skin beneath for fresher, smoother, healthier skin.  All Exfoliants

Step #3

Moisturize & protect A good moisturizer is key to retaining the moisture already in your skin while replenishing moisture lost from cleansing or dryness in the air, giving you a healthy, vibrant glow. A daily moisturizer with SPF also helps prevent skin cancer and sun damage for more youthful-looking skin—after all, sunscreen is the most effective anti-aging product there is. All Moisturizers

Step #5
