Your skin is the largest organ you have. It not only serves as a protective layer against the elements but also breathes and perspires to provide overall temperature control for your body. More importantly, however, your skin often reveals a great deal about your general health and diet.
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Often times a medical professional can spot illness just by looking at your skin. In order to look your best, men’s skin care involves more than just proper grooming; it requires an investment in your health and longevity. This involves the use of hypoallergenic cleansers to wash away dead skin (along with dust and dirt) as well as the appropriate moisturizers and sunscreens to protect your skin against UV radiation and dryness.
WHY LOOK 50 WHEN YOUR ARE 40
Learning how to shave properly and using the right products can make any man look years younger. Good skin care is just not for women. There are now a ton of products out there for men. No one wants to touch sandpaper skin. Or be touched by rough hands. A simple bottle of moisturizer in your car can do the trick for your hands. Gone are the days when shaving and slapping some cologne on was enough. Why look 50 when you are 40. So many guys are taking care of their bodies today but forget the skin.
CLEAN SKIN
Although men traditionally spend less time caring for their skin than women do, they spend more time damaging their skin through outdoor activities and hazardous work conditions. WASH YOUR FACE If you do nothing else, cleansing is the single most important thing you can do for your face. It should be the basis of your skin care regimen.
Don’t use bar soap for your face. It will dry out your skin and leave a residue. Men’s skin typically has large pores and very active sebaceous glands. While these glands are critical for keeping the skin naturally moist, they can often produce too much sebum, leaving your skin feeling greasy. Neglecting to wash away the excess oil and dirt can clog pores, which leaves the skin prone to breakouts. Basic gel works just fine, just make sure it is for your skin type. You can find the right one of these at Wal-Mart.
EXFOLIATE
Sometimes cleaning the skin with a simple face wash just isn’t enough. A cleanser washes away oil and dirt on the surface, but what about all that nasty stuff deep down in your pores? Even religious use of a face wash will still leave the most men’s skin feeling like a bumpy mess.
That’s where exfoliation comes in. (just two to three times a week). It helps dislodge debris that normal washing can’t touch. A good scrub should have granules to help smooth the skin and eliminate the dullness that results from normal pore clogging and dirt build-up. Exfoliation also softens hair follicles for a closer, less-irritating shave and allows the skin to better absorb moisturizers. You can use a washcloth to help exfoliate as well.
MOISTURIZE
Skin can get dry after showering and, over time, that godforsaken process known as aging makes it lose elasticity. Add all that to the horror of placing a sharp blade next to your face every day to appease rigid HR standards for clean-cut wholesomeness, and you have a recipe for irritated skin that’s parched and taut. Showering and shaving open up pores and allow precious water to escape, but a light moisturizer can fix everything. It replenishes the skin’s moisture content and prevents razor burn.
A moisturizer with SPF will also provide a critical shield against the sun. Harsh UVB rays cause the skin to burn, but it’s the UVA rays that lead to long-term damage like deep lines and skin cancer. A moisturizer with multispectrum defense takes care of it all. Your moisturizer does not have to be heavy or greasy. Most of them are light and absorb into your skin very quickly. Don’t forget to put moisturizer around your eyes. You can buy this at Walmart as well. Don’t forget your lips. Women love soft lips. Lip balm is easy to obtain and use. Keep it in your car or pocket. All the
escorts agree. Good skin looks fabulous on men.
