1. Shower Daily
Showering daily is a good personal hygiene habit that everyone should practice. It will
improve your skin by removing dead cells and helping you to stay clean, fresh and
smelling good.
The 12 Top Male Skincare Tips
A hot shower is great for opening the pores up, but there are also benefits to a cold
shower so consider starting with a hot one and then finishing with a minute or two un-
der cold water if you can bear it!
2. Use Cleanser & Moisturizer
Many men shy away from using skincare products, but it can make an enormous dif-
ference to your complexion. A good cleanser will clean the skin from dirt and oil while
replenishing the skin. Moisturizer should also be used to make the face soft and sup-
ple instead of being harsh and dry.
3. Wear Sunscreen
People often like to bathe in the sun in order to get a tan, but doing this often can be
incredibly dangerous and create lasting damage due to the sun’s UV rays. Wearing
sunscreen in both the summer and winter will protect your skin from sun damage and
could stop skin cancer, irritation, and extra blood vessels.
4. Know Your Skin Type & Pick Suitable
Products
It is vital that you are aware of what skin type you have so that you can pick compli-
mentary products and not ones which will cause irritation. It is likely to be one of sen-
sitive skin (may sting or burn after product use), normal skin (clear with no sensitivity),
dry skin, oily skin or combination skin (dry in some areas and oily in others).
5. Stay Hydrated
It is essential to stay hydrated and top up your fluid levels throughout the day as oth-
erwise you will look tired and worn out. It is recommended that you drink around three
liters of water each day and this can do wonders for your skin as well as improve many
other areas of your life and provide more energy.
