Skin Care Routine for men
Before starting your skin care routine, first you need to find out what type of skin you have, since the recommended products vary depending on the type of skin you have.
If, for example, you have combination skin or oily skin, you will need products with lighter textures, such as our Anti-Stress Gel. If, on the other hand, you have normal skin or dry skin, it is ideal to use an anti-aging cream such as our Anti-Stress Cream.
If you don't know what type of skin you have, in this other post we share with you the different features of every skin type that exists, so that you can easily identify the skin that most resembles you.
You can also choose to take our skin diagnosis and get a personalized facial care routine. By answering a short questionnaire, you will be recommended the most suitable products according to the needs of your face.
Below, we recommend 4 simple steps to take care of your skin on a daily and weekly basis in the quickest and easiest way.
Quick guide to men's skin care
The first 3 steps are common to all skin types. The difference is in the texture of the moisturizer in step 4 (gel or cream), and in how we enhance step 2 (scrub) and step 3 (revitalizing spray) according to the skin type.
The advantage of our 2-in-1 men's facial treatment is that the products have a dual function: on the one hand, the shaving function and, on the other hand, the facial treatment function.
This way, you can always take your products with you and take care of yourself in the quickest, easiest way possible, anywhere.
STEP 1
Facial cleansing
The importance of good facial cleansing is due to the fact that during the day, our body gets rid of toxins through our skin.
If we apply a moisturizer without having previously cleaned our skin, all we will do is allow all those toxins to penetrate again and if we live in a big city with high levels of pollution, we will make this situation even worse.
The goal is not only to keep skin clean and free of impurities, but also to look neat and make the best impression.
However, we cannot use just any old men's facial cleanser. Nowadays, most cleansing products are formulated with sulphates, which can be too harsh for our skin.
At Homo Naturals, we replace sulfates with glucosides (sugar derivatives) for a much more gentle cleansing.
The best option is to opt for a sulfate-free facial cleanser with a 5.5 pH value.
If it is also made with skin-protecting ingredients such as organic Aloe Vera and organic chamomile, this makes Extra Gent's the best facial cleanser for a detoxifying care that is gentle on men's skin.
STEP 2
Scrubbing
One step to add to your facial care routine is to scrub your skin once or twice a week. You should not forget that no matter how much you wash your face every day, there will always be dead cells that you should remove with a scrub.
Our X-foliate contains apricot kernels that are ideal for removing impurities and leaving your skin more uniform and with a healthier appearance.
STEP 3
Revitalize and tone
One of the least-known tricks in men's facial care routines is the usage of a revitalizing facial toner or spray. Those who use a revitalising spray in combination with a natural moisturizer get excellent results.
Our Cool Splash is not just any toner, but is also a great facial revitaliser, ideal for combating signs of fatigue thanks to active ingredients such as horse chestnut.
A very common characteristic of men's skin is excess oil, especially in young skin. Cool Splash contains sebum-regulating plant extracts such as Hamamelis.
With just one application in the morning, it gives extra vitality to your face in a matter of seconds.
STEP 4
Hydrate, nourish and firm
Your skin, like your body, also needs to be nourished, and to do so, you should apply moisturizing cream on a daily basis. Depending on the type of skin you have, a moisturizing gel or cream will be more advisable.
If you have normal to dry skin, choose a moisturizing cream like our Youth Blend Cream that contains natural extracts that provide extra hydration, so needed for this skin type.
If you have combination skin or oily skin, we recommend a gel moisturizer like our Youth Blend Gel, whose texture and rapid absorption prevent the shine caused by excess sebum on the face.
A good facial cream for men should be formulated without petroleum-derived oils which in some cases can be too oily for men's skin, and in other cases can create an occlusive layer that causes, on the one hand, comedones (acne) and, on the other hand, peeling of the lower layers of the skin.
Out of the four steps, the one that should never be missed in your facial routine is the hydration, whether in the form of gel or cream.
A man's facial treatment should always include at least a good facial cleansing and a moisturizer.
Eye contour
The eye contour is an area where the first signs of the passage of time usually appear, so it is essential to have a good treatment as an ally to combat the three major aspects: puffy eyes, dark circles and wrinkles.
To achieve this, we have formulated the best all-in-one roll-on eye contour that fights puffy eyes, dark circles and wrinkles in a single product.
