The importance of facial cleansing on men's skin

We have already mentioned in other posts that the first step of a proper facial care is to pay close attention to facial cleansing products.

The skin on our face is on average five times thinner than the skin on our body. This means it requires special care.

Furthermore, the skin on our face is the only part of the entire body that is always uncovered, which means that it is always exposed to pollution, solar radiation, and other free radicals that age us so much.

That is why it is very important to always perform a good facial cleansing before applying our facial cream for men.

If we don't cleanse our face thoroughly before applying our face cream, we'll be mixing all the dirt and pollution that has accumulated on our face with the face cream. Especially if you live in an urban area or a large city with high pollution levels.

In addition, our body expels toxins through the perspiration of our skin, and if we do not cleanse our face before using a facial cream, what we will do is reintroduce those toxins back into our body.

However, we can't use just any product for a good facial cleansing. Because the skin on our face is five times thinner than that of our body, and because it's the only part of the body constantly exposed to external agents, it's very important that cleansing be as gentle as possible, regardless of your skin type (oily, dry, etc.).

We will talk in other articles about facial cleansing according to your skin type, but in any case we always recommend using a facial cleanser that :

2. Have a pH of 5.5

That is, it should have the same pH as our skin. If we use a soap with a very high pH, ​​we'll destroy our hydrolipidic layer, or acid mantle, which is our skin's natural protective layer.

We don't see this natural protective layer, but it's there, and it's very important not to unbalance it to keep our skin healthy and prevent the appearance of redness or our skin from becoming increasingly sensitive.

We recommend a facial cleanser specifically for men, preferably 100% natural or certified organic, like our Extra Gent's, which is formulated with only plant extracts.

It's a very detoxifying cleanser, meaning it's a great purifier that cleanses deeply, since men tend to have open pores and a tendency to get blackheads. Our Extra Gent's is not only a deep facial cleanser for men's skin, but it's also a very skin-friendly facial cleanser to prevent redness, flaking, and unnecessary imbalances.

Our Extra Gent's is also a 2-in-1. It's not only a facial cleanser, but also a great shaving cream, as its creamy texture softens beard hair much better than any conventional foam.

Our Extra Gent's is just the first step in our 4-step facial for men's skin.
