In this article we walk through the basics of men’s skin care and grooming.

Make sure you know that men’s skin is different from womens and needs different levels of care. Men’s skin has a thicker epidermis the top layer of your skin, which produces more oil that cause blocked pores, blackheads and spots. Knowing your skin type is important in selecting the right skin care routine. Skin is usually described as normal skin, oily skin, dry skin, and sensitive or combination skin. The basic regime for all types of skin is cleansing, toning, moisturising and make-up. So follow these steps to a better looking face.

Facial Scrub:

A Facial Scrub removes ageing dead skin cells and excess oils that clog the pores. Used regularly, they also help prevent in growing hairs and shaving bumps. Use once a week if you have very dry skin, two to three times a week with normal skin and at least three times a week with oily skin. Massage the facial Scrub onto damp skin using a circular motion. Once finished rinse off with running water. Avoid getting the facial scrub into your eyes, and DO NOT scrub the areas around your eyes.

Toner:

A facial toner is a clear lotion which removes excess oil, reduces shine and tones the skin. Use a facial toner twice a day. First In the morning, use it after shaving and in the evening, after cleansing. Soak a cotton pad with toner and wipe over your face and neck.
