I know the idea of a daily skin care routine is still a little untoward in the minds of some men, but times are changing and with that change come awareness about proper skin care. Both men and women should be taking care of their skin year round but the two harshest seasons in the year, winter and summer, do the most damage to the skin. Men should take note that their skin is about 15% oilier than women’s, and have much larger pores, making them a little more susceptible to skin problems like acne and inflammation. So here are some tips for men on how to properly care for their skin during the bitter cold or summer heat.

During the summer months it is important to cleanse your whole body, because although sweating is good for the skin as it flushes out excess toxins and salts it can also keep dirt on the skin and make the skin oilier. Also if you have acne prone skin it is more important to cleanse your face and body. Use an all natural cleanser made with ingredients like Tangerine Oil and Aloe Vera to soothe and calm inflammation while moisturizing the skin and keeping it clean and clear.

During the winter and summer seasons the skin is the most fragile. This is when you want to avoid any products that can harm your skin. Many shaving creams, moisturizers, deodorants, shampoos, and eye creams contain harsh chemicals that irritate the skin, causing inflammation, redness, and peeling which can worsen acne. Don’t wash your face with soap, especially those made with artificial fragrances as soap has a tendency to dry out skin, and the cold is more the qualified to strip the moisture from your body. Artificial fragrances are also known to cause skin irritation and in some cases severe allergic reactions.

Men should definitely try and benefit from the use of a daily moisturizer. In the summer time you should moisturize at the least once a week, and in the winter you should moisturize daily. When your skin is moisturized and calmed, you become less prone to irritation, making shaving the face easier. Shave with the grain, not against it, as to avoid any other irritation. Always use a fresh, sharp blade, use a quality shaving cream (preferably one made with all natural ingredients) be gentle and take your time. Rushing your shave can result in nick and razor burn, furthering skin irritation, inflammation and increasing acne breakouts, the very thing you’re trying to diminish.

With this rapid changing of the times, everyone is becoming more and more aware of how to properly take care of their skin. Men, especially have begun to take a huge role in skin care. So men, remember to take extra special care of your skin during the winter and summer months when the environment is the most harsh. Cleanse, stay free of chemicals, and moisturize. Those are the basic truths to anyone’s skin care routine.
