It is therefore your duty, as a man, to take as much care of your skin as a woman does. Generally, a man’s skin is a bit thicker than that of a woman especially the facial skin which is rougher due to the frequency of shaving. To take care of your skin, it doesn’t require you to spend a lot of money. There are many natural and cost effective ways that you can keep your skin healthy. The tips below are things that can be put in place to keep your skin healthy and younger looking:
Wash your face daily.
Maintaining the cleanliness of your body is the first step towards having healthy skin. Unlike women, men’s skin tends to have larger pores and if not well taken care of, could lead to pores becoming clogged, resulting in a lot of irritation and eventually you end up with uneven skin.
While washing your skin, it is important to choose soaps that do not contain oil-stripping sulphates as these expose your body to unsavoury chemicals. Instead of struggling with the choice of bar soap and worrying about the ingredients, it is recommended that you opt for an aloe-vera based soap.
This is known to be very useful on human skin and it not only moisturises but is also very nutritious to the skin. Using this in conjunction with cucumber, which soothes inflammation, you end up having a healthy and even skin tone.
Ensure you shave regularly and properly.
If you have never shaved, you will definitely fear for the outcome, the worst nightmare of shaving would be getting lots of pimples and an uneven skin tone. Shaving gives men the worst frustrations when it comes to skin irritation.
To avoid these frustrations, you need to take your time when it comes to shaving. If need be, it is advisable that you seek advice from a reputable barber. Most of these frustrations always result from; lack of preparation, wrong choice of shavers, and failure to properly understand your skin type.
Before you start shaving, it is very important to;
Wash your face first so that to get to the root of the hair.
