Let’s face it, some men are just not savvy when it comes to skin care. Guys often make novice mistakes, like not washing their faces at night and forgoing sunscreens. Lacking a solid and regular skincare routine can lead to clogged pores, with dirt and debris residing in the skin’s surface. UV damage from the sun can add years to the appearance of a man’s skin and void the benefit of slowed intrinsic aging. Sometimes the fellas in our life just need a little guidance when it comes to skin care and all things “beauty” related. Here’s a quick, easy-to-follow guide to great, healthy skin for all the guys in your life.
The Manly 3-Minute Skincare Routine:
- Cleanser (60 seconds)
White Cranberry Cleanser: This soapy, sudsy, naturally exfoliating and pore-clearing cleanser brings skin into healthy balance. Willow Bark and Totarol™ provide stability to male skin conditions. Pomegranate, a super fruit rich in antioxidants and naturally exfoliating fruit acids, protects against environmental aggressors, while keeping pores clear and skin calm. For a remarkably clear, healthy complexion, gently massage a dime-size amount onto skin with warm water and rinse completely after 60 seconds.
- Exfoliator (60 Seconds)
Fruit Enzyme Scrub: Dual skin polishers and dissolving enzymes quickly exfoliate dead skin cell build-up and unwanted debris in pores. Super-smooth jojoba beads and refined bamboo stem powder gently polish the skin without irritating or tearing the surface. This is the perfect treatment to leave in the shower for your fella so he can have ultra-smooth, ultra-soft skin. To slough away dulling debris, apply a thin layer after cleansing and gently polish with fingertips. Leave on a minimum of 60 seconds then rinse with lukewarm or cool water.
- Serum (30 seconds)
Ultra Hyaluronic Hydrating Serum: Deep-penetrating serum restores moisture using the hydrating agents naturally found in healthy skin. Hyaluronic acid binds water to the skin, improving suppleness and plumping fine lines. Sodium PCA and olive-derived squalane prevent moisture loss as they smooth and soften skin. Guys even love using this product as a moisturizer on its own because it is lightweight, non-occlusive yet very moisturizing. For incredibly soft and hydrated skin, apply two pumps after cleansing.
- Moisturizer/SPF (30 seconds)
Daily Defense SPF 17: A 7% non-opaque zinc oxide provides natural broad spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB, while astaxanthin protects collagen and provides intensive antioxidant actions, and beta-glucan promotes the extension of hydration. These nourishing ingredients combined with zinc oxide hydrate and protect in one easy step making it the perfect daily go-to moisturizer and sun protection for men.
- Bonus Shaving Saviors:
- So Clean “4 in One” for Men contains organic shea butter, ginseng, gotu kola, horsetail extract and blue malva to nourish and sooth your skin while providing a slick shaving medium with a light lathering effect. This multi-functioning product may be used as a facial cleanser, beard softener, shaving medium or all-over body shampoo.
- Smooth for Men is lightweight yet very calming on the skin. It is formulated to reduce the irritation men typically experience after shaving. Organic shea butter, pumpkin seed oil, blue malva, green tea, grape seed extract, beta-carotene, and astaxanthin provide nourishment. Simply apply dime size to face and neck after cleansing and shaving.
- Advanced Argan Oil naturally fight the signs of aging with a blend of non-greasy, 100% organic superfood oils. Baobab-enhanced argan oil delivers ultra-conditioning essential fatty acids and vitamin E to minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles. This nutrient-rich oil also doubles as an excellent beard softener.
