Men

Many teen boys take care of their skin because if they do not do it right, acne can become a large problem. However once your hormones settle and acne is not a problem anymore, men will usually drop their skin care routine or ignore essential parts of it. This can cause problems with different skin disease in the future.  Men should listen to this and if you want to keep that great looking face that you worked hard for in the past, you need to think about continuing the right cares for your skin.

First, you need to determine your skin type.  For the men that have not noticed their skin since the teenage years, it may have changed since then as your body as become more mature.  If you rarely have skin problems you probably have “normal” skin but others may experience dry skin, oily skin, sensitive skin, or combination skin.

You can use skin care products that are made especially for your skin.  You should avoid using harsh soaps that are made for your body on your face.  These will strip your more sensitive facial skin of the natural oils and this will leave it dry and irritated.  You should remember that you need to wash your skin twice everyday. This would be one time in the morning to take out the oils and debris from sleeping and again before you go to bed at night to have the dirt and sweat that has built up during the day.

If you have sensitive skin, you should have a toner to help your face stay healthy and look younger.  You should look for a toner that is not alcohol based to give your skin the very best care.  This product will restore the normal pH balance of your skin and give it an extra cleansing.

You should also remember to moisturize your skin.  If you have no moisture, your skin will age faster and be more inclined to peel and flake off.  If you have oily or combination skin, you will still need to moisturize.  Look for products that will help your skin type.  If you work in the sun for any period of time, you should use a moisturizer that has sun block in it.  Sunscreen helps protects your face from skin cancer as well as keep you looking young.

Men who take care of their skin will look younger longer and are not likely to develop those age spots, acne, and other problems of the skin that will happen later in life.  You should remember to ask your doctor or dermatologist if you have any problems or questions that you need to know about so that you can have the appropriate skin care for your face all of the time.
