For men who don’t like skincare, it is best to focus on a simple but effective routine. Cleansing, moisturising and sun protection is the key. Men need to take care of their skin, because neglecting it can lead to problems in the future. Let’s take a look at the best skincare for men who hate skincare.
The Best Skincare for Men Who Hate Skincare
Skincare is important for everyone, so if you are short on time, it is important to find a way to incorporate a simple daily routine so your skin gets what it needs. Not looking after skin can lead to problematic skin concerns, such as: premature ageing, acne, dry skin and even skin cancers. Even if you don’t love skincare, a basic routine will leave you looking and feeling good. Visit our Shop.
Step 1: Cleanse
Wash skin with a mild cleanser – it can take just 30 seconds to complete this step. The SkinBase Gel Cleanser is an excellent option, or try the AHA Foaming Cleanser if you have oilier skin or want an extra exfoliation. Washing your face morning and night is the foundation of a good skincare routine. Cleansing in the evening washes away dirt and pollution. Cleansing in the morning gets rid of excess sebum (oil) which men can produce overnight.
How To Cleanse: Dampen your face and neck with water, take a small amount of cleaner into your hands and gently massage it in a circular motion. Rinse well with water. Done!
Step 2 & 3: Moisturise & SPF
The good news is Steps 2 and 3 can be done at once. When men do not apply regular sunscreen (or moisturiser with sunscreen) they risk developing problem areas from dangerous UV rays and lack of moisture. From dark spots to dry and rough skin, the key is to avoid these concerns altogether. You can moisturise and SPF in the same step with the combination Daily Repair & Protect Cream. This is a low effort option – and you will see the results.
Why Moisturise?
Moisturiser is important because it helps to keep skin hydrated and plump. Even though men’s skin is thicker and oiler, using the right moisturiser can help to combat dryness and flakiness. It helps to keep the skin’s barrier intact and protect from the elements.
Why Use SPF?
SPF is the most important skincare step. Men often neglect to use sunscreen but the risk of sun damage is just as much of a threat to men. Apply the Daily Repair & Protect Cream to all exposed skin – including your face, neck, ears and hands.
