Skincare is important. The market is filled with skincare products formulated for women, but men's skin has a different feel and texture than a woman's does. It's rougher, thicker, and often times more oily. There are complexities to men's skincare that women's products don't always address. These include differing levels of thickness and water retention, irritation from daily shaving, natural oils and sweat.
A skincare regimen that meets these challenges is important for men who want shiny, healthy skin, but finding products that adequately address those factors can be intimidating. We're going to point you in the right direction by discussing the foundations of good skincare.
Cleaning and Cleansing: What's the Difference?
Most men clean their faces. Their routine consists of bar soap, a washcloth, and water. It seems simple enough, and it gets the job done, but this basic lack of skincare routine can lead to malnourished and dehydrated skin, especially on your face.
Using plain bar soap and water cleans your face. Sure, it removes the dirt, but it does little else in terms of keeping your skin healthy.
Cleansing, on the other hand, not only removes dirt, but it also eliminates toxins and revitalizes necessary vitamins that help keep your skin smooth and shining.
Think about it this way: cleaning takes from your skin. Cleansing gives something back in the process.
The Benefits of Hydrated Skin
Why do we need to keep our skin hydrated? What's the benefit of restoring vitamins after removing dirt?
Hydration is good for the body overall, and the skin is no different. Adequately hydrated skin reduces wrinkles and other signs of aging. Hydration is what gives healthy skin that healthy glow. It also affects the firmness and resilience of your facial muscles, giving your face a full and healthy look.
Vitamins help your skin by repairing it and by promoting hydration. Vitamin C, for instance, helps to repair damage from aging, UV exposure, and smoking by creating collagen. It also helps to ease visibly dry patches by helping your body's cells absorb and retain moisture.
