5 Minute Men’s Skincare Routine
1. Get scrubbing (time: 1 minute)
Invest in an exfoliating cleanser to keep skin looking fresh. Exfoliating gently removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, minimises fine lines and tackles ingrown hairs. A skin-saving superpower! Start slow and scrub lightly in case of sensitivity and build up to exfoliating three times a week to keep skin looking healthy, fresh and feeling smooth. Top tip: Exfoliate before shaving to soften hairs and prep skin, not after - especially as post-shave may be sensitive to scrubbing.
2. Clean up your act (time: 30 seconds)
Sweat, pollution and changing temperatures throughout the year can all leave skin looking and feeling dull, greasy and dehydrated. We recommend cleansing twice a day with a gentle face wash to tackle daily grime. A cleanser is an easy step to incorporate into your daily routine, even if you just use it in the shower - simply massage onto damp skin in a circular motion and rinse clean. Top tip: Always cleanse after exercising or a session in the gym to avoid breakouts.
3. Between the lines (time: 1 minute 30 seconds)
Target problem areas with specific anti-ageing products for men, such as eye balms and creams that help to de-puff, refresh and smooth out fine lines around the eyes. Full face anti-wrinkle creams will help to target the lot - from forehead creases and laughter lines to a sagging jawline. Simply pump a small amount into palms and massage over skin upwards and outwards in light, sweeping motions. Top tip: When applying, work upwards against gravity trying not to pull on the skin- starting with your neck up to the jaw and then around your cheeks and forehead, applying lighter pressure around your eyes.
4. Your softer side (time: 1 minute)
Follow up with a moisturiser to keep skin hydrated, soft and soothed. If your skin type tends to be oilier, we recommend a light gel or lotion formula to keep pores clear and to refresh the complexion. If the skin is drier, a balm or cream formula will help to tackle any dry patches and perk up tired skin. We say double up and get a moisturiser with SPF to protect skin from UV rays all year round; helping keep skin youthful and protected from sun damage. Top tip: Less is more - dispense a drop no bigger than a ten pence piece into hands, then massage all over the face and neck using your fingertips.
