Men Skin Care: The 411

Hey guys did you know as you age it becomes harder for your skin to renew itself? What exactly does Dr. “B” mean by that? Well dead skin cells stay around and clog pores which can lead to acne, ingrown hairs and dull skin. Your skin can benefit from a little extra help from you such as exfoliation. What a big word to mean something so simple to remove dead cells from the skin. There are several ways in which to exfoliate, but I would like to recommend a facial scrub from “Love Skin Again”. There are many reasons and benefits to men exfoliating:

  • Exfoliating removes dead skin cells.
  • Clears hair follicles to prevent ingrown hairs.
  • Removes excessive grime for a deeper clean than usual routines.
  • Reduces the development of facial spots caused by excessive sebum. Use “Love Skin Again”facial scrub 1-3 times a week for an even skin tone.
  • Exfoliate before shaving or over the face of a full beard as it assists with the sloughing off dead cells to promote healthy skin.

The basics:

  1. Determine the type of skin you have to create your perfect daily routine. Skin types: normal, sensitive/dry, or acne prone/oily.
  2. Wash – In the morning and at bedtime with a cleanser safe for your skin type to remove topical dirt from the environment or excessive oil production.
  3. Exfoliate –A minimum of once a week for a deeper cleansing and removal of embedded dirt like blackheads, oils like whiteheads and flaky dry skin.
  4. Tone – Apply a toner or astringent to face with a cotton ball or pad to remove traces of dirt and to minimize pores.
  5. Dry your face with a clean dry towel and keep it separate from the bath towel.
  6. Moisturize – Use a moisturizer (not a body lotion) appropriate for skin type. Invest in a good lightweight sunscreen and use according to weather. A facial oil blend can havepositive benefits when applied to skin at bedtime even for oily skin. To a clean face nightly, even if you have oily skin. Wash your face with warm water the next morning. The routine of applying “Brothers Skintastic Facial Oil” by “Love Skin Again” may result in outbreak like that seen after a detox, however;this should not last for more than 3 days as the impurities will come to the surface of your face once pores are unclogged.

Thank you,
