Get to Know about Men’s Skincare in Three Easiest Ways!

Hi Klevies! Responding to questions we often heard through our DM, we found out that many of you are still confused about starting a skincare regimen for men. Well, this time, we will discuss a few important things about men's skincare for you or your friends who are just about to start a skincare routine!

Most men rely on shaving creams as their form of skincare. As time goes by, these days men have started to get more curious to explore skincare. Due to limited information and sources that focus on discussing men's skincare, a lot of them are dazed and confused about the variousity of products and skincare terms that are often used by women. If that is the case for you, don’t fret! We’ve summarised three easy steps for you to start a right skincare routine.

Know Your Skin Type and What It Needs

The very first step to start is to identify your skin type and what conditions your skin has in time so you might find out what your skin needs most. This will be a helpful step to considering which product is right for you.

While skin type refers to the characteristic of your skin, whether you have a normal, oily, dry, combination or sensitive skin, skin conditions refer to the problems your skin is going through, like acne, large pores, clogged pores, blackhead, etc.

Don’t forget to acknowledge whether your skin has a specific allergy to certain ingredients to avoid several skin reactions such as irritation, itchiness, and burning.

Pay Attention to the Product Informations

Men tend to have thicker and less sensitised skin than women, maybe this is why most men didn’t sort the products they are going to use carefully. Every product packaging has general information about the product description, expiration date, how to use, and the ingredient lists.

Each skincare has its own unique way to be used, paying attention to one product information will help you choose easier. It is not gonna be as hard as you’ve imagined since you have all the basic information you need only from the packaging.

If you are not familiar with those terms, try focusing on the order of the ingredient lists. Mostly, ingredients with the richest content will be sorted at the very first order. This way, you can find the ingredients your skin needs easily and effectively.

Choose the Right Skincare Regimen

After you’ve done the first two steps, it is just as important for you to choose the right regimens to start. If you are thinking of getting as many regimens as possible, maybe you need to wait a little longer for that. Skincare is not about how many products you are going to use, but how consistent you are and how you do it step by step. Let your skin breathe and get used to one product at a time.

Three basic skincare are the right step to get started. If this sounds unfamiliar to you, you might need to find out more about basic skincare here!
