Wondering how to sneak out that extra time from your hectic schedule to invest in skin care? The interesting thing about men’s skin is that it typically takes very little to make a big improvement. Great-looking skin is easy if you follow these simple steps to keeping it smooth and glowing.
Clean it well
Removing dirt and oil is the first step in allowing any moisturizer to penetrate your skin’s surface. Cleansing twice a day, morning and night, is a good practice but do not use scrubs too often for facial cleaning. Prefer using a mild face wash that does not remove the essential oils from your skin.
Understand your skin type
In order to choose the right product for your skin, it is important that you first understand your skin type. If you have a rather sensitive skin, you may have observed how it reddens easily and even stings when you apply a harsh skin product. Others can examine their skin type by observing the T Zone (across your forehead and a straight line down your chin) condition of their face. If your face is just minimally slick, yours must be a normal or combination skin. Now, depending on the skin type you have, go for the product that suits it and works toward improving its existing condition.
Revive it at night
Applying a moisturizing lotion before retiring off to bed creates softer, more hydrated, and better-looking skin the next day. It also helps seal in moisture, which helps repair the skin that has been brushed off during the day with dry air and harsh cleansers. It is better if you use products with ingredients that can help slow down the signs of aging such as retinol (Vitamin A), or other anti-aging creams or serums with alpha hydroxyl, glycolic acid, or peptides.
Avoid Sun Exposure
One of the leading causes of skin damage is going out without a sunscreen. Do not stow your sunscreen after the summer ends. Instead, look for moisturizers with built-in sunscreen containing SPF 30 or higher.
Soothe your eyes
The skin around your eyes is sensitive, extremely delicate, and prone to wrinkling. Repetitive actions, such as squinting, rubbing your eyes, and vigorously drying your face with a towel go on to make things worse. To prevent the unnecessary damage, add an eye cream with hyaluronic acid or vitamin E to your regimen at night to soothe that sensitive, soft skin beneath your eyes.
Use an effective body lotion

Use an effective body lotion
Hot showers, bar soaps, and dry air can make your body skin look even drier in the winter season, especially around your knees, elbows, and extremities. To prevent undue skin damage because of your skin drying off, apply an effective body lotion.
By simply following the above mentioned steps regularly, you can bring out a big change in the way your skin looks and feels. The trick is to incorporate these into your routine bathing and cleaning tasks so these are not skipped.
