Facial cleansing for men – How to cleanse your face properly
Do you want well-cared-for, clear skin without spending several hours in the bathroom every day? No problem! We're not exaggerating when we say that daily facial cleansing is the key to clear, pure skin. We'll tell you how to find the right product for your skin and what to look for when cleansing.
What helps against impure skin in men?
Your facial skin is exposed to a host of environmental influences every day: dust, dirt, heat, cold, and even sebum and sweat, which accumulate on the skin's surface, stress your skin and can lead to blemishes. As tempting as it may be to simply use your girlfriend's or roommate's products... don't! Men's skin is different from women's. Men's skin is up to 20 percent thicker, has larger pores, and a different pH level. It also has more sebaceous and sweat glands, which makes men more prone to pimples and blackheads. Daily cleansing can help.
Do's & Don'ts of Facial Cleansing for Men
For clear and well-groomed skin, you should thoroughly cleanse your face morning and evening. In the morning, you remove the sweat and sebum that accumulate on your skin overnight, and in the evening, you remove all the dirt and dust your skin was exposed to during the day. Thorough facial cleansing also optimally prepares your skin for skincare: This allows gels, serums, and creams to absorb even better and unfold their effects.
For optimal results, cleanse your face morning and night. Simply follow these steps:
#1: Lather a small amount of cleansing gel between your hands and spread it evenly on your face.
#2: Gently massage the wash gel in.
#3: Rinse off the wash gel thoroughly.
#4: Gently pat your face dry.
3 mistakes you should avoid
-
Please never, ever, ever use regular shower gel or bar soap on your face. Both dry out your face unnecessarily and lead to unpleasant tightness, itching, and flaking.
-
Don't wash your face with water that's too hot. This will damage your skin's natural protective barrier. Lukewarm water is better.
- Don't forget the skin under your beard! The skin under your beard requires a lot of care and can otherwise become itchy and flaky. Use a combination product to care for your face and beard in one step.
