Facial cleansing
Washing your face with hair shampoo or shower gel is not the solution. You have to choose appropriate a cleanser that will deep clean your face. You should avoid products that contain perfume. Choose the ones that are rich in nutrients – such as vitamins, plant extracts, high-quality oils, collagen, etc.
These ingredients give the skin of the face freshness and elasticity, they keep it youthful, renew it and improve its tone and texture. Do not exaggerate with peels and acids, otherwise too frequent use can cause a counter-effect. For clean skin, wash your face twice a day, morning and night.
Moisturizing cream
A regenerating and nourishing moisturizer is essential for the perfection of your skin. The main benefits are soft skin, its deep hydration and a more beautiful and even complexion. After each wash, apply a suitable product to the face.
Shaving
Pay attention to the shaving technique, as it must proceed in the direction of hair growth. For some men, razors with multiple blades can cause skin damage. If you often get pimples, burns, or ingrown hairs, use a single-blade razor instead. Before and after shaving, you should always moisturize your skin with appropriate care products.
Protective cream
Always use sunscreen when outdoors. This prevents sun damage that can cause wrinkles, age spots and even skin cancer.
