EIGHT STEPS TO THE BEST MEN'S SKIN CARE PRODUCTS ROUTINE
Unless you have a full beard, shaving your face properly is fundamental and crucial for maintaining a healthy complexion. Often men's shaving routine involves shortcuts and bad habits due to the repetition associated with daily shaving. However, a smooth shave and healthy-looking skin involves more than just shaving your face.
A lot of men are guilty of common shaving mistakes and wonder why they end up with razor bumps and inflamed or irritated skin. Follow the steps below in your shaving routine for a healthier complexion.
Step 1 - Only Use High Quality Blades
Avoid using cheap, low-quality blades or blunt blades as this is the fastest way to skin irritation and razor burn. You would think that this step goes without saying but getting the last shave out of each blade is a common problem amongst men and one that doesn't pay in the long run. Let's face it, buying high-quality blades and throwing them out when they're blunt is not expensive and is the most fundamental step is delivering a smooth shave and healthy skin.
Step 2 - Shower In Hot Water And Avoid Towel-Drying Your Face And Neck
A hot shower gives off steam which relaxes the pores in your face and softens your skin. A cold shower tends to do the opposite. When you towel off, avoid the face and neck areas as the added moisture will assist you in shaving.
Step 3 - Choose A Good Shaving Soap Or Cleansing Shave Foam
Some men tend to use a shaving soap while others prefer a shaving foam. This is a personal choice but either way, always use a high quality, natural soap or a cleanser and shave foam. Lather up well or use plenty of the cleanser and shave foam. Our Man Shaving Soap is a natural men's shaving soap made from beautiful, Virgin Coconut Oil, super-charged with the skin-healing agent known as Tamanu Oil and scented with Our Man Essential Oils. This powerful combination of anti-aging and skin rejuvenating oils is the road to a smooth, healthy and youthful-looking complexion.
Alternatively, use our Man Cleanser And Shave Foam (also boosted with Tamanu Oil) to cleanse your face, unclogs pores and shave.
Step 4 - Keep Hands Clean And Do Not Shave Against The Grain
Make sure your hands are clean (they should be if you just got out of the shower) and always shave from the top down rather than upwards against the grain of your facial hair. This will minimize friction between your skin and the blade of your razor. When you shave, you are not just shaving away the stbble but also exfoliating away the very top layer of skin. This is normal but facial skin is delicate so avoid aggravating it by shaving upwards instead of downwards.
Step 5 - Apply A Post-Shave Moisturizer
This is an essential step to healthy skin. A good men's face moisturiser should soothe and moisturize your skin. You want to keep your complexion hydrated and supple. If you work in an airconditioned office or outdoors in the cold or wind, this will tend to dry out your skin. Moisturizing renders your skin more resilent to skin damage caused by wind and cold weather. If you work outdoors in the sun, we recommend using a moisturizer with SPF. In fact, a study conducted in Nambour, Qld, Australia in 2013 found that the daily use of an SPF slowed the aging process by 24 percent when compared to the intermittent use of an SPF! Aging is a process that occurs over time and the signs of aging can appear more obvious at different stages as you get older. The secret to looking younger than your age is to use a high quality moisturizer daily and this is especially so after shaving.
It has been scientifically proven that Sc Glucan in Tamanu Oil provides natural UV protection. Sc Glucan protects against UV-induced DNA damage and oxidative stress as a new biological UV filter with a SPF 18-22 in ophthalmic preparations. This natural UV filter, inhibit 85 % of the DNA damage and oxidative stress induced by UV radiation at 1% concentration in opthalmic preparations (Eur J Pharm. Sci 2007 Mar; 30(3-4):203-10. Epub 2006 Nov 9).
Step 6 - Use A Face Scrub One To Three Times A Week
While shaving does involve exfoliation to some extent, it does not deliver the same results as a good face scrub and does not cover areas around the eyes or the forehead. In addition, the periodic use of a face scrub is essential for the prevention of acne, blackheads, dry, sensitive and oily skin, as well as for the removal of dead skin cells. A good facial exfoliator should not only remove dead skin cells, it should also purify and deep cleanse your skin. You also want a face srub that won't dry out your skin. In fact, you want it to also moisturize and rejuvenate your skin. Our Men's Face Scrub (with Virgin Coconut Oil, Kaolinite Clay and Tamanu Oil) will do both.
Step 7 - Apply A Clay Face Mask Once A Week
While some suggest the use of a clay face mask twice a week, particularly if you have oily skin we say that this depends on the type of clay mask as some clays will dry out the skin more than others. If you have acne-prone or oily skin then applying a clay face mask is another essential step in any men's skin care routine. Some of our Men's Face Mask uses two different volcanic clays for a deep down detox and cleanse and so once a week is recommended. You don't want to suck the life out of your skin by using it too often and be sure to rinse it off before it dries out too much so as not to cause dehydration and irritation of your skin.
The addition of anti-aging Virgin Coconut Oil and Tamanu Oil in our most Men's Face Mask care will help deliver fast, effective and life-changing results.
Step 8 - Don't Forget The Rest Of Your Body
You'll also need to use a body scrub and body moisturizer to keep the rest of your body in great shape. Here we suggest you visit our Tamanu Oil Range and pick up a bottle of our Tamanu Volcanic Ash Scrub and our Skin Rejuvenating Tamanu Oil Moisturizer.
