As a guy, washing your face with soap and rub gently until it is dry must be the only step you will be taught when it comes to facials, right? Actually, facials are not a huge challenge, but adding a few essential steps to this routine will make you experience the difference if you want healthy skin. Cleansing, exfoliating, enhancing skin moisture, and shaving, these processes leave skin looking youthful and full of vitality.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Cleansing and Exfoliating Dead Skin

1. 

   Choose the right cleanser for your skin. A quality cleanser will deeply wash and remove debris in the pores that causes acne flare-ups. Do not use soap to wash your face as it can dry out your face and cause it to flake or become allergic. Instead, look for a cleanser that contains natural cleansing ingredients and is appropriate for your skin type, whether dry, oily, or combination skin.
   • Cleansing with essential oils is also considered to be a great natural way to keep skin clean and moisturized. At first glance this method sounds unreasonable, but applying essential oils to the skin can help remove dirt without drying out the skin. This is considered to be the ideal choice for all skin types, especially acne prone skin.
   • If you want to buy a cleanser that contains a special ingredient that helps treat acne, choose one that contains the active ingredient salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or benzyol peroxide. They not only have antibacterial properties, but are also effective in fighting acne away.

2. 

   
   
   Wash your face once a day. Washing your face more than once a day will dry out your skin. You can choose to wash your face every morning or every evening, but don't choose both. If you want clean and fresher skin, wash your face with cold or warm water without using a cleanser.
   • Do not wash your face with hot water. Hot water will dry out the skin; therefore, you should replace it with cold or warm water.
   • Use a towel to gently blot your face until it is dry, instead of rubbing it on your skin. Your facial skin will deteriorate quickly over time if you rub it hard.

3. 

   
   
   Do not go to bed with sunscreen or other cosmetics on your face. If you put a large amount of sunscreen on your face during a long day, then it's best to wash your face well before going to bed. The sunscreen product you use may contain ingredients that cause acne flare-ups if left on overnight. On the other hand, if you don't sweat or use sunscreen during the day then you can take time for your skin to relax and skip a day of not washing your face.

4. 

   
   
   Exfoliate every few days. Use an exfoliating cleanser or brush to remove dead skin and dirt that a normal facial cleansing process cannot remove. Exfoliating will leave you with brighter, more rosy, and healthier skin. In addition, this process also makes shaving easy, because the beard and skin are now soft and smooth, resulting in a smooth shave with less scratches and less soreness.
   • When exfoliating with facial cleanser, gently massage your face using circular motions, then rinse with water.
   • A dry scrub brush is also an effective way of exfoliating. You should buy a brush specifically designed for the face. Use a brush to remove dead skin cells before washing your face. Remember that skin must be dry when using this brush, as it will not work as well when skin is wet.

Part 2 of 3: Provides Moisture and Protects Skin

1. 

   Use moisturizers every day. Whether using cream, light oil or any other product, don't forget to moisturize your skin every day after cleansing. This routine will help the skin maintain its elasticity and stop itching, discomfort or flaking. Choose a moisturizer that is quality and suitable for your skin tone.
   • If your skin is dry, use creams that contain ingredients like olive oil, argan oil, shea butter, and lanolin.
   • If your skin is oily, the perfect choice is a lotion that contains a lighter ingredient that won't stay on the skin all day long.

2. 

   Moisturizes around the eyes. If you don't have time to moisturize the rest of your face, at least apply some cream around your eyes. The skin around this area tends to sag more easily over time, so a little cream will make them brighter. For middle-aged men, it's especially important to moisturize the area under the eyes. However, it is not too early to start incorporating this step into your daily routine right now.
   • You don't have to go out and buy expensive lotions. Just use a regular moisturizer or a little coconut oil around the eyes is enough.

3. 

   Moisturizes the lips. The skin on the lips usually does not contain as many oil glands as the rest of the face; That is why lips are prone to dryness and chapped. You can apply a little lip balm or coconut oil to help keep your lips shiny and beautiful. When the weather gets dry, you should apply lip balm more often.

4. 

   Apply sunscreen. Facial skin is susceptible to sun damage, so don't forget to wear sunscreen every time you go out. You can use a cream with an SPF over 15 in the winter and an SPF over 30 in the summer, so it's a double job. Don't forget to protect your lips from the sun.
   • Wearing sunglasses in summer can also help protect the sensitive skin around the eyes.

Part 3 of 3: Shaving and Pruning

1. 

   Choose a good razor. Whether you want a clean shave or have a mustache or beard, shave elsewhere on your face every few days. Choose a razor sharp and quality instead of the cheap one you buy somewhere. Your skin will look better if you use a specially designed knife that keeps the shave clean and smooth.
   • If you intend to use a one-time razor make sure you choose a double-edged razor. This razor will be more effective and create a sharper and more balanced shave compared to the single-blade type.
   • You may consider using an automatic shaver if you are not planning to shave. This type of knife should be used on dry skin.
   • The folding razor will help create a precise and smooth shave. If you decide to buy this, it takes a lot of practice to help improve your shaving technique without scratching your face.

2. 

   Rinse your face with warm water. The warmth of the water softens your skin and beard, making it easier to shave clean. It is important that you wash your face thoroughly to remove dirt and bacteria from your face if you accidentally chase your skin.

3. 

   Apply shaving cream while your skin is still wet. This will help moisturize and lubricate the face so the razor can glide smoothly on the face. Don't shave dry skin or shave without cream unless you are using an automatic shaver.
   • Look for shaving creams or gels that don't contain any of the chemical ingredients that cause dry or irritated skin.
   • Apply shaving cream on your face and leave it for a few minutes to enhance skin and beard softening before shaving.

4. 

   Shave properly. You don't have to use force when you move the blade around your face. If the blade is sharp enough then the razor will do it for you. Just make sure you are shaving the “right” direction of the hair, without shaving it backwards for a safe and effective shave.
   • If you intend to shave off stubble stubble that will grow every few weeks, first trim them with a beard trimmer first. Try to trim them as short as possible before starting to shave.
   • While shaving, sometimes remember to soak the razor in warm water for a few minutes to clean the blade.
   • Stretch your skin as you shave for a clean and precise shave.

5. 

   Wash your face thoroughly after shaving. Wash your face with cold water to soothe your face and stop bleeding due to accidental scratches. Then pat your skin dry with a washcloth - don't rub it off.

6. 

   Apply lotion. Use a cream product that can help soothe the burning pain caused by shaving. Stay away from products that contain ingredients that cause skin irritation after shaving.

7. 

   Trim your beard. Use a trimmer or sharp puller to trim the remaining facial hair in a neat and beautiful look. advertisement
