Successful and confident men clearly set goals and know what they want from life. They have long realized that just being well dressed today is not enough. If a man cares about the way he looks, then he starts caring of skin as soon as possible. The fact is that men's skin needs regular moisturizing no less than women's.

Step # 1. Proper cleansing

Experts have found that men spend less time, taking shower, than women, but use much more gel. The point is that men use the product not only for body but also for hair. Therefore, it is always possible to find multi-functional products for body skin, hair, and sometimes even for cleansing the face and beard. Men's shower products are characterized by a large volume and a whole complex of special caring components that soften, moisturize and tone the skin. And their aromas charge with energy and vivacity for the whole day.

Sometimes it is important to choose special men’s shampoo, because men often face such problems as dandruff, and by the age of 25-30 the may notice hair loss. Men's shampoo should clean the hair and scalp well, as well as regulate the work of the sebaceous glands and strengthen the roots.

As for the cleansing the face, you should avoid products with aggressive surfactants – they can overdry the skin and provoke active sebum production. However, exfoliating pagents for men should be included in facial and body care. Gels and creams-exfoliants with fine abrasive particles will cleanse the skin from dead particles and make it smoother and softer.

Problems such as dryness and skin irritation after shaving are familiar to every man. More than that, after 30, when the activity of the sebaceous glands decreases, this causes even more problems. At the same time, there are the first signs of aging, so it is important to choose a good moisturizer with a light texture and antioxidants in the composition. Meanwhile, greasy skin cream with a dense texture is harmful to men’s skin.

If the harsh male nature does not allow to use a moisturizer, it’s not a problem. For sure, he has aftershave balm on his shelf – these products are designed specifically for men's skin: their texture is light, it instantly soothes, but does not leave discomfort.

Step # 3. Special approach and special care

As you know, men and women are different not only by the way of thinking, but also by the skin structure. Men's skin is 20% rougher, and the active emission of the hormone testosterone triggers increased production of sebum. With age, the amount of the hormone decreases, and it affects the condition of the skin – it becomes more dry and can cause inflammation and irritation. To avoid this, it is important to use not only the basic care, but also special cosmetic products.

There are some nuances in growing a beard and caring for it. So, it's important to have the right cosmetics, if you want to achieve the ideal result. Special mousses, gels and creams with antiseptics soften the hair, ease the shaving process, and, subsequently, relieve irritation and heal small cuts. It is also important to care for facial hair after shaving - oil and creams will help not only to beautifully put mustache and beard, but also to soften the hair, make it more shiny, manageable and healthy.

It is known that men sweat twice as much – this feature is due to active work of the sweat glands. This requires them to pay special attention to hygiene and the choice of deodorant. It is better to try several options to determine the most comfortable and effective.

Men started paying more attention to the care of their hands and nails. Today, in any beauty salon, you can find such services as men’s manicure. Giving the nails a neat shape, cuticle treatment, polishing the nail surface and a light massage with moisturizing cream are the main steps of severe male manicure. And to maintain well-groomed hands as long as possible, cosmetic kits for men are enriched with protective cream and sometimes even a nail oil.

For some men, the use of makeup products has become as familiar ritual as washing in the morning. In a man’s makeup bag, you can find lip balm, a concealer, products for smoothing the face tone and eyebrow gel.
