Are you one of those men, who think that a shower and a shave is enough to stay good looking? That lotions and creams are just for women? Then think again! Men also need to take care of their skin, and it really doesn't require much effort. These are the essentials you should know!

1. EMBRACE A SKIN CARE ROUTINE
Perfect skin doesn’t happen by itself. Like women do, men need to invest in a daily skin care routine to look their best. This includes cleansing, boosting, moisturising and protection against environmental aggressors. Learn more by reading Why He Needs a Skin Care Routine Too.

2. PERFECT YOUR SHAVING TECHNIQUE
A quick morning shave can be devastating for your skin. By perfecting your technique you can save yourself from the agony of razor bumps and cuts. Here are some ground rules:

Start by wetting your skin to soften it and open the pores
Use a caring shaving foam to reduce friction
Shave in the direction your hair grows
Rinse your razor after every swipe
Finish with an after shaving balm and moisturiser

3. ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN
Protect your skin from pre-mature ageing and sun damage by using sunscreen every day. You can use it under or instead of a day cream (depending on how much moisture your specific skin type needs).

5. KEEP YOUR BODY HYDRATED
It’s not just your face that needs moisture, your entire body demands re-hydration. Especially if you lead an active lifestyle and shower often. So, make sure you always moisturise after you shower. And drink plenty of water!
