If you’re someone who keeps up with beauty and skincare trends, you know that past years have seen a boom in skincare and luxury men’s grooming products.
“More beauty brands are including men in their conversations and with the stigma around men’s beauty waning, the segment is getting more and more sophisticated. The market for clean, high-performance personal care products is on the rise and is projected to reach $ 166 billion by 2022, according to Allied Market Research, ”explains Shankar Prasad, founder of Phy. indianexpress.com.
However, it is still difficult for men to create a skincare routine that works well for them. You just don’t know where to start; There is also a myth that a man’s skin requires a radically different skincare regimen, as it is thicker and stronger. Prasad notes that while structurally that’s a given, the skincare needs for both men and women remain the same. “In fact, the higher collagen, larger pores and oilier skin that men have require a higher frequency of skin care compared to women. However, while women meticulously follow an extensive multi-step routine every night, the male equivalent of this ritual is washing their face. “
Things to keep in mind when determining your routine
While you may have your face wash on hand, opt for a salicylic acid-based face wash if you have acne-prone skin. If you have dry skin, opt for a cream-based facial cleanser.
This winter season, you should have a good moisturizer appropriate for your skin type. Here’s how you can select one for yourself.
Also, add an overnight serum that can satisfy your skincare concerns such as extreme dryness or pigmentation, acne marks, and blemishes.
Since temperatures are dropping, “you are more prone to sunburn and skin damage.” Sunscreen not only protects you from harmful ultraviolet rays, it also prevents premature aging and melanoma.
Many men also avoid using sunscreen due to its greasy feel. “The good news is that there are many non-greasy, waterproof sunscreens available; the thinnest layer possible will work to protect you from the harsh effects of UV rays this winter, ”concludes Prasad.
