MEN'S DRY SKIN CARE ROUTINE -

A dry skin care routine should be utilized to correct flaking, tight, irritated or rough skin. Unless there’s an underlying skin condition, it can usually be remedied with a consistent routine and the right products.

STEPS: MEN’S DRY SKIN CARE ROUTINE

Step 1: Cleanse

Why? Remove dirt and oil your skin naturally collects.
When? Twice a day, morning and night.
What? Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser

Use a gentle cream cleanser. If your skin is still feeling really dry or tight after cleansing, then you might need to experiment with a different brand.

Step 2: Tone
Why? Remove dirt and oil missed when cleansing, and prime the skin for moisturiser.
When? Twice a day, morning and night, after washing your face.
What? Mario Badescu Aloe Vera Toner

Toner can help to prime skin, allowing moisturisers and serums to apply more evenly and penetrate deeper into your skin. You’ll want to stay away from astringents, which contain a high percentage of alcohol that could dry out your skin further.

Step 3: Treat
Why? If you want to target a specific issue, such as fine lines and wrinkles, or need an extra boost of moisture, then look at adding a serum to your routine.
When? 1-2 times a day, after toning.
What? Lab Series Future Rescue Repair Serum

Like the vitamin-packed shot you add to your juice, serums are highly concentrated, fast acting and effective.

Step 4: Moisturize
Why? Restore and trap moisture in the skin.
When? Twice a day, morning and night, after toning and/or applying serum.
What? Clarins Super Moisture Gel for Men

This is where it’s time to pull out the big guns. Apply a rich moisturising cream twice daily (once in the morning and once at night), with or without a serum underneath. If your moisturizer doesn’t contain any SPF, always apply a sunscreen afterwards.

Step 5: Exfoliate
Why? Remove dead skin cells, revitalise complexion and prep the skin for shaving.
When? 1-2 times a week, after cleansing and before shaving.
What? Ahava Facial Mud Exfoliator
