Basic
skincare guide
|
|
What
to use, when to use it and why. We
tell you everything you need to know.
|
Facial Wash
An
essential component of any man’s grooming routine,
facial scrubs contain small 'polishing' particles or
special enzymes which dislodge dead skin cells and help
remove any ingrained dirt..
Why?
Keeping your skin clean is essential if you want to avoid
blackheads, spots and oily shine.
When?
Use a facial wash twice a day, it only takes a minute and
can easily be done in the shower. Use before shaving to
cleanse the skin, remove impurities and soften the beard.
Use again at the end of the day to remove pollution, dirt
and grime.
Massage into a wet face concentrating on the sides of the
nose and the dip in the chin. Rinse off with running
water.
Facial Scrub
Similar to a facial wash, maybe a gel or lotion, but this
time with small 'polishing' particles. Some facial scrubs
also contain enzymes that are used to dissolve dead skin
cells.
Why?
To remove dead skin cells and ingrained dirt and grime
that can cause blockages. A scrub will also brighten the
skin leaving it smooth and soft. It will also help to
avoid in-growing hairs and shaving bumps.
When?
Use two or three times a week in place of your facial
wash. Massage over a damp face and rinse off with running
water.
Facial Moisturisers
A
lotion or cream that replaces lost oils, protects and
conditions the skin.
Why?
A moisturiser is essential to keep skin supple and
smooth. It will help protect it from environmental
aggressors, stop it from flaking and feeling tight and
uncomfortable. A good quality moisturiser will help to
keep your skin healthy and younger-looking.
When?
Use in the morning after shaving and at night after
washing, over the entire face and neck.
Aftershave Balm
A gel or cream used to soothe and calm the skin after
shaving
Why?
If your skin is sensitive it may become irritated after
shaving, especially on the neck.
A shaving balm contains ingredients to cool and calm the
skin and to reduce shaving rash.
They also help to heal any tiny nicks and cuts and
moisturise the skin.
When?
Use after shaving on the affected area.
Tones
A light, clear lotion that's used to remove excess oil,
reduce shine and tone the skin.
Why?
A toner helps remove the excess oils that can cause
clogged pores and blackheads. It also helps close the
pores and refresh the skin, especially important if you
suffer from oily or combination skin.
When?
After shaving, splash a little toner on the face or soak
a cotton pad and wipe over.
