It is no secret that men are not as conscious about their skin as women.
The skin care ritual for most men starts and ends with the bar of soap.
Cleansing the skin using soap alone does not cut it.
Our skin receives a lot of damage daily.
The sebaceous glands of men tend to produce more oil.
As a result, sebum clogs the pores.
This can add up to the dead skin cells purged out by the body.
Dirt and bacteria can also thrive in the pores.
Men also receive a lot of skin damage outdoors because of excessive sun exposure.
Since most of them shy away from sun screen products, their skin becomes susceptible to photoaging.
Photoaging speeds up the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
That is just the tip of the ice berg.
A lot of things can speed up the aging process including stress and a sedentary lifestyle.
If you take this sitting down, your skin will surely look older than normal.
You definitely should update your skin care ritual in order to thwart the aging process.
Here are a few skin care tips every man must try: Tip 1: If you are the busy and outgoing type of person and you just can't go through a lengthy skin care ritual, you might as well look for an all-in-one skin moisturizer.
Look for a product that can protect, correct and moisturize your skin.
The first thing you should look for is sun protection.
The product should protect you from UVA and UVB rays.
UVA rays facilitate faster aging while UVB rays cause skin cancer and sun burn.
Also look for ingredients that can correct and hydrate.
The natural ingredients CynergyTK, Phytessence Wakame and Manuka Honey are ideal.
CynergyTK is an ingredient that has been carefully taken from the wool of sheep.
This ingredient infuses functional keratin to the skin.
Keratin is a type of protein responsible for the production of collagen and elastin.
It will prolong strong and elastic dermis structure.
Phytessence Wakame is a type of sea weed often used by Japanese people as a facial mask.
It preserves healthy levels of hyaluronic acid.
This is the acid that supplies moisture to collagen proteins.
Manuka honey can hydrate the skin deep down.
Aside from its hydrating benefits, it also has healing properties.
It can get rid of bacteria that might cause skin infection.
Tip 2: Taking Vitamin C and Vitamin E daily can go a long way in preventing skin aging.
This should not even take a lot of your time.
Just take these vitamins in the morning and you are good to go.
Vitamin C supports the production of collagen and increases your skin's protection from radiation.
Vitamin E keeps skin cells healthy and alive and moisturizes the deeper layers of the skin.
Tip 3: Exfoliate to get rid of dead skin cells.
Use a scrub made up of sea salt and lemon juice.
Sea salt is abrasive to skin and it can slough off dead skin cells.
