Top Tips for Men’s Grooming

Men’s skincare can be daunting and sometimes hard to find the time to fit into a daily routine.

Therefore we’re put together a no fuss guide for any morning and evening routine whether you have five minutes or 15.

Proper prep Prevents Pain

For the best results, don’t shave the moment you get up. Take a shower, clean your face and wait a few minutes so the warmth of the water softens your beard hair.

Washing your face with  Invigorating Face Wash , with its light foam, will deeply cleanse without leaving skin dry or tight, and we recommend exfoliating twice a week with  Clarifying Skinscrub for a deeper cleanse and to help keep your beard soft – aiding your following shave.

However, if you have particularly dry skin or maintaining a full beard, apply pre-shave oil like  Optimal Skin ProSerum  or  Replenishing Face Treatment Oil  to relax the hair further.

If shaving,  Dual Action Shave Mud  is a multi-tasking dream. Doubling as a face mask to remove impurities, it’s also a nourishing shave cream to reduce irritation and leave skin soft and supple.

To save time, use in the morning to shave and at night as a face mask.

Hydrate

The perfect all-rounder,  The Hydrator  is a lightweight moisturiser great at protecting the skin from environmental aggressors, but because it contains soothing Aloe Vera, it’s also a great post-shave healer.

For something more specialised though, the  Balancing Hydrator  is great for oily or combination skin, as it helps regulate oil production and mattify the skin. For dryer skin though,  Age Rebel Moisturiser   is perfect and acts a great anti-ager.

However, to maximise the results of your routine consider using an eye cream such as the  Age Rebel Eye Hydrator  to reduce dark circles, or  The Brightener  to even skin tone.

And don’t forget to use the  Optimal Skin ProDefence  with its SPF 15 if your outdoors running, cycling or taking part in any other outdoor pursuits – to protect your skin from harsh wind, cold and harmful UV rays.

Body

Remember your body! Avoid dry skin with a regular body scrub using our  Invigorating Body Reviver  shower gel to gently buff away dry skin as you wash.

If you’re maintaining an exercise routine and feel aches and pains, our  Fitness Bath  and  Body Oils  will deeply warm muscles, and calm the body and mind post exercise.

So there you have it. A 10 minute job if ever there was one – there really is no excuse for not having an effective skincare routine.
