Men’s skin deserves the same care and attention as women’s. Starting a simple routine early helps build healthy habits before dryness, irritation or visible sun damage become concerns.
Let’s clear up three common myths:
-
“Skincare is only for women.” Everyone’s skin needs care. Choose products for your skin type and concerns, rather than gender alone.
-
“I’m too young to start.” You don’t need to wait for wrinkles. Gentle cleansing, moisturising and sun protection are useful habits to establish early.
-
“A good routine takes too long.” Start with the basics: a gentle cleanser, a suitable moisturiser and broad-spectrum, water-resistant SPF 30 or higher before heading outdoors. A serum can be an optional addition.
A quick morning tip: Apply moisturiser while your skin is slightly damp, and treat sunscreen as a separate essential unless your moisturiser provides suitable SPF protection.
