Whether male or female, skincare can never be separated from the discussion of skin types. Properly recognizing your skin type is the official start of skincare for men.

Skin types can also be found in the previous articles What Skincare Products Do I Need?

1. Oily skin

Before the age of 13-30, it can be said that most men (70%) have oily skin, especially during youth (middle school – high school – college), oil secretion is unimaginably high, plus under the stimulation of youth hormones, it is obvious that most men have oily skin.

The common skin problems are blackheads, acne, and pimple for oily skin. The principle is that oil clogs the pores and under the action of air, it clumps up to form blackheads or infects bacteria and then causes pimples.

The key to skincare for oily skin is to choose refreshing types of skincare products and oil control is key. We need to balance the water and oil through an effective skincare process regularly. So what is important for men with oily skin is: to wash their face carefully! Don’t forget to wash your face before going out or after coming home from a night out or a workout. If conditions do not allow it, you can carry a small particle of cleansing powder with strong cleansing power to thoroughly wash away excess dirt and oil, very convenient, and you can wash your face in between going to the toilet and washing your hands. It’s even more effective and useful than blotting paper! Later we will also introduce different facewash, please look forward to it!!

But many men even don’t know how to wash their faces in a basic way, which is a bit embarrassed. As there is an article dedicated to how to wash your face, I won’t go into it here, please refer to the article on How To Wash Your Face?

Dry skin is easily concentrated in the northern region and in men over 25 years old. It can be relatively common that the long dry climate combined with the impact of not caring for the skin as well as often washing the face but not properly hydrating the skin.

Dry skin makes a man look a little older, as it can cause fine lines and make a man look “mature”. Dry skin gives the impression of being lifeless, sunless, dull, and unhealthy.

The secret to dry skincare is Hydrate! You should also choose a moisturizing version of your skincare products. Remember, wash your face before you hydrate it, otherwise, it will look even more dried out and unsightly. Of course, if you are willing to spend some time, you can apply a mask regularly. Stick with it for a while and your complexion will change nicely.
