Skin is the only rgan of the body that directly faces the harsh environmental conditions. This can often lead to premature ageing, spots and sometimes, serious medical issues too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you recently started noticing that your skin is getting dry, showing scars, or having more pimples, adopting a better skincare routine as your new year resolution could be a great idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly though, unlike women, men usually do not follow a proper skincare routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The article is a part of our comprehensive series on \u201cSkincare for men<\/a>.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do men need to follow a skincare routine?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of gender, a proper skincare routine is essential for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The present generations is not as blessed as our forefathers who lived in a pollution free environment with clean water and pure air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Times have changed, and there is no limit to the extent of pollutants our skin is exposed to, such as -dust, dirt, UV radiation, chemicals, smoke etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If men don’t take care of their skin, signs of ageing will appear quite early, and before you know it, your pics look much older than your actual age!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best skincare routine for men<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here is a list of essential steps to ensure that your skin is well taken care of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Cleanse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The outer layer of your skin accumulates dead cells, sebum, bacteria, dust particles, and other harmful pollutants through the night. Therefore, an important thing to do every morning is to cleanse your skin thoroughly to remove all the dirt and debris accumulated from the previous night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Use a scrub<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This process will help remove the dead cells from the out layer of the skin and help the healthier skin lying underneath to appear. Various facial scrubs specially formulated for men are available in the market. Choose one that\u2019s gentle on your skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Moisturise and hydrate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your skin must retain enough moisture to remain supple and youthful. When a person ages, the collagen content in the body will steadily decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus the water holding capacity of the body also decreases. However, by applying a good moisturiser, the water content of your skin can be sufficiently retained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Toner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As human skin is naturally acidic, using a toner will help the skin’s pores to tighten, thereby offering protection from environmental pollutants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Sunscreen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a crucial step that most men neglect. Applying sunscreen on the skin’s surface will help protect the skin from exposure to harmful UV radiation from the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
