CALLING ALL GUYS! We’re here with a very important PSA: YES! Guys need a skincare routine too . just because guys have a bit more facial hair than their female counterparts, men too have a face – a face that people can see and that suffers the same skincare woes and troubles as women. Everything from acne, sensitive skin, excess oils to razor burn can all be tackled with a few smart skincare practices.
Masking is No.1
Boys, ditch the bar of soap. We’re serious, ditch it now – this does not belong on your face. While some bars of soap can be good for facial skin, most are jammed with skin-stripping ingredients that will rid your skin of its natural oils, drying it out and causing irritation. It’s pretty simple – opt for a cleanser that is made from natural oils that are fundamental in skin health, Hemp being our #1 ingredient of choice for all of the above (obviously).
Moisturise Daily (twice if you’re feeling extra nice)
The importance of a daily moisturiser should never be underestimated (boys, are you still listening!). Men’s skincare is often about prevention, but of course, to also retain vibrant, healthy skin. Such as, we recommend going in with your moisturiser once in the morning, and once at night before bed.
Stick to a Routine – Consistency is King!
Your skin loves consistency just as much as you do, so try sticking to a straightforward routine that you enjoy, remembering that patience is key for long-term results.
Your skin is constantly shedding its outer layer to make way for the newer skin cells underneath, causing you to lose millions of dead skin cells every day! Although slightly gross to think about all this dead skin (we know), this is why it’s so important to keep your routine consistent – using constant products fuelled by the powers of Hemp will help maintain your skin’s radiance as it routinely sheds, so you can always feel your best.
Let’s check out some celebrity skincare tips together, shall we?
David Beckham
Good old Becks, bringing blue steel and glamour to the international sports table since the early nineties. Is it any wonder with a camera-ready wife like Posh Spice that Davey here takes excellent care of his skin?
Of his skincare routine, he once said “I cleanse, I moisturize, I’m in and out in seven minutes.”
While we hope for Posh’s sake that he takes more than seven minutes going in and out in other areas of his life, we do respect the spirit of his message – that it doesn’t have to take forever to take care of your skin
Pharrell Williams
Rapper/producer/entrepreneur Pharrell Williams told the world just how important skincare is to him in a 2014 interview. He said supermodel Naomi Campbell pulled him aside years ago to emphasize the importance of regularly going to the dermatologist. She also told him to stop using bodgy drugstore products. Of course that’s a sentiment we agree with 100%!
Pharrell uses a top-notch facial cleanser and washes with cold water to close his pores.
Many male celebrities have learned the value of daily sun protection, no matter what. That’s because the sun’s UV rays can damage your skin even on cloudy, rainy days. And since UV damage is the #1 cause of the aging process, it’s worth protecting your skin.
Hydration is critical to having clear, youthful skin. But so is nourishing your skin with powerful, natural ingredients. That’s why so many male celebrities and skincare experts swear by the combination of serum and moisturizer.
