Skincare 101 – better

MAN
INTHE
MIRROR

You may have thought you’d left skin concerns
behind after the ravages of teenage acne – but is
your skincare routine up to par? Do you even have
a skincare routine? Does stealing your partner’s
fancy facial products count?
The good news is that keeping skin looking
and feeling great doesn’t require a garage full
of product or knowing a lot of jargon. Simple,
effective products will help achieve a fresher
looking face in minutes.
“Oil control and shine can be an issue for men
18–30 which can lead to break outs, pimples and
blackheads,” says Dr Howard Murad, founder of
Murad skincare. “This is because of the higher
levels of testosterone which increases the
activity of the sebaceous glands. Coupled with
the fact that men’s sebaceous glands are smaller
this can often lead to acne. This can
also be exacerbated when shaving, as the skin
becomes more irritated.”
Educating men on simple but effective
skin rituals is the first step in improving skin
condition. This includes using exfoliating
cleansers and helping control bacteria that can
trigger breakouts.
“In later years men’s skin may often still feel
oilier, this can be worsened depending also on
their working environment,” says Dr Murad.
“If they work outside, such as in a more
physical job, dirt and pollution can impact the
skin further, whereas in an office job the skin
can be affected by air conditioning or central
heating which essentially dehydrates the skin,
if the client is not using efficient moisturisers
the skin will naturally produce more oil to
rebalance itself.

“With this type of shaver, a foil mesh covers
the linear blades meaning it’s kinder to

with its slots cutting close to the skin offering a
closer shave than rotary. With a foil shaver you
can either follow the direction of the hair or
shave against it.”

If you’ve normal skin with thick or heavy
hair, a rotary shaver should be your pick.

“Designed to follow the contour of the face,
as you move the shaver in a circular motion,
hairs slip into openings in the heads and are
cut off. The circular motion makes it easier to
manoeuvre around difficult areas such as the
neck and chin.

“Rotary shavers give you the best results
when you have strong hair growth and are
cutting longer hairs. They are ideal for people
that don’t shave every day or clean shave or
need the closest shave.” ITM
