Should men care about their skin?

When it comes to skincare it is always associated with a "feminine" subject. Others may think skincare for men is a little over the top, sometimes few men also think that skincare is for women, just a good shower and hygiene is already enough. But do men really have to consider taking care of their skin?


We all know that our body produces natural collagen in the connective tissue cells but it can also be found in the skin and bones. However, men have more collagen and elastin makes their skin thick and firm than women. If men are not taking care of their skin it will become chronically inflamed and the collagen will begin to break down. Most men who have dry skin if not taken care of will become itchy and will open you up to irritation and possible infection if you scratch too hard. As you grow up you have to consider looking out for your skin as how you look out for your health. 


Benefits for Men 

Skincare for men it's not always the talk of the town for so many reasons like men should be "masculine" and the word "skincare" is like being soft; another reason is just simply as men are always in a hurry and don't have any time for such a skin routine and many more. Being cautious to your skin will give you the following benefits below:


  • It builds up your self-confidence
  • Looking good and feeling good always comes with self-confidence. By following a daily skincare routine your looks will slowly improve and you’ll be meeting yourself in the mirror every morning with a smile. People who improve their self-confidence and learn to love themselves, often find improvements in their social and professional lives as well. When you find it easier to just be yourself, you’ll find it easier to face challenges and all sorts of people, and just meet life with a lot more courage and wisdom.


  • Avoid skincare problems
  • Once you establish your daily skincare routine you will be avoiding skin problems such as acne, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis etc. As others may say "It's better to prevent than cure". 


  • Protect your skin from the sun rays damages
  • The most important last routine in your skincare is using sunscreen every day. Few individuals disregard this without knowing that they might get cancer. As I've mentioned, looking out for your skin is like looking out for your health. The sooner you work to prevent it by applying sunscreen daily, the better off you'll be.

     

    Skincare for men should not be complicated, just a simple basic routine is already enough to satisfy your skin. You can try by starting cleansing with warm water, using a moisturizer and sunscreen. You may read our full article  Men Skincare Tips.

    So, gentlemen, I hope you consider taking care of your skin for your own good and happiness, it's not always too late for everyone. Once again taking good care of our skin is also taking good care of our health.
