The paradigms of external body care and health have changed, it is no longer only women who give relevance to their appearance, especially the appearance of their skin; At present, the market for products designed for this purpose has opened space for a wide range of options for men, most of them quite expensive. Fortunately, there are homemade, natural and very effective alternatives that promise the same or better results.
How should be the care of men's skin?
The basic routine for maintaining the good condition of men's skin includes washing your face and shaving; however, this is an understatement. To begin with, shaving correctly requires a series of measures if you want to preserve the health of your face:
1. Use foam, cream or shaving gel, after having showered or wash your face with warm water as the pores will be open, avoiding allergic reactions and irritations.
2. Moisturize the skin after shaving with lotions that also offer soothing and repairing action.
Regarding the care of the rest of the body, maintaining hydration will be crucial - repeating the same steps, assuming that it is for men who wax completely - as the years pass and the action of external factors, the skin loses smoothness and elasticity.
In this sense, body creams will be as important as facial ones, betting on those dermatologically approved and adapted to the type of skin; Sunscreen cannot be lacking, especially in the athlete who enjoys practicing outdoor sports, recommending those with SPF between 20 and 50, although the exact figure will depend on both the hours of exposure, as well as the sensitivity and phototype of the skin.
Likewise, harmful habits such as sedentary lifestyle, unbalanced diets, smoking and abusing alcohol should be avoided, after all, nicotine constricts blood vessels compromising the amount of oxygen received, while drinking too much causes dehydration. Optimal rest will be as essential as avoiding prolonged hot showers that dry out the skin.
Home remedies to care for male skin:
Whoever said that masks, poultices, lotions, creams and tonics were for women, was simply wrong; Like the cosmetic sector, there are numerous natural recipes with which to care for men's skin.
