Healthy skin does not discriminate between genders: more and more men are choosing to take care of their face, to have a youthful and luminous appearance.
Gone are the days when men's skincare was limited to shaving alone, and the cosmetics scene is increasingly dominated by products aimed at men's skin care, to hydrate, reduce shaving-related problems and combat skin aging.

Specific skincare for men
Men's skin has a different composition than women's skin.
In fact, it tends to have a greater thickness and be more compact , thanks to the greater quantity of collagen fibres naturally present within it.
Male skin also tends to have a greater number of sebaceous glands , which can lead to excessive sebum production that can cause enlarged pores and blemishes.
Furthermore, men are exposed to continuous irritation due to shaving, which can cause sensitivity and reactivity of the skin.
The steps of male skincare
A good skincare program specifically for men's skin consists of 4 daily steps.
Follow this simple routine morning and night, using the right products for your skin type: you will get visible results in a few weeks.
Detergent
Cleanse your skin morning and evening with a specific facial soap, massaging it into damp skin for a few minutes.
For a deeper cleansing action, use a sea sponge: it will help you improve tissue oxygenation, remove impurities, dead cells and excess sebum.
Tonic
Choose a toner specific to your skin type: it will help you rebalance the skin's pH and prepare the skin for subsequent treatments. It also eliminates any dirt, detergent and limescale residues from the water after cleansing.
Take the necessary amount of product and apply it to the face, tapping lightly to aid absorption.
You can find facial toners on the market that already come with a dispenser: in this case you can spray the product directly onto your face and pat it in to let it absorb well.
Serum
The face serum is a concentrated product that, thanks to its fluid consistency, quickly transports the active ingredients into the skin.
Apply a pump of product and massage from the center of the face outwards and from the neck towards the forehead, to hydrate, tone and plump the skin.
Hydration
Face cream is the last step of a good routine: it provides all the necessary active ingredients to the skin and must be chosen in a specific and targeted way.
Apply to the face, on dry skin, performing a delicate massage that promotes rapid absorption, stimulating blood circulation.
Along with the 4 daily steps, combine these two intensive treatments to obtain even more evident results!
Exfoliating
Exfoliation helps you remove impurities and dead skin cells.
Apply a small amount of product to the entire face, massaging and insisting on the most impure, oily and damaged areas, before rinsing with warm water.
Exfoliation stimulates cell turnover, gives skin shine and combats skin aging.
A good exfoliation prepares the skin for shaving, also preventing the formation of ingrown hairs.
Face mask
The face mask is an intensive treatment, rich in active ingredients, which helps you intensify the effects of your skincare.
You can choose a DIY mask to prepare at home with specific clays or you can choose a ready-made cream or fabric mask.
Apply the face mask after cleansing and exfoliating and follow the application times indicated on the product.
If you have prepared a clay-based mask, be careful not to let the product dry on your face, but moisten it from time to time with a toner, hydrolate or thermal water.
After removing the product, proceed with your toner and the other steps of your daily skincare.
