1, the correct skin care method for men
1, skin cleaning is essential.
According to skin care experts, men secrete more sebum than women, about twice as much as women. Sebaceous glands secrete oil, which can make the skin slightly acidic under normal circumstances and inhibit the growth of bacteria; However, too much oil not only makes your face shiny, but also can't be discharged if it is blocked by dead skin or dirt, which will lead to the outbreak of acne and acupuncture because of the growth of bacteria.
Therefore, male skin cleaning is particularly important. The gentler the men's cleansing products, the better. Low irritation, neutrality or weak acidity are the most basic conditions, but it should have the bactericidal, anti-inflammatory and astringent effects needed by oily skin. As for soap, gel or lotion, it depends on your skin quality and usage habits.
Upgrade care: for men, as long as you are not dry skin, you should focus on cleaning the T-shaped part. Men should also pay attention to basic techniques when washing their faces. Cleansing products should be gently massaged on forehead, sides of nose and chin, and circled from bottom to top, especially in places with large pores, to induce oil, and then washed with clear water.
Daily routine cleaning can only remove some dead cells floating on the epidermis, so it is necessary to clean the skin regularly. You can do a deep cleaning with exfoliating cream or scrub on weekends. The focus of deep cleaning is also the T-shaped area. Massage gently with the middle finger and the ring finger with a relatively light intensity to remove excess oil and aging keratinocytes from the epidermis.
2. Care after shaving is very important.
If it is necessary for women to wash their faces and apply skin care products every day, it is also necessary for men to shave every day, but many men have not mastered the knowledge of shaving and aftercare.
First of all, shaving should be done in the morning, because the face and epidermis are relaxed at this time. Choose good quality shaving cream and mild shaving water with little irritation. Wash your face first, and then shave when your pores are relaxed and open and your beard becomes soft. The operation sequence should be from sideburns, cheeks and neck to lips and chin.
Secondly, you must use aftershave after shaving. Bulgari's experts pointed out that after shaving, there will be some small wounds on the skin that are invisible to the naked eye. These wounds need immediate care, otherwise the wounds are easy to be infected and difficult to heal, resulting in blisters, acne and other problems. The use of aftershave water is very simple. Pour aftershave on the palm of your hand, avoid your eyes and pat your face up and out.
Upgrade nursing: massage can be given before shaving correctly, which can make the aging cells on the surface of the skin fall off in time, promote facial blood circulation and improve the vitality of the deep cells of the skin. The method of massage is: first, apply some massage cream on the face, then massage with your fingers in circles from bottom to top along the texture of facial skin, and do it every morning and evening when you wash your face. Each massage time is about 10 minute.
3. Men also need moisturizing and sun protection.
Don't think that it is enough for a man to wash his face with a handful of clean water and a towel, and don't think that cleaning and aftershave care can exempt him from other basic care procedures. The most basic hydrating and moisturizing still needs to be done, starting from the foundation.
Many men think that oily skin does not need lotion, especially in greasy summer, so as to avoid "adding oil to the oil", but it is not. The evaporation of water in men's skin is higher, about 1/4 more than that in women. About 54% of male skin is mixed skin, which is prone to problems such as dryness and large pores. Applying lotion can form a protective film, prevent water loss, replenish deep moisture and nutrition, prevent skin sagging and wrinkles, improve dull complexion and enhance skin's resistance to sunlight and dust.
Upgrade care: Many men think that men don't need sun protection, but this is not the case. According to the survey, at present, men generally appear senile plaques earlier than women, and the situation is more serious. Therefore, skin care experts advise men to choose refreshing sunscreen products with low SPF. As for the mask, from the perspective of cleaning function, mud film is more suitable for men, but if you are afraid of trouble, you may wish to choose paper film.
2, the misunderstanding of male skin care
1, men don't need skin care: this is the biggest misunderstanding of men's skin care. With the development of economy and the improvement of living standards, more and more people join the team of skin care, but the concept of skin care of Chinese people is still very backward, especially men. Inherent male chauvinism holds that it is a woman's job to apply rouge and gouache to her face. When a man does this, he is not like a man. This concept has also led many men not to take care of their skin even if their faces are covered with acne. In fact, men's skin care is a very common thing abroad. In today's era when everything should be in line with international standards, we should also put aside our inherent prejudice and become a member of the skin care fashion men's team.
2. Skin care with women's skin care products: First of all, the skin differences between men and women determine that the skin care products they can use are different. Most men's skin tends to be oily and short of water; Most female skin care products are moisturizing, so most female skin care products are not suitable for men. Therefore, Bian Xiao suggested that men should choose more refreshing male skin care products. Now many brands in the world have men's skin care products. Choosing some brands specially designed for men can protect the skin more effectively.
3, wash your face with soap, do not need special facial skin care products: Because many men have oily skin, they like to wash their faces with soap, thinking that soap can remove oil and clean their faces. In fact, washing your face with soap is also good, but soap is not the best choice for cleansing. Regular use of soap will affect the pH of the skin. It may refresh you at first, but after a few minutes, you will find that your skin will feel drier or tighter, and the oil on your face will be more serious. Therefore, we need special men's skin care products suitable for us to cleanse our face.
4, men's skin is oily, so there is no need to hydrate and moisturize: Many men think that because the skin is oily, it can prevent the skin from losing water, so the skin will not lose water. Plus moisturizing skin care products are generally oily. If you use them, isn't that adding oil to the oil? Therefore, most men think that there is no need to replenish water and moisturize. In fact, this idea is very wrong. Because the skin is oily, it is necessary to replenish water and moisturize and adjust the water-oil balance of the skin.
