THIS is the best men’s skincare routine

If you're a guy, what's the first thing to come to mind when you think, "skincare"? If it doesn't strike you as something men need to do, we don't blame you. Companies too often focus on marketing their skincare products to women and women only. We're here to tell you that even men need a good skin care routine. Let's talk about why that is, and read till the end for our 4 recommendations for skincare products you should be using.

Clean skin

At the very least, you want clean skin, right? Whether you're spending your days under the hot sun at a grimy construction site or sitting in an office, your skin collects lots of dirt throughout the day. Of course, this is even more important for those working a job that has them sweating a lot or exposed to dirt and dust, but it is also essential no matter what you do all day! A cleanser washes all that away and reduces the chance you'll get issues like acne and blackheads.

Less aged skin

Aging happens to us all. But you can control that by taking steps to slow down the aging process of your skin. Using the right skincare products can help delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles or help reduce their appearance if you already have some. 

Better looking skin and overall appearance

Skin that's taken care of rewards you by making you look fresh and vigorous. For example, bags and dark circles under your eyes age you and can make you look tired or haggard. Certain wrinkle types, for example, "eleven lines" between the eyebrows, can make you look permanently concerned, grumpy, or angry. The right skin care routine will help address these issues and help boost your confidence. Men have been conditioned not to place as much stock in their appearance, but men deserve to look and feel good, too.

Healthy, protected skin

Your skin care routine is not just about looks. It's also about good health. It should always include sunscreen. That sunburn may give you a rustic look, but it's far from safe. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, your risk for melanoma doubles with every five times you get a sunburn. Remember, sunburn, to any degree, is a sign of damage to your skin.

This damage builds up over time and can lead to potentially deadly cancers. Never skip the sunscreen. Even if your skin type is of the kind that doesn't burn, taking on any color or tanning damages your skin. Wear good quality sunscreen no matter the season; although the sun is not as intense in the winter, UV rays can still cause harm. Use sunscreen any time you will be exposed to the sun, even if it's just for 15 minutes or so. And up the SPF if you'll be playing sports or working out in the sun all day. 

Skincare product recommendations

Now that you know why skincare is so important, here are some product recommendations to get you started:

Arctic Berry Enzyme Facial Exfoliator: Exfoliation is vital to prevent rough skin. This scrub is excellent for mature skin and helps to strengthen the skin and increase elasticity. It also helps retain moisture, necessary for helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
