Men: Cleanse and Exfoliate for Healthy Skin
The pores on men’s skin are considerably larger than women’s. Unfortunately this puts men in a tough spot because their pores are far more likely to get clogged. To prevent this from happening, men need to cleanse their face daily and exfoliate at least once a week. This will keep the pores clean and allow the skin to breathe.
So, when is the best time to cleanse? – Right before you go to bed. This allows all of the impurities accumulated on the skin’s surface to be removed, allowing the skin to rest.
When it comes to which products to use, there are many options ranging from creams to lotions. Make sure to look for products that contain mild surfactants. New generations of skin care products contain these ingredients, which eliminate solid pollutants and excessive oil from your skin without irritation.
For the weekly exfoliation, clay-based products are ideal because of their proven ability for wiping out dead cells. Look for natural mud/clay masks. These are naturally charged with minerals that help nourish the skin. Quality natural masks may cost more than lesser alternatives, but you will notice the results.
Remember guys, larger pores mean that more nasty stuff can get caught in them. Keep them clean in order to keep your skin refreshed. You’ll feel the difference and so will your significant other.
