Modern men care about their skin’s appearance and rightly so. After all, the skin is the body’s largest organ – why wouldn’t you want to take good care of it?

Starting a skincare routine doesn’t have to be difficult, time-consuming or costly. In fact, it should be fuss-free and affordable! There are just three steps – cleansing, exfoliating and moisturising – that can dramatically change your skin’s look and feel.

It's easy to be overwhelmed by the number of men’s skincare products on the market. Thankfully, we’ve got a cheat sheet for you! Here are the steps you don’t want to miss and some quality products that will have you looking clean and fresh.

Step 1: Cleansing

Cleansing twice a day (morning and night) helps to remove dead skin cells, dirt and oil to prevent pore blockage. Using a quality face wash will ensure your skin is looking clean and with a smooth complexion. We recommend: 

Percy Nobleman Face and Stubble Wash 75ml
Formulated with natural cleansers derived from coconut, Percy Nobleman’s Face & Stubble Wash will provide gentle cleaning without stripping your skin or hair of their natural oils for a fresh and invigorating start to the day.

Step 2: Exfoliating

Exfoliation is one of the most important skincare steps. It helps promote radiance, prevents ingrown hairs in and around the beard area, and increases skin cell turnover, which can reveal a brighter, smoother complexion. There are several ingredients that can help remove dead skin cells, visibly improve rough skin and promote cellular renewal – that is, the generation of new skin cells which is crucial for the skin’s health and appearance. We recommend:

Tooletries The Face Scrubber

Designed with gentle 100% silicone bristles, The Tooletries Face Scrubber is ideal for use pre-shave to help prep your skin. This can help minimise irritation (redness) and infection as it stimulates blood flow and gives the skin a good clean. Simply add your face wash to the scrubber and massage it onto wet skin. This easy-to-use scrubber is also a fantastic massage tool and can help shampoo your beard or stubble on the face. Plus, there are 4 colours to choose from.

Homedics Radiance Blackhead Remover

Say goodbye to blackheads (those pesky clogged hair follicles that form open bumps on the skin after being filled with excess oil and dead skin) and hello to cleaner pores with the Homedics Radiance Blackhead Remover. With gentle to intensive vacuum suction, this is the ultimate blackhead tool to help you achieve smoother skin. It has five intensity levels, suits multiple skin types and helps improve skin elasticity and fine lines.

Step 3: Moisturising

Hydration is an essential skincare step for healthy skin as water helps us maintain elasticity in our skin. It’s common for the skin to look more dry and uneven in appearance during the winter months and as we age. Cool temperatures and low humidity levels leave the air dry and can draw out moisture from the skin, while older skin has less sweat and oil glands. This means that the top layer of skin doesn’t retain water well due to thinning of the skin. Moisturising in the morning and at night can help hydrate the skin and reduce dryness. We recommend: 

Stuff Facial Moisturiser
This refreshingly cool daily face moisturiser is non-greasy and fast-absorbing. Made in Australia, it contains nature’s wonder plant, aloe vera, to moisturise, hydrate and nourish the skin, while helping to treat any inflammation or irritation. Think of Stuff’s Face Moisturiser as that trusty mate who brings out your best self.
