Healthy, youthful facial skin in 5 steps
The John Barber blog · manuelecosimi ·
Welcome, gentlemen, to the John Barber blog.
Today we talk about a fundamental aspect of men’s personal care: the health and youthfulness of facial skin. With a few precautions you can keep your skin healthy and luminous, improving your appearance and your self-confidence.
Why does skin care matter?
Men’s skin tends to be thicker and oilier than women’s, and therefore needs specific attention. Whether you are trying to fight the signs of time or to keep a fresh, clean look, a good skincare routine, together with small habits, is essential.
Step 1: Daily cleansing
Daily cleansing is the first step towards healthy skin. Using a cleanser designed for the male face helps remove impurities, excess sebum and the smog collected during the day. Look for an activated charcoal cleansing gel, ideal for purifying the skin without drying it: it works in three ways, cleansing, detoxifying and regulating the skin’s sebum. It frees the skin from impurities while respecting the epidermis, thanks to activated charcoal, gentle surfactants of natural origin and a patented blend of humectants with a hydro-regulating action.
Step 2: Exfoliation for a fresh look
A weekly exfoliation removes dead cells and gives the skin a smoother, more radiant look. A good exfoliating scrub for men helps reduce pores and prevent the build-up of sebum and impurities. A volcanic sand scrub removes impurities, exfoliates and smooths the skin by encouraging skin cell renewal, leaving it revitalised and luminous. You will feel as if you have the smooth skin of a young man again.
Step 3: Daily hydration
Hydration is essential to avoid dryness and early wrinkles. Choose a light but nourishing cream that moisturises without weighing the skin down. It is particularly useful after shaving too, to avoid irritation. A moisturising and refreshing face gel gives the skin vitality, tone and a pleasant feeling of freshness.
Step 4: Protection, the best anti-ageing
Protecting the skin of your face is essential to prevent the damage caused by every kind of environmental and everyday condition. A product such as an anti-age moisturising face cream is ideal to protect skin from ageing and the risk of spots.
Formulated for daily use, it helps restore luminosity to dull skin, strengthens the protective skin barrier and nourishes in a balanced, non-greasy way.
Step 5: Skin care for the night
During the night the skin regenerates: it is therefore the perfect moment to apply a serum or a nourishing cream. An ultra-moisturising night face cream, applied in the evening before going to sleep, works through the night leaving the skin more elastic and nourished: when you wake up you will feel you have gone back a few years!
