Should men be using skin care?

Absolutely! Skin care isn't just for women - it's for everyone. Taking care of your skin helps prevent issues like dryness, acne and signs of ageing. Plus, having a simple routine can keep your skin looking fresh and healthy.

Whether you're dealing with shaving irritation or just want to keep your face looking its best, a few good products can make all the difference.

What is the most effective skin care for men?

The most effective skin care for men is simple and tailored to your skin type. Start with a good cleanser to remove dirt and oil, followed by a moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated.

If you're prone to shaving irritation, look for a soothing aftershave balm. Sunscreen is also a must to protect your skin from sun damage. Adding in a serum with ingredients like vitamin C or hyaluronic acid can boost your routine, helping to prevent ageing and keep your skin looking its best.
