Ask a woman what feature does she notice in a man first, and you’ll get a different answer each time. Some might say – the behind, eyes, arms, smile, abs, ass, and so on and so forth. You might be spending hours in the gym to make sure your body is in top physical condition to satisfy the choosiest woman!
But nothing can ever make or break a first impression like one’s face! At the end of the day, if your face is greasy or you have a rash on your chin, it’s a little hard for anyone to look beyond that and appreciate your toned body, isn’t it?
The basic three step procedure:
The basic skin care rule for a man at the end of each day is an easy 3-step procedure with very few products involved. It does not involve a huge investment in terms of time, money or number of products. You don’t have to go to the salon like the women and subject your face to extensive cleansing, rubbing or apply endless number of packs!
All you have to make sure is that you look after you skin. A well looked after skin will also go a long way in getting the ladies’ attention.
Step 1- Cleansing
Use a deep cleansing scrub or a good cleanser from one of the many brands available in the market. If you are embarrassed by sweet-smelling cleansers, pick up Neutrogena. Even Nivea has a men’s range of skin care products now. A cleanser is designed to clean your pores, remove dirt stuck in them and cleanse your face completely. And a scrub will remove dead skin cells, blackheads and whiteheads to reveal a smoother skin. You can choose one depending on how much attention your skin needs. You could use the face scrub once a week in addition to cleansing your skin every day.
This will make sure that the ravages of the city’s pollution and weather don’t affect your skin. To make sure the cleanser works well for you, take a small coin-sized amount on to your palms and mix it with a little bit of water. Use your fingertips to massage it on to your face in circular strokes. Rinse well and dry your face. Your skin will thank you for years to come if you do this at the end of every day.
Step 2- Moisturizing
Use a good moisturiser on your face after cleansing.Apply a small coin-sized portion of moisturiser on your face and neck region. Massage on to neck in upward strokes and on your face in circular strokes. The kind of moisturizer you choose should depend on the quality of your skin. If you have a dry skin, choose a moisturizer that has extra nourishment. But those with oily skin stay away. Another thing to look out for is that the cream should get absorbed quickly; you don’t want to end up looking like as if you just had an oil-bath!
Also make sure that you shave with a good quality vitamin enriched shaving cream. This will prevent those unsightly neck rashes and those with sensitive skin won’t be bothered by redness in their face after a shave. A good shaving cream can solve half your skin problems.
Look out for ingredients like chamomile, aloe vera, vitamin B5 or vitamin E in your shaving creams. These ingredients soothe the skin and protect it from getting irritated. For a good shave, use warm water liberally while shaving and use only enriched shaving creams. Clean your face properly after shaving.
Step 3 – Additional tip: Sun Protection
Using a good unscented sunscreen every day will greatly help in hydrating the skin and protecting it from harmful sunlight. It will also keep the skin from ageing prematurely. If your face tends to look oily with a sunscreen it means the cream is too rich for you. You can try a sunscreen gel, which will work just as well. Make sure that you apply enough to cover the skin on your neck and face.
It's as simple as that. No mud masks and definitely no cucumbers on your eyes. So from now on, you can dedicate 90 seconds to the face and use the other 2 minutes of your morning to work on your abs.This 3- step process is more than enough to make sure that your face won’t look like an oily samosa and will instead make a woman’s eyes linger to marvel at your skin tone and who knows, maybe even envy you!
