Understanding the needs of her skin

Cleansing the face every day is not enough. To have a beautiful skin, you must also moisturize it . We make a diagnosis of his epidermis beforehand to understand his needs and be able to choose the product that will best suit his problem. Indeed, the supply of face creams for men keeps growing and in the middle of all, not easy to make the right choice.
- For so-called normal skins (with no real problem), a very fluid moisturizing treatment does the job: they need to be well hydrated and protected from external aggressions such as pollution and dust.
- For mixed skin (oily on the zone T: forehead, nose and chin), the goal is to matify this part while moisturizing the rest of the face. It is therefore better to opt for a mixed care, both matifying and moisturizing .
- Oily skin should eradicate their worst enemies: pimples and blackheads . For this purpose, a mixed care is chosen which makes it possible to dry and matify the problem areas and to hydrate the skin throughout the day.
- For dry and reactive skins , the goal is to hydrate the skin intensely by choosing, if possible, products that are not very aggressive designed for sensitive skin . The textures must be light so we opt for milks , lotions and creams fluid .

The texture of the moisturizing cream is an important thing to consider: in winter, we choose textures richer than in summer to better protect his skin from the cold .

When to use an anti-aging or anti-wrinkle product?

In men, the lines and wrinkles occur much later than women. When the clear skins of our men begin to see the first signs of age appearing in their forties , the other types of skin tones will not have wrinkles before their fifties. It is therefore advisable to choose here a suitable product, anti-aging, with a fresh texture to moisturize its skin deeply and to erase fine lines. While women start using anti-aging products as early as 20 or 25 years old, men have a little more time in front of them. Although of course, it can not hurt to start in these waters to stop wrinkles as soon as possible.

And as the skin of the man is thicker and tends to be greasier , it produces more sebum than that of the woman . Overall, in the 20-40 age group, the majority of men have mixed or problem skin. The use of a scrub containing fruit acids at least once a week is then essential to exfoliate , regulate the production of sebum and eradicate the problems of incarnated beard hair .

BB and CC creams, what is it for men?

New make-up ranges adapted to men are beginning to develop. It is no longer uncommon to cross the market of cosmetics, BB creams , CC creams and other types of creams slightly tinted specially designed for men. These products help to deflate and unify the complexion without the make-up effect and above all, to camouflage redness and other skin problems like rosacea . But beware, these creams are not moisturizing enough to be used alone, especially for dry and reactive skin .
