Good skincare is so important to keep yourself looking fresh and healthy. This holds very true for those of us that are dressing en femme. A good, daily skincare routine at home will help soften your face and keep your skin clean. It can also help prevent acne or spots in general. As you’re aging, good skincare can help treat early onset wrinkles or even existing wrinkles. And most importantly for CD/TG girls, having healthy skin gives a glowing complexion that also works wonders with makeup application. Here are some great skincare tips for men to get you looking fresh.
Tips for Glowing Skin: The Basics
If you are looking to start a skincare routine to unveil healthy skin but want to start off slow or are just looking for the basics to get going, let’s break down some must-haves.
A good makeup remover
Although it may seem odd to start here, a good makeup remover will be a big help for cleaning the skin properly and removing all your makeup’s residue. Since we use more makeup than our genetic female counterparts, it pays to invest in a good remover. Micellar water is a good go-to as well as Neutrogena wipes and Albolene moisturizing cleanser.
A foaming cleanser to remove any excess dirt or impurities left on the face
Another skincare tip is to use a foaming cleanser – this will create a foamy lather that is ideal for removing oil and layers of makeup. Just keep in mind that these cleansers can leave your skin a little dry after so try and find a cleanser with some moisturizing elements to it to help offset that.
An exfoliator to use every now and again to remove any dead skin cells
Exfoliators are a must-have in your skincare kit. Regular exfoliation will smooth and soften your skin and brighten your complexion. If any of you out there suffer from acne, exfoliating can help by keeping your pores from becoming clogged with dead cell pus and skin oil. This is a great tip for glowing skin.
A high SPF facial moisturizer
One of our top tips for healthy skin is investing in a good facial moisturizer. The best choice would be a minimum 30 SPF to help protect your face against the sun’s UV rays.
Skincare Tips for Men: Further Ways to Look After Your Skin
If you already have a skincare routine and want to take things to the next level, that is very doable as the amount of products on the market is endless. So what are the best skin care products on the market? That’s always up for debate. We would suggest doing your research and seeing what other people are saying. Let’s talk about a few products to be on the lookout for to add to your healthy skincare routine.
- A good eye cream can help with wrinkles and/or bags under your eyes. They can also help with dark circles under your eyes.
- Facial toners can remove any last traces of dirt and impurities stuck on your face after washing. By adding a facial toner to your skincare routine, it can have a great positive impact on your appearance and help keep your pores tight which is great for aging skin.
- An antioxidant serum can help cellular inflammation and fight off fine lines and wrinkles which are inevitable as we get older as our natural supply of antioxidants starts to go away.
- CBD skincare products are a newer entry but they are already making waves with great reviews from users out there. It’s definitely something to look into as it could be the future of healthy and natural skin care.
Winter Skincare Tips
With winter upon us, now is a great time to put together a winter skincare routine. Your summer routine would be different than a winter routine since the winter months may require a little more. You see, as it gets colder, your skin suffers more and is prone to dryness, redness and itchiness. Products such as hydrating cleansers or more creamy ones are better in winter than the lighter foaming cleansers. Skin plumping serums can be useful to add brightness to the skin. Thicker, deeper penetrating moisturizers are also an essential for winter skin care. Always look for something hydrating.
Skincare Tips for Mature Skin
For the older girls out there, you still need the basics to keep your skin healthy, but you should add a few more products to help achieve a glowing complexion that you can be proud of. Anti-aging creams are a big one for sure, but here are our must-adds for our mature ladies.
- Nourishing creamy cleanser
- A good exfoliant product
- An age-related serum to help skin look radiant
- A reviving moisturizer – be sure to lather this on your neck as well as your face
- An age-related eye cream
Add the facial toners we mentioned earlier and you can keep your skin looking youthful and healthy for years to come.
There’s plenty to unpack here, so we recommend doing your research and finding the right products for you as each girl’s face will be different. It’s also important to research the ingredients in these products to help prevent any allergic responses.
