The definitive guide to what every guy should have in their bathroom cabinet for youthful fresh skin and the best buys on the high street, whatever your spend.
Come on boys, it's just as important for you to look after your skin as it is for us women but so many of you have a routine of soap and water which is dehydrating and aging. We are so past the days where exfoliating and moisturising was just a girl-thing. A good skin care routine for a guy doesn't have to be time consuming or complicated. Here are a bloke's three bathroom basics to help keep aging at bay:
- Face wash should be used morning and night - forget soap – it's drying and does nothing for the skin except strip it of everything it needs. A face wash nourishes as well as cleanses.
- An exfoliator is great for guys once or twice a week just to get rid of dead skin cells, rejuvenate the skin and get its zing back.
- A moisturiser should be used morning and night. Men are prone to all the same elements as women – the sun, pollution, air conditioning – all of which damage the skin, which in turn ages it. A moisturiser nourishes the skin and will help stop premature aging.
