Men can build a simple skincare routine with just a few essential products, according to a new guide. It doesn't require multiple serums or lengthy morning sessions; just a couple of minutes a day can make a difference.
Why Men Should Start a Skincare Routine
Skincare has often been marketed toward women, but men also benefit from healthy skin. Whether dealing with dryness, oil, breakouts, or sensitivity, the right routine can transform the complexion. Sticking to basics—a cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and SPF—is recommended.
Top Cleansers for Men
The INKEY List Salicylic Acid Cleanser (£12) dissolves excess oil and unclogs pores. Kiehl's Facial Fuel Energising Face Wash (£27) contains caffeine and menthol to energize tired skin. L'Oréal Men Expert Hydra Energetic Anti-Fatigue Face Wash (£5) includes Vitamin C to brighten dull complexions.
Serums to Elevate Your Routine
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% and B5 (£8.80) hydrates and plumps skin. La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Suractivated Serum (£45) delivers long-lasting hydration. Paula's Choice Anti-Aging Antioxidant Serum (£49) protects against environmental stressors and brightens skin.
Moisturisers and SPF Essentials
