Many experts in the field say that the skin of men is different from that of women. This is due to the higher rate of testosterone that makes the skin oilier and hairier as well as thick, and therefore there is a need to use products of various textures that can support thick skin and penetrate over the beard.

First of all, let's define the 3 correct steps for a Basic Skincare Routine, to be performed at least twice a day, morning and evening before going to bed:

1. To cleanse

The first step is to start washing your face with water and a detergent suitable for your skin type.

It's the fundamental step to remove dirt, sweat, pollution and dead cells that can clog pores, causing acne, pimples and skin irritation.

2. To hydrate

Once the skin is cleansed, it is important to moisturise it with special creams to always choose according to the type of skin.

This step is important to prevent wrinkles and in general premature cell ageing.

*Note: to moisturise your skin you also need to drink at least 2L of water a day.

3. UV protection

Last step for an essential skincare routine is the use of a sunscreen that protects against UV rays. It may seem strange, but you have to protect your skin from ultraviolet rays not only in summer.

Now that you are aware of the basics of a skin care routine, let's move on to define some more specific steps and various useful products that you will no longer do without, whatever your skin type: oily, dry or sensitive.

Your skin is oily when it is prone to vents, pimples and blackheads, and has a shine that becomes increasingly visible throughout the day. To counteract these effects, it is sufficient to take an appropriate skin care regimen, with the use of the right products:

1. The first step is to clean your face to clear clogged pores and eliminate excess sebum. We advise you to use the detergent de La Roche-Posay suitable for this type of skin.

2. After cleansing your face, once or twice a week, use a scrub like Bull Dog to deeply erase the most stubborn impurities, leaving the skin smooth and soft to the touch.

3. As a third step, use a functional tonic to balance and control oily skin. The ideal product for this step is the Clinique for Men tonic. Remember not to overdo it!

4. LThe last stage is the moisturiser. It can be countersensus to moisturise an already oily skin, but it is thanks to the cream that the skin produces less oil. The ideal in this case is the Neutrogena moisturiser.

Dry skin is characterised by a hydration problem that leads to having a dull, dull face and a feeling of pulling skin.

It is, therefore, necessary to rely on a daily routine consisting of at least 3 steps (detergent + tonic + moisturiser), and occasionally you can add a fourth element that is the mask, which helps to bring back the optimal level of hydration:

1. The product to cleanse an opaque and dry face must have a consistency in mousse or milk, this is because it favours more hydration and at the same time the elimination of impurities. The recommended product is the milk detergent of Shiseido.

2. The ideal tonic for dry skin must not only purify, but above all rebalance, in order to avoid epidermal dehydration. In this case the Kiehl's refreshing cucumber tonic It will help you.

3. The essential step for this type of skin is to go and use a moisturiser, which nourishes and creates a barrier against moisture so that the skin does not dry out. Perfect for the eventuality is the plumping cream of SkinLabo, rich in hyaluronic acid.

4. The last step, in this occasional case, is the use of an aqueous mask, which is applied in the evening at the end of the day. The Occitane mask it will give you sensational well-being.

If you look in the mirror you notice redness, irritation and imperfections, then you are faced with a case of sensitive skin. If you pay the right attention, you can bring sensitive skin back to a natural state.

*Note: It is advisable to seek the advice of your dermatologist to test if your skin is sensitive to certain ingredients.

1. Cleansing sensitive skin requires delicate products, like the soothing detergent from BioNike.

2. As usual, even for sensitive skin it is necessary to use a tonic that can help clean the skin better without causing imbalances or irritation. Vichy has created the perfect tonic that helps eliminate residues and impurities, maintaining the balance of the skin unchanged.

3. Hyaluronic acid is a turning point for those with sensitive skin. Collistar serum, special for male sensitive skin, it will give its benefits.

4. The addition of a moisturiser, after serum, like the one offered by Nivea Men, it ensures the skin hydration without any problem.
