Skin Care for Men

Like all the best skin care routines, yours should begin by taking the perfect shower to deeply cleanse, remove impurities and prepare your skin to absorb the nourishing ingredients of skin care products. Remember not to have the temperature too hot as this can be bad for skin, lukewarm to cool water is better as cold water helps to tighten pores, aid injury recovery and retain natural oils without drying out. NIVEA MEN Sensitive Shower Gel gently cleanses and refreshes skin whilst respecting the needs of sensitive skin, the formula is caring, feels soothing and is suitable for the hair, body and face.

For additional luxury, once you have cleansed your skin, lather on Rich Moisture Creme Caring Shower Cream. The luxurious formula of this caring shower cream will leave you skin feeling soft and intensely moisturised, even after towel drying. Another advantage of using an in-shower moisturiser in your skin care routine is that it can save having to apply a topical moisturiser once you are dry.

Exfoliation is a very important part in every men's skin care routine, however it is also very important not to overdo. Exfoliating too often can remove the skin's natural oils, drying it out and causing irritation. You should exfoliate your skin every 2-3 days (less if you have particularly sensitive skin) to make sure your pores are unclogged and dead skin cells are thoroughly removed. 

Exfoliating well also means your skin will be more receptive to products you will later apply. Using a exfoliating face scrub such as NIVEA MEN Protect & Care Face Scrub will help to deeply cleanse skin, unclog pores and wash away excess oils and impurities. Also enriched with aloe vera and provitamin B5 to protect skins natural barrier. Remember when exfoliating not to scrub too vigorously as you may cause irritation, instead go gently, letting the ingredients in your scrub do the hard work.

Unlike exfoliating, you should make sure to wash your face twice a day, everyday, as part of your skin care routine: in the morning and at night. Washing your face helps you feel fresh, clears away and fights impurities (such as blackheads) and removes bacteria and excess oils. A best cleansing product will help you to achieve clear and refreshed skin, whilst respecting the natural moisture balance of your skin. 

NIVEA MEN Sensitive Face Wash has been carefully created to provide instant relief from 5 signs of irritation: burning, dryness, tightness, itchiness and impurities whilst thoroughly cleansing skin of dirt and excess oils. This face wash is enriched with chamomile and is especially gentle on skin, being sure not to dry it out or leave it feeling taught.

Once you have thoroughly cleansed, the next step is to replenish the moisture in your skin so it feels refreshed, soft and hydrated. Keeping your skin moisturised helps it to stay healthy, reinforces it's natural defensive barrier and can reduce signs of ageing.

When visiting the store or looking for men's skin care products, you can be overwhelmed with choice and 'all-in-one' type products claiming that they do it all. Where possible, always try to look for products that are labelled for men, as the make up of men's skin is slightly different to that of women, the product formulas will reflect this.

A good place to start to find the best skin care products for your skin care routine is to understand your skin type and needs. If you have particularly sensitive skin, the best skin care products for your will be different to someone who has oily skin. Take a look at our men's skin care products as well as our men's skin care products for sensitive skin to discover the best skin care products for you.
