Skincare for men is underrated

roarkhoward777 · 2021-05-29T11:57:35+00:00

Yeah. Skin routine, trimming beard and mustache (takes more than just a razor to the face fellas go on youtube), regularly scheduled haircuts, and other aspects of self care will definitely net you more looks, interest, and conversations.

If you do this + work on social skills you will be getting a bunch of pretty girls in no time.

I think it’s more about taking care of yourself (visibly) than your skin I think. But there’s def an overlap in terms of lifestyle there.

AllNamesT4ken · 2021-05-29T11:31:11+00:00

Do you have a pic

Sonic_Uth · 2021-05-29T18:12:49+00:00

Dude that Sunday Riley shit is EXPENSIVE.

$65 for 1.7oz???

I’m interested in upping my skincare game, and I’m very aware that sometimes quality = $$$, but there’s GOT to be a product line that’s a better value.

TheMailmanic · 2021-05-29T16:26:51+00:00

In terms of skin the most important things are 1) drink water, 2) don't smoke, 3) moisturize, and 4) use sunscreen / limit sun exposure

Everything else is mostly marketing gimmicks

shaggy2gay · 2021-05-29T18:13:16+00:00

Same thing happened to me when I started dressing nicer. I think it's mostly the fact that you're making an effort.

100% this, when I tell people I’m 33 they have a tough time believing it. Because the weathers changed from freezing and raining to being sunny and warm I’m having to cut down on daily moisturiser as I’m having a few breakouts but looking after your face is underrated. Even the nivea stuff is not bad for people on budgets put that shit on your face and use SPF. Fuck the haters.

InfamousSteak1 · 2021-05-29T16:16:09+00:00

Absolutely love men with skincare routine

Meruem-x-Meruem · 2021-05-29T18:56:39+00:00

This is great! So happy for you! Skin care intermediate here: after you finish that face polish, I recommend switching to chemical exfoliants instead of physical exfoliants, as physical exfoliants can be a bit rough on the skin and cause tiny micro tears as you rub them in. Chemical exfoliants like AHA (also called glycolic acid) and BHA (also called salicylic acid) are the most popular/recommended, and they still get rid of dead skin buildup and clean out your pores.

This is an ad...

ValHova22 · 2021-05-29T17:42:53+00:00

Yes women care about skin and they will compliment you when it looks great. And not gon lie I love the compliment. I'm also slightly addicted to tomato based products that break me out. Usually I like to burn it out by sweating in the sun through exercise. However, I do not to get facial products for when Im not!

shinyrainbows · 2021-05-29T18:59:52+00:00

There’s nothing more unattractive than looking at someone’s face an all you see is grease (from lack of care), blackheads, scars, pimples (from lack of care), and whiteheads😢 skin care is very important, especially to many women. I have noticed that a lot of men can get away with using their 10-1 body wash, shampoo, conditioner, car degreaser, drain cleaner as a face wash as well and their skin looks great.

dodged_that_one · 2021-05-29T19:34:54+00:00

Women do all sorts of things to exfoliate. Guess what shaving does! We've got that in the bag for those of us who don't wear beards. Get some quality shaving soap though, it's nicer to use and makes you feel better too.

As for moisturising cream, you can get most of the benefits from using sunscreen. Anti-aging on products literally means that it includes sunscreen to prevent UV damage. Sunscreen is UV protection and a moisturiser, only reason to look elsewhere is scent.

suirpp · 2021-05-29T19:58:45+00:00

this!!! ive found that having good skin care, hair care routines, etc are great convo starters especially when other ppl compliment you on it first. i have long curly hair with a pretty solid routine for maintaining it and always get compliments from girls (usually with curly hair too) and always have good convos with them

feenchbarmaid0024 · 2021-05-29T13:33:24+00:00

I work in a harsh environment and use a quality natural moisturiser regularly, dont use chemical filled commercial garbage its no good for you. You should look after your body, no body else will.

Pine-Fern · 2021-05-29T12:42:18+00:00

Do you do that routine everyday or weekly? ... asking for a friend of course ;)

CodVast9292 · 2021-05-29T16:39:03+00:00

Why would you use the face cleanser 4th instead of first?

ImeanNoHarm521 · 2021-05-29T18:33:29+00:00

All of a sudden I’m way more insecure about the white dots on my face

ThrowawayYAYAY2002 · 2021-06-02T07:29:13+00:00

Don't forget to drink plenty of water.

That, combined with say, being a non-smoker & light drinker = tremendous skin.

Otec_Fedor · 2021-05-29T17:44:39+00:00

pics or gtfo

Amazing_Theory622 · 2021-05-29T19:56:05+00:00

I have always wanted to know how do guys exfoliate beard hair? Anyone?

redmodsarefagslol · 2021-05-29T13:30:26+00:00

Y’all are fucking weird lol take a shower (the right way) and drink water and 99% of your “skin” problems are gone.............:

fr0ntsight · 2021-05-29T15:50:26+00:00

Any specific products you could recommend?

Samokoske · 2021-05-29T16:07:18+00:00

Here's a thought. Can you recommend a subreddit?

FaithInStrangers94 · 2021-05-29T17:15:20+00:00

The gals are having a pamper party with face masks on Sat it would be totally awesome if you could come sis!!

But I agree. I mean the amount of people who put effort into work and other tasks but don’t take basic care of their physical health is mind blowing

lansgllgo · 2021-05-29T17:20:41+00:00

How do I get rid of blackheads?

Popthecoin · 2021-05-29T18:35:40+00:00

All I needed for a change was cut my hair shorter and let my beard grow. Also applying moisturizer for the skin. In my case only because it's dry.

My barber told me to put some on my neck.

Edwin_Tzar · 2021-05-29T18:54:30+00:00

This is true. Girls do care about skin. I grew up with with pimple-prone skin... girls would ridicule me, saying I look gross. Which of course affected my self-esteem but the point they do care about skin.

-Bran- · 2021-05-29T19:35:14+00:00

Agree 100%. Another not that obvious thing, that is genetic, but still interesting is hair thickness

Growing up I hated how “fro-y” and thick my hair was. I couldn’t really style it with what was in. Chili bowl looked like shit. Skater long hair was so helmety, Bieber hair looked weird, etc. It’s wavy, but insanely thick and friends would make fun of it and call me helmet head kinda

Now that I’m 30 and have learned to style it properly I almost always get compliments from both women and men immediately when I meet them.

This is definitely a subtle flex post lol but also guys learn to style you hair right and focus heavy on your thick hair. (Fades look god tier with thick hair)

IAmCalhoun · 2021-05-29T20:32:07+00:00

I just went bald and it’s even easier.

thegreyone3000 · 2021-05-29T20:57:09+00:00

Isn’t proper diet enough for great skin? 🤔

Maaz18 · 2021-05-29T21:17:46+00:00

I use Aveeno ageless moisturizer SPF30 and Aveeno ageless moisturizing night cream with a charcoal exfoliating face wash from L’Oreale

Tom1380 · 2021-05-29T21:34:30+00:00

Hey man I've been thinking about trying a skin care routine (I'm a complete newbie on this), I know you wrote the products, but can you link them please?

LanaTownsend · 2021-05-29T22:55:26+00:00

Good for you. I pay attention to skincare in general and it's a rarity when a guy has nice skin.

LaughOk528 · 2021-05-29T23:01:54+00:00

We girls appreciate a guy who take care of himself and smells good.Its a huge turn on. It paid off for you

LifesMysteries0 · 2021-05-30T00:00:53+00:00

I wish more men would do this. My 4 sons take excellent care of their skin. One told me recently (he is single and dating) he gets compliments all the time. Skin is skin, no matter who it is on It needs daily care. And props for taking good care of your facial hair too!

sarah1nicole · 2021-05-30T00:14:51+00:00

As a woman who has worked in the beauty industry for 10+ years, this is spot on. Men - listen to this man!

COMBATPROSSI · 2021-05-30T00:27:12+00:00

It’s very expensive but I use agelessrx NAD+ face cream and also inject NAD+ into my abdomen once a week as an anti aging measure. It definitely makes a difference.

RadicalTrigger · 2021-05-30T00:45:48+00:00

I, too, am a recent male-skin care convert! ✊

obiwan_major · 2021-05-30T00:54:46+00:00

This is funny, I literally just spent a hour looking at skin care shit, lots of good info in this thread thanks guys

jblotka · 2021-05-30T01:02:18+00:00

Any of you guys use that hair dissolving lotion? I've been considering using it, as shaving my lower bits usually results in ingrown hairs and sharp hairs as it begins to grow back. I'm just wondering what results those creams have produced and if they're worth the investment.

RobotGrapes · 2021-05-30T01:42:55+00:00

I've been experimenting with my skin care routine since 10th grade and I still have a lumpy forehead. Idk, maybe I should see a dermatologist at this point since I'm 21 and still have issues keeping my skin clear

AltruisticEmphasis · 2021-05-30T04:24:50+00:00

Absolutely. We ourselves don't seem to care about our skin. Even I started caring for mine.

FlyingPotatoelol · 2021-05-30T04:53:16+00:00

I recently got some lumin stuff

2021-05-30T06:02:37+00:00

Men who takes care of their skin is such a huge turn on

DangerCheck · 2021-05-30T06:40:33+00:00

I’m a security guard, I alter my appearance according to the role I am fulfilling. I grew a beard when I went into a role as a mall cop in meth head central (btw, a lotta meth heads are chill and don’t cause me drama, so I don’t cause them drama) then later as a bouncer.

Makes me look more... masculine? More ready to deal with yobbos and drongos I guess.

That being said, this post reminds me I need to maintain my beard better, starting to look a little feral. Thanks.

AdequatelyChilled · 2021-05-30T08:03:36+00:00

This also applies to looking after your eyebrows, girls notice brows a lot more than you'd think and it takes even less effort than your skincare to work on.

firelitother · 2021-05-30T10:07:35+00:00

Not really a skincare routine thing but what do you think about big moles?

TheKing_OA · 2021-05-30T17:37:05+00:00

What's the moisturizer? Asking for a friend.

gurbajsingh01 · 2021-06-08T06:52:02+00:00

Indeed it is underrated. I am extremely conscious about my skin and follows various blog websites to get recommendations. Recently I came across a link. Here it is

https://www.valextino.com/skin-care-routine/

The best thing about this post is it specifically defines skincare routine for men.

SureCredit · 2021-06-15T11:35:42+00:00

1 clean Hands. (this is by far the most important step.)

2 clean face with warm water (opens pores.) sometimes i Repeat. Remember guys, there is actual bacteria that lives in your pores that can cause problems. Many also have issues in the lower epidermins which someitmes take a week or more to become visible or repair.

3 Apply Toner within 30 seconds of your face drying. (sometimes i cheat and skip to moisturizers.)

4 shave beard. (i cant grow)
